Rabaul
Rabaul,
located on the island of New Britain, was once the provincial capital before a
devastating volcanic eruption in 1994. The town's proximity to the Rabaul caldera, a
flooded volcanic crater, offers a unique and awe-inspiring experience.
While caution is advised due to volcanic
activity, Mount Tavurvur provides a glimpse into the raw power of nature.
Explore the Rabaul War Cemetery to pay respects to those who lost their lives during
World War II. For a deeper understanding of the region's history, visit the New Guinea Club & Rabaul Museum.
For a more comprehensive exploration,
consider joining a Rabaul Scenic Tour. Shopping enthusiasts can find local handicrafts,
souvenirs, and fresh produce at the Rabaul
Market, or explore unique boutiques and
specialty shops for something different.
Rabaul offers a quieter nightlife
compared to other destinations, but visitors can unwind at local spots while
enjoying the town's unique atmosphere and the stunning volcanic landscape.
