Longan Island

Longan Island, also known as Pono, is a volcanic island nestled in Papua New Guinea's Madang Province. Located north of New Guinea, it's separated by the Vitiaz Strait. The island's geological history is evident in its two stratovolcanoes, Mount Reaumur and Cerisy Peak, and the impressive Lake Wisdom, a freshwater crater lake formed within a caldera.

Explore the unique ecosystem of Lake Wisdom, including Motmot Island, which emerged from volcanic activity in the mid-20th century. For adventure seekers, the stratovolcanoes offer hiking opportunities and stunning views. Discover evidence of human habitation dating back 1000 years through archaeological sites, revealing trade networks with other regions.

While shopping options are limited, you can find local crafts and souvenirs in settlements like Malala, Bok, Poin Kiau, Kaut, and Matapun. Longan Island offers a tranquil atmosphere with limited nightlife. Relax at spots like Ralum Country Club or Royal Papua Yacht Club, enjoying sea views and mingling with locals and expats.
