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.
