Nuakata Island - Milne Bay

Nuakata is a mid sized island found east of East Cape and Boia Boia Waga.

Nuakata offers a totally different experience from the experience at Alotau, East Cape and Boia Boia Waga. This island has many smaller and virtually self contained villages peppered along it's entire shore line.

Nearly every afternoon around sunset, you'll find the local youths playing volleyball on the beach outside their church. You'll no doubt be invitied to join in and it's a great way to make friends. While you play, fishermen in their canoes will be drifting by quietly fishing for the evening meal as the sun sets behind them.

Locals can lead you to the nearby traditional burial skull caves and explain to you the no longer used practice and what it means to the people of the Island.
