Conflict Islands
An atoll destination known for its lagoon and reef setting, with Panasesa providing a focal point for arranged visitor experiences.
A lagoon to explore with care.
The Conflict Islands bring together low islands, reef and lagoon waters in Milne Bay’s Coral Sea setting. Panasesa is associated with the resort and dive operation featured in the directory.
Plan access directly with the operator or your voyage organiser. Ask which activities are available and how marine conditions or conservation requirements may affect a visit. A resort or cruise visit does not automatically authorise independent access throughout the group.
Planning your visit
Confirm the specific island, access arrangements and transport before departure. Check current resort or excursion availability.
A locally hosted experience
Ask the appropriate hosts which places and activities they are comfortable sharing. Confirm fees, photography permission, transport and a return plan before setting out. Buy directly from local makers where possible and carry waste away.
