ISLAND PROFILE / MILNE BAY

An island stay within the atoll.

PADI’s profile places the Conflict Islands Resort on Panasesa and describes beachfront bungalows and a dive operation. The island is a place to discuss a hosted stay or an arranged day visit directly with the operator.

Confirm the experience you are booking and how you will reach it. Resort stays, cruise calls and independent yacht visits have different arrangements; none should be assumed to grant unrestricted access to the rest of the atoll.

Planning your visit

Confirm current operations, access and transfers with the resort before committing to travel. Ask about inclusions and weather-related changes.

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.
