Sudest Island (Tagula)
One of the larger islands of the Louisiades, with forested landscapes and communities whose local welcome shapes a visit.
A journey into the eastern Louisiades.
Sudest is also known as Tagula. An expedition account describes a locally hosted visit at Griffin Point, including a welcome and a journey into a rainforest setting.
Use such accounts as an introduction, then arrange your own visit with the appropriate hosts. The activities and access available to one expedition should not be treated as a standing offer to every visitor.
Planning your visit
Confirm your host, landing point and all transport arrangements. Allow sufficient time for a remote island itinerary.
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.
