to nature
It’s time to put down that smart device and enjoy the delights nature
has given us with some trips of a lifetime with Secret Compass
Papa New Guinea
S
ome 200km from the southeastern tip
of Papua New Guinea, discovering the
Louisiades Archipelago is like stepping into a
bygone era. Preserved by a remote geographical
location, this coral fringed scattering of volcanic
islands is home to Melanesian communities, who
maintain a subsistence economy and seafaring
heritage. For spirited adventurers with the
energy to paddle through long days on open
water, this sea kayaking expedition promises the
ultimate rewards of isolated island existence.
