4. Papua New Guinea
Time forgot much of Papua New Guinea, or PNG, an isolated and incredibly rugged Garden of Eden. Located in the South Pacific north of Australia, PNG includes the eastern half of the worldâs second biggest island, New Guinea, and about 600 small islands. For indigenous cultures in secluded villages, life pretty much goes on as it has for centuries. Recent homegrown tourism initiatives, such as the villagehuts.com lodging and travel website, are making it a bit easier for adventurers to visit PNGâs untamed rain forestsâhome to threatened tree kangaroos and Queen Alexandraâs birdwing, the largest butterfly in the worldâvolcanic fjords, and vibrant coral reefs. At Tufi Resort, new sea kayaking expeditions make it possible to paddle between out-of-the-way villages and stay overnight in local guesthouses. And Walindi Resortâs 2017 programs include live-aboard dive trips to the outlying Witu Islands and Fatherâs Reef, both packed with whirling schools of brightly colored big fish.
