Diving in Kimbe Bay
“The coral reefs of Kimbe Bay take me back forty years, to a time when corals grew in lush profusion, untroubled by the problems that beset them today. A short boat ride from Walindi Resort and I am diving on reefs that have half the coral species of the world, all awaiting those rare photo opportunities that come only with the clearest water. I am hard pressed to think of anywhere on earth that has this combination of vibrant health, diversity and beauty.”
– Prof Charles Veron

The coral reefs around Walindi Resort are extraordinarily rich. A recent coral count in Kimbe Bay revealed an incredible 413 species of hard coral. This is over half the total world species in one Bay, a truly remarkable statistic which makes Kimbe Bay the “Coral Capital of the World”. Over 900 species of fish have been recorded and this number will continue to grow as more research is done. Famous dive sites within Kimbe Bay include Restorf Island, Kimbe Island, Christine’s Reef and Emma Reef. On Kimbe’s reefs you can expect great macro life, schooling pelagic fish, sharks and friendly turtles. Kimbe Bay is also home to a well preserved Mitsubishi A6M ‘Zero’ fighter plane that makes a great dive and is excellent for photography!

Walindi Resort offers a great selection of land tours.

Hot river: A wonderful opportunity to bathe in water heated by the volcano with swirling pools, mini waterfalls and sticky mud. Bathers are needed along with insect repellant and suncream. The trip entails a 50 minute drive each way. Suitable for any time of day.

Nambala-Nick’s place: This property offers 1-3 hour nature walks in unlogged forest with tall trees and welcome shade. A stunning view point is accessed by a steep 10 minute climb. Bird watching at dawn or dusk can be very rewarding with over 50 bird species recorded here and over half of them Bismarck Archipelago endemics. A medicinal plant garden, traditional dwellings and cooking areas are also used by the host family. Early morning or late afternoon are ideal times to visit. Proper footwear advised.

Fireflies: For a quick after dinner jaunt, visit the firefly trees where the minute beetles flash in synchronous or pulsing waves of light. No walking involved, 5 minute vehicle ride.

Village life: Take a 1-2 hour guided walk through the village adjacent to Walindi Plantation Resort and chat with those at home doing everyday household chores or sitting out the heat of the day. Take insect repellant, water and wear appropriate clothing.

WWII planes: For anyone interested in war planes, the abandoned NZ4522 and B-25H Mitchellin are worth a visit. Entails a 40min drive along the scenic Talesea Peninsular. No major walking involved.

Kimbe town: If you want to experience the bustle of the market place, see life on the street and browse in the local supermarket and craft shop, a trip to Kimbe is on the agenda. Dress appropriately, have small denomination currency to hand and do not take any valuables with you.

Volcano walk: A 3 hour reasonably arduous walk up to the active Gabuna volcano, returning via the same route (2 hours). The track passes through tall primary forest and comes out in the open scorched valley with steaming vents, volcanic rubble and hot streams. The terrain is steep and can be slippery. A local guide leads the way.
