Kiriwina Island Papua New Guinea -What is Kiriwina Island Like?

- The third port on our Papua New Guinea Encounter was Kiriwina Island.
The main things to do on this island are swimming/snorkeling and browsing the wares of the hundreds of local traders who come to the beach and village area when the cruise ships arrive.
Haggling over is not really something that the locals do so if you see something that you like and are happy with the price then why not buy it and help the locals out.
The traders on Kiriwina Island will take some foreign money e.g. Australian dollars, but they have very limited access to banks and it is expensive for them to change it into local currency so please take Kina if you can. Because of the limited opportunity to exchange foreign currency you will find many locals asking to buy any Kina that you have for foreign money they have accepted. This is not only helping them out but a great way to exchange any unused Kina at a better rate than you would get back at home.
You generally won't find ship shore excursions on Kiriwina Island but the locals are more than happy to chat to you about the island with no expectation of payment so why not take advantage of mixing with them and learning a little bit about this paradise. Oh and if you feel like giving them a tip for sharing with you I'm sure it will be received most gratefully.
Hope you enjoy this video.

Hi Rob, thanks for another great video. We know what to expect now when we cruise to PNG. Best wishes to Ali, I hope she is better soon.
Hi Elizabeth. Thanks for the concern, she was good again the day after. It was just a 24 hour tummy bug thing thankfully. If there's anything else you want to know about the PNG trip just ask, we'd love to pass on anything we have learnt.
Well done Rob ! Hope Ali feels better fast - looking forward to seeing the Conflict Islands 🌺
Hi Mel. She was good the day after, it was just a 24 hour tummy bug thing thankfully. Thanks for the concern.
@@robandalicruisetravel That’s great news ❤️
Did you find out how much the boats were to go in? It didn't look like many people were in them!
Do you think wood items can be taken back into Australia?
Hi Rob, wondering if you buy wood products, I'm aware we may need them sprayed for bugs, but who does that? The cruise line or someone when we get back to Brisbane? I've never them not knowing who to see about it.
Hi Sharyn. Wood products aren't really a problem and shouldn't need to be sprayed. Ours didn't. It's the woven bags and those types of items where the bugs were found and quite a few of these were confiscated by Customs on return to Australia. If you're going to buy a wooden product then just check that it doesn't have holes in it from boring creatures. Give it a good shake and a hit over a towel to see that nothing falls out, that's pretty much what Customs will do anyway.
If you want to be on the safe side with anything you buy then take some bin bags and a can of Mortein. Put the items in the bag and give a good spray of Mortein then seal the bag up. Do this a couple of times before you get back and afterwards give the item a good bang over a towel to see if anything falls out. If it does it should be dead and if you bang it until nothing else falls out then you should be good. Worst case scenario is the customs find evidence of bugs when you get back to Australia. They will give you the option of spraying the item for you but it will cost a good few dollars and probably not be worth it. Hope this helps.
