What are the Top Things to Do in Wewak?

There are four islands near Wewak which can be reached in under one hour by boat; namely, Mushu, Kairu, Yuo, and Karasaw. If you are willing to do what it takes to get to them, they are unforgettably beautiful and worth every ounce of effort. These islands can be reached by getting a ride on one of the boats from the harbor by the Yacht club every afternoon. There are between 5 and 20 boats on any given day all of which are independently owned and operated. You can buy passage on a shuttle boat for 20-40 PGK each way, but then you will have no control over when the boat leaves and you might find yourself waiting the better part of the day for the boat to leave. The other option is to charter a boat for 140-600 PGK round trip and the boat will leave as soon as you are ready to go. Because all the boats are independently owned and operated the prices and availability vary widely, but if you are at the marina at around lunchtime you can usually get to any of the islands for a fair price. Haggling is not culturally appropriate, but it is becoming more permissible if you ask around and you can usually get a reasonable price. All four islands have beautiful white sand beaches far superior to those available in town.
