You guys must really love danger :)

Travel warnings as follows to PNG and Hula in particular :)




Latest update




Still current at:10 February 2025

Updated:24 January 2025


Latest update:We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Papua New Guinea due to high levels of crime, tribal violence and civil unrest. Higher levels apply in some areas.

Local authorities have announced the Kokoda Track has reopened. Local communities can block the track at short notice. Check with your trekking company for the latest information (see 'Travel').

Ongoing fuel shortages can disrupt domestic travel, including air travel, with little or no notice. Protests, civil disorder and tribal violence can escalate quickly. Avoid areas where violence occurs and be alert to personal safety risks. Monitor local media for updates (see 'Safety').



We advise:Exercise a high degree of caution in Papua New Guinea overall due to high levels of serious crime.Higher levels apply in some areas.
