While Port Moresby may be known as a dry and dusty city, just 30 minutes out from the city you'll find paradise, also known as the Rouna Falls. Green and luscious, the majestic waterfall descends from the Sogeri Plateau provides the ideal introduction to Papua New Guinea. The plateau is also where the famous Kokoda trail begins, while the beautiful Varirata National Park is also located close by.
Consider viewing the falls from above on a helicopter tour. Tours operate regularly from Port Moresby and can reach some of Papua New Guinea's most isolated and beautiful destinations such at the Tufi Fjords, the Owen Standley Rand and the tallest mountain in the country - Mt Wilhelm.
