A DESTINATION
ExplorE PNG partners with traditional communities in coastal Papua New Guinea to invite small groups of tourists on
remote wilderness expeditions.
Running limited season stays at our two remote island marine sanctuaries out in the Coral Sea of PNG, as well as hosting expeditions into remote wilderness areas, Explore PNG aims to promote conservation through ecotourism whilst educating and supporting local community in non-destructive sustainable economic pathways.
The Explore PNG project is partnered with our urban farm and restaurant in Sydney, where 100% of all profits return to the PNG marine sanctuaries.

OUR ISLAND
Marine sanctuaries
Explore PNG is built on partnerships, trust and the understanding of local customs, culture and needs. working 100% with the traditional resource owners We have developed some unique places to visit that boast minimal impact on the environment and strong community involvement, where visitors arrive as a guest but leave as a part of the place…
WHERE OUR JOURNEY BEGAN…
Our plan was not to create a tourism project that supported conservation and traditional culture, instead we wanted to build a cultural conservation project that supported mindful tourism.
Explore PNG is founded by Australian photographer, urban farmer and conservationist Daryl (Daz) Byrne, who has spent a lifetime in remote wilderness and first fell in love with Papua New guinea after spending 5 months in a kayak travelling from Australia to PNG and along its southern coast to Milne Bay.
After more than 20 years in the region, diving, exploring, photographing and hosting guests at his first island lodge, Daz recognised the need to expand conservation efforts in to other remote and wild places, supported through a sustainable business economy with his business in Sydney.
His aim is to create remote wilderness conservation areas that work hand in hand with traditional cultures, supported through ecotourism, benefactors and the sale of sustainable products and services in larger international cities. A model he hopes to encourage others to support and replicate.
