Overnight Island Trip - Muschu Island
- Varighet: 2 Dager (ca.)
- Lokasjon: Wewak
- Produktkode: muschuovernight
One of the most fascinating regions of Papua New Guinea is the East Sepik province. This is an area covered with verdant lush, and dense forest on one side, mountains on another, and beautiful coastlines all around. The East Sepik is a maze of islands with one of the world's largest waterways, the Sepik River, tranquilly winding its way through them.
One of the many picturesque islands in the province is Muschu Island. Often described as an island you do not want to leave, Muschu Island is a quick trip just off the coast of Wewak. It is a well-hidden secret that offers incredible scenery making it an epic overnight trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city.The turquoise waters surrounding the island and the nearby reef can make for a great day of relaxing, swimming, or snorkelling. Should you opt to venture off for a bit of a hike, you're very likely to find some remnants of WWII. There are pieces of a Japanese aircraft scattered throughout the area, easily camouflaged by the rest of the forest as they have become overtaken by the lush forest.
As was much of the area during WWII the island played a large role hosting mainly Japanese soldiers before their surrender. After their surrender, the Australian army used the island for a short time as a prison for POW's.
