The premiere diving resort and wreck-hunting ground of the Pacific, Tufi Resort is the best place to relax in PNG, while also far-and-away the ultimate destination for divers. Here you will see thick walls and whole worlds of fish, manta rays clogging a tunnel like a highway rush hour, a few ultra-rare white hammerhead sharks among legions of other reef sharks, and ample outer reefs fringed with hard and soft corals, sea turtles, and loads of pelagic action! The Tufi Reef furthermore boasts tons of war junk and nudibranch, several amazing one-of-a-kind wrecked aircraft and sea vessels, blue ringed octopus, mini seahorses, and more. Add to this the stunning views, ambiance, and luxury of the place, and no wonder this is a staff favorite and one of the most popular and perfect destinations to go in PNG.

The general setting of Tufi is stellar, nestled in the green and blue interplay of some of the world's only lava fjords, where the rainforest rises out of the sea into steep green mountains to create one of the most beautiful, unique landscapes in Papua New Guinea. Resident parrots and Toucans roam the premises and approach you out of curiosity, villagers paddle canoes and wear leaf and grass ornaments to catch delicious fresh fish for the bbq, and the night sky is something of an astronomer's dream. Nowhere in the Pacific is it more clear and speckled by stars.

As further add-on's we let our guests choose to stay at the resort itself or else go super-budget with our partnering friendly, all-meals-inclusive, guest houses in the area. - We let you pick your favorite from our network at Tufi. This stay at our guesthouses is the cheapest way to see Tufi, and don't include any of the dives but do include snorkeling and access to outrigger canoes You can choose your guesthouse from our catalog at the top of the page. (above.)

Our included and award-winning cultural tour, which takes place on Sundays during our trips, and spans McLaren harbour, includes an outrigger safari through the fjords, several handwork demonstrations, and fascinating insights into PNG culture and local traditions, capped off by a local “sing-sing” dance/instruments/and singing) and concluding with a short transfer to white sandy Komoa - For a beach BBQ, snorkeling, and drinks. This is a non-dive day and great way to wrap up your trip. This takes place on the last day of our 6 day 5 night tour. 

As an optional excursion we run diving groups to dive on the sunken storied B-17 Flying Fortress Bomber from WWII, “Black Jack.” While a serious dive, the price is great and the scenery creepily unforgettable. Black Jack is available to explore from November through April, and requires 6 people at minimum. We also take curious but more more budget minded war-buffs to the close-by wreck of a downed B-25 Mitchell Bomber from WWII, available year-round.

Rates include MEALS and AIRPORT TRANSFERS in Tufi. Plus, snorkeling and use of canoes/kayaks on house reef.
