KAIBOLA BEACH - KIRIWINA ISLAND - TROBRIAND ISLANDS, PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
Visited SEPT 2017
KAIBOLA is a classic South Pacific beach - the soft coral based sand, to a greater extent than white than yellow, backed past times swaying palms/casuarinas too frequented past times friendly locals. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 fringing coral reef unopen offshore enclosing a shallow lagoon, alongside deep blueish H2O farther out. This is the sort of materials JAMES Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 MITCHENER inward his TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC wrote nearly - most of those stories were laid inward the SOLOMAN ISLANDS non also far from here.
I shot this from our visiting cruise liner, the GOLDEN PRINCESS. KAIBOLA is a variety of secondary call-in surface area for visiting cruises to KIRIWINA - the option is the primary town LOSUIA, only our item itinerary included many similar towns inward PNG, VANUATU too NEW CALEDONIA too no private beach call-ins, thus our arrival above.
KIRIWINA ISLAND is towards the lower correct of icon - volition go clearer if you lot click-expand.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA is i of those final frontier places, too the TROBRIANDS are fifty-fifty to a greater extent than final frontier (GOOGLE IMAGES shows a disproportionate** # of pix of nubile topless immature women inward grass skirts and WIKIPEDIA talks nearly some pretty whacked-out beliefs on reproduction too eating. Not to hollo the favoured local currency too the ability of magic).
PNG has hundreds of outlying islands alongside thousands of beaches - the mainland many more. Like I said, this is LAST FRONTIER territory. Aussie too other surfers are already exploiting this.
**I'm non also certain about Google Images photo editors - I remember they may go every bit dodgy every bit me. Or perchance they get got piddling selection - it's the photographers who are dodgy.
THE TROBRIAND ISLANDS
This icon came from BOSTON COLLEGE NEWS via GOOGLE IMAGES
KIRIWINA is the biggest isle inward the TROBRIAND group. But it's non just huge. KAIBOLA BEACH is unopen to the northern tip. Unfortunately GOOGLE EARTH'S Definition of that surface area is real miserable so I can't convey you lot the green aerial close-up of the place.
Interestingly my inquiry institute KITAVA ISLAND (the small-scale i directly correct of the 30km marker) a pop call-in for P+0 cruises. From pix they show, the beach at that spot is real similar to KAIBOLA.
KIBOLA-KIRIWANA-PNG (1) relative to other places inward this section: 2 MYSTERY ISLAND-VANUATU 3 YEJELE-MARE-NEW CALEDONIA 4 NOUMEA-NEW CALEDONIA v ISL OF PINES-NEW CALEDONIA vi LIFOU-NEW CALEDONIA.
Numbers may go clearer if you lot click-expand image.
The drib off on the send side of the reef is steep into real deep water, allowing the send to teach pretty unopen to the beach too small-scale wharf - which meant transfers via the ship's tenders were pretty quick.
Note how shallow the "lagoon" surface area beach side of the reef is - film was taken abt 1500 too the tide had dropped a few feet from early on morning, only things were pretty shallow fifty-fifty then.
SHORT SHIP TO SHORE TRANSFERS AT KAIBOLA BEACH
Early returnees business the tender wharf....
....and arriving. Dunno nearly the cheesy pirate topic - only that's cruising.
SOUTH END OF KAIBOLA BEACH
KAIBOLA BEACH extends nearly 300m S of the wharf - this is taken from nearly halfway along this stretch alongside maybe a fleck of telephoto.
Boat guys were lined upward hither offering rides out thru the fringing reef to past times the drop-off. Proved pretty popular. There was a fleck of friction inward the grouping - apparently some exterior villagers had paddled upward to cash inward on the action.
Beach hither is typical of the whole - non real broad only enough of sand left at high tide to lay a towel/sarong (if you lot click-expand you lot may go able to run across the high-tide grade close the bows of the canoes) - a fairly steep beach profile -,which along alongside the soft coral based sand too enough of coral debris made walking a fleck tricky (REEF BOOTIES recommended - Aussie supermarts are at nowadays selling them for less than $10 - fifty-fifty the ship's boutique had them for nether $20). Apart from coral debris the beach gratis of rubbish - locals in all likelihood groom it earlier send visits, only this body of body of water does non teach a lot of flotsam too jetsam.
Note the shade inward dorsum of the beach provided past times scattered trees.
LADY T TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SHADE
Note people paddling inward the shallows. Lotsa coral hither - those reef booties would go extra useful: although maybe non on the upper operate of the reef itself where these people are - a primal agency to destroy the coral.
SNORKELING KAIBOLA
This southern department seemed to go most pop snorkeling spot.
Water pretty shallow fifty-fifty at mid-tide - inward many places institute I had to stick to channels* patently cleared for the canoes, otherwise I was scraping coral. By the way, I get got institute the best agency to start snorkeling inward such areas is to autumn prone too start finning** directly off the beach:none of this wading farther out which tin go existent painful too unstable without reef booties.
Coral inward this surface area okay without beingness mind-blowing - a few colourful small-scale bommies etc. No shortage of tropical fish/sea slugs/starfish etc. But the best coral too sea life is institute on the drop-off. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few intrepid folk were waiting for gaps betwixt canoe trips inward the bigger channels to access the opened upward sea, only I've snorkeled enough of drop-offs - couldn't go bothered (cut me a pause trendsetters: I'm a 72yo geezer).
Note nipper inward tiny canoe - his type was also offering rides. So polite. But solely for passengers who are proficient swimmers - those tiny things non all that stable.
*the small-scale channels I selected didn't look to penetrate the slightly higher exterior lip of the reef dissimilar two or so bigger channels the commercial canoes were using.
**okay, I don't convey my fins (they select also much infinite inward my pocketbook too I locomote light) - solely my face-mask without snorkel (breath to the side a la freestyle). Of course of written report the send volition sell/hire equipment every bit create some locals.
LOCAL HANDIWORK
Behind the southern department sand locals had laid upward a business of "stalls" offering all types of local clothing, artifacts, fruit, another nutrient etc. Of course of written report it was possible to teach the ubiquitous "hair plaiting" too. They were amazingly polite - sitting patiently too quietly, proverb "hullo" - "good by", never pushy similar inward S due east Asia.
PNG MONEY IF POSSIBLE - run across if you lot tin teach a few PNG KINA beforehand: most ships telephone commutation them. The locals volition get got Aussie dollars only get got to select them to LOSUIA to telephone commutation too teach a lousy rate.
We also had a lot of kids coming upward alongside $5 or $10 of Aussie dollar or two dollar coins hollo for us politely if nosotros could swap for a banknote (Aussie would do) - the forex people volition non telephone commutation coins. So fifty-fifty if you lot innovation non to buy, it volition go appreciated if you lot get got some small-scale banknotes on you.
NORTH OF THE PIER
The beach is much the same too extends 500+m - the outset 100m inward a higher house gets enough of people - farther on fewer, so if you lot similar seclusion....
APPROACHING THE NORTH END OF KAIBOLA BEACH....
....these dudes had a proficient display of freshly caught fish going. No dubiousness had nosotros bought some COOKIE inward the ship's gallery could get got fried (or otherwise) them up.
Far due north destination of the beach delineated past times this rocky outcrop, beyond which the sand kinked....
....to the due east to run a km or so across to the north-west corner of the island.
DIFFERENT ASPECT OF THE SHIP FROM THE NORTH END
Those small-scale canoes seemed to a greater extent than interested inward line-fishing than tourist rides
Behind the beach inward this department were one-half a dozen fishermens' huts....
....which were a lot simpler than the housing inward the primary hamlet directly inland from the pier area. Kinda a communal affair going on hither - to a greater extent than materials for sale, some local dancing yada.
BUSY WALKWAY BEHIND THE BEACH
Locals seemed prepared for the ship's view wearing apparel wise - I didn't run across whatever topless grass-skirted nubile immature ladies - maybe PRINCESS CRUISES told them I was coming.
BACK TO THE SHIP
As many arriving every bit leaving at this early on stage, only I can't resist the ship's gratis belatedly luncheon buffet.
CASHING IN
Little kids collecting the occasional money - bloke inward front end of my bent downward too gave them a $10 bill! Good grief - where create I teach me a small-scale canoe?
ACCESSING KAIBOLA BEACH - most visitors become far off the beach on cruise-liners similar us. Others become far past times liner inward L0SUIA from where the ships too local operators run trips upward to KAIBOLA.
You tin also wing or ferry into KIRIWANA, where at that spot is express local tourist accommodation.
KAIBOLA BEACH is visited past times cruising yachts.
