The beautiful tropical fjords of Cape Nelson offer some of the most spectacular scenery in Papua New Guinea. Combining the views with the excellent scuba diving on the isolated offshore reefs, it is easy to understand why the area draws visitors from all over the world.
The Tufi Dive Resort, situated as it is on the headland overlooking the main fjord and onwards towards Mount Trafalgar, offers a wonderful location to enjoy this special part of PNG.
But no visit to Tufi should be considered complete without some exposure to the local villages and their culture - either by attending one of the regular cultural demonstrations organized by the resort, or with a village homestay for a couple of days. If you have the time… do both!
While the homestays will take you right in to village life and provide a real taste of local traditions and customs, it has to be said that they are not for everybody as no electricity or running water is available. For this reason, most visitors opt for attending the cultural demonstrations.
