This is past most of the "pirates"areas from Indonesia...but I'm not 100% sure about it. | if you ever fly, you can go from Port Moresby to Fort Villa, than on to Fiji...and from there I'm sure you could find some boats. There is also a direct flight from Port Moresby to Cairns... amyhelenor amy vos Post Count: 47 Msg: #3 162 days ago, June 15th 2009 | yeah, thanks. | all I've heard is that it can be really hard to get a lift with sailboats and there are visa/ legality issues pretty often.. am just interested in seeing if it can be done without flying! PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 864 Msg: #4 162 days ago, June 15th 2009 | It is clearly a great way to do it. Few bloggers on travelblog have hitchhike on boat...but I don't remember any rright know...I mean the exact blogger. | Go on internet and try to google on it...I'm pretty sure there must be some web sites specializing about it...if you get time could be a great opportunity...do some research if the area is not to prone to pirates also...that's a BIG thing to take into account.

Once in Asia you can get a boat to Indonesia from Malaysia. From there get boats through Indonesia and cross overland into PNG from West Papua. You'd have to be pretty lucky to find a cargo boat willing to take you, but I remember seeing a few sites on the web about it |  ElAustraliano Paul Morrison Post Count: 183 Msg: #6 17 days ago, November 8th 2009 | Cargo ships these days are around US$100 per day but the TI community go back and forwards from PNG all the time in dry season.Maybe contact Torres Straight Island tourist commision or similar.I have spent a great deal of my life in Broome and the TI pearl divers spoke more about visiting PNG than Cairns. | EdVallance Edward Adrian-Vallance Post Count: 67 Msg: #7 16 days ago, November 8th 2009 | It's illegal for anyone to enter PNG through the Torres Straight islands other than natives of those islands | Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 7 | |||||||||||||||
