New
Guinea Tours Operates out of Dalom Guesthouse,
a well-known and popular guesthouse on the East
Coast of New Ireland. They offer Bird watching,
Surfing, Bush walking, Snorkeling, Fishing, Road
Trips and Cultural Tours all along the coast and
into the beautiful mountains of central New Ireland.
They also offer tours out to the remote and rarely
visited islands of the Tabar Island Group.
Surf
The surf season is from October to March. Dalom
has a good, consistent break right at our beach.
Since it is a river mouth, it is easy to paddle
out and then ride in. The break is a fast hollow
right, breaking over the reef onto a sand bar.
After a fun surf you can just rinse off in the
river as you come back in! Surfers and boogie
boarders will love it.
There are other good breaks within walking distance
and a 10-minute drive brings you to another excellent
break. Here you have to walk down a steep hill
to the ocean.
There is a boat for hire that will take you out
to the many excellent breaks on the offshore islands
or along the coast. We never book more than 10
surfers at one time and with our many available
breaks you will never be dealing with a crowd.
Caves/Hiking/Bird watching/Canoeing/Bicycling
Besides
just enjoying the beach and river there are lots
of other things to do. Visitors come from around
the world to enjoy our excellent Bird Watching.
There are several interesting caves near by to
be explored. For hikers the possibilities are
endless. Most visitors really enjoy the short
walk up to the cave where the river comes out
after running under ground from the Lelet Plateau.
Fresh water comes out in many places making for
very interesting geography. At Pam there is a
beautiful waterfall very near the road. Because
the Boluminski Highway never has any very steep
sections, it is perfect for bicycles. It is a
wonderful way to really see the county side. You
can ride from town and then be driven back. During
the off-season for surf, it is great fun to explore
the coast in a canoe or kayak.
Cultural
Every week a Mumu (a traditional earth oven)
meal is prepared. Guests are invited to help prepare
the traditional food, if they would like.
A trip by boat can be arranged to visit the world
famous Malangan carvers on Tabar Island.
Cultural tours to other locations can also be
arranged.
