Excursion Deidei hot springs tour at Fergusson

Discover Deidei, the southern tip of Ferguson that was once an active volcanic area. While these days there are no actual volcanic eruption or lava flow in living memory in the area, the area is still active as far as underground thermal activities are concerned.

The hot springs in an area near the village where the super-heated water comes to surface in ponds and geysers. Walk to the geysers and explore this thermal activity for yourself.

For those not keen on the walk to the geysers, there is the option of an easier visit to the Budoya Catholic Mission Station. This is one of the oldest churches that was set up in the southern part of Papua New Guinea and has its own interesting history. If there is time and interest, visit the nearby primary school that is run by the Catholic church.

Return to the ship via Zodiac.
