Excursion Hiking up the mother tour at Rabaul

Papua New Guinea is a very-low-income country with very basic infrastructure, and vastly different to the western culture mentality. Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, hotels, restaurants, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. We thank you for your understanding.

Hike Mount Mother, a dormant volcano just outside of the Rabaul town boundaries and at 700 meters, the highest peak in Rabaul. This is an adventure for the physically fit or more experienced hikers.

Depart the pier for the short drive to the base of Mt. Mother, also known as Mount Kabiu. Here, meet your local guides and commence your adventure. Guides will help with carrying any extra equipment like bags or camera tripods. The climb can take up to an hour with breaks and stops along the way to enjoy beautiful surroundings and take pictures. Once on the top, enjoy magnificent views of 380 degrees, including Rabaul, its bay and the asset Tavurvur.

The tour concludes back at the pier.
