Walindi Plantation Resort is an intimate dive resort catering to a maximum of 29 guests. Being just a 45-minute drive from Hoskins Airport in West New Britain, it is a quick and easy trip. Walindi can be reached from Port Moresby first by plane to Hoskins, and then by car (1 hour).
The hotel is surrounded by tropical rainforest and opens out to the Kimbe Bay, known for its diving sites. The surrounding diving sites, which can be reached in less than an hour, are especially attractive. Walindi is therefore considered as a grade one destination for scuba diving.
Underwater, Kimbe Bay supports an incredibly diverse marine habitat. World famous dives sites like Ema, South Bay, Inglis Shoal, North Ema, Christine’s, Susan’s, and Restorff Island are only a few of the more than 200 reefs and dive sites sprinkled throughout Kimbe Bay. All are pristine and protected by a rigid policy of “Look but don’t touch.”
70% of all coral species in the Indo-Pacific region are found in Walindi’s waters. No other dive area in the world can boast such diversity. Walindi management policy is committed to supporting this unique ecology both below and above the water. To this end, the resort is supporting the establishment by the European Union of a Nature and Marine Research Centre within the resort grounds, which will continue to monitor and research all aspects of Kimbe Bay and West New Britain ecosystems.
