Cruises from D' Entrecasteaux Islands
The D'Entrecasteaux Islands in Milne Bay are situated as close as 30 km NE off the eastern tip of New Guinea in the Solomon Sea. The island group consists of three large islands – Goodenough, Fergusson and Normanby – framed by some of the most steeply-sided cliffs in the world. There are also smaller islands and numerous reefs, shoals and atolls. The islands are volcanically active, extremely mountainous, covered by dense jungle and contain a number of active geothermal fields. Read more
The highest peak in the group is the 2536m Mount Vineuo on Goodenough Island.
