Tufi was a pleasant weekend break from Moresby. I went over Easter and, unsurprisingly, the resort was full. I did a day of diving which was fantastic - turtles, sharks (of the friendly variety), dolphins on the ride out and fish fish everywhere. The food was average - good. I don't eat seafood which worked against me a fair but,... More

We were looking for a weekend away from Port Moresby and chose Tufi based on photos from the website. We don't dive, but love to swim and snorkle. The staff were lovely, but the rooms are very tired, linen is threadbare and the bathrooms need some basic maintenance. The meals were quite good, but there was a fair bit of... More

I stayed in Tufi in October 2010. The flight in was breathtaking - I loved the tiny plane and runway, then being met in the jeep to be driven only a few hundred yards to the hotel through the pretty little village. Set on a stunning headland above the tropical fjords - I had never seen anything like it before.... More

From landing to takeoff the holiday was perfect. The entire staff, Sue the manager, Glen the activities organizer, all the dive guides, restaurant staff and chef were fantastic. The locals in nearby villages were all very warm and friendly, the bad reputation for safety in PNG doesn't apply in Tufi. The diving around Tufi is spectacular, in particular the night... More

We stepped down onto the runway and were met by Shaun the manager. With another 8 guests disembarking, he surprised us by greeting each of us by name and we just knew that we were in for something special. We were not disappointed. It turns out that Shaun had only been managing the resort for two months and yet judging... More

The bungalows in Tufi are mostly not stand-alone. They have adjoining walls with other units. The standard bungalows are dark inside, with PVC floorings that are torn. The deluxe bungalows are not all the same. Some are bigger than others and some have private balconies and some have hammocks. Make sure you check with the management which one you are... More

Summary: Tufi Dive Resort is a small 'boutique' resort located in the Oro Province of Papua New Guinea. The location is beautiful and the diving, snorkelling and kayaking are excellent. The resort staff and locals are very welcoming and friendly. The on-site manager Matt is always cheery, enthusiastic and helpful. Accommodation is somewhat basic. Meals are good. Arriving at Tufi:...

My husband and I traveled to PNG on our honeymoon and spent the first half touring the incredible culture and nature of the Highlands. We initially came to PNG for the culture and were going to go to a different Pacific island for the "honeymoon" experience but last minute we chose to spend at Tufi instead. It was the best... More

We have just spent a week at Tufi and it was a faultless, wonderful experience. From flying in over the mountains to the gravel airstrip perched on the headland to departing 8 days later looking out o the windows over Cape Nelson and mount Trafalgar, we had a marvelous time. Beautiful rooms, great attention to detail, super staff who remembered... More
