The climb up the volcano is steep and shouldn't take long if you're equipped with the right gear. Such a splendid view from the top also. Of course the smell of sulphur us thick is the atmosphere but if you aren't that queasy than the climb should be a walk in the park. Remember to bring enough water and a good camera to capture the moment. P.S: Locals have a market set up below, they sell fresh "Kulau" (young coconut water, still in the coconut!). Great to quench ones thirst. Enjoy

Warm, but pleasant. Amazing sites.

This is a great area to visit and rest up esp. If you are cruising.

Once and it is still the dragon of the Pacific. Often asleep most times but when it wakes up, its smokin' nostrils spews ash, dust, mud and rocks to about 5kms up high into the sky. Its thunder like sound so deafening that it can smash window louver glasses at times. A volcanic mountain that buried its beautiful home town of Rabaul, the jewel of the pacific in 1994 eruption with the help of its twin called the 'Vulcan' on the other side of the harbour. 'Tavurvur' in the local Kuanua Language meaning 'Nest of hornets/bees.' The Barike Land now has become ashes instead. Let you tourists and visitors come and see this dragon, climb up into its Crater if you dare and see and experience for yourself. Also see the hot springs before you reach the mountain.

The experience was breathtaking. It's like walking next to the head of a gigantic monster while he's asleep.

Holy Smokin, Toledo's 😁

Been toTavurvur many Many times

Must see when visiting Kokopo
