While the climate is generally warm year-round, July and August are slightly cooler. If you plan to venture into the mountains during your Papa New Guinea vacations, be prepared for chilly nights and bring a few warm layers and a rain jacket.

If your visit falls in mid-July, you'll have the exciting opportunity to join the Warwagira and Mask Festival on Kokopo Beach in East New Britain. This vibrant four-day festival celebrates the diverse mask cultures of the region, featuring lively dances, rituals, storytelling, and captivating art and craft displays. Make sure not to miss the breathtaking Kinavai Ceremony at dawn on the first day. or the Young Baining men perform thrilling fire dances and take part in daring feats that involve running and jumping barefoot through towering flames.
