Paradise Does Exist

Lissenung Island Resort is located about 15 minutes by boat out of Kavieng, on a small private island with coconut palms and a beautiful white sandy beach.

Think of your own Pacific hideaway with all the basic necessities provided for an enjoyable stay: Simple bungalows with airy verandahs and mosquito screened bedrooms. Dietmar and Ange manage the resort and give it a nice personal touch.

There is a 24 hour electricity supply, a full service dive shop, comfortable chairs on sandy floors in the central building where cold drinks and delicious meals await you, as well as an excellent marine reference library (okay - that's not absolutely necessary).

Accommodation is in basic but very comfortable bungalows.
The atmosphere here is very casual and relaxed. Often referred to as a typical "Somerset Maugham" South Pacific island setting, you are now right between two crystal clear oceans:

Dive Sites

At change of tides a lot of water is moving between the open Pacific and the Bismarck Sea. The only way through are the many channels between the islands to the north of Kavieng. This is the setting for some exciting current dives for experienced divers. These currents attract the variety of pelagic life that Kavieng has become famous for.
Albatross Passage (watch video on this website) is one of the most diverse dive sites and only 10 min by boat from Lissenung!

There are also sheltered reefs and, of course, a number of very accessible wrecks that can be dived. Some great muck diving is available also in close proximity to the island.

All year round you can extend your stay at Lissenung with a village guest house stay at remote Tsoi Lik Island. This is a truly unique experience. Apart from visiting dive sites that are seldomly seen (eg: Big Fish Reef, Turtle Reef ). You will get a much better idea about the reality and beauty of Pacific Island life.                  more details ...

Accommodation

There are three bungalow blocks, each bungalow has two private rooms. Six rooms have their own private facilities.
1 room has shared shower and toilet building which are just a short stroll away.

Although the water is not heated, the warm environment usually ensures that the water temperature is pleasant. Every room has ceiling fans, fly-screens and mosquito nets.

Dive Shop

Lissenung Island is a short boat ride away from Kavieng and has a fully qualified PADI dive base. Dietmar has been running the dive operation for many years and is an expert in picking the right dive spots at the right time. He also offers dive courses on Lissenung.

The resort's three dive boats are perfectly designed for diving. Each boat is equipped with a dive ladder, canopy for sun protection, equipment boxes, tank racks and a ladder. The dive boats will have you at any of the dive sites within 20 - 30 minutes.

The latest addition (November '08) is the larger dive boat "Andiamo" which is a 26 ft fibreglass boat with twin 140HP 4-stroke Suzuki outboard engine and can comfortably carry 10 divers, 2 dive guides and the driver.

There are also two smaller dive boats, "Raven" and "Carola".
"Raven" is a 24 ft fibreglass boat with a single 115HP 4-stroke outboard engine and can comfortably carry 6-8 divers. "Carola" is a 23 ft fibreglass boat with a single 75 HP outboard engine, ideal for 4 - 6 divers divers. A DAN oxygen unit for emergency situations is on board each boat and the dive staff are trained in its use.

Day trips for divers staying in other hotels in the Kavieng area are also available.

Last but not least there is a great bonus feature: Located just off the beach is a fantastic house reef. At least 175 different species of fish have been counted on our house reef, and that the list is not quite complete yet! You get free shore day-diving on Lissenung's house reef while staying at Lissenung Island Resort! Interesting for day (for free as many as you like before 6pm) as well as night dives (night dives are guided and will be charged locally).
