Madang vs Kavieng vs Rabaul

[ChilliNZ]

Hi guys
Keeping it short and sweet..
Where would you go and why?
I am doing a backpacking trip next year and will be doing PNG/Indo/Pines/Palau (hopefully.)
So which of the three? (If this helps) Afterwards my girlfriend and I are going to Raja Ampat, Komodo NP, Anilao and well, Palau if the funds persist.
Cheers
Adam

Have only been to Rabaul of the three, but from a dive standpoint you are really missing out if you don't take in Milne Bay.

Dived Madang back in 2004 ... it was good but not as good as i was expecting ... a lot of dead coral and not a great deal of fish. Have not dived the other two places, but agree that Milne Bay was amazing (dived at Tawali)
