Manus Province

Manus Province is a region in the Pacific made up of multiple islands in the Bismarck Archipelago. The territory combines land areas with extensive waters full of reefs and marine life.

The region served as a major military base in the Pacific during World War II. After the war, it developed into an independent administrative area.

The people here have deep connections to the sea, with fishing and boat-building traditions passed down through families for generations. You can see this in daily life as boats line the shores and skilled craftspeople continue these practices.

The easiest way to travel here is by airplane from the mainland, with the airport near the main town. You should prepare for tropical weather and limited facilities outside main settlements.

The seafloor holds evidence of the Pacific War with numerous sunken ships lying in these waters. These wrecks are now sites for research and draw interest from history enthusiasts.
