Address:
Papua New GuineaThe Ninigo Islands is a group of thirty-one islands lying 140 nautical miles north-east of Vanimo on mainland Papua New Guinea. Since time can remember people have commuted between the scattered islands using outrigger canoes. Each year during the SE Trade wind season, competitive canoe races are held with many of the islands taking part.
In 2000 the first Great Ninigo Islands Canoe Race took place in which all islands were invited to compete. Following the COVID pandemic, the race was again held in August 2023.
See ‘The Great Ninigo Islands Canoe Race’ Facebook page which was created by John Stokes who spent time in the Ninigo Islands as a child and is a supporter of keeping these great traditional races going.
