Deidei Hot Springs

Deidei Hot Springs near Madang on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea emerges from the volcanic terrain of one of the world's most geologically active islands, where the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates meet in continuous upheaval. The bicarbonate mineral springs emerge at moderate temperatures, warm enough for comfortable bathing, and are surrounded by the extraordinary primary rainforests of PNG's Madang province — forests of global biodiversity importance. The local Austronesian communities have used these springs for generations, and visiting them offers a rare opportunity to experience geothermal wellness within one of the least-touristed and most biologically diverse landscapes on the planet. The Madang coastline and its coral reefs add further dimensions to this remote island adventure.
