Public Transport
From Lae city center, head to the nearest bus station. Look for buses heading towards Bulolo or nearby areas. The fare is usually affordable, and the journey takes about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic. Inform the driver that you want to get off at the stop closest to McAdam National Park, which is located near PJMH+2HW in Bulolo Morobe Province. Keep an eye out for landmarks or ask locals if you are unsure when to disembark.
Walking
Once you have been dropped off near the park's entrance, you will need to walk to reach McAdam National Park. Follow the signs or local directions that lead towards the park, which is approximately a 15-30 minute walk from the bus stop. The path is generally well-trodden, but it’s advisable to ask locals for the best route, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area.
Bicycle Rental
