Getting There
-
Car
If you are driving from Lae, head north on the Highlands Highway (also known as the Morobe Highway) towards Nadzab Airport. Continue past the airport, and after about 30 minutes, you will reach the turnoff to Wampar Rural LLG. Follow the signs leading you towards the Wampar area. The roads may be rough, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Continue along the dirt roads until you reach the Pelè Waterfalls area. Look for local signs indicating the waterfalls; you may need to ask locals for guidance if the signs are unclear.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Pelè Waterfalls via public transport, start at Lae Central and find a bus heading towards Nadzab Airport. After about 30 minutes, get off at the Wampar turnoff. From there, you will need to hire a local taxi or arrange for a ride with locals, as public transport does not typically go directly to the waterfalls. Be prepared to negotiate the fare, which may range from PGK 20-50 depending on the distance and the driver.
-
Walking
Once you arrive at the Wampar area, if you do not have a vehicle, you may have to walk the last leg of the journey to Pelè Waterfalls. The walking route is approximately 3 kilometers from the main road. Follow local paths and signs to reach the waterfalls. It’s advisable to wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the terrain can be challenging. Ask locals for directions along the way to ensure you are on the right path.
