Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey in Lae, the largest city in Morobe Province. Head southeast on the Papua New Guinea Highway (also known as the Lae-Highway) towards the town of Nadzab. Continue on this road for approximately 20 kilometers until you reach the junction at Nadzab Airport. Turn left onto the Unnamed Road and follow the signs towards Sipaia. The destination should be around 10 kilometers down this road. Make sure to keep an eye on your GPS as the road can be winding and may not be well marked.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can catch a bus from Lae to Nadzab. The bus terminal is located near the city center. Look for buses that are heading towards Nadzab or the nearby villages. The fare should be around PGK 10-15. Once you arrive at Nadzab, you will need to hire a taxi or arrange for a local transport service to take you to Sipaia. Expect to pay an additional fare of about PGK 20-30 for the taxi ride.
Motorbike or Bicycle
For the more adventurous travelers, renting a motorbike or bicycle in Lae is an option. Head out of Lae on the Papua New Guinea Highway, following the same route as cars. This way, you can enjoy the scenic views along the Unnamed Road. Ensure you have a proper map or GPS on hand as navigation might be challenging.
