Car Hire in Tokua Airport - Mini guide to Tokua Airport

Tokua Airport, also known as Rabaul airport, is a small domestic terminal located which serves the cities of Kokopo and Rabaul in Papua New Guinea’s province of East New Britain. The airport is located inland between the two cities at the foot of Rabaul Caldera, an active volcano.

From the airport, the coastal cities of Rabaul and Kokopo are an hour’s drive. Car hire can be arranged from the airport which will allow you to reach your hotel in air-conditioned comfort and safety.

Outside of PGN’s capital, Port Moresby, public transportation and taxis are rare. Those who wish to travel in this remote region independently are strongly encouraged to use car hire for their transport needs in the region.

Tokua airport, as well as the towns of Kokopo and Rabaul, is located within the close vicinity of a number of active volcanoes, including Tauvurvur and Vulcan. With so much volcanic activity, it is little surprise that this area is known for its destruction and re-birth.

Following devastation in 1994, the former provincial capital, Rabaul, was rebuilt and is larger and better equipped than ever before for visitors. However, it is not only the structures that have been re-born; volcanic ash has left this area with rich soil that feeds a lush, green landscape. This stunning scenery can be viewed with ease in your car hire vehicle.

The cities of Rabaul and Kokopo, as well as the surrounding areas, were occupied during the WWII by Japanese forces. A number of war memorials, allied troop cemeteries, bunkers and Japanese vessels can be found while driving through the area in your car hire.

Those preferring golf bunkers can play a round at nearby Ralum Golf Course in Kokopo. Overlooking Simpson Harbour, the course runs alongside the former home of Queen Emma, Gunatambu Mansion.
