Brett is a first class guide, sharing his knowledge and passion for the area. It is a great way to explore the tablelands and benefit from local knowledge of the best places to go. Great group of fellow travellers also helped and we had enormous fun and didn't let the rainy weather dampen our spirits. Highly recommended!

Just got back from a week in PNG. I got to know No Limit Advenatures last year on a trip through Australia and Konrad was fantasic and when chatting about other vacation spots he kept referencing PNG. I'd never even considered it but so glad he brought it up for diving. I specifically got certified for PNG and could not have been happier I did. The island is amazing, the food is spectacular, the dive guides are extraordinary, just overall an epic trip. The best part is that you don't run into anyone else on the island, no competition in the water for dive locations or surf spots, you're so isolated and it's only you & your group. I can't recommend No Limit Adventures enough!
