Extra Travel Tips

Papua New Guinea is a land of striking contrasts—remote villages, bustling cities, and over 800 languages. While cards are accepted in major hotels and urban centers, cash is essential for local markets, transport, and rural communities where digital payments are rare.

  • Mix Cash & Card
    Papua New Guinea is card-friendly in cities like Port Moresby, Lae, and Kokopo, but shops, open-air markets, and village communities often prefer cash—especially coins and small notes for everyday purchases like snacks, bus fares, or local crafts.
  • Use PGK, Not AUD
    Always pay in Papua New Guinean Kina (PGK) to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. AUD may be refused or converted unfavorably, especially outside major hotels and airports.
  • Watch ATM Fees
    Some foreign cards incur withdrawal charges or offer poor exchange rates. For better transparency, use bank-affiliated ATMs such as BSP or ANZ.
  • Leftover Kina After Your Trip?
    Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused PGK—simple, secure, and great value. Skip the airport hassle and reclaim your leftover travel funds with ease.
