Where is Nissan Island/Green Island?

The Green Islands which includes Nissan Island is a small archipelago of islands in the Solomon Sea, within the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, in north eastern Papua New Guinea. They are situated about 200km northwest of Bougainville Island and about 200kms east of Rabaul and New Britain Island and make an excellent stopping point if travelling “over the top” of New Ireland, to or from Kavieng.

Nissan Island Cruiser Highlights

This is a very remote location. The people here live very basic lives in relation to western lifestyles. Their houses are made out of the wood from the rain forest and they don’t have any power or solar panels or any form of technology.  However, you will receive an incredibly warm welcome from the villagers who are happy to trade seafood including lobster as well fresh fruits and vegetables.
