Tufi Resort is a place that makes the outside world and all its daily stress seem a million miles away. The Resort is perched on an amazing, cliff-top terrace overlooking Tufi Harbour and with 180º panoramic views of the sea, fjords and mountains. Tufi, located in Oro Province and only 80 miles east of Kokoda, is a stress-free environment where the locals are warm and friendly. A place where you can be left alone or mix with guests and villagers. A place where you can relax, recharge and feel totally invigorated.

At the Resort all creature comforts are available in the en suite rooms, including air-conditioning, bar fridge, coffee and tea making facilities. Most bungalows have verandas overlooking the Coral Sea or Tufi fjord. Single rooms with single beds, fans, and shared bathroom facilities are also available to accommodate the budget or backpacker market.

Dine on a smorgasbord of local seafood, vegetables and tropical fruits in the resort dining room or enjoy a BBQ grill on the Fjord Terrace accompanied by a wide selection of wines and ice-cold beer.

Dive the fjords, experience the unique macro world and check out the WW2 PT boat wrecks. Day or night, a wide variety of gobie, nudibranch, mandarin fish, ghost pipe fish, pygmy seahorse and a plethora of other fascinating creatures can be found. Because there is very little current movement in the fjords, many sponges and coral species grow prolifically and there are some very large sponges and shelf corals that are not common on the outer reefs. Another specialty charter dive is the famous Dutch cargo ship the "S Jacob" or Blackjack - an intact B17 bomber.

Spectacular marine life is in abundance: schooling barracuda and reef fish, hammerheads, reef sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, grouper and cruising pelagic as well as soft and hard corals. A pristine environment unspoiled that’s ideal for macro photography.
A few (5-10) nautical miles offshore lies a string of reefs - ‘bommies’ that come up from a staggering depth of up to 600 m to a nice safety-stop level of 7-5 m below the surface.  The majority of reefs in the region remain unexplored and it will be some time before the full diversity of the Tufi reefs is known. The resort focuses on reef and muck diving and all diving is carried out under the guidance of PADI dive professionals.

The resort is well appointed with dive boats. Crystal at 30 foot is spacious and has comfortable seating. The boat features a shower and toilet facility and is well equipped with all safety features. A cruise speed of 20 knots provides divers less time travelling and more time underwater.

Apart from diving, Tufi Dive Resort offers a lengthy guided bushwalk to an adjoining fjord, for the magnificent views of Cape Nelson and the peaks of Mt. Trafalgar. For the naturalists, experience the largest butterfly in the world, the Queen Alexandra`s bird-wing. Enjoy a leisurely swim or a stroll down a sandy beach five minutes from your room door. Kayak the fjords and experience the magnificent waterfalls that cascade from the cliff tops. Tufi Dive Resort is a great find!
