Recommended Travel Adaptor for Papua New Guinea
We’ve looked at everything — safety, reliability, cost, functionality and how well they actually perform in practice — and this adaptor clearly stood out.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Papua New Guinea is often visited together with Australia and the Solomon Islands. It’s a good idea to confirm plug types — island and mainland setups may differ.
Sockets in Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea uses Type I plugs and sockets.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Papua New Guinea; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
It’s worth checking your device’s voltage rating first. A label showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means it’ll work abroad without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Packing smart means more than just choosing the right clothes. A luggage scale saves you from surprise charges, a power bank makes sure your devices last the day, and packing cubes keep everything tidy. They’re simple tools that take away a lot of the hassle.
