Tami Islands, Papua New Guinea

The Tami Islands present the ideal image of the Pacific island, with white sand beaches, coconut palms, and coral lagoons that provide ample opportunities for diving and snorkeling among the marine life of the atolls. The islands are most famous for the Tami-style of wood carving, which is displayed in the form of massive wooden idols and more portable wooden bowls.
