Getting to Kerevat sounds like an adventure - what's the best way to reach the course, and what should I prepare for?

You'll typically fly into Rabaul or Kokopo, then arrange a local transfer to Kerevat, which is a journey in itself. We recommend pre-booking your transport; local roads can be rugged, so embrace the scenic drive through lush landscapes. Don't expect a quick hop-off-the-plane-and-onto-the-tee experience.
