Baluan Island is the southern most island of the Admiralty Islands group which make up the majority of Manus Province in Papua New Guinea. It is formed from an extinct volcano. Baluan is a beautiful island with many adventures even though it's small. From the beaches to the top where you can see the crator of the volcano.
The main foods on the island are fish and vegetables grown on the perfect growing volcanic soil.
The most famous Baluan person was Sir Paliau Moloat (1893-1991), who was elected as the First National Member of Assembly for Manus Province in 1964. He died in 1991 and is buried on Baluan.
