Book Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, direct.

BukNau is a free booking site for local stays, tours, hire cars and transfers. Travellers see real prices, book in minutes, and pay the operator directly by bank transfer.

For operators: your business, bookable in one link

No software to install, no card machine, and free while we are in beta.

  • Free to list

    Put your rooms, tours, cars, transfers or boats on BukNau at no cost while we are in beta.

  • Paid straight to your bank

    Travellers pay you by bank transfer, into your own account. BukNau never touches the money.

  • One link on WhatsApp

    When someone calls or messages, send your booking link. They pick the dates and book themselves.

  • Nothing to type up

    Your prices and dates are live, and the invoice is written for you, in kina or Solomon dollars. It all runs from your phone.

  1. List what you sell

    Your prices, photos and the dates you are open.

  2. Share your link

    On WhatsApp, Facebook or by text, whenever someone asks.

  3. The money lands, you confirm

    The traveller transfers to your bank. You check it arrived, and the booking is Confirmed.

For travellers: book the people who run it

  • Real prices, book now

    See what a stay, tour or transfer actually costs, and book it in minutes. No enquiry and wait.

  • Pay the operator directly

    By bank transfer, to the business itself, using the details on your booking page.

  • A person to talk to

    Questions before or after you book? A real person replies, usually within a working day.

Why you can trust it

Your money goes straight to the operator

  • Built for Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Everything works the same in Port Moresby and Honiara.
  • Bank details only ever appear on your booking page, never by email or chat.
  • A booking says Confirmed only when the operator has seen your money arrive.
  • BukNau is run by BukNau Holdings Limited.
