Vanimo, the vibrant capital of Sandaun Province (formerly West Sepik) in the northwesternmost region of Papua New Guinea, holds a prominent position as the heart of the Vanimo-Green River District. Situated on a peninsula near the border with Indonesia, it is closest to Jayapura, the capital city of Papua (province).

As the capital of West Sepik province, Vanimo serves as a crucial gateway for overland travel between Papua New Guinea and the neighboring Indonesian province of Papua. The town, home to approximately 11,200 residents, boasts an economy centered around the timber industry. The major employer in the area is Vanimo Forest Products, a logging company owned by Malaysian company Rimbunan Hijau. Vanimo is also equipped with Vanimo Airport, facilitating convenient air travel connections.

Vanimo experiences a tropical rainforest climate, characterized by consistently warm to hot and wet weather throughout the year. The region receives an average annual rainfall of 2,601 mm (102 in), sustaining its lush greenery and vibrant ecosystem.

Renowned as a popular surfing destination, Vanimo has earned a reputation for offering the most consistent waves in Papua New Guinea. The surfing season typically spans from mid-October to late April, attracting enthusiasts from around the world.

Furthermore, Vanimo serves as a convenient destination for foreign workers in Papua/Indonesia who need to renew their visas. They can visit the Indonesian consulate, stay in one of the hotels along the “sandaun-road” for a day, and return to the border within 24 hours. The Boardriders’ club at Lido Village gained recognition through a report on Australia’s Dateline current affairs program.

Sandaun Province, previously known as West Sepik Province, encompasses the northwesternmost mainland region of Papua New Guinea. Spanning an area of 35,920 km2 (13,868 m2), it is home to a population of 248,411 individuals, as recorded in the 2011 census. Vanimo proudly serves as its capital city. In July 1998, the town of Aitape and its surrounding area suffered the devastating impact of a massive tsunami triggered by a Magnitude 7.0 earthquake, resulting in the loss of over 2,000 lives.
