holiday; a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a
tropical paradise. But faced with the reality of a zombie
apocalypse, there is only one thing left to do: Survive. This is
Dead Island a paradise to die for. The Island of Banoi: If you've
been dreaming about paradise, we know a place where you can make
those dreams come true. The Island of Banoi. Just off the coast
of Papua New Guinea, located South of the Equator and just north
of Australia. Until very recently much of the island was wild and
primitive and totally untouched by the modern world. Even though
the capital, Moresby, was founded by Australian settlers in 1895,
many places deep in the interior still have never been seen by
western eyes. Banoi's lush tropical beauty offers many natural
wonders: from verdant rain forests to ain highlands to
virginal white sand beaches. Take a diving tour and experience
the wonder of coral reefs teaming with life. Hike the ain
highlands or explore Banoi's extensive network of mysterious
caves. Along the way you will encounter all manner of rare birds,
butterflies, fish, reptiles, and mammals, including the great
apes of the Banoi highlands. It's a sportsman's paradise with
world-class rock climbing, fishing, hunting, sailing, and
kayaking. Or if that sounds too taxing, find yourself a private
beach, splash in the waves and soak up the sun. Meet the friendly
people of Banoi. They are proud of their rich cultural heritage.
The indigenous art is world renowned and unbelievably varied,
reflecting the many local tribes with their own myths, legends
and language. Come see what Heaven on Earth looks like. Come to
beautiful Banoi. The pearl in the necklace of the Oceania
Archipelago.
