Hela Province

TREK THROUGH SCENIC MOUNTAINSCAPES, MEET PAPUA NEW GUINEA’S CULTURAL ICONS, AND CHECK OFF ANOTHER BIRDWATCHING DESTINATION ON YOUR TRIP TO HELA.

MUST SEE

  • Take a selfie for Instagram with a Huli Wigman
  • Raft down the white-waters of the Tagari River
  • Watch the rarest of birds in their natural habitat from Ambua Lodge

HOW TO GET THERE
