Holidays to Papua New Guinea
A land that is bound to intrigue, excite and astound in equal measure, Papua New Guinea has always been surrounded by myths and superlatives and, for those with an adventurous spirit, a genuinely different experience awaits. Your Papua New Guinea holiday ingredients range from highland tribal festivals with painted warriors, crocodile watching along the Sepik River, stunning birds of paradise, fabulous landscapes, dive sites that are amongst the best in the world, peaceful beach resorts, fascinating WW2 history, serious trekking, and a colourful and friendly population that offer a true South Pacific welcome to everyone making the long journey to
these exciting islands.
The journey to Papua New Guinea is a long one and so the destination combines well with a stopover in Singapore, Hong Kong or Manila. Get in touch to let us plan your PNG adventure and we’ll create the very definition of a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience.
First and foremost, we are a small company and plan to keep it that way. 21 years ago, in 1994, we (Ian Green and Fiona Dunbar) started Greentours, from the back bedroom of our flat in Norfolk, where we had both been at University studying Ecology, with one computer and a new fangled phone/fax machine. We still have customers travelling with us who came with us on in our first year, or indeed on our first tour!
Ian, who had already been leading and organising wildlife tours for other companies, noticed a yearning on the part of many of his customers. Those on birding holidays rather wanted to stop and look at the butterflies and flowers that were being passed by, and customers on butterfly trips were covertly sneaking looks at bird books, floras, and even the odd tome on reptiles… Sometimes, there would even be couples with different areas of wildlife interest! Again guided by the desires of our customers, we have more recently started offering our popular photography, wildlife at leisure and Alpine Garden Society tours.

DIAMIR is one of the leading tour operators for adventure travel in German-speaking countries. The DIAMIR story began with the idea of creating German-speaking guided nature and culture tours in small groups of no more than twelve participants, enabling responsible travel to the most beautiful regions of the world.

ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrival.
Flight to Singapore.
Air Niugini Fokker 70
Day 2: Singapore – Port Moresby
Arrival in the Lion City of Singapore, from where you will fly on to Port Moresby.
Day
3: Port Moresby – Goroka (1x/B/L/D)
Early morning arrival in the country’s capital: Port Moresby. This is the country’s commercial center and, accordingly, offers a somewhat idiosyncratic mix of dusty glass facades, numerous opportunists, and typical urban traffic chaos. For these reasons, you will continue directly on a connecting flight to your first destination: Goroka. There will be time to recover from your journey or take a first excursion into the city. Overnight stay at a hotel.
Young Mudman in front of the Sing-Sing.
Day 4: Goroka 1×(B/L/D)
You will explore the area around Goroka. Enjoy the pleasant highland climate and the scenery of a town that is difficult to compare to those of our own. After visiting a coffee roastery, a first cultural highlight awaits you – the village of the Asaro, the “clay people.” But this is just a taste of the cultural explosion that awaits you in the coming days. Overnight stay as on the previous day. (Travel time approx. 2 hours).
Impressions of the Kutubu Festival,
Days 5-6: Goroka Festival (2 breakfasts)
Experience the unique Goroka Festival, a gathering of highland people like no other. Immerse yourself in a vibrant festival with over 2,000 participants, traditional dances, breathtaking combat games, and evocative songs. The festival grounds vibrate as hundreds of colorfully adorned warriors move simultaneously to the rhythm of the drums. The legendary traditions of New Guinea come alive here. At the same time, the diverse costumes made of bird-of-paradise feathers, pig ribs, and shell necklaces offer countless photo opportunities. The Goroka Show, featuring approximately 120 ethnic groups, tribes, and clans, is considered the largest “Sing Sing” in Papua New Guinea. Two nights in a hotel.
Highland Road
Day 7: Goroka – Simbu 1×(B/L/D)
Drive to Simbu Province. The drive offers beautiful views of the mountain ranges of the central highlands. You will travel to the village of Kagai and have time for a walk in the afternoon. Overnight stay in a simple guesthouse. (Driving time approx. 4 hours).
Fields in the Highlands
, Day 8: Simbu – Kagai 1×(B/L/D)
You will spend the day in the village and visit the school, among other things. The day will give you a good insight into the simple life of people in large parts of New Guinea. Today you will also enjoy a meal cooked in a “mumu” – a feast prepared in the earth oven typical of the Pacific region. Overnight stay in a homestay.
Orchid
Day 9: Kagai – Kumul 1×(B/L/D)
A pleasant drive through the picturesque highland landscape awaits you, leading to Kumul Lodge near Mt. Hagen. Arrival in the afternoon. The lodge, beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings, is an ideal location for birdwatching. The bird-of-paradise family is native to the Moluccas, northern Australia, and especially the island of New Guinea. These birds, adorned with striking plumage, are not only interesting for bird enthusiasts. Their feathers also play an important role as ornaments in the lives of the Papuan people. (Driving time approx. 5 hours).
Public Transport and Potholes
Day 10: Kumul – Daga 1×(B/L/D)
The overland journey continues to Daga, where the Kutubu Festival, the second festival of the trip, takes place. Overnight stay in a guesthouse. (Travel time approx. 6 hours).
Impressions of the Kutubu Festival,
Days 11–13: Kutubu Festival (3x B/L/D)
The Kutubu Festival lasts three days. Unlike Goroka, Kutubu is still relatively untouched by tourism. The long journeys of the last few days are well worth it. Here you can see the fearsome highland warriors of the Huli people, as well as the dancers of the Kaluli and Foe tribes. In Kutubu, everything is a bit smaller, wilder, and perhaps more adventurous than expected. In addition to visiting the festival grounds, short excursions into the surrounding area are also on the agenda. If time allows, you will visit Lake Kutubu – the largest freshwater lake in Papua New Guinea. Three nights in a guesthouse.
Market in Mt. Hagen.
Day 14: Daga – Mount Hagen 1×(B/L/D)
With all the impressions of the past few days, you begin your journey back to civilization. Mount Hagen is considered the center of the highlands. However, after the primal and powerful experiences of the past few days, you may initially feel a bit out of place in the city. But don’t worry, the very next day you will venture into a more remote region of New Guinea. Overnight stay in a hotel. (Travel time approx. 6 hours).
Village in the Sepik River,
Day 15: Mount Hagen – Wewak – Sepik Plain 1×(B/L/D)
Early morning flight to Wewak. The vast Sepik Plain awaits you. Dugout canoes and motorized kayaks are the main means of transport in the region and represent the only possible access to modern civilization, towns, and markets for many villages. Due to high fuel costs, however, river transport is limited to larger shared taxis and traders, so a large part of the Sepik population continues to live a very natural and traditional life. You will travel upstream in a motorized kayak to the village of Kanganamun, where, with a bit of luck, you will encounter members of the famous Crocodile Men. Adorned with a crocodile-shaped scar pattern, these Papuans are highly respected members of society and symbolize the special relationship of the river dwellers to the spirit world of the Sepik. Overnight stay in the village in a simple hut. (Travel time approx. 4 hours, motorized kayak approx. 2 hours).
Sunset in the Sepik Plain
. Day 16: Sepik Plain 1×(B/L/D)
The day is dedicated to exploring life along the Sepik River. Perhaps you will learn from the villagers about the extraction of sago palm starch and about fishing in the river. You will attend artistic dance performances in the region’s villages. Intricate carvings, elaborate body adornments, and magnificent spirit houses accompany you on your journey through the branching labyrinth of the river’s tributaries. As the sun dips behind the Prince Alexander Mountains in the evening, gray wisps of smoke rise from the green canopy of the primeval forest, and hornbills fill the evening with their deep cries, you will realize how far you have come from the world as we know it. Overnight stay as on the previous day.
Art of the Sepik,
Day 17: Sepik Plain – Wewak – Port Moresby 1×(B/L/D)
Today you leave the green, wild paradise of the Sepik by boat and travel back to Wewak. Flight to Port Moresby. Overnight stay in a hotel. (Travel time approx. 3 hours).
Tree Kangaroos
Day 18: Port Moresby 1×B
The morning is at your leisure. An optional visit to the nature park offers a fascinating glimpse into the fauna of New Guinea. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Singapore by Night
, Day 19: Port Moresby – Singapore (1x breakfast)
The morning is at your leisure. In the afternoon, transfer to the airport and flight to Singapore. Arrival in the evening and onward flight from Singapore to Germany. If you are interested, we can arrange a stopover in Singapore for you.
Day 20: Arrival
in Germany.

Jacada was founded in 2008 by Alex Malcolm, who wanted to show people the side of a country that not everyone gets to see. While working in Brazil, he was lucky enough to travel the country with local friends who took him to places and shared things he would never have experienced on his own. He felt there was a space to create these unique travel experiences with a personal, human touch for others – and flew back to the UK to start his own company. Though we started out just selling trips to Brazil, Jacada has now grown into an international travel company, selling trips around the world; and despite our growth, Alex’s vision still remains. Personal is how we began, and that’s how we continue to be.
Jacada travel provides three tour packages to Papua New Guinea;
Wexas Travel was established by current chairman Dr Ian Wilson in 1970, and, over the past five decades, has grown from a small, independent operator, to one of the UK’s most respected travel companies, endorsed by such honorary presidents as Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Kate Adie, John Simpson and Michael Palin.
During that time, Wexas has moved on from its humble beginnings supporting student and explorer expeditions to, in the 1980s and 1990s, being one of the top-10 sellers of airline tickets in the UK, and becoming the country’s leading membership club for luxury travellers. Indeed, Wexas’ continued success has been its ability to adapt to the needs of its clients, from the introduction of annual multi-trip travel insurance in 1982 – Wexas was among the first travel companies to offer this service – to the opening of a still-flourishing corporate division, Wexas Travel Management, and the 2007 launch of White Star Cruises, now rebranded as The Luxury Cruise Company. Further additions to the Wexas portfolio include the acquisition of Best Served Scandinavia in 2010, which has since grown to become the UK’s second-largest tour operator specialising in Scandinavia and the Nordics.
It’s a great source of pride that, to this day, Wexas remains a privately owned, family business. It’s a fact that enables us to put you, our customer, at the heart of everything we do.
