Papua New Guinea Sepik Adventure Tour - September

Check in to the Stanley Hotel, Port Moresby. Time permitting, we can arrange a trip to Port Moresby Nature Park or Port Moresby Adventure Park, Hanuabada Stilt Village, or Ela Beach Craft Market.

Arrive on Air Niugini or PNG Air from Port Moresby. Pick up from the airport and transfer to In Wewak Boutique Hotel. In the afternoon, we will go for a walk around Wewak. 

Depart Wewak by vehicle and travel over the Prince Alexander Ranges through Passam, Kubalia, Yangoru, Hayfield/Maprik, Wosera to reach Pagwi.  The Sepik River is a vast volume of water. It’s approximately 1200 km long, 10 to 12 meters deep and 100 to 200 meters wide in some area. Travelling into the tributaries of the Sepik River is a wonderful experience, passing typical Sepik villages. At high water a beautiful landscape of little islands and trees standing in the water is created against a backdrop of mountains, which connects to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. From Pagwi station you will travel to Kanganaman, to visit the Spirit House (Haus Tambaran) . Here there is a cluster of villages that have stood firm against the invasion of Christianity. They still have their Haus Tambarans and practice their ancient customs including the initiation and scarification of young “crocodile men”. The villages are also home to great artists and carvers and their sought-after birds’ head carvings. We then head down river to our base for two nights, Kamindimbit.
