Papua New Guinea Tours & Trips
Picture yourself in the National Museum, lost in the tales of long-ago tribes. Now, envision the Melpa, their sing-sings a riot of color and energy, as dancers, their heads adorned with intricate headdresses, ready themselves with face paint. Then, there's the Asaro Mudmen of Goroka, their faces hidden behind gray clay masks. And don't forget the Bismarck Sea, where you can snorkel among the vibrant coral reefs. Papua New Guinea is waiting to be explored.

Papua New Guinea Highlands Tribes Tour and Goroka Festival - R
Rodrigo • traveled in July
The guides in Rabaul were utterly kind and helpful, a bit late but I reckon that's due to their local culture. Also, I would have appreciated some help from the organiser in Port Moresby airport to take the domestic flight to Rabaul. Anyway, I had a very good time in the mask festival and in Papua New Guinea with the fantastic people I met over there. Buena tuna! (Thank you in Tolai language).
