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.

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).

I recently completed the Kokoda Trek with No Roads Expeditions and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the outset, their professionalism, excellent communication, and thorough pre-trip planning gave us complete confidence. We had originally been booked with another tour operator who loudly claimed to be the best, but they let us down with little to no communication and ultimately cancelled our trip just weeks before departure. Thankfully, we found No Roads — and they were absolutely outstanding. A huge thank you to Peter and Chris, who were always available and quick to respond to any questions. Their support and flexibility made all the difference in getting us back on track. Our trek was led by Andrew, who was not only a great guide but also quite the historian — his knowledge really brought the significance of the trail to life. And the Papuan crew, both in Port Moresby and especially those who trekked with us, were simply wonderful humans. Their kindness, tireless work ethic, and care were deeply appreciated. They kept us safe, well fed, and supported us every step of the way — which was no small feat, given how physically demanding and technically challenging the terrain is. On Kokoda, you quite literally need to concentrate on every step, and they helped us manage it with strength and grace. If you’re considering the Kokoda Track or any other adventure, I can’t recommend No Roads Expeditions highly enough.
