      We have availability on our November departure and would love to have you join us. If you would like to do some additional touring of Papua New Guinea we can absolutely help to arrange some experiences for you after the Festival. These arrangements are custom made to suit each traveller. Do you have any destinations or sights that you would like to explore while you are in Papua New Guinea? To answer your question regarding flights- yes, you can fly from Auckland directly into Port Moresby, and then take one of the connecting domestic flights to meet the tour in Alotau.
