Does this trip line up with the Highlands tribes and goroka festival trip ending on Sept.22,2027? What is the price for this trip?

No it does not. That Sepik trip is not offered on Tour Radar. Only directly through Best of PNG.

I am exploring options and availability for a single lady interested in cultural experiences in PNG. Her preferences are: mountains/interior over beaches, though she's happy to include coastal areas. She would like to join a group but understands this might be tricky. Additional details: traveling alone but happy to share, 10–12 days duration, budget-conscious (not luxury).

The trip requires two people to operate. On 6th October, we don't have anyone else.

I am looking for a January 2026 date

January is in the rainy season, and we don't run group trips then as villages are often flooded.

Is Papua New Guinea safe at this time?

PNG is safe for tourists, and always has been. On the Global Peace Index it ranks higher than the USA and other popular destinations like Brazil, Turkey, and the Philippines to name a few. However, this trip requires a minimum of two people and no one else is booked at present. December is the start of the rainy season too, so not a great time to go to the Sepik and the Highlands. Oro Province would provide a good village hopping experience though, going along the north coast of Cape Nelson.

Will there be a tour in Sep. 2025?

Yes a September tour is planned from 22nd to 28th September, after the Goroka festival. It's on our main website.

do you have more tours to the Kokoda and Sepic river areas?

We can arrange a bespoke Sepik trip for your group, with more nights in the villages if you like. We also arrange bespoke travel all over the country, from the coast to Mt Wilhelm, the highest point of the country, and of course cover the Goroka Festival in the middle of September.

Would there be an opportunity to securely leave large luggage in Port Moresby and retrieve it after the tour? Also we would need lodging one extra day on arrival.

If i book you an extra night at the start in Port Moresby, you can leave it at the hotel and collect on the 26th.

If it wasn't safe, would I send clients? Would I go there myself? Would PNG Tourism promote it?
