Goroka Festival Explorer

The Goroka Festival Explorer tour begins in Mount Hagen, spending a night at the resplendent Rondon Ridge in a valley that was unknown to the outside world until about 70 years ago. From Mount Hagen your journey takes you into the Sepik Region to explore the waterways of the Sepik River and its tributaries. Spend three nights onboard the Sepik Spirit which is the ultimate 'floating lodge' for the adventurer who desires all the comforts of civilization on the mighty Sepik River. Karawari Lodge is perched on a ridge overlooking the Karawari River and the Sepik Basin. From Karawari you will then fly to Tari Valley home of the flamboyant Huli, a colourful and proud people still largely living as their ancestors did. Ambua Lodge is high on the slopes of the Tari Valley with magnificent views of the valley below and the surrounding peaks. You will learn about the amazing ecology, culture and history of this remote corner of planet earth. From Tari you fly to Goroka to attend the famous Goroka Cultural Show for two days before travelling to Port Moresby and onto your out going international flight.
