The UK’s leading operator to Asia, Bamboo Travel, has launched a new programme to Papua New Guinea with an initial offering of 10 different itineraries that range from 14 to 18 days duration.
Papua New Guinea has always been surrounded by myths and superlatives and, for those with an adventurous spirit, a genuinely different experience awaits.
It is therefore fitting that Bamboo’s enticing mix of itineraries includes such varied, and exciting highlights as colourful highland tribal festivals with painted warriors, crocodile watching along the Sepik River, spotting birds of paradise, and the chance to discover a smorgasbord of fabulous landscapes.
Other tour options include some of the best snorkelling on the planet, chilling on peaceful beach resorts, discovering the islands’ WW2 history, some exhilarating trekking, and homestays with a friendly population that offer a true South Pacific welcome to everyone making the long journey to discover these mystical islands.
However these web-based itineraries are merely suggestions and Bamboo Travel can tailor-make each trip depending on personal requirements.
As well as the tours Bamboo Travel has created a range of special experiences which can be woven into tailor-made itineraries including:
• The highland festivals of Mount Hagen & the Goroka Show;
• Meeting the Huli Wigmen;
• Photographing the Baining Fire Dance;
• Climbing Mount Wilhelm;
• The Milne Bay Canoe & Kundu Festival;
• See wildlife at the remote Lake Murray
Bamboo Travel’s holidays to Papua New Guinea cost from £7795 pp (two sharing) for the two-week Mount Hagen, The Sepik & The Trobriand Islands tour. Highlights include the Paiyakuna Mini Show, two days at the Mount Hagen Show, a Sepik River adventure and time to explore the legendary Trobriand Islands. The price includes flights, all transportation (private), 12 nights’ B&B (plus eight lunches and six dinners), activities/sightseeing and a guide.
The journey to Papua New Guinea is a long one and so the destination combines well with a stopover in Singapore, Hong Kong or Manila.
