There are few if any human spectacles in the world that can match the gathering of tribes at Papua New Guinea’s highland “sing-sings.” Thousands of participants gather from far and wide to compete in dancing, singing, drumming and in decorating their bodies in the most extraordinary ways imaginable.

The “Mount Hagen Show” is among the greatest of all these events, and our program is designed to allow you two days at the festival to take in the spectacle and to photograph it to your heart’s content. Your memories and pictures are bound to be nothing less than astonishing.

There is so much to see in addition to the “Show.” A Papua New Guinea travel adventure highlight will be a three-night voyage along the Sepik River aboard the superb nine-cabin Sepik Spirit. We visit villages where people still live in traditional ways and practice traditional forms of worship, and as we learn about their cultures it’s easy to develop a sense of wonder at the diversity of life.

Both the Sepik and the highlands are surrounded by primary rainforest and offer outstanding bird watching and a chance to see some unusual plant species. In the highlands you walk through rainforests in search of exquisite, rare birds of paradise and orchids. You’ll also meet the “wigmen” and other people of this remote area, whose first contact with the outside world wasn’t until the 1930s.

For good measure, we include a visit to Cairns, Australia, where on the last day of the Papua New Guinea travel, tour the Atherton Tablelands with a good chance of seeing duck-billed platypus in the wild!

During one of International Expedition’s Papua New Guinea vacations you can experience a unique journey to some of the most interesting spots on Earth.
