Papua New Guinea remains one of the world’s last true frontiers for adventure travel—a place where raw natural beauty, extraordinary wildlife, and centuries-old cultural traditions exist side by side. 


The world’s second-largest island is a land of striking contrasts: towering mountain ranges, endless rainforests, mighty river systems, and untouched coral atolls.


 Its natural diversity is matched only by the richness of its people, whose traditions remain deeply woven into daily life and are as breathtaking as the landscapes around them. 


From the vibrant body art of the highland tribes to the intricate ceremonial carvings of the Sepik region, Papua New Guineans share their heritage with a warmth and hospitality that is both rare and unforgettable. 


On this remarkable journey, you’ll have the rare opportunity to experience one of the country’s greatest cultural celebrations—the legendary Goroka Show.


“The Goroka Cultural Show, one of Papua New Guinea’s most celebrated and vibrant cultural festivals, is confirmed to take place in 2026 from Friday, 18 September to Sunday, 20 September—marking its 70th edition. If you miss the 2025 festive season, this will be the perfect opportunity to experience it.”
