Walindi Plantation Resort is situated in Kimbe Bay, which lies on the North shores of West New Britain. Walindi’s world famous dive sites are teeming with exotic fish and corals, so I’m hoping to get some diving and snorkelling in. We* will also be bathing in waters heated by a volcano, watching fireflies set the evening sky alight, and checking out some old World War II wrecks in the region.
Mount Hagen sits at 1,677m (5,500ft) above sea level, so I’m looking forward to getting some views of the Wahgi Valley, known to have some of the oldest evidence of agriculture in the world.
We’ll be trekking in the highlands, walking around the local villages and keeping an eye on some of the exotic birds found in the region. Mount Hagen is also famous for its cultural festivals, with different tribes displaying their colours in a ‘sing-sing’.
After a shirt pit stop in Port Moresby, we then fly to Tufi and stay at the Tufi Dive Resort. This place is a hidden oasis nestled in a breathtaking fjord, with spectacular views of the sea and mountains.
As well as more diving and snorkelling, I’m looking forward to some guided bushwalking, kayaking around the fjords, watching waterfalls cascading from the cliff tops, checking out secluded beaches, and maybe tackling some of the Kokoda Trail.
Possibly the most exciting part of the trip I’m looking forward to is staying Airbnb-style in a village guesthouse. I’ve been told access to some of the villages is only possible by kayaking around the fjords – the more remote the better!
From Mount Hagen we take a short flight across the mountains to Tari. Tari is home to the ‘Huli Wigmen’, a flamboyant tribe known for their ornate ceremonial ‘wigs’.
These wigmen perform dances and songs, based on the mating ritual of the native birds of paradise. That should be impressive!
Excellent services over all…
