This action-packed tour takes in the New Guinea Highlands, with their pristine forests home to the incomparable birds-of-paradise, as well as the island of New Britain, offshore from the main bulk of PNG and packed with its own endemic delights – two contrasting but equally thrilling locations. In the Highlands we will comb the forests and lodge feeders for New Guinea’s extraordinary birdlife, unique as it is rich, with birds-of-paradise the highlights, with plumage and adornments that are hard to believe. On New Britain there are many endemic and colourful species and, in between land-based birding, we will also have a day’s snorkelling over the magical reefs and take a boat out to look for seabirds and cetaceans.

  • Day’s birding at Varirata National Park
  • Three nights at Rondon Ridge Lodge in the Highlands
  • Birds-of-paradise, including Brown Sicklebill, Ribbon-tailed Astrapia and King of Saxony Bird-of-paradise
  • Immersion into local culture, observing Melpa ceremonial dances
  • Five nights on New Britain, largest of the Bismarck Islands
  • Lots of rare and unusual birds, including Melanesian Scrubfowl and Bismarck Flowerpecker
  • Boat trip for tropicbirds and Spinner Dolphins
  • Check offshore islands for Nicobar Pigeon and others
  • Chance of snorkelling over the local reefs
[introduction] => This Papua New Guinea itinerary includes visits to the highland interior and New Britain, introducing both the wildlife and culture of this fascinating country. [edges] => Array ( ) [locations] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Papua New Guinea [description] =>

New Guinea is one of the wildest, most unexplored regions on Earth, with some 90% of the country still covered in forest.

It has the richest avifauna of any island with nearly 400 endemic species, including many of the birds-of-paradise, perhaps the most extraordinary family of all the worlds birds. Although their incredible displays are often shown on television, to watch them in the field is a priceless experience of a lifetime.


The island holds a wonderful assembly of pigeons, doves, parrots and kingfishers, not to mention gorgeous jewel-babblers, fairy-wrens and stunning species such as Flame Bowerbird and Garnet Robin.

Raptors are not numerous, but we have the chance of observing one of the most magnificent, the New Guinea Harpy Eagle. 

The smaller islands around New Guinea also have a wide variety of birds, and a number of pelagic species can be found offshore. Below the waves lie some fantastic reefs, hosting an array of colourful fish and the sheltered bays attract in cetaceans.

For many people, Papua New Guinea, or PNG, is synonymous with birds-of- paradise, and whilst these beautiful birds are not to be missed, there is plenty more besides to discover! This new itinerary combines some of the best highland birding sites and cultural visits with the terrestrial and marine wildlife of the Bismarck islands, including boat trips and snorkelling opportunities from New Britain.

After a day tour to Varirata National Park, which provides us with an excellent introduction to the main island’s wildlife, we will next transfer to Rondon Ridge Lodge for a 3-night stay in search of birds-of-paradise. We can expect to find Blue Bird-of-paradise, Superb Bird-of-paradise and King of Saxony Bird-of-paradise, as well as Princess Stephanie’s Astrapia, along with a variety of honeyeaters, parrots, lorikeets, berrypeckers, fantails, and bower birds. In the lodge grounds there is an orchid trail that showcases a selection of high-altitude species, while at night large Hercules Moths are drawn to the lights around the lodge. A trip to Kumul Lodge will offer the possibility of seeing some additional species, including Brown Sicklebill, Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, Brehm’s Tiger Parrot, Blue-capped Ifrit and Belford’s Melidectes, and we may come across one of the local mammal species, Ground Cuscus. The valley below Rondon Ridge is home to the Melpa people, of which there are several different tribes, each with their own traditions. During our stay we will enjoy learning more about their distinct culture, and experience some of their ceremonial dances.

Next, we will fly to New Britain, the largest of the Bismarck islands, where we stay for five nights. We will explore a number of local habitats, ranging from the coast to upland forests, searching for a variety of raptors, waders, kingfishers, parrots, scrub fowl and cockatoos. Flowering plants are a draw for butterflies, including the huge birdwing butterflies. We will also enjoy excursions out into Kimbe Bay, where we will be looking for cetaceans, oceanic birds and underwater marine-life. As we head out from the shore, we will leave behind the Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea Eagles that hunt around the coast, and start encountering beautiful Red-tailed and White-tailed Tropicbirds, and both Great and Lesser Frigatebirds.

The reefs in the bay are in great condition and there is much to see during a snorkelling session, with a kaleidoscope of corals and fish in multi-coloured hues. Sponges, sea fans, sea stars, seahorses, nudibranchs, 860 species of reef fish and around 400 corals are found on these reefs, making them some of the most biodiverse in the world. Spinner Dolphins are frequent visitors, and if fortunate, a playful pod may choose to entertain us by bow-riding alongside our boat!

This is a general interest wildlife tour. Although bird watching will be a key part of what we see as birds are among the more visible wildlife in the forests, we will make an effort with regard to mammals, butterflies, reptiles and frogs. A couple of days will be spent on boat trips out into Kimbe Bay in search of a variety of sea life. There will also be some time taken to look at the cultural aspects of the areas we visit.

Summary

For many people, Papua New Guinea, or PNG, is synonymous with birds-of- paradise, and whilst these beautiful birds are not to be missed, there is plenty more besides to discover! This new itinerary combines some of the best highland birding sites and cultural visits with the terrestrial and marine wildlife of the Bismarck islands, including boat trips and snorkelling opportunities from New Britain.

After a day tour to Varirata National Park, which provides us with an excellent introduction to the main island’s wildlife, we will next transfer to Rondon Ridge Lodge for a 3-night stay in search of birds-of-paradise. We can expect to find Blue Bird-of-paradise, Superb Bird-of-paradise and King of Saxony Bird-of-paradise, as well as Princess Stephanie’s Astrapia, along with a variety of honeyeaters, parrots, lorikeets, berrypeckers, fantails, and bower birds. In the lodge grounds there is an orchid trail that showcases a selection of high-altitude species, while at night large Hercules Moths are drawn to the lights around the lodge. A trip to Kumul Lodge will offer the possibility of seeing some additional species, including Brown Sicklebill, Ribbon-tailed Astrapia, Brehm’s Tiger Parrot, Blue-capped Ifrit and Belford’s Melidectes, and we may come across one of the local mammal species, Ground Cuscus. The valley below Rondon Ridge is home to the Melpa people, of which there are several different tribes, each with their own traditions. During our stay we will enjoy learning more about their distinct culture, and experience some of their ceremonial dances.

Next, we will fly to New Britain, the largest of the Bismarck islands, where we stay for five nights. We will explore a number of local habitats, ranging from the coast to upland forests, searching for a variety of raptors, waders, kingfishers, parrots, scrub fowl and cockatoos. Flowering plants are a draw for butterflies, including the huge birdwing butterflies. We will also enjoy excursions out into Kimbe Bay, where we will be looking for cetaceans, oceanic birds and underwater marine-life. As we head out from the shore, we will leave behind the Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea Eagles that hunt around the coast, and start encountering beautiful Red-tailed and White-tailed Tropicbirds, and both Great and Lesser Frigatebirds.

The reefs in the bay are in great condition and there is much to see during a snorkelling session, with a kaleidoscope of corals and fish in multi-coloured hues. Sponges, sea fans, sea stars, seahorses, nudibranchs, 860 species of reef fish and around 400 corals are found on these reefs, making them some of the most biodiverse in the world. Spinner Dolphins are frequent visitors, and if fortunate, a playful pod may choose to entertain us by bow-riding alongside our boat!

Focus

This is a general interest wildlife tour. Although bird watching will be a key part of what we see as birds are among the more visible wildlife in the forests, we will make an effort with regard to mammals, butterflies, reptiles and frogs. A couple of days will be spent on boat trips out into Kimbe Bay in search of a variety of sea life. There will also be some time taken to look at the cultural aspects of the areas we visit.
