PNG Birds and Culture

$9,250.00

Embark on a 14-day birding adventure through Papua New Guinea, exploring premier wildlife destinations in search of the country’s most spectacular species. This journey combines exceptional birdwatching with opportunities to experience New Guinea’s rich and diverse cultural heritage. A major highlight is the world-famous Mt Hagen Show, where cultural groups from across the island gather in a striking display of colour, costume, music, and dance—featuring the vibrant feathers of the very Birds of Paradise we hope to encounter in the wild. Travelling through a variety of habitats, we expect to observe multiple species of Birds of Paradise along with an impressive array of regional specialities, celebrating both the natural and cultural wonders of Papua New Guinea.

This tour is run in collaboration with Sicklebill Safaris, our trusted partners in delivering world-class birding experiences across the country. For more information, please contact Sue, Phil, or Rowan at info@s2travel.com.au.

Tour dates: 04-17 August 2026.
