Best of PNG - Highlands Tribes Tour 2026

Why book with us?

• We've been diving, exploring and touring Papua New Guinea since 2010. Our Managing Director, Christopher Bartlett, has logged over 800 dives in the country, spends two months a year in-country checking up on service providers, leading cultural tours to festivals, birding, and exploring new spots for new trips in the highland regions and the Sepik.
• We have established close-knit relationships with local in the Eastern and Western Highlands and Sepik River regions, leading to some exceptionally rich experiences for our clients. Our team on the ground in the Asaro Valley and Sepik ensure that you arrive as a client and leave as a friend. 
• We doubt that you will find another tour operator with our breadth of experience and knowledge covering diving and land tours.
• Our network of contacts with the local airlines and resorts is well-nurtured and close, and we fully understand both the intricacies of travel in PNG and our clients' various and differing requirements. 
• We represent PNG resorts at international dive and travel shows in Europe and the USA and are an approved PNG Guinea inbound tour operator, see the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority website here. 
• We have been involved in remote-location tourism, from expeditions to luxury travel, for the best part of 19 years. 
• We are an international company, with bank accounts in USD, GBP, EUR, and AUD, amongst others, and accept card payments.  
• We are thoroughly committed to local community and business development, with an emphasis on using locally owned accommodation, helping develop local tourism service providers using my 23 years of experience in bespoke wildlife and adventure travel running Indigo Safaris. 
• We run the best value tours in PNG.
• We put most of the profit from these trips back into community projects.
