4-dagars kulturella, naturliga och tribala turer från Tari
Denna tur tar in höjdpunkterna i och runt Tari, vid den västra ändstationen av Highlands Highway.
Dag 01 : Port Moresby - Tari
När du anländer till Tari idag möts du av din guide och körs till byn Hetamali. Under eftermiddagen får du chansen att uppleva lokala byar i området och kanske till och med besöka spådamens skeletthydda.
Övernattning på Tabiale Guesthouse med måltider.
Dag 2: Vandring längs Mybiri-sjön
I morse lämnar ni Lakwanda Lodge och åker mot Lake Mybiri. Efter en dag med lätt vandring återvänder ni till lodgen för kvällsmat och vila.
Ovnrätt på Tabiale Guesthouse med måltider
Dag 3: Tokia by
Efter frukost i morse lämnar ni lodgen för att åka till Tagalifloden. Här hoppar ni på en lokal kanot och korsar vattnet till Tokia Village. I Tokia får ni chansen att uppleva den lokala byns kultur och livsstil. Här kan ni vandra ner för att se pojkarnas initieringscenter innan ni åker dit. I byn får ni delta i och bevittna när lokalbefolkningen förbereder en jordugnsmumu - en traditionell stil där man lagar mat i marken med glödande stenar. Här njuter vi av lunch och återvänder sedan till Lakwanda Lodge senare i eftermiddag.
Övernattning på Tabiale Guesthouse med måltider.

- Day 1: I am warmly greeted by David Kima, who recounts the story and conservation movement of Hogave. We arrive in the middle of the local village mourning of a recently deceased member, a very rare and local experience, totally unplanned. After 3 hours of very rocky road driving, I arrive at the Hogave Conservation Centre welcomed by two villagers who performed a traditional wind instrument that very few locals can play, and incredibly, I become only the second (or third) tourist ever to stay here.
- Day 2: I trek through a truly "virgin" rain forest, one of very few remaining in the world (Congo, Amazon, and PNG), guided by three locals bushwhacking the way with machetes, climb a very wild and steep mountain side equivalent of 200 floors (according to my iPhone) to become the first tourist to reach the top of Mt. Michael. (The way down in the pouring rain was our least favorite moment.) As someone who has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, I can truthfully say this was a much more challenging level of difficulty - There the most I've climbed in one day was 134 floors, 3-4 hours max, with a different day dedicated to a descent, but in Michael, it was 200 floor, up and down in one day, for 10-12 hours, with far steeper and unpaved paths without camps. This hike/trek is only for the fittest of the fit!
- Day 3: I become the first tourist to visit and stay overnight at Hogave Village, an isolated and remote hour-and-a-half walk from HCC, and join the villagers in peeling potatoes and taro, preparing, and eating mumu. I stay overnight with David (another David) and his family.
- Day 4: I join the villagers gathered to enjoy a traditional hunting performance
- Day 5: I get cellular reception for the first time since I arrive in PNG and get to upload and share my first batch of photos with my friends. https://www.facebook.com/grace.forker.7/media_set?set=a.837672754956.1073741876.3501655&type=3
- Day 1: I ride a local bus (!) with my guide Pauline Puipui to Ratavul where I visit to stay with her family. I visit the local beach, listen to the stories of Pauline's parents, and join them for dinner which is mumu with the biggest giant claims I've ever seen in my life! I stay overnight at an authentic hut and bed made of woven coconut leaves.
- Day 2: I try weaving coconut leaves, scraping coconuts, etc. in preparing mumu that we enjoy with the family and neighbors, then string together local currency of shells. https://www.facebook.com/grace.forker.7/media_set?set=a.836154502546.1073741875.3501655&type=3
- Day 3: I am amazed by the first day of Mask Festival with the early morning Kinavai and nighttime Baining Fire Dance. https://www.facebook.com/grace.forker.7/media_set?set=a.837870833006.1073741880.3501655&type=3 In between during the day, I snorkel and sail with dolphins on the way to/from Duke of York Islands where I explore and picnic at the beach. https://www.facebook.com/grace.forker.7/media_set?set=a.836148634306.1073741874.3501655&type=3
- Days 4-5: More amazing moments at the Festival
- Day 6: I climb to the top Mt Tavurvur volcano and explore Rabaul, including the Japanese bunker and barge tunnels, and Rabaul Museum/Rabaul Hotel. What a history! https://www.facebook.com/grace.forker.7/media_set?set=a.837875388876.1073741881.3501655&type=3
