Tari Day Tour - Cultural, Nature, and Wildlife Tour - 1 Day Tour from Tari

Tari Cultural, Nature, and Wildlife Tours

Full day tour of Tari Valley, jungles and highland nature spots, and incredible (best in the world) bird-watching, villages and cultural spots. Tari is one of the most alive vestiges of PNG before foreigners ever set foot inside, and it isn't surprising to see plenty of tribesmen wearing native dress and natural ornaments of grass and leaves in their hair and bodies. Hairstyles and wigs are about the most outrageous on earth in the Tari Gap area, and many men proudly display these like peacocks. Moving on to the other colorful fauna, spot (if the weather is good, you arrived early enough, and you are very lucky) 13 species of the elusive Birds of Paradise, that live up in the Tari Gap and valleys spanning Ambua to Makara to Lakwanda, among 160 total endemic special species of blazingly colorful birds you may chance upon, a lost world of beautiful flora and plants, as well as 26 different technicolor species of orchids growing wild in the forest. After lunch, visit the Huli Wigmen and their dancing and traditions. End at the hotel for dinner.
