Audley in Papua New Guinea
Audley is one of very few tour operators in the UK that has first-hand knowledge of Papua New Guinea.
Much of PNG is inaccessible, but even in the places you can get to there is a real feeling of remoteness.
We suggest that you use the comfortable lodges as a base from which to explore the country, these lodges being either in the Highlands, along the Sepik River region or on the unspoilt coast and islands. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the local cultures of the nearby villages, where the languages change even between people living just a few miles apart.
As even major towns are often not linked by road, light aircraft are used to hop from one lodge to the next and day excursions are as often by boat as by road. The MV Sepik Spirit is a comfortable and magical way to explore the Sepik River, with stops taken at the villages and lakes on the threenight river journey.
The Orion Expedition cruise is a good way to combine PNG with time in Australia and offers a fantastic way of accessing some of the more remote islands.
