Hello, thanks for considering a tour to Papua with us, Papua Adventures.
Papua is known as the "land of the unexpected". This is because Papua is truly
an unique and amazing place. Full of pristine rain-forests and home to the most primitive people on earth.

This term, "land of the unexpected" also applies to many tour companies that offer trips to Papua. Some claim they are the best. Many claim
to take you to the "last wild places". And yet others claim they're the best because they have simply run a lot of tours. Our philosophy is, "quality, not quantity".

For the past 13 years we have prided ourselves on leading treks into the more remote and unexplored areas of Papua. Places that other guides and companies simply don't know about, or don't know how to get to. We offer tours that take you into areas that are less remote and more accessible,as well. But, our forte is finding new and interesting places for our clients. We like to keep exploring !

Please take a look at our tour schedule for 2007. And then compare it to the schedules other companies. I am sure you will agree that we are the most adventurous company in Papua. We were the original company to offer a "First Contact" expedition in Papua.
We lead, the others follow.

You will see on some of our tour itineraries that we don't always give you
the logistics of a trip. There is a simple reason for this. Other companies will use this information and they'll try to follow. But they don't know the logistics, they haven't done their research in advance. And they don't have the connections
that help assure a safe passage.

We've had plenty of satisfied customers over the years. And our clients come from all over the world. Austria, England, Finland, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Chile, America to name a few. Many have been repeat clients. And one couple we have taken 3 times to Papua with us. A reference list of past clients is available upon your request.

Over the past years we have been privileged to have guided some of the most respected television stations, magazines and newspapers in the world. If they didn't think we were the right company for the job, they simply wouldn't have chosen us to be their guides.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We hope you will have a little better understanding about our company and what distinguishes us from the others.
Many travelers come to Papua wanting a very memorable experience. Some are looking for something they know they won't find anywhere else in the world.
Many will have the adventure of a lifetime.

Remember when going to a place as mysterious and remote as Papua.
Choosing the right tour company will be critical to your experience. Papua Adventures wants to help you get the most from your trip. So please, choose wisely!
