We’re excited to launch this brand new and exclusive 15 day butterfly tour to West Papua, where will we take you to four of the most famous and different butterfly locations.

Our guide has already run an impressive 5 butterfly tours here, which means he has the invaluable experience and knowledge to make your holiday a thrilling and rewarding, but safe experience.  And with the added help of the best local guides, we should find massive Ornithoptera and incredibly coloured Delias, elusive Taenaris and flying jewels Hypochrysops.

This will be a small group to make sure you get the best wildlife sightings and photography opportunities. For most of the tour we will be staying in simple but comfortable hotels (mostly with AC and WIFI), which will allow us to fully enjoy one of the last butterfly havens on Earth, in all its beauty, with comfort and safety.

At Wamena, Manokwari, Jayapura, Fakfak accommodation will be in 3 stars hotels. In the Arfak mountains accommodation will be in a basic guest house with Indonesia style mandi toilet. This is a remote area where accommodation will be basic, with few amenities.

We will travel in Toyota Hilux 4×4 (or similar) vehicles for Arfak and Wamena. A regular, large people carrier type vehicle, will be used for Fakfak and Jayapura. Please be aware that the roads will be rough once we get up into the mountains, so be prepared for some discomfort. Walking should only be for fairly short distances, as the mud-puddling areas will be near bridges and fords. Forest trails will consist of infrequently used dirt tracks and walking trails that run between the various villages.

Book your places soon on what promises to be a very special experience!
