Gulf & Western Provinces

Activities in Gulf & Western Provinces

  1. Kiunga Nature Tours

    In recent years Kiunga has become a popular destination for bird-watchers, mainly due to the expertise of Samuel Kepuknai, an unassuming but passionate naturalist who's an expert on where to find the region's birds. Contact him at Kiunga Nature Tours, to arrange tours up the Fly River or day trips from Tabubil.

    The best birding is between April and October when it's drier and the birds are beginning their breeding cycles. Bring some rubber boots for walking in the mud.

  2. fishing trips

    The best contact is Max, the manager of the Kuki Hotel, who can arrange fishing trips in the mangroves for barramundi and black bass. Rates vary for a two-day trip (depending on how much fuel you use).

  3. Kiunga Nature Tours

    Like Kiunga, the bird life in the valleys around Tabubil is quite amazing - there are more than 10 species of birds of paradise. Most birders engage Samuel Kepuknai from Kiunga Nature Tours as a guide.
