Frontier Lands Of Papua New Guinea, Cairns to Madang

30 October 2019, Coral Adventurer

“We reached the mouth of the mighty Sepik River at 0545, and began our ascent of the river admiring distant ridges and mountains above the palms and trees. Long thin dugout canoes shot out from the banks as we passed camps of scattered thatch houses, which people occupy while they fish, process sago and collect bananas, prior to converging on their main villages.” – Expedition Leader Jamie Anderson

February 2018, Coral Expeditions I

“Everyone was up early and eager as we headed across to Pelambei Village. Hundreds of egrets flooded the rain trees and beautiful pink lilies lined the waterways. On arrival, we were shown through to one of three Haus Tambaran and sat inside whilst Arron (the community head for 35 years) spoke to us about what happens in the village and the traditions.”

“The Xplorer gave us an easy afternoon landing amid calm seas and we were greeted by customary dancing and a sing sing performed to the beating rhythm of the drums. There was a welcome and presentation of gifts from Jamie. The children were let out of the primary school here, most of them speaking English comfortably. Again, as at all villages we have visited, there were tidy, nicely laid out paths that had been swept clean, with lots of fruit trees. Most the guests chose a canoe paddle up the creek.”

Banjarmasin Floating Markets - Casimah March 2020 (5)

Best Day on Expedition | Banjarmasin

24th April 2020
It’s always an adventure when doing something that is especially different like waking up at 4:30 in the morning to board a local boat to see a sunrise floating market.  The air was crisp and peaceful and the only noise we heard was the hum of our Xplorer moving in the dark like a crocodile, barely creating…
