Goroka show

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea

I am interested in going to Goroka show.
I dont know much about Papua New Guinea. I am an experienced traveler but I think is a short time to plan. Any suggestions of a tour company? Local guide? Hotels?
Security in Port Moresby? Security in Goroka? Please any advice would be much apreciated

the shows put great strain on accommodation and transport (which are already not in great shape) so arriving without a plan is risky - a few hundred tourists plus hundreds of performers and thousands of locals all need accommodation and transport

i recommend you try ruth dicker in sydney - she speaks pidgin and has lived in PNG - we have used her for 3 PNG trips

rdicker@ngholidays.com +61 9290 2055

you may be too late to find anything with her or any other tour co.

in all PNG cities the usual rules apply - keep a low profile, if on your own have a plan know where you are going and dont walk around at night

Hello,

I am from the Highlands and knows very well of tour operators in Papua New Guinea. I know very well of a Tour Company namely Mapex Travel & Tours. They based in Port Moresby, a 5-7 minutes drive from Port Moresby international airport. They do Goroka, Mt. Hagen show, Morobe show and other tours including adventure trips in the highlands including Goroka show. They have experience local guides who knows very well of Goroka area and the entire Highlands. They know traditional language of the Highlands and pidgin English.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

regards

Chris
