Can you clarify the accommodation. The description under accommodation says four nights but the tour has 6 nights. Are the two nights in Port Morsby included.

The package includes a 4-night stay at the Hagen International Hotel; however, overnight accommodations in Port Moresby on Day 1 and Day 6 are not included.

Could you arrange for us to take photos of the birds of paradise at Mt. Hagen on August 18th?

Please note that the birdwatching tour is optional and costs €150 per person. As a highlight, the tour includes a visit to Rondon Ridge, one of Papua New Guinea's premier birdwatching locations. It is home to 10 species of birds-of-paradise, as well as over 180 other bird species. Some of the remarkable species you may encounter include MacGregor's bowerbird, brown sicklebill, Stephanie's astrapia, and the superb bird-of-paradise.

I want to apply for a visa first, so what is the last time for me to book this tour?

Usually, we need at least 40 days to arrange all services for the tour, so we typically do not accept bookings if it is less than 40 days. However, we can never guarantee that the tour will be available at that time.

  Is this tour include the accommodation in Moresby? And can I apply for a visa if I don't have a confirmed reservation yet?
- Penguin TravelOperator•Written April 2025
  It's recommended to have both your reservation and flights booked before applying for your visa. Without these, there's a risk your application could be denied, and the visa fee is non-refundable. As for accommodation in Port Moresby, it comes at an additional cost. We suggest planning to arrive in Port Moresby one or even two days before the official trip starts.
