点评:We booked a 7 days trip in the upper sepik in August 2023 with starting date being the crocodile festival. We got the surprise when we arrived at Wewak that Cyril was not finally available for our trip and that Joseph Kodi will be our guide in replacement of Cyril. I expressively mentioned to Cyril that our choice was to travel with him and he agreed about this. The price that we paid was a bit overrated but we accepted it since Cyril was highly recommended. As we paid in advance 30% of the price and with no other choice in terms of logistics, we went to the trip with Joseph.
So be aware that Cyril may not be fully transparent and reliable.
This being said, upper sepik and the crocodile festival was an amazing experience, one of the best as traveler.
We spent 2 days in Ambunti taking time to enjoy the crocodile festival then we moved forward to remote villages in the upper Sepik. People have been lovely, every village was different, I have no word to describe our experience there. All family that welcomed us have been very kind. There was no much comfort, but this was obviously not what we were looking for. About Joseph, he was a good guide. Honestly, he did his best for us to have this amazing experience. We followed the itinerary that we discussed with Cyril. He offered some other activities and was very easy to speak with. He had extensive experience in the Sepik and we enjoyed our discussions.
So don't hesitate to organize a trip directly with him. Price should be more affordable that Cyril.
After Sepik, we moved to Mushu island. 3 days experience there. Clement and his family welcomed us. Peaceful moment there in a lovely island. The family is very kind. Good to rest in Mushu after Sepik. Don't hesitate to contact him, tried to organize it few days before, logistics is not the first strengths of PNG people.
Other info that may be useful in you are travelling in the highlands, contact Cody, he will be more happy to welcome you in the village of the Mudmen (Asaro village). He used to do couchsurfing and will make you discover the culture of the Asaro village, goroka and the highland.
He is very lovely, don't hesitate to text him in what's app.
Last but not least I will recommend you to go to Tufi. Another amazing experience.
Stay few days in the resort (that is very nice - the place is just amazing, go to enjoy this fjords) and then moved to the village around (the resort will help you, they promote local tourism with local communities, and accommodation in the village are affordable), there are some guesthouses there. Very lovely people. The village are very remote, very quiet, white sandy beach... just amazing. One the closest one to the resort was very nice.

翻译:我们于 2023 年 8 月预订了上塞皮克 7 天的旅行,开始日期是鳄鱼节。当我们到达韦瓦克时,我们惊讶地发现西里尔最终无法参加我们的旅行,而约瑟夫·科迪将取代西里尔成为我们的导游。我明确地向西里尔提到我们的选择是和他一起旅行,他同意了这一点。我们支付的价格有点高估,但我们接受了,因为强烈推荐西里尔。由于我们提前支付了30%的费用,并且在物流方面没有其他选择,我们就和约瑟夫一起去旅行了。
因此请注意,西里尔可能并不完全透明和可靠。
话虽这么说,上塞皮克和鳄鱼节是一次令人惊叹的经历,是作为旅行者最好的经历之一。
我们在安本蒂呆了两天,享受了鳄鱼节,然后我们前往塞皮克上游的偏远村庄。人们都很可爱,每个村庄都不同,我无法用言语来形容我们在那里的经历。所有欢迎我们的家庭都非常友善。没有太多的安慰,但这显然不是我们想要的。关于约瑟夫,他是一位很好的向导。老实说,他尽了最大努力让我们拥有这次奇妙的经历。我们按照与西里尔讨论的行程进行。他还提供了一些其他活动,而且很容易交谈。他在塞皮克方面拥有丰富的经验,我们很享受我们的讨论。
因此,请毫不犹豫地直接与他一起组织旅行。价格应该比西里尔更实惠。
离开塞皮克后,我们前往木须岛。在那里体验了3天。克莱门特和他的家人欢迎我们。在一个可爱的岛屿上享受宁静的时刻。这家人非常友善。塞皮克之后可以在木须休息一下。不要犹豫联系他,几天前就尝试组织过,物流不是巴布亚新几内亚人的第一强项。
其他对您在高地旅行时可能有用的信息,请联系科迪,他会更乐意在泥人村(阿萨罗村)欢迎您。他曾经做过沙发冲浪,会让您发现阿萨罗村、戈罗卡和高地的文化。
他非常可爱,请不要犹豫在应用程序中给他发短信。
最后但并非最不重要的一点是我会推荐你去图菲。另一个奇妙的经历。
在度假村住几天(这非常好 - 这个地方太棒了,去享受这个峡湾),然后搬到周围的村庄(度假村会帮助你,他们与当地社区一起促进当地旅游业,并在当地提供住宿)村子里价格实惠),那里有一些宾馆。非常可爱的人。这个村庄非常偏僻,非常安静,白色的沙滩......真是太棒了。距离度假村最近的一间非常好。
