Step beyond the ordinary and into one of the richest birding regions on Earth. This 10-day expedition through Southwest Papua is designed for wildlife photographers and serious birders seeking more than just iconic sightings—it’s about depth, diversity, and immersion.
From the forest floors of Malagufuk to the remote waters of Mayalibit Bay, you’ll pursue an extraordinary range of species, including multiple Birds of Paradise such as Wilson’s, Red, King, Lesser, Magnificent, and Riflebird. Each day is shaped around field conditions and wildlife activity, giving you the best possible opportunities to observe and photograph these remarkable birds in their natural habitat.
This is not a typical tour. It’s a true field experience—early starts, forest walks, and time spent in carefully selected locations where wildlife encounters are authentic and rewarding. Along the way, you’ll also encounter crowned pigeons, kingfishers, parrots, pittas, and a variety of endemic species unique to this region.
With a small group size and experienced local guides, the expedition balances focused birding with practical logistics, allowing you to concentrate on what matters most: finding, observing, and capturing rare moments in the wild.
If you’re ready to move beyond comfort and into discovery, this journey offers one of the most complete birding and photography experiences in West Papua.
