Amazing Arfak
April 6 > 26, 2008
21 days/20 nights, from US$ 2,920 (Manokwari-Manokwari)
This birding expedition focuses exclusively on the isolated and rugged
Arfak Mountains in the eastern sector of the Bird's Head near the provincial
capital Manokwari. Bound to become Papua's premier birding destination,
the Arfaks support all presently described Vogelkop endemics and provide
straightforward access to largely untouched foothill, hill and montane
forests that support a wonderfully diverse avifauna. Join us on this Arfak
bird watching adventure covering relevant elevations spread over four
separate mini-expeditions into the wild interior.

Waigeo, Arfak and Geelvink Islands
May 4 > 31, 2008
28 days/27 nights, from US$ 4,010 (Sorong-Biak)
We begin our Papuan bird watching adventure with a pilgrimage to Waigeo’s
avian delights in the environs of the peculiarly shaped Mount Nok, often
dubbed ‘Buffelhorn’ mountain. Next, we shift our attention
to the Arfak Mountains, where we'll bird all elevations during three separate
forays into the interior. The last leg of our birding expedition, we devote
to the deep water islands of Biak and Numfor in Papua's famed Geelvink
Bay. The ultimate Vogelkop birding trip!

Lake Habbema and the Ibele Valley in the Snow Mountains, lowland forest
near Jayapura, the Siyoubrig area of the Arfak Mountains, and tantalizing
Waigeo. If you only come birding in Papua once, then take this tour!
