About Papua
Papua is home to the world’s third-largest rainforest, and is made up of 2 different countries: Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Papua, located in the easternmost part of Indonesia, is a land of unspoiled wilderness and incredible biodiversity. Known for its dense tropical rainforests, majestic mountains, stunning underwater world, and indigenous cultures deeply connected to nature, Papua remains one of the last great frontiers in the world. The island is home to a remarkable array of wildlife and plants.
From the legendary Birds of Paradise to rare endemic species, Papua is a top destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Our wildlife tours offer a firsthand experience of the island’s rich biodiversity, both in its lush rainforests and its breathtaking marine ecosystems.
