Sepik Spirit (Cruise Boat)

Sepik River

The Sepik Spirit is a 9-room river cruise boat with a unique design inspired be the local architecture of the spirit house. This one of a kind cruise ship is used to take guests on a voyage along the waterways of Papua New Guinea's Sepik region. Thus, allowing for the unique opportunity to journey into remote villages that could not otherwise be reached on day trips.

You will disembark the boat each day, where time will be spent visiting the spirit houses, family homes and important places in the villages and hearing about the traditional rituals, warfare, initiation ceremonies and ancestral beliefs. The tribes of this region express their beliefs and creativity through the creation of unique and beautiful tribal art, such as masks, flutes, drums and spirit figures. You will have the opportunity to view and purchase arts from the small village markets. The Sepik Spirit has nine-rooms with ensuite bathrooms, dining room and air conditioner. Typical cruises are 3 to 4 nights in length. It is accessible by charter flights that operate in/out of the Karawari airstrip and from Rondon Ridge & Ambua Lodge. Charter flights from other departure points can be arranged.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
