About Gulf

Gulf Province, a remote and culturally rich region in Papua New Guinea, offers intrepid travelers an authentic glimpse into traditional Melanesian life. Nestled along the Gulf of Papua, this province is defined by its vast river systems—most notably the mighty Kikori and Purari Rivers—which serve as the lifeblood for countless villages accessible only by water. The region's crown jewel is the Kikori River Basin, home to one of the world's largest remaining intact tropical rainforests and a UNESCO World Heritage tentative site. Here, you can explore the incredible biodiversity of the Great Papuan Plateau, witness spectacular birdlife including birds of paradise, and visit traditional stilt villages where time-honored customs thrive. The annual Hiri Moale Festival in Kerema town celebrates the ancient Hiri trade voyages with vibrant canoe races, traditional singing, and dancing. For those seeking raw adventure, Gulf Province provides unparalleled opportunities for river expeditions, wildlife spotting, and cultural immersion with the Elema, Kerewo, and Purari peoples, whose intricate wood carvings and elaborate ceremonial masks are renowned throughout PNG.
