Bucket List Alert! Visit the Pacific’s Last Frontiers with Crooked Compass

updated on 75 Comments on Bucket List Alert! Visit the Pacific’s Last Frontiers with Crooked Compass

There are bucket list trips and then there are bucket list trips! Boutique tour operator Crooked Compass is once again paving the way to experience the Pacific’s last frontiers in its unique style. A maximum of seven guests will be transported by private aircraft through the remote areas of the history- laden Solomon Islands and culturally rich Papua New Guinea, taking in not one, but two cultural festivals—the Siwai Cultural Show in the autonomous region of Bougainville as well as the Mount Hagen Cultural Show in Papua New Guineas tribal rich highlands.

Departing Cairns in a beautifully fitted out King Air 200 in August 2023, guests will have the rare privilege to explore one the oldest and most culturally complex regions on the planet. The unparalleled air expedition is brimming with exclusive experiences including the opportunity to snorkel among WWII relics in Tulagi (Solomon Islands) and visiting the controversial Panguna Mine Site in Bougainville. For behind-the-scenes access, guests will witness the production of the rare Malagan carvings in Nusa Lik, Kavieng and enjoy a homestay experience on the rustic Duke of York Islands. Guests will experience a traditional and private Bainings Fire Dance inland from Rabaul, as well a visit to the start of the Kokoda Track and a volcano climb.

In addition, guests will hike in search of endemic birds, take waterfall swims and rainforest walks to downed WWII planes, as well as experience a private island off Gizo.

“To curate a bucket-list trip such as this, I wanted to interweave all the ‘must see’ experiences travelers crave in these remote lands and then add more! Exquisite birdlife for the twitchers, WWII history and relics, controversy and geopolitics, tribal ceremonies and tranquil landscapes – not to mention two of the richest cultural shows in the region and the importance of connection with the local people,” said Crooked Compass Founder, Lisa Pagotto.
