JAYAPURA SHORE EXCURSION: LAKE SENTANI, ASEI ISLAND BARK PAINTING & MACARTHUR HILL

Jayapura is the capital of Papua, on the north coast of New Guinea. It feels very different from the rest of Indonesia.

The route (about 6 hours)

• A boat across Lake Sentani past villages built on stilts over the water.
• Asei Island, where families paint traditional designs on bark cloth; you can buy directly from the artists.
• The MacArthur monument on the hill where General MacArthur had his base in 1944, with a wide view of the lake.

How these shore excursions work

• Private tour for your group only, from a few people in a van up to a full coach.
• An English-speaking local guide meets you at the cruise terminal (or at the tender pier if your ship anchors).
• We plan the day around your ship's times and bring you back well before all-aboard.
• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.

Included

• English-speaking local guide
• Private vehicle with driver
• Entrance tickets and boat rides in the route you choose

Not included

• Lunch and drinks, unless we agree on a lunch stop in the price
• Tips for the guide and driver

Price

The price per person depends on your group size and the route. Tell us your ship, date and number of people and we will send a plan and a price.
