Trusted Papua Expeditions Since 2010

We help travel agencies and tour operators sell remote Papua without needing to manage local logistics, permits, boats, guides, accommodation or community access themselves.

For more than 15 years, Roon Island Expeditions has explored some of the most remote regions of Papua, building trusted relationships with local communities, guides and operating partners across the island.

Our expeditions have been featured in international fishing and travel media since 2010, documenting years of exploration, discovery and expedition development throughout Papua.
