Feeling inspired by fanged frogs, pygmy parrots and woolly rats? Well, these UK-based tour operators and specialist travel agencies may not get you as far off the beaten track as the Mount Bosavi volcano, but most of them offer adventure tours and botanical & wildlife tours into the rainforest.
Bear in mind, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is not considered an entirely safe destination by many travel companies, which is reflected in the low number of operators who take travellers there.
