Kick off your jungle jamboree with a view that'll make your jaw drop at Pantai Base-G, a beach with sublime sunrise views.

Day 2 – History and Culture Galore

Say hello to day two playing detective at Museum Negeri Papua. With historical marvels at every corner, unravel the mysteries of a bygone era. From tribal artifacts to historical documents, touch the veins of history and feel the heartbeat of Jayapura. After a morning well-spent at the museum, hop onto a boat to Lake Sentani. Rest yourself in the tranquility of the waters, waving back at the friendly local fishermen sailing past. Once the orange glow of the afternoon sun paints the sky, head over to the Jayapura City Tower. Feast your eyes on the panoramic view of Jayapura unveiling itself, one twinkling light at a time, as dusk descends.

Day 3 – Natural Wonders and Farewell to Jayapura

Have you ever dreamt of clear waters lapping at your feet, the soft sand tickling your toes, and the sweet whisper of a tropical breeze? Well, this is it! After soaking up the sun and serenity, gear up for an uphill climb to the Love Hill. Don't worry, the stunning panoramic view awaiting at the top is well worth the sweat. As the sun sets on your eventful journey, sit back and absorb the all-encompassing beauty of this Indonesian jewel. Dine at one of the local eateries, savor the regional cuisine, and reflect on your unforgettable journey. Jayapura, you were indeed a dream – a dream we lived right to the fullest!
