The Exocoetus : PNG Frontier Surfaris Charter
Sample Itinery - Ten-day/nine night charter
(Note: Itineraries for these trips are not rigid, we are flexible according to wind and swell conditions, also group preference and guide recommendations).
Day One
Arrive Kavieng midday, met at Airport by your hosts Andrew and Jude. Jump aboard our vehicle, for a short ten-minute drive through Kavieng town to the Exocoetus at Kavieng Harbour.
With bags unloaded, we will throw off the ropes. While you enjoy some refreshments during the skippers brief safety talk as we steam out of Kavieng Harbour. Get acquainted to the boat, its crew and enjoy some lunch, as we head toward the first surf break of the trip. Then experience your first sunset aboard the ‘Exo’ with a South Pacific beer, and delicious dinner of fresh fish or lobster.
Day Two
Depending on the swell and weather conditions your skipper/surf guide will take you to where the surf is at its best. This may involve a short steam during the day, an ideal opportunity to troll a lure. The fishing is fantastic and with our huge selection of lures and two game rods you are likely to hook up several times. Or jump in the dory and speed off to check breaks as the ‘Exo’ steams on to her next safe anchorage.
Back on board for lunch. Afterwards a chance to rest; or check out the nearby reef and its treasures with a mask and snorkel. Alternatively jump back in the speedboat to check out the local breaks. A sunset fish with a beer is hopefully a fruitful affair, topped off with some cultural singing and dancing with a traditionally prepared local meal on the island for your second night.
Day Three - Eight
Again each day will vary according to what is happening with current conditions and what is forecasted (everyday we will get an up to date swell & weather report). Your skipper will take you to islands with the best surf whilst allowing ample opportunity to trawl for a fish. On anchor, take time to explore the islands and appreciate the unique environment & culture of PNG. Witness a traditional ceremony performed to summon the big seas and hopefully more surf for us!
Day Nine/Ten
Enjoy the final day at whatever island we may be. In the evening we will commence our journey back to Kavieng. Alternatively it may be only a short steam back to town so we will pull up anchor and start steaming early on Day Ten. Either way we will allow plenty of time in Kavieng to check-in for your flight home.
