FULL ITINERARY
Explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of Papua in this relaxed day tour from Jayapura cruise port. Begin your journey with a scenic drive to the tranquil Lake Sentani, known for its emerald waters surrounded by lush hills. Here, board a traditional wooden boat for a gentle cruise across the lake to Asei Island, home of the indigenous Sentani people.
On the island, you’ll witness the unique art form of bark painting, a heritage craft passed down through generations. Learn how local artisans use tree bark and natural dyes to tell symbolic stories of their culture and land.
After returning from the island, visit the Papua State Museum, where exhibits showcase the vibrant ethnic diversity of Papua, including tribal tools, textiles, and traditional musical instruments. Next, travel uphill to the McArthur Monument, built on the site where General Douglas MacArthur oversaw operations during World War II. The viewpoint offers stunning panoramic vistas over Jayapura, Lake Sentani, and the surrounding mountains.
Before heading back to port, enjoy a stop at Danau Cinta (Love Lake), a peaceful heart-shaped lake nestled among rolling hills. This itinerary is thoughtfully curated to offer meaningful cultural insight without strenuous activity, making it ideal for mature cruise guests. Thank you for exploring with Shore Excursions Asia!
