点评:The Sepik River is definitely worth a visit. Is a very special area of PNG, with traditions very much alive. But chose well the guide to take you because you will be dependent of him, and definitely DO NOT GO WITH CYRIL TARA!! He cannot be trusted!
We found him here on tripadvisor, on the first contact he was quick to answer, sending photos, had a very good price, but everything ended up bad....we had a deal to send a part of the money first and pay the rest in person, some time after he asked to send more money, and just a week before we arrived he wrote saying that there was some problem and now the trip was more expensive and we had to give him more money. At this point we were afraid to lose everything we already paid so we agreed. During the trip we ended up eating very badly (sharing 1 can of tuna with bread full of mold, and rice with instant nodles) we were left in the boat in the middle of heavy rain because they run out of petrol, and the worst of all is that ALL OUR MONEY DISAPPEARED from our bags!! And the only time we left the bags unattended was when we were having dinner at Cyrils house, at his village of Kamanibit. The house where we stay is right in front of his house, in the family property, and he is the only person going in and out while we are outside eating at the table. We spoke with him, but he did not seemed shocked with the news or did much to help, I wonder why......The place has no doors or locks, the toilet smells horribly from 10m away, and to finish the terrible experience, we got bed bugs!!!!
Also, at the end, we heard some horrible things about him and things that he has done to previous clients. So please be safe, do not make the same mistake as we did. Do not trust this man, he is not a good person!
翻译:塞皮克河绝对值得一游。它是巴布亚新几内亚一个非常特别的地区,保留着浓厚的传统文化。但一定要选择好导游,因为你会完全依赖他,千万不要选择西里尔·塔拉!!他不可信!
我们在猫途鹰上找到了他,第一次联系他时,他回复很快,还发了照片,价格也很合理,但最终一切都搞砸了……我们约定好先汇一部分钱,剩下的当面付清,过了一段时间他要求汇更多钱,就在我们到达前一周,他写信说出了点问题,现在行程更贵了,我们不得不给他更多钱。当时我们担心已经付清的钱会全部打水漂,所以就同意了。旅途中我们吃得非常糟糕(分享了一罐金枪鱼和满是霉菌的面包,米饭和方便面)。我们被留在了暴雨中的船上,因为船没油了,最糟糕的是,我们所有的钱都从行李里消失了!!我们唯一一次把行李放在无人看管的地方是我们在 Cyrils 家吃晚饭的时候,他的家在 Kamanibit 村。我们住的房子就在他家门前,是家族财产,我们在外面吃饭的时候,他是唯一进出的人。我们和他谈过,但他似乎对这个消息并不感到震惊,也没有提供什么帮助,我很好奇为什么……这个地方没有门也没有锁,厕所在 10 米外就散发出难闻的气味,更糟糕的是,我们遇到了臭虫!!!最后,我们还听到了一些关于他以及他对以前客户所做的事情的可怕事情。所以请你注意安全,不要犯和我们一样的错误。不要相信这个人,他不是个好人!
