South Sea Horizons has partnered with the Mark Hughes Foundation for their Kokoda Track adventure in 2024. This partnership highlights a shared commitment to community development and making a meaningful impact between PNG and Australia.

The collaboration raises awareness and funds for brain cancer while creating much-needed sustainable employment opportunities and empowering local communities along the Kokoda Track.

As a 100% Papua New Guinean-owned tour operator, South Sea Horizons is proud to be at the forefront of community development and sustainable tourism. We can't wait to embark on this adventure with the Mark Hughes Foundation team.

Iarqi – (Ya- RR – Yee)

Papua New Guinea is a land so diverse and filled with many cultures and spiritual beliefs. Many Papua New Guinea cultures relate to villagers and their relationships with the forests they inhabit. In the East New Britain Forests, Papua New Guinea, a spirit called the Iargi is believed to have healing powers and occasionally visits the Uramot people.

When a person within the village is terminally ill, the villagers summon the Iarqi spirit for its healing powers. The spirit figure will appear only if the villagers have paid their bounty to the forests. Circling around the patient three times, the Iarqi produces a medicinal potion brought in a bamboo vessel.

After administering the medicinal potion, the sick person is healed and is believed to immediately rise up from his death bed. The healing potion is then available for others in the village who need healing in return for food offerings. When performing, you will see women bringing their young children toward the Iarqi for a blessing.

Traditionally, the Iarqi dance is performed after the Sirivitki dance, the first of the two dances that precede the leading dance of an evening, the Linganga (firedance).
