Cody Ruipo O.

Profession

I am an experienced local tour guide in Papua New Guinea with more than 16 years of experience. I specialize in authentic cultural and adventure tours, introducing visitors to the rich traditions, spectacular landscapes, and unique tribal communities of the Highlands and other regions of Papua New Guinea. My goal is to provide safe, memorable, and meaningful travel experiences while helping guests connect with local people, culture, and history. I take pride in sharing the true spirit of my country and creating unforgettable journeys for every traveler.

My Tour Style

My tour style is authentic, interactive, and culturally immersive. With over 16 years of experience as a local guide in Papua New Guinea, I take guests beyond the usual tourist attractions and introduce them to the real life, traditions, and customs of our people.

I believe in creating meaningful experiences through genuine cultural exchange. Guests don't just watch performances—they take part in traditional activities such as bamboo cooking, mumu (ground oven) cooking, village walks, traditional fire-making, target shooting, and meeting local communities. Every tour is relaxed, informative, and tailored to help visitors understand the rich cultural diversity of Papua New Guinea.

My goal is for every guest to leave with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation of the unique cultures and landscapes of Papua New Guinea.

Why I Enjoy Guiding Travellers

I enjoy guiding travellers because it gives me the opportunity to share the beauty, culture, and traditions of Papua New Guinea with people from around the world. Every tour is a chance to introduce visitors to our unique way of life and help them experience authentic village culture.

Meeting people from different countries is always rewarding. I enjoy learning about their cultures while sharing my own, creating friendships and unforgettable memories along the way.

As a local guide with more than 16 years of experience, I take pride in helping visitors feel welcome, safe, and inspired. Seeing my guests leave with smiles, new knowledge, and a genuine appreciation for Papua New Guinea is the most rewarding part of my job. It motivates me to continue sharing the incredible people, landscapes, and traditions of my country with every traveller I meet.
