The Fire dance Tradition is a special showcase of Baining culture in the East New Britain Province and is only performed in the evening. You will be transported to Gaulim village deep in the mountains of East New Britain.
As night descends on Gaulim, a towering bonfire will be lit for one of the most spectacular dances ever witnessed in Papua New Guinea, where initiated Baining men wearing extraordinary masks and enchanted by forest spirits dance evocatively through the flames and embers.
The Firedance Festival is organised in partnership with the Baining community of East New Britain and is strictly performed in the village to encourage the protection of this sacred ritual.
Please Note: The venue for this performance is an open grassy field where there is no shelter. Guests are required to take the necessary precautions for the weather conditions. This tour is not wheelchair accessible.
