From the moment we embarked on our journey with True North's Mysteries of Melanesia, it was clear that we were in for an extraordinary experience. The trip was nothing short of magical, immersing us in the rich culture and breathtaking landscapes of Melanesia. One of the highlights of the trip was our stop at the Bougainville atoll. The untouched beauty of this place was truly mesmerising. The crystal-clear waters, the vibrant marine life, and the warm hospitality of the local people made our visit to Bougainville a memory to cherish. Our visit to the Trobriand atolls was equally memorable. Known as the 'Islands of Love', the Trobriand atolls offered a unique insight into the local culture and traditions. The picturesque scenery, combined with the fascinating history of the islands, made our stay in the Trobriand atolls an enriching experience. A special mention must be made of our guide, Simon Tewson. His extensive local knowledge and experience greatly enhanced our trip. Simon's passion for the region and its culture was evident in his every interaction, making our journey all the more engaging and informative. The service provided by the True North team was outstanding. Every member of the crew was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had the best experience possible. Their knowledge of the region and its history added depth to our adventure, making it not just a trip, but a truly educational experience. The food was another highlight of the trip. Each meal was a culinary delight, with a variety of dishes that catered to every palate. The quality of the ingredients, the presentation of the food, and the skill of the chefs were truly commendable. It was clear that a lot of thought and care had been put into each dish, making every mealtime a special occasion. In conclusion, True North's Mysteries of Melanesia trip is a must-do for anyone seeking a unique travel experience. The combination of outstanding service, delicious food, and an immersive cultural experience makes it a journey worth taking. We returned home with our hearts full and our minds enriched. Thank you, True North, for an unforgettable adventure! (less)
