Alan Tillyer (Yacht Delivery Skipper) - "Strewth"
 | Hi Kori, The crew onboard "Strewth" - Alan, Chas and David would like to thank you and your father for making our stopover in Rabaul so easy and pleasant. We had a good passage down to Mackay with Geoff, although there were a couple of slow days down round Rossel Island. After that we had a great sail into Mackay. Thanks again, Alan |
Terry Boxhall & Felicity Paton - On Board Marina Svetaeva
 | Hello Kori We have just returned from travelling with Aurora Expeditions in PNG and would like to thank you and Ben for all your assistance at both Port Moresby airport (on the way to Alotau) and then later at Rabaul airport (on the way home!). At times you were both operating above and beyond the call of duty and we were most appreciative of this. We had a great time being introduced to PNG and are hoping that it will not be too long before we make a return trip. We came home on the new flight Sydney to Port Moresby direct in 3 1/2 hours so we certainly now know how close PNG is! Thank you once again for making this a most memorable experience. Best wishes to you and good luck with South Sea Horizons. Felicity Paton & Terry Boxall |

 | "Thanks heaps for the time up in Rabaul! Had the best time ever up there, couldnt have asked for a better holiday experience, with the scuba diving, game fishing, sight seeing, and just cruising around in general and getting a feel for the culture of the place, was absolutely awesome! The hospitality you and Al showed myself and the others boys was second to none and we were constantly being impressed as there was never a boring moment. I can't speak highly enough of my time up there and the great time i had and all of the experiences i encountered. Have been telling everyone!" |
Brent McKean – Great Walks Magazine (Editor)
 | "South Sea Horizon's Lark Force Wilderness Track is one hell of an adventure. You really appreciate what our soldiers went through as they evaded capture from the Japanese. It felt like we were the first people to walk through this pristine wilderness since WWII. Also it was great to hang out with the New Britain locals and see another way of life. I have a new appreciation for PNG." |
Thomas Cameron – Office of R. Mclelland, MP (Australia)
"PNG really is a holiday frontier for the 21st century. Rarely can the traveller find a getaway tropical sanctuary that still has the Indiana Jones touch. But South Sea Horizons know exactly where to find it, how to get you there and what to do during your stay. In a little over a week we trekked the Owen Stanley ranges, absorbed one of history's most remarkable battlefields, laughed our way through an impromptu soccer match with Kokoda locals, bathed next to an active volcano and caught enough fish to feed a small village. If you want a holiday that matches relaxation with action and culture with challenge - SSH will take care of it."
Benjamin Azar – Savills Property Group (Sydney)
 | The Lark Force Wilderness Walk was a very rewarding experience for me as I was able to retrace the footsteps taken by the the 2nd 22nd Battalion when they fled Rabaul during the Japanese invasion in World War II. The trek along with the many War Relics, Tol Memorial Plaque and Biti Paka War memorial allowed me to truly experience first hand the sacrifice many Australian soldiers made for the safety of our great nation. The fishing and diving in New Britain were some of the best I have ever done. The people were great and their hospitality was second to none. The New Britain Islands are a untouched part of the world located on Australia's door step, I recommend experiencing what this fantastic country has to offer. |
Tom Freeman – Macquarie Bank (Sydney)
 | "The Macquarie Bank Sports Program seeks to reach out to the youth in remote communities throughout Australia and the South Pacific. With the support of South Sea Horizons, and Kori’s unique knowledge and intimate relationship with PNG, we were able to access the beauty and purity of the untouched New Guinean landscape. The Melanesian people ooze a friendliness and genuine love for humanity that can only be found in these secluded places, which remain largely unblemished by the modern day world." |
Patrick Witter – Disc Brakes Australia (Sydney)
 | “My recent trip to New Britain was rich with tropical colour and adventure and complimented by the many friendly smiling faces that greeted me along the way. The Lark Force Wilderness Trek was a great challenge for me both mentally and physically which turned out to be the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. The estuary and blue water fishing at Baia Wilderness Lodge gave me the opportunity to sport fish for the infamous Black Bass which this time luckily evaded my lure but fishing in these waters is unlike any fishing I have ever done in Australia. South Sea Horizons provided me with a tour with a real a sense of adventure and an appreciation of local indigenous art and culture.” |
David Speers – Political Editor, Sky News Australia
"PNG is a hidden gem. Where else can you find adventure, traditional culture and a relaxing paradise all in the one place? And who better than South Sea Horizons to show you where to find it? These guys know what they’re doing. Whether we were in downtown Port Moresby, trecking the Kokoda Track or relaxing on a beach in Rabaul, we always knew we were in safe hands with SSH. They showed us where to find the best fishing, the most pristine beaches, the friendliest locals, some amazing war history and traditional culture. The annual mask festival in Rabaul was an unexpected highlight. No matter what you’re into, SSH will tailor a holiday that will blow you away."
