TESTIMONIES

"Si vous prévoyez un voyage de pêche en Papouasie avec Olivier n'oubliez pas vos pilules pour le cœur en prévision des attaques supersoniques de vos poppers par les fantastiques et surpuissants papuan bass ! Plus qu'un voyage c'est une expédition de pêche en territoire papou dans des paysages grandioses avec un vrai parfum d'aventure !"

"Our trip to Papua in October 2024 can be summarized full of lifetime memories. Not only the fishing was spectacular, the scenery and remoteness turned it into an unforgetable adventure. Though we went to some very remote places, everything was very well organised and Olivier made sure everyone had a great time and everything was arrranged properly from the moment we landed, until the moment we flew back.

Fishing wise, it is one of the best places I've ever been to and for sure the most spectacular one. Get ready to have your topwater lures get hammered! In saltwater, giant trevally and many other species made my poppers look unrecognisable by the end of the trip. However, the papuan bass took our lures with even more violence. By the end of the trip I've added over 11 species to my resumé and even more great experiences, such as swimming with whale sharks, visiting local villages and staying on beautiful islands. In short, I can't wait to get back!"

"Last year I joined a fishing trip to West-Papua, and it turned out to be one of the most adventurous and memorable journeys I’ve ever made. The landscapes were breathtaking, wild rivers and untouched jungle.

The highlight of the trip was definitely targeting Papuan bass. These fish are incredibly strong and aggressive, giving a fight like no other species I’ve ever experienced. Landing one felt like a true achievement and created memories I’ll never forget.

What really stood out was how well everything was organized by Olivier. The logistics, the guiding, and the local arrangements were all taken care of, which allowed us to fully enjoy the fishing and the adventure. I always felt safe and well looked after, even in the remote areas.

If you are looking for a once in a lifetime adventure, combining wild nature with amazing sport fishing, I can highly recommend a trip with Olivier."
