The park had been closed for a few weeks because of a strike and when we tried our luck again, the gates were still closed. It was already 10AM when the guardian showed up - he had overslept himself.
The people working (and guiding) in the park have no clue about birds or where you can best go to try and spot them. We were sent from left to right and by the time we managed to put the puzzle together, it was too late to start another walk.

We organised our visit independently with Edwin at the park's HQ in POM. Our guide was Morgan who was a great guy and found lots of birds for us. The Raggiana BoPs were displaying between 06:30-07:15 roughly. Then we went back to the main picnic grounds with the taxi and did a few short walks to see more birds. Visibility is great, lots of lorikeets flying overhead. Many birds in the surrounding trees. Taxi from POM for a day trip was 300 Kina for full day hire, pick up at hotel at 05:00 and dropped at museum around 14:00. We brought sandwich fixings for a picnic lunch. There are no cafes or restaurants in the park.

Varirata - это первый национальный парк, открытый в 1973г. Находится недалеко от столицы на возвышенности 800 метров. Открываются неплохие виды на город и окрестности.

Varirata is an hour out of Port Moresby. It’s a lovely drive, once you leave the city, with some hair-raising hairpin turns. The huge Park is probably the easiest place in PNG to see Birds of Paradise. Raggiana BOP were displaying when we there. There is no hunting in this huge park so the birds are UN afraid, in contrast to elsewhere in PNG. The huge park has many trails up the many hills. We saw few other visitors and few staff. There is a good road. The visitor center was under renovation, but the surrounding picnic area is lovely.

I recently returned from Papua New Guinea where I visited Variata National Park with Daniel Wakra from New Guinea Natural Tours (danielwakra@yahoo.com).
Mr Wakra was very informative speaking perfect english and having a really good understanding of the nature and bird life. It didnt take him long to find the Birds of Paradise for me - being the National bird of Papua New Guinea. We found at least 6 in total.
The park itself was well looked after with spectacular views back towards Port Moresby from the Main look out point 833 meters above sea level.
After leaving the park - my guide took me the Kokoda Track which was nearby.
I highly recommend Daniel Wakra (from New Guinea Natural Tours) to other tourists visiting Papua New Guinea. Contact him directly rather than going through the multiple third party booking websites who take 20% of funds.
To contact Mr Wakra directly email: danielwakra@yahoo.com or message/whatsapp him directly at: +675 768 80978
He speaks perfect english and loves his nature and knows all the birds and where to find them.
He can also organise Port Moresby city tours for you. Contacting him directly will save you $$$$ as things are already pretty expensive in Papua New Guinea. (Many prices are on parr with western prices if not more expensive!!).

Pleasant views, enjoyed the trek to the waterfall. The Information Centre needs to be renovated and one of the main park areas had some rubbish. Otherwise, visits to the Koiari tree house, the main lookout and waterfall were highlights for me.

Is very suitable for those who dream about nature and wildlife especially birds. The best way to go there is to be guided by the local expert of birds - it really helps.

This is the only large national park in Papua New Guinea. It is about an hour and a half's drive from Port Moresby, the drive itself being very enjoyable. We went there on a bird-watching trip. The park is well tended by local people and part of it offers splendid views of the surrounding countryside and coast. We found it easy to get around but the bird-watching was difficult, like in so much of PNG. It is, though, a beautiful park to visit.

This forest is bursting at the seams with birds. A clean, well maintained park, as well. Stupendous lookout area. Bring binoculars & a bird guide to maximise enjoyment. Peaceful & quiet, yet only an hour's drive from Port Moresby. Try to go with Daniel Wakra if you can! Go early in the day, preferably at dawn.

Wonderful piece of nature. Great viewing point at the end of the road in. Super for birdwatching. The local population go there to barbecue so not quiet all the time but still won't affect the experience.
If you are going to PNG then try to take this in and enjoy the stunning scenery.

Can I hire a guide for birdwatching at the Park entrance, or do I have to make different arrangements?
Thanks for your help
Escrita el 30 de septiembre de 2016
I am so sorry, I read your message only now...
We hired him at the park entrance and actually, he hired us.. :=))
But it was about 12 years ago...
If I were you I would just go there very early in the morning when you'll have plenty of help and enough time to take you decisions...
I hope I helped in time...
