Visiting the Trobriand Islands is advertized as being the highlight of a trip for tourists in Papua New Guinea who want, and can afford, to experience this “ultimate adventure” with “expeditionary cruises aboard the luxurious Melanesian Discoverer”. The advertizement also promises that the tourists can “meet the friendly people” and “observe their unique culture, dances and art”. This paper presents an encounter of such tourists with Trobriand Islanders, who sing and dance for the Europeans in Kaibola, a village on Kiriwina Island. The paper presents the texts of these songs, and their analysis reveals that the Trobriand Islanders, with their indigenous humour, use this encounter for various forms of self presentation, including ridiculing their visitors. It turns out that this encounter is another manifestation of the Trobriand Islanders’ self-consciousness, self-confidence, and pride with which they manage to protect core aspects of their cultural identity, while at the same time using and “selling” parts of their culture as a kind of commodity to tourists.
