  I recently completed an 8 day Trek with Adventure Kokoda with (my daughter) Jake and Jessie as our trek leaders. On reflection this was by far and away the hardest and most challenging,rewarding thing I have ever done. We were thrown up more then most challenges on the trail, which were overcome to the credit of Jake & Jessie. If I could pass on some learnings to those considering the Kokoda, training! Don’t underestimate what AK suggest, and do more! Keep your pack as light as possible and check, check and re- check so as not carry to much, as I did ! To the porters and support crew, these guys were amazing,and help make the trip memorable on so many levels! And as some-one said in passing while we’re on our way to Kokoda, look up!! Enjoy the what the Kokoda trail offers both in a brutal history and aesthetics. To my fellow trekkers we arrived as strangers bound by age,gender,occupation,associations or reason for being there,but we left as mates!

• Beautiful and hard hike with excellent support from Adventure Kokoda.

  The Kokoda track features a strenuous hike in beautiful rainforest and immerses you in deep World War II history. I did the 8 day trek with Adventure Kokoda, and was very happy with the logistics, organization, support, and the attention to detail. Besides the well organized trip, on a personal level I had some special circumstances that Adventure Kokoda helped with. They were kind enough to apply the deposit of my wife’s trip to my fees as she could not join. They arranged a Port Moresby tour showing highlights of the city, since I had arrived a day early, they helped with selecting and packing my gear, getting the tea tree oil and antifungal creams which turned out to be essential for the trip. Adventure Kokoda has operated this adventure hike for a very long time, and are a well-established company with very good staff, and I highly recommend you consider going with them if you’re choosing to enjoy this adventure.

  From paying a pre Covid deposit in 2020 this trip became a reality in 2022. Throughout the pre-trip period we were able to keep in contact with Tracie at Adventure Kokoda (AK), right up until we met at the Port Moresby airport by Reg Yates, our trek guide . He was very informative regarding different historical aspects of the Kokoda trek, but also related personally with me & my fellow trekkers, checking on how we were going & handling the daily conditions. My personal porter Josh with LLoyd & Knoxie helped me through each day to get to the nightly basecamp safely as I was slower than the rest, particularly when it rained coming off a steep ridge & nightfall closed in. To make it safely to the basecamp that night with torches, although late is something I will never forget. AK had a fine group of porters with their friendliness & willingness to help all throughout the trek. They were supplied with a colourful uniform, which seemed to be worn with pride. I understand AK looks after their crew personally with clothing, food, wages and also provide help to their villages along the trail. This seems to be appreciated by the porters. At lunchtime on day 7 my circumstances & health changed & AK organised my evacuation back to Port Moresby through Charlie Lynn early the following morning without any drama. My prime objective was to be able to visit Bomana Cemetery before leaving PNG & their man Tau in Port Moresby took me out there later in the afternoon to fulfil family wishes. It would be amiss of me not to thank AK on how my journey unfolded, having trekked 7 days, be evacuated, yet still make the visit to the Cemetery & then re-join the rest of the group that night to travel home the next day together. I highly recommend AK as the company to trek with.

  This was by far the most challenging and rewarding experience of have ever faced . The emotions that I could not contain,when at the end of a long day trek you approach the open space of the Isurava memorial site .Still tear up thinking about it . For anyone contemplating the trek .Your safety is by far the most important part of the trek and thats Kokoda adventures top priority. I always felt 100% safe the entire tour start to finsh . I will be back

  This was without a doubt a highlight of my life. It was absolutely awesome and I am so happy that I did it. Every aspect of this trek was planned, organised and carried out perfectly. I had read several books about the Kokoda campaign and I thought that I was quite familiar with it. However, the detailed and extensive knowledge that our trek leader Reg Yates imparted was incredible. He told us what happened at every battle site and at other places along the track. The PNG support crew was exceptional. They were so caring and they could not do enough for us. Adventure Kokoda has a close working relationship with the PNG porters and carriers and the mutual respect was obvious. It really felt like I was a member of one big family. I highly recommend Adventure Kokoda as the company to go with for anyone think of undertaking this trek.

  I have just recently completed an 8 day trek with Adventure Kokoda. Everything had been taken care of from the airport shuttles, to the tents, food, and a great attitude. I would highly recommend Adventure Kokoda to anyone wanting to do the trail themselves, I wouldnt go with anybody else

  I recently completed the Kokoda Track between 8-16 September 2022. I am not an experienced trekker and found the team at Adventure Kokoda outstanding. Their tips for physical preparation and equipment in the lead up were spot on. They looked after us from our touchdown at Port Moresby airport on 8/9 until they dropped us back there on 16/9. I felt safe and well informed for my entire journey. We were provided with healthy/hearty meals throughout the trek. They were prepared hygienically, and I never got sick along the way. We did source some produce from local villages such as fruit and scones but only after the head cook, approved it first. He was very mindful of our well being. Our trek leader, Peter Davis, had an infectious enthusiasm for the military history of the Kokoda campaign. His knowledge was incredible not only keeping us well informed of sights to see but also what to expect each and every day whilst on the track including expectations of the upcoming terrain. He was in daily communication with the Brisbane head quarters about our group which enabled them to provide regular updates on their Facebook page so my family back at home could see where we camped but also know we were safe. He was also able to relay a message to me from Australia regarding a sick relative. We were then able to make contact with the family whilst on the trail. Regarding safety, Peter Davis went above and beyond to call in a ‘medivac’ to airlift a trekker (in distress) who was with another company back to Port Moresby. This other company did not carry any communications equipment and had left the young trekker with a porter to make their own way back to Owers Corner. Well done, Peter! I would recommend any future trekker to use Adventure Kokoda.
