Kokoda Track

Reviewed By sicklad16

Trekking the Kokoda Trail was certainly the hardest challenge I had ever done, but the most rewarding thing I've ever done. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would, and I would recommend trekking it to everyone who can. It taught me how much I am capable of as a person, how to be a good leader, and gave me a greater appreciation for our Australian soldiers and especially their efforts during the Kokoda Campaign. Although the pilgrimage was extremely physically and especially mentally difficult, Adventure Kokoda and its lovely staff and boys helped us the whole way. Adventure Kokoda was a great operator and conducted themselves with great professionalism, and were incredibly organised, and they also care about their PNG boys and their wellbeing. The food was very good and the Bos Kuks and their helpers fed us extremely well. The adventure kokoda tents were great as well and lovely to get into at the end of the day. Although my trek rained every day, the leaders kept our spirits up and motivated us the whole way. Adventure Kokoda really cares about giving their trekkers the greatest experience possible and gave us all a much deeper understanding of the Kokoda Campaign and Australia's military history than I ever thought possible. Completing the trek is definitely something that every Australian should aspire to, and I would absolutely recommend Adventure Kokoda to help you with the experience.

Sepik River

Reviewed By UlrikeBauer - Munich, Germany

We visited PNG in September 2019 and part of our tour was a trip to the Sepik Region. Timmy was our guide throughout this time and made our trip very unique and special. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, professional and always had a smile on his face. The Sepik Region is a very magical place and we had an extra-ordinal adventure exceeding all our expectations (thanks to Timmy and last but not least to Dennis, Manu, all the village people and our driver „Senna"!). Chris and his team are very reliable and we would highly recommend PNG Frontier Adventures (we did not book directly via PNG Frontier Adventures, our trip was organized by Pym from Paiya Tours).

Mount Tavurvur

Reviewed By buka10 - Cairns, Australia

I knew this spot when it was paradise on earth. Now it is like hell on earth. But it is a MUST see when visiting Rabaul. The local village ladies are trying to make a living selling artifacts so if you do visit please help them by purchasing a few things. The wild fowl eggs cooked as you wait in the hot spring where fresh and tasted delicious and only K2. WOW
