The Premium trek itinerary allows trekkers to maximise the value of their pilgrimage. The trek includes a visit to all battlefields, fire support bases, logistic areas and evacuation centres along the original Kokoda Trail. In addition we take a day to explore the mystical, historical Myola lakes which were considered to be tabu by the local Koiari tribes from the beginning of time until 1942. We also trek across to the eastern side of the range that was defended by the 53rd and 2/16th Battalions. We provide superior battlefield presentations regarding the strategy of the Kokoda campaign; the phases of war; the principles applicable to each phase; our battlefield tactics; and soldiers recollections. We follow the original wartime trail mapped by the Royal Australian Army Survey Corps in 1981 and rediscovered through numerous mapping expeditions led by Major Charlie Lynn over a three year period from 2010 - 2013.

I completed the Kokoda trek through Adventure Kokoda and it was truely amazing. Charlie Lynn is so inspiring and full of knowledge. He was so patient and offered so much support the entire trek. The porters were always there whenever I needed support or encouragement. I never felt alone. Their smiles and friendly chats will always be a favourite memory I’ve taken away from my experience. The food was always great better than I’d ever had expected. There was always plenty and I never went hungry! Conditions of the campsites were kept to the highest standards. I’ve made wonderful friends. I also got an insight into what our Australian soldiers had to endure in World War Two and i will always be grateful for their sacrifice. I highly recommend this life changing experience to everyone and most importantly I strongly recommend adventure Kokoda. Charlie and his team made the whole experience from start to finish, memorable and one I’m so grateful for. I’d do it again with adventure Kokoda and Charlie!

Our Kokoda Trail Treks are led by a PNG trek leader and designed for groups who want to experience the physical challenge of the Kokoda Trail across the original wartime route. While our PNG trek leaders are masters of their environment and will get you safely across the trail they only have a superficial understanding of the Kokoda campaign strategy and battlefield tactics. They have been leading treks across the trail for more than 10 years and are well respected by the Koiari and Orokaiva clan leaders across the trail. Each of our Kokoda Trail Trek group has a PNG medic trained in First Aid - they also carry two VHF radios and a SatPhone and have 24/7 back up from our base at Sogeri. These treks are best suited for a bunch of mates on a budget who want to experience the physical challenge of the Kokoda Trail and the camaraderie that goes with it. We require a minimum of eight (8) trekkers for these groups.

After one week of nice fishing in Coral see we (3 persons from Lithuania) had 2 days free being in Port Moresby. We were interested in PNG nature and wildlife, so we decided to take 2 days tours led by New Guinea Natural Tours and guided by Daniel Wakra. It was really great ! Daniel was really brilliant: was very clear, honest, sincere, objective, with the deep knowledge in all areas, eg. in the area of bird life - he is encyclopedia. We got a full and realistic picture of the Papua New Guinea. He is real representative of his own country. Many thanks to you Daniel. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to anybody who needs an advice about Papua New Guinea.

This was one of the onshore activities offered by our P&O cruise when visiting Alotau. It was the only full-day excursion possible. It took an hour by a small bus/coach to drive to the jetty to board a large dive boat to access the Tavali Dive Resort which was about an hour away. The boat trip was quite nice as we got to see some of the coastline of Milne Bay. Once we arrived at the jetty of the Dive resort, we snorkeled the small bay next to the jetty as the reef was just there, on the shore virtually. The coral was quite pretty with a few fish, including small clownfish. The water was crystal clear and warm. After an hour of snorkeling, we had a tour of the resort itself including some of the rooms, and then were offered a smorgasbord lunch. The lunch deck was picturesque with lovely views to the ocean through the tropical landscape. After we set off again by boat, another 20 mins along the coast to alight by dinghy to the shore where Skull Cave was in the sandstone cliff rock, about 50m from the shore. A few locals were there and had set up some small stalls to sell their wares. Unfortunately, not many of us had local (kina) currency with us to offer them. The cave was quite amazing, full of human skulls dating back to WWII. We were offered to touch them and pick them up to pose for photos, but I just felt this was a little too familiar and irreverent. But it was worth visiting and listening to the story behind the cave. All in all, it was a full day, and an enjoyable one. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Apparently the diving around there is quite good, with WWII wrecks, some pelagic fish/sharks and at times manta rays and whale sharks. But the resort is not particularly cheap to stay at and being remote, access is by flying into Alotau and then by boat.

7. ADVENTURE KOKODA 8 Day History Trek Australian Led
Led by an expert Australian guide our Kokoda History Treks follow the footsteps of the brave as they fought one of the most desperate series of battles across the Owen Stanley Ranges from Kokoda to the doorstep of Port Moresby at Imita Ridge.

They understand the Principles of War; the strategy of the Kokoda campaign; and the tactics of each battle which they will explain at each site.
