TREK KOKODA
WHY TREK WITH US
A TRIP TO REMEMBER:
When choosing to trek with us, you can trust that your safety and well-being are our top priorities. The Kokoda Track presents a challenging and physically demanding journey in a remote setting, emphasising the crucial need for a highly qualified trek medic. Our dedicated medic is equipped to handle emergencies, administering a range of medical care, from intravenous life-saving drugs to hydration and critical care. Beyond tending to trek participants, our trek medic provides essential medical aid to local guides and villagers in need along the way.
At the heart of our trekking experience is a deep connection with the local guides, hailing from the villages along the Kokoda Track. We consider them as our brothers and sisters, treating them with the utmost respect and care throughout the journey. All our local guides receive compensation above the award rate set by the Kokoda Track Authority, recognising their invaluable role in representing the spirit of their ancestors, the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels of 1942. By supporting and fostering a strong bond with our local guides, we honour their contribution, ensuring a meaningful and rewarding experience for trekkers as they learn about their lives, culture, and witness their kindness and resilience firsthand.
