Tour Description:
The Kokoda March trek is conducted at a very moderate pace. Challenging? Yes but with a rest day at Digger's Camp, our trekker will be able to relax for a day at Myola Plain where they can visit the grounds of the famous airfield and ruins left behind from Kitty hawks and Biscuit bombers. In addition, we recommend our trekkers bring along a fishing line as the rivers and creeks at Myola present some great spots to catch local rainbow trout.
Walking in the direction of the "Australian Adavnce" this trek provides an ample amount of time to really enjoy the experience of walking the Kokoda Track and all the battlefield sites, villages and local indigenous people and their fascinating Melanesian way of life.

Trek Structure
- 1:1 Trekker to Porter - All trekkers will be assigned a personal porter. This aims to promote relationship building between porters and trekkers, enhance safety and well being of trekkers and to assist in reaching the ultimate goal of completing the entire track.
- Tour Guide - Each group will be assigned a local tour guide who will be responsible for communication with home base, decision making on the track and liaising between his Lead man (2ic), porters and trekkers. The tour guide is the caretaker of money and is responsible for payments to all villages.
- Compressed formation - The compressed formation keeps the trekking group tightly bonded. This assists the porters, guide and lead man to closely monitor trekkers conditioning. By keeping the group close together, we believe that the team factor and impetus will drive trekkers harder to reach the end goal - Kokoda!
