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!
- Accommodation in Port Moresby - 2 Nights at Ela Beach Hotel
- Transport - To Ower's Corner and around Port Moresby (half day)
- Trekking content - Brigade Hill Mission Tours (Guides, Porters and accommodation)
- Food - Supplied by our trusted supplier in Port Moresby "Boroko Foodworld"
