Seven important points of difference to note with Adventure Kokoda:
- Adventure Kokoda founder, Major Charlie Lynn, was inducted as an 'Officer of Logohu' by the PNG Government in 2015 for his pioneering work in developing pilgrimage tourism across the Kokoda Trail over the previous 25 years – a rare honour for a foreign citizen.
- Adventure Kokoda has been rated as the No. 1 trekking company by TripAdvisor for the past 9 consecutive years.
- Our trek leaders have a combined total of 160 years professional military service and have led more than 750 expeditions across the Kokoda Trail over the past 33 years - their emergency expedition skills and wartime historical knowledge of the Kokoda campaign is unsurpassed.
- We follow the entire 138 km original wartime trail; we explore the extensive grassland plateaus of Lake Myola 1 and 2 to visit historic wartime sites in the area; we conduct a solemn Dawn Service at the Isurava War Memorial; and we present detailed historic presentations at each battle site.
- We are the only trekking company to employ an equal number of guides and porters from each village across the Trail to enhance the cultural benefit of the pilgrimage for our trekkers.
- We engage an advance PNG campsite support crew to carry your individual tent forward each day and set them up while our catering crew prepares, cooks and serves your meals.
- We provide more philanthropic support to villagers across the Kokoda Trail than all other Kokoda trekking companies combined through our Network Kokoda charity.
