Adventure Kokoda is owned by Charlie Lynn, an Australian who is committed to the legacy of Kokoda Track commemorating the deeds of Australian veterans and the Papua New Guineans involved in the Kokoda Campaign of World War Two.
The primary objective of Adventure Kokoda is to lead trekkers safely across the Kokoda Trail and ensure they have an enjoyable and informative experience.
They follow the entire 138 km of the original wartime trail.
wartime historical knowledge of our trek leaders is unsurpassed.
They conduct a formal commemorative Dawn Service at the Isurava War Memorial.
They are the only trekking company to explore the extensive grassland plateaus of Lake Myola 1 and 2, to visit historic wartime sites including the US Army P40 Kittyhawk fighter plane that crashed on the northern edge of the big lake.
They provide hearty cooked meals (courtesy of our trek catering crew) – and fly in fresh resupplies to our Bombers Campsite half-way along the trail.
They provide a roomy mosquito proof tent for each of our individual trekkers.
They provide more philanthropic support to villagers along the trail than all other trekking companies combined via the Network Kokoda Not-for-Profit company we established.
To achieve this goal Adventure Kokoda engages professional trek leaders, many with leadership experience in the Australian Army.
Adventure Kokoda’s operations and trek logistics are managed by Sogeri Lodge owner Warren Bartlett – a former ‘kiap’ (Australian colonial patrol officer). Sogeri Lodge is equipped with a VHF radio base station, satellite phones, landlines and back-up power. Radios and satellite phones are manned on a 24 hour basis when Adventure Kokoda groups are on the Track.
