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.
Don’t be fooled by the name, this is no adventure park with rollercoaster rides waiting, but rather a fun park including a small zoo.
Here you’ll find most of Papua’s iconic birds and animals such as the Ragianna bird-of-paradise with its dazzling colors and plumage, the daunting saltwater crocodiles, the flamboyant Victoria Crowned pigeons and much more. The resplendent garden of orchids is a star attraction. Take note of the crocodile feeding time (Saturday & Sunday at 3pm), a spectacle in itself.
Adventure seekers should not miss the crocodile feeding
There are winding pathways to other attractions like the Wildlife Sanctuary, water slides for kids and a Ferris wheel, picnic sites and man-made ponds filled with fish. You can hire rods and reels from the shop to fish yourself, a fun activity for the entire family.
Indulge in an afternoon walk in the park, one of the best ways to relax in Port Moresby. Don’t be surprised to run into couples taking pictures on their wedding day. The handsome grounds are as picturesque as they are inviting. Admission is free, besides the rides you wish to go on.
Landtours Is an intimate and intriguing tour so you can see PNG culture and the people of Alotau. You will visit two villages and one of the families makes things out of the bark of trees. They are also located in the area where the war started as you will see. We also go to the War Memorial and Markets and the lookout, so you can get whole picture of our town. Some of our visitors request the hospital and we go there too. It is so different then the western world and very encouraging how the family is so involved in making their family member comfortable.
At the other village we discuss culture and traditions ie pigs, baggies, betel nut and show you how to make beautiful coconut cream. Its like what you buy in a can, but when its fresh its so much better. They also provide us with a traditional snack. Yummy..
The tour would not be complete without a visit to the local bush school where the students dance and entertain you. And seeing the classroom with the teachers writing on a blackboard will take some of you back in time. The students are well behaved too which these very dedicated teachers appreciate. Lastly,we go to the most beautiful beach.
Our tours are half and full day. We have a new Toyota 15 seater bus for your comfort with air condition.

The remote and sparsely populated South-Western corner of Papua New Guinea is home to our most isolated Wilderness Lodge – Bensbach. Unlike most of the country there are no towering mountains, no waterfalls, only wide, sweeping flood plains abundant with all forms of wildlife.
Bensbach is our premier wildlife location in PNG. The grasslands teem with herds of deer, wallabies, snakes and monitor lizards and the flood plains are a vital stopping point for migratory birds on their incredible journey between their breeding grounds to the North and their feeding areas in the Southern Hemisphere. Curlew Sandpipers, Ruddy Turnstones (which breed in Arctic Siberia) and Yellow Wagtails (which breed in Eurasia) are some of our more special visitors fond here.
The wetlands are also home to massive flocks of pelicans, pygmy geese and sea eagles and other raptors hunt fish from the skies above. A complete list of the 191 different species of birds that have been recorded at Bensbach lodge is available here.
Life at Bensbach however, is not only abundant above the water. Bensbach is a sport fisherman’s paradise -renowned as one of the Barramundi capitals of the world. Catering to the serious angler as well as those who just want to experience catching one of these magnificent fighting fish, Bensbach practices sustainable catch-and-release fishing and only what is needed for that nights’ meal is kept.
Stands of malaluca (paper bark eucalypts) provide building materials for the local people and the bark is used as insulation in traditional ovens. Sago and yams are the staples of the Bensbach people, storing their yams for up to six months at a time in yam houses, this seasonal crop is the life blood of the Bensbach people.
Bensbach accommodates up to sixteen guests in two separate wings, each linked to the main lodge building that houses the dining area, a well stocked bar and comfortable lounge. The lodge is built entirely from local materials, adapted to the tastes and comfort of its visitors with 220V electricity, ceiling fans and hot and cold water. The dinner menu features delicious freshly caught Bensbach Barramundi and venison purchased from local hunters.
