FAST KOKODA TREKS – WHAT SHOULD TREKKERS CONSIDER?

Shorter Kokoda treks may cost less, but they can mean longer days and harder work for the local guides and carriers.

A cheaper, shorter trek might save the trekker money, but it’s the local carriers who pay the price.

Fast treks require PNG guides and carriers to cover greater distances and work longer hours to get trekkers across the Trail in less time.

We have suggested to the Kokoda Track Authority (KTA) that guides and carriers should receive a minimum of eight days' pay, even when a trek is completed sooner, to recognise the extra demands placed on them.

We believe a minimum of eight days is the right amount of time to experience Kokoda properly – to understand its history, appreciate its significance and respect the people who live and work along the Trail.

Kokoda is more than a trek to be completed as quickly and cheaply as possible. It’s a journey through our shared history, and the people who make it possible deserve fair treatment.

What are your thoughts?

KOKODA DAY

Adventure Kokoda Director Charlie Lynn shares the inspiration behind Kokoda Day — a vision to honour the service and sacrifice of the Papuan wartime carriers - the legendary ‘Fuzzy-Wuzzy Angels’ who helped save Australian soldiers during the Kokoda Campaign.

Read Charlie’s article in The National -

KOKODA DAY was proclaimed as an official day of commemoration in New South Wales by former Premier Dominic Perrottet in 2022.

On Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026, the Governor-General Sam Mostyn, will deliver the commemorative address for the service, which will be held at the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway, Concord.

The service will also be attended by Sir John Cardinal Ribat, Archbishop of Port Moresby.

Before You Book Kokoda, Check Your Operator's Credentials!

Is Adventure Kokoda a Licensed and Registered Tour Operator in Papua New Guinea?

Yes. Adventure Kokoda is licensed by the Kokoda Track Authority (KTA) and operates through Adventure Kokoda PNG, a locally incorporated company registered in Papua New Guinea.

We hold Foreign Enterprise Certification from the PNG Government and comply with the relevant requirements of the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) and the Internal Revenue Commission (IRC). We also hold an IRC Certificate of Compliance (CoC).

How can I check a tour operator’s credentials?

Before booking a Kokoda trek, ask your chosen operator to confirm that it holds a current KTA Commercial Operator Licence and meets the applicable PNG business registration, foreign enterprise certification and tax requirements.

You can check company registration details through the PNG Investment Promotion Authority register: https://www.ipa.gov.pg/corp/search.aspx

As information on the Kokoda Track Authority (KTA) website may not be up to date, we recommend verifying an operator’s credentials directly.

Why does this matter?

Choosing a properly licensed and registered operator helps you make an informed decision about the company responsible for your trek. Ask about safety procedures, risk management, insurance arrangements and the welfare of PNG guides and carriers.

At Adventure Kokoda, we believe responsible trekking begins with compliance, safety, accountability and respect for the people of Papua New Guinea.
