Why take this tour?

The Premium trek itinerary allows trekkers to maximise the value of their pilgrimage. The trek includes a visit to all battlefields, fire support bases, logistic areas and evacuation centres along the original Kokoda Trail. In addition we take a day to explore the mystical, historical Myola lakes which were considered to be tabu by the local Koiari tribes from the beginning of time until 1942. We also trek across to the eastern side of the range that was defended by the 53rd and 2/16th Battalions. We provide superior battlefield presentations regarding the strategy of the Kokoda campaign; the phases of war; the principles applicable to each phase; our battlefield tactics; and soldiers recollections. We follow the original wartime trail mapped by the Royal Australian Army Survey Corps in 1981 and rediscovered through numerous mapping expeditions led by Major Charlie Lynn over a three year period from 2010 - 2013.
