Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your Kokoda Treks Cost?

Its costs $4200 RRP (not including personal porter costs) to trek Kokoda with us, that said we run many specials to help make it cost effective for you. At present we have a sale on all treks for $3900pp (Not including personal porter costs)

What do I get for that fee?

You can see what is included in the cost structure at "Inclusions and Exclusions" at the bottom of this page and also on this website page "Trek Kokoda".

So what isn't included in that fee?

 You can see what is excluded in the cost structure at "Inclusions and Exclusions" at the bottom of this page and also on this website page "Trek Kokoda".

How do I place a deposit?

This is easy, simply deposit 10% of the fee into BSB 064-087 Account number 10185870 in the name of 100 Percent Kokoda referencing your name and the month of the trek. We can do card transactions, but these have a 2% bank fee. Noting how much you are paying for this trek, the fee can be excessive, hence we guide people to the bank transfer. 

Do I get anything after I place a deposit?

You sure do! We send you a welcome pack that contains a hat, shirt, a bag of nutrition to use in training or on the track plus all of the administration and information you require to be ready to trek.

What if I change my mind after I place my deposit?

No worries! If you change your mind just let us know, as long as its prior to six weeks before your trek we reimburse your money. If its within six weeks, you can transfer it to another trek with 12 months. 

Do I need to hire a personal porter?

This is up to you. We recommend that you use this service for more than the assistance that he provides you. You are supporting the local community and economy. 

How much money should I take on the Trek?

This is up to you. We recommend that you take at least K250 onto the track in small denominations What you spend at the hotel is up to you, we put this on our credit card and pay our account upon check out.

Do I need to take my own tent?

No! we provide you with one of our company tents to use. This saves you trying to clean your tent for quarantine upon your return

Where can I wash at night?

We provide you a location to wash each day. Each campsite has either a river or shower for you to wash prior to dinner and bed. 

How fit do I need to be?

Whilst you don't need to be an athlete you will need a level of fitness and prepare for this journey. We are able to and willing to help you prepare for your adventure.  

Are there Ticks and Leeches?

Whilst there is, they are not as prevalent as you would think. We show you how to prevent these and help you in the unlikely event that you have one. 

How many Mozzies are there?

Much like the ticks and leeches, there are mosquitoes. They are not in the swarms that you possibly think they are. Your tent has a mozzie net, we use repellant and wear long clothes at night to prevent stings. 

What is the toilet situation?

These vary from village to village. Some are holes in the ground and others are a toilet tub that you are able to sit on. You are in the jungle so we ask you to remain a little open minded. 

What do we eat?

We have a cook that prepares all meals for you. You will eat carbohydrate heavy food to give you the nutrition that you require to be fuelled for trekking. You will have cereals and some hot items for breakfast, morning tea, lunch is a mix of fresh fruits (where available from the track), the cooks make rice paper rolls, sushi and buns, afternoon tea and for dinner is a mixm, but there is a pizza/ pasta night, they make cakes and we can cater for vegans, vegetarians and any intolerance you may have (we have mastered the menu for celiacs). 

How much food is there?

We carry so much food that our General Porters are only able to carry half of it. We transport the remaining food to a village in the middle of the track, you will be well fed. There is so much food, we have had some people put weight on!

Is there an age limit?

In short no, but there needs to be a realistic appreciation of what you are undertaking. You will be the best person to decide on maturity of a child or physicality of someone older. Its best to call and discuss.

How many people will be in my trek?

This varies from trek to trek. We have a minimum of five and a maximum of 22. We work on a magic number of 12 as we have found that this is most enjoyable for all. 

What equipment do I need to trek Kokoda?

We provide you with an equipment list that has both essential and luxury items. We do boot reviews on our Facebook page to assist you buying your footwear for trekking. We have an online store which has all of the items that you will want and need, this competes with the big brand warehouses. 

Why should I trek with 100% Kokoda?

Would you do a first-aid course with someone that read a first aid book? You'd want a paramedic, a nurse or a Dr. Why do a military history trek with anyone but a soldier? Anyone can read a book..
