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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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

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. 

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.  

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. 

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. 

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. 

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). 

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!
