Your most important assets are your feet. The number one requirement is a good set of boots. Make sure they are well and truly broken in before trekking. You may be required to walk up to 6 hours in one day. Also plenty of dry socks including thin sports socks, worn under your normal boot socks to help prevent blisters and hot spots.

You will require only 2 sets of clothes whilst trekking in PNG, T-shirt and shorts for trekking during the day and some dry clothes to wear at night.

Example of our Kokoda Historical trekkign shirt. Note we can personalise the sleeves to suit your group.

We provide you with our new quick dry Kokoda Historical Shirt!

Also take a pair of thongs or sandals to be worn at night to give your feet a rest along with a thin rain coat or poncho.

Remember you do not need any tents or cooking equipment! We take care of all of this.

We have recently upgraded our fleet of tents and now every trekker will have their own private tent which we carry for you. You tent self contained and offers enough room for you rand an area to store your pack. We also where possible stay in villages or campsites where there is a guesthouse. You may choose to sleep inside or use the tent provided.

Walking Sticks

There are many options on the market with regards to the purchase of a commercial type walking pole. While you are more than welcome to bring one we do suggest you consider the advantages of having one made by our staff (Green Masin). Not only will this provide you with a fantastic device for helping you climb up and down the mountains of the Owen Stanley's, it will also give you a unique souvenir of your trip to PNG!

Each stick is carved by a member of the team. You will select your branch and then each night when you are not using your stick our staff will carve a personal message and design of your choice on to the stick. You are allowed to bring these sticks back in to Australia. The cost is just a tip to your particular guide that walks with you along the track. Average price is $50AU. What a fantastic way to remember your adventure!
