Escape Trekking Adventures run primarily two length tours for the Kokoda Track, both tours enjoying a 9-day trek through the wartime jungle path and a night spent before and after the trek at the beautiful Ela Beach hotel in Port Moresby.

Australian Kokoda Tours (AKT) was formed by Mick O'Malley after he decided to turn his passion for Australian war history, into a career telling the Kokoda Soldiers' stories to other Australians.

The Kokoda Track is not only a beautiful, world class, jungle bushwalking experience, it is a trek into Australia’s wartime history. The Kokoda Track is as important a part of Australian history as Gallipoli. We believe it is a pilgrimage every Australian should experience in their lifetime.

Our Papuan leader is fully trained and briefed by Australian Paramedics and we have a strict protocol for emergency situations on all tours. We have a computer monitored GPS tracking system for all Papuan led tours which can relay information immediately back to Paramedics in Australia to assess any incidents or emergencies and implement emergency procedures if necessary.

When Vietnam Veteran Merv Hains first walked the Kokoda Track in September 2005, it was the beginning of the Kokoda Track Experience. Merv has since completed 20 trips over the Track and returns regularly to walk alongside trekkers young and old.

Charlie Lynn established Adventure Kokoda in 1991 and has led 65 expeditions across Kokoda since then. During this time he has established close relations with the Kioari and Orokaiva people who live in villages along the Track.

After 29 crossing and 10 years of personally guiding Toogee Treks clients across the Kokoda Track (not to mention the dozens of Self-Guided treks over the years), Robert Frost knows how to organise and conduct a trek to give you the best possible experience on your journey of the famous wartime Kokoda Trail.
