NOTE: These prices are effective starting from 23rd of October 2008.
Full payment for your trek is due 60 days prior to the departure date.
For group bookings of 10 or more discounts apply.
Please Note: Bookings are not considered confirmed until Kokoda Trekking (KTL) have received your completed booking sheet per the icon on the left hand side of our website. A deposit of $500.00 per trekker is required at the time of booking to secure your trek. This confirms your committment and covers all administration costs and associated expenditure.
Also note that additional trekkers can be added closer to your trekking date. If however an increase has occurred since the initial booking then these new bookings would naturally be required to pay at the higher rate. Although, unlikely it is explained to avoid confusion as a result of price differences between individual trekkers in the same group.
Why do the packages cost the same? The 6 days / 5 nights trek is a more exhausting trek so we feel that the guides and porters should be compensated the same as if it had be for the longer, easier trek.
Tour cost per trekker in Australian Dollars includes:
Trekkers should have a medical checkup to verify that their health is satisfactory for this strenuous walk and must arrange and provide proof of their own travel and health insurance cover. It is recommended that trekkers hire their own personal porter to carry their essential at least 50 litre backpack.
The cost of a personal porter is A $580.00 which covers for the porter's pay, food, airfare and road transport.
A guide is a 'necessity' unless you have walked the Kokoda Trail yourself or a very 'experienced' trekker. A food porter is a necessity to carry your food supply unless you want to carry it yourself or want to survive on village food. A personal porter is a matter of choice.
Airlines PNG (a local airline) scheduled flights Port Moresby to Kokoda are at 7.00am Wednesday's and Sunday's only.
Another option is to fly with Air Niugini into Popondetta and catch a PMV (Bus) up to Kokoda. There are daily flights into Popondetta if you decide to choose this method.
We can however, arrange a special charter any day of the week. Please contact us for pricing.
Trekking to include Myola or other points of interest is not included in the
standard itinerary but can be arranged when booking your tour. Similarly,
overnight stops in villages of Myola, Efogi or Naoro can be arranged which
could lengthen the overall duration of the trek up to 11 days.
Price Variation: Due to possible currency fluctuations, increases in KTA trek fees and other cost components, we reserve the right to increase our fee without notice. These variations will not however be charged if full payment has been received prior to any such increase.
