A personal porter can be hired to carry your pack. This should be arranged before the trek, as it can be difficult to hire a porter once a trek has commenced. Pack weight for a porter is restricted to a maximum of 15kg.
Highly recommended if you do not fit into the 'super' fit category.
Pictured above is Eric Uwea, one of our guides from Sogeri. Eric is currently reading up on the book "The Kokoda Trail, a History", written by Stuart Hawthorne. This book is available from us at AUD$39.95.
The porters will look after you while you are out on the Kokoda track. They will help you lead the way, light up the fire in the morning before everyone else wakes up, boil some water, cook some food and in general be a good companion to your group.
At night upon reaching your daily target, our guides and porters will again help set up camp, light up some fire, and boil water and prepare food for you. Very helpful when you are exhausted after a long day's walk.
When reaching a village, our guides and porters will also arrange for you to stay at the village guest house, and perhaps arrange for some village food should you like to try some kau-kau or choko or even chicken when available.
Meet our guides and porters in our photo gallery.
