| ESS incorporates unique experiences and exceptional features and services into all of its adventures. Trek Kokoda continues the standard of excellence that David Armstrong established when he assisted with the co-ordination of the largest ever group trek culminating in the moving Kokoda Track memorial service that was televised on Anzac Day, 2005.
Browse a couple of the highlights, exclusive to ESS, that distinguish ESS Trek Kokoda from all others.
- Many trekking companies claim to offer a "well rounded" Kokoda experience, but only ESS seeks to recreate the reality of Kokoda through accurate and moving briefs of the military campaign as our clients trek the parts of terrain where each battle occurred. ESS not only provides our clients with an exhilarating physical challenge, but also an inspirational learning journey. Through the close relationships that ESS has developed with local communities, our clients will be able to share their experience with descendants of the people who assisted Australian troops.
- Local guides and porters are employed by ESS. Not only will this assist our clients during the trek, but they will be helping to contribute to economic sustainability for villagers and communities, including improved educational and health facilities and services. ESS also encourages trekkers to assist local villages during their Kokoda adventure, perhaps by either carrying in donated medical supplies or helping build homes.
