RSL Soldiers Kokoda > Why Adventure1000

Travel to remote and challenging destinations demands extra attention to detail, on the ground knowledge and experience, seamless operations and high-level risk management. We take every precaution to ensure you have a safe and memorable trekking experience. Our risk management systems and procedures include:

• Training, screening and preparing every single client who treks Kokoda with us using a proven and fully supervised physical preparation program
• Providing everything you need to complete the trek safely and comfortably and then staying with you every step of the way
• Using a rear link satellite communication system back to a Safety Officer in Australia
• Each independent trek (no more than 20 trekkers per trek team) on RSL Soldiers Kokoda 2012 will have a highly experienced Trek Leader and a Doctor and highly qualified Remote Area Medical Specialists
  
• 24 hour contact with the head of our Adventure1000 Medical Team, surgeon Dr Andrew Graham (who accompanies us on many of our Kokoda treks)
• Carrying comprehensive first aid kits and details of evacuation points on the Trail
• Personally recruiting and hand selecting local Papua New Guinea porters from villages along the Kokoda Trail. Adventure1000 is highly regarded and has a long relationship with all the villages and locals who reside across the length of the Kokoda Trail
• Holding professional indemnity, public liability (AUS$10 million) and aircraft charter liability insurance (from a major Australian insurer) which is provided based on our success and safety records
