点评:From pre-trek briefings to the final celebrations, Adventure Kokoda hit the mark for an incredible 9 day adventure.
I was a little apprehensive as to how I would cope with the physical demands but this quickly disappeared the moment I arrived in PNG and met the Adventure Kokoda crew. Their expertise and camaraderie made me feel confident and well supported.
It was obvious Adventure Kokoda values their people as they limit the weight of personal carriers' bags to a max of 18kgs. I passed many carriers from other companies burdened by the excessive weight of oversized bags which was heartbreaking.
Our trek leader Peter Morrison was (and still is!) a legend - humbly understated, totally genuine, and with amazing speakership. His portrayal of the Kokoda campaign through evocative storytelling, anecdotal and historical evidence, as well as poignant poetry was outstanding. Adventure Kokoda provided nutritious food for every meal. We even enjoyed fresh chicken cooked via the traditional PNG method (Mumu - underground with stones). Adventure Kokoda expertly balanced having access to modern comforts (toilets, hot/cold showers etc) with authentic cultural immersions in schools and villages which made for an unique experience. We were encouraged to bring school equipment/resources to donate to the schools in the villages - this was really special and was a clear indication that Adventure Kokoda truly values and cares for the people of PNG.
Would recommend Adventure Kokoda to anyone seeking to complete the Kokoda Trail with a company that prioritises safety and wellbeing, employs expert and credible trek leaders and PNG guides/carriers, and values the needs and experiences of individual trekkers.
翻译:从徒步前的简报到最后的庆祝活动,Adventure Kokoda 为这场精彩的9天探险之旅画上了圆满的句号。
我原本有点担心自己能否承受体力上的挑战,但当我抵达巴布亚新几内亚,与 Adventure Kokoda 团队见面后,这种担忧很快就烟消云散了。他们的专业技能和团队精神让我感到自信满满,并得到了充分的支持。
Adventure Kokoda 显然非常重视他们的员工,因为他们将个人行李的重量限制在18公斤以内。我遇到过很多其他公司的行李员,他们背着超重的行李,这令人心碎。
我们的徒步领队 Peter Morrison 曾经是(现在仍然是!)一个传奇人物——谦逊低调,真诚待人,并且拥有令人惊叹的演讲技巧。他通过引人入胜的故事、轶事和历史证据以及感人至深的诗歌,对科科达战役的描述令人叹为观止。Adventure Kokoda 为每顿饭都提供了营养丰富的食物。我们甚至享用了采用巴布亚新几内亚传统烹饪方法(Mumu——用石头在地下烹制)烹制的新鲜鸡肉。Adventure Kokoda 巧妙地将现代化舒适设施(如卫生间、冷热水淋浴等)与学校和村庄的地道文化体验完美结合,打造了一次独特的体验。我们被鼓励携带学校设备/资源捐赠给村庄的学校——这真的很特别,也清楚地表明了 Adventure Kokoda 真正重视和关心巴布亚新几内亚人民。
我会向所有想要完成科科达步道的人推荐 Adventure Kokoda,该公司将安全和福祉放在首位,聘请了专业可靠的徒步领队和巴布亚新几内亚向导/搬运工,并重视每位徒步者的需求和体验。
