Why Trek Kokoda with Executive Excellence?
Executive Excellence (EE) is an "executive" level company servicing "executive" level clients. We are the most professional, most organised, safest, best administratively organised company of our nature anywhere in the world. EE has an exemplary safety and success rate for all our adventures. We have never had an incident on the Kokoda Track although we assure you, we have treated and evacuated many other Australians from many other trekking organisations left injured or fatigued in villages along the track. We do not say this to scare you, more so to educate you in the considerations you should understand, and the questions you should ask when planning to trek Kokoda.
More Australians are choosing to trek Kokoda for many different reasons and it is important to remember that trekking in remote locations is inherently dangerous and a very serious undertaking - not something to be taken lightly. For this reason, we at Executive Excellence take your consideration to trek Kokoda as importantly as you and therefore, provide you with the following information about EE and trekking the Kokoda Trail.
EE has an excellent track record for leading people across the Kokoda Track. It is due to our thorough planning, experience, organisational skills and is further underpinned by our training and preparation methodology. We train you and prepare you and stay with you every step of the way.
EE is the only company trekking Kokoda that has full public liability, professional indemnity and aircraft charterer’s liability insurance from a major Australian insurer for all our operations - including Kokoda. We are the only company of our nature anywhere in the world with the safety and success record and the risk management processes that ensure our ability to secure such insurances. We also fully provide your personal travel insurance. You should ensure you ask any operator trekking Kokoda about insurances and ask to see a copy of the policy!
Your preparation to trek Kokoda with EE is thorough, specific and professional. More importantly it is conducted by elite level, fully qualified conditioning coaches from our purpose built 650 square metre Adventure Training Centre in Brisbane. We take trekkers from all over Australia and New Zealand to trek Kokoda; each person completing a thorough preparation program fully supervised in cooperation with our staff at the Adventure Training Centre. You do not have to be from Brisbane, remote trekkers share the same expertise, experience and thorough preparation as our Brisbane trekkers, all fully supervised by our staff. Remember, there is a lot more to physically preparing for Kokoda than just going for a walk.
All EE treks of Kokoda have two fully qualified and experience Australian trek leaders. One is a highly experienced, professional, qualified and mature trek leader. The second is an expert in Remote Area Health; either a Doctor or a Remote Area Medic. Our Doctors and Medics are full time professional remote area medical experts holding a lot more qualification than a weekend first aid course. Again, you should ensure you ask about the qualification of the medic accompanying your trek and ask to see a copy of the qualification. It is too late when you are in the middle of the New Guinea jungle. Remember the local guides and porters who service the Kokoda Trail are just that - guides and porters. They are not experts in Adventure environments and do not hold more than basic first aid qualifications. We employ a number of guides and porters on each trek of Kokoda - as guides and porters, not as Trek Leaders or Medics.
Your administrative preparation to trek Kokoda is our responsibility - we do it all for you. From the time you pay a deposit you are fully administered and prepared by Executive Excellence - professionally. You receive weeky newsletters detailing advice on anti-malarials, vaccinations and visa's. Our office is in weekly contact with you about both your administrative preparation and your physical preparation. We understand you are all very busy people; therefore, every single thing that we can do for you, we do.
Executive Excellence provides absolutely everything you need to trek Kokoda except your boots, socks and shorts. This is an "executive" level product providing first class equipment including backpacks, sleeping bags, pillows, tents, all your food, insect repellents, full first aid kits, trek shirts, hats and night shirts, sunscreen, cups, bowls etc etc. We stay in the best hotels, travel in the best vehicles and even your boots are dry cleaned for you on the last night while you are enjoying one of the best nights of your life at our restaurant awards dinner.
EE has taken clients such as former Australian Rugby League Captain Mal Meninga, Former Australian Cricket Captain Allan Border, Former Australian Netball Captain Vicki Wilson, Former Australian Rugby Player and commentator Chris "Buddha" Handy, Federal Minister Mal Brough, the entire Hawthorn Australian Football Team and Brisbane Lions Football Team across Kokoda. It is not by accident that all the above mentioned people and hundreds of others have chosen to trek Kokoda with Executive Excellence.
We cater for individuals, corporate groups, families, elite sporting teams, anyone at all who is looking for the ultimate Kokoda experience.
This is a trek that you can feel proud to say you’ve completed; as a mark of respect to Australian wartime history, and of course, as a physical challenge.
