Adventure Kokoda was founded by Major Charlie Lynn in 1991 primarily because of his interest in the Kokoda track and helping those who live along it. It was one of the first companies to offer trekking in the region to foreigners, especially Australians, who wanted to learn more about the areas importance during the fighting in WWII. Charlie has forged strong personal ties with the Kioari and Orokaiva people who live the remote villages that dot the track. He has personally led 56 expeditions across the Owen Stanley Ranges since.
Adventure Kokoda is committed to supporting the local population with initiatives such as the Network Kokoda Foundation which funds educational scholarships and health services. The company is also active in various foundations to assist with education and sponsorship, especially for children. 
Charlie is a well-respected member of the community and has been a Member of the NSW Legislative Council since 1995. Adventure Kokoda specialises in Kokoda by dedicating its resources to treks in this corner of the world. There are numerous itineraries to choose from and prices start at $4,445 for an 8 day trek from Brisbane.
