Trek with Kokoda Trekking & have an adventure of a lifetime
The Kokoda Trail is one of the world’s great treks, linking the southern and northern coast of Papua New Guinea, it is a challenge to be enjoyed by the fit bushwalker. The Kokoda Trail and Sogeri area have a history of bitter fighting between Australian and Japanese armies during the early days of the war in the Pacific in World War II.
The 96 km Kokoda trail passes through rugged mountainous country of rainforest, jungles of fern, orchids, birds and clean mountain streams which tumble into steep valleys. The unspoilt villages throughout the Kokoda Track will welcome you and the Koiari and Orokaiva people will greet you with smiles and tempt you with seasonal fruit and vegetables.

What our friends had to say
"I am delighted that we chose to trek with you and your team. While the ability to run a well managed trek was important I believe that the way that you guys give back to the community and include the locals in your operations makes a unique difference to the whole experience. I felt like I was being included in the history of the trail rather than just observing it as a visitor."
"Thanks for a memorable journey. The style of trek that you offer was just what I was seeking and I am already singing your praises here in Brisbane – hopefully more business will come your way."
"Everything was organised and very well planned and we wouldn’t even consider trekking with anyone else – we’ve done it twice with them so they must have been good! The porters are the most wonderful people, so genuinely wanting for you to succeed and doing whatever it takes so you make it."
Walk

The Kokoda Trail was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of World War II and still carries the scars of a fierce campaign.

At the moment we have a sub-contract on the go from Peak Learning with Nikki George as the trek leader walking on her 69th trek. Walking with Nikki, is several of our Kokoda Trekking KTL boys: Christopher Talanoa (on the left in photograph below); Clement Harika; Frank Taimbari; Emmanuel Eroro; Ivan Semie; Wayne Urina; Tom Hango; David Klerk Embo; Eric Uwea; Earnst Jinga; Chris Suma; Gary Juary; Cypian Haera; Ramsy Idau. Tagging along with the group is Lenny Enjeka. In the photograph below they were at Myola.
On the 9th August 2014 we lost one of our oldest trekkers who walked the track in celebration of his 70th birthday. He chose as his guide Wallace Lemeki (with ukulele)who sadly passed away before him on the 3rd February 2013. Brian informed me that it was always his dream to walk the track but raising a family, purchasing the family home etc had him put it off until 'Trek 435 on the 26th September, 2008'. RIP Brian Beamish and your mate Wallace (Wally) Lemeki. Gone but never forgotten.Trek 435 - 26th September 2008 - Our thoughts are with Brian Beamish and his family as he has been placed in palliative care. Since Brian joined our Kokoda Trekking family, he has lived on this website and basically anything to do with Kokoda. He walked with Kokoda Trekking to celebrate his 70th birthday and requested the late Wallace Lemeki as his guide along with Brendan Buka (Kokoda Challenge record holder) as his personal porter. Brian toughed it out and at times felt like giving up, but sheer willpower got him to the finish line in Kokoda. Brian has been fighting his illness for quite some time and it saddens us to not see him commenting and clicking the 'like' button on this website as his absence shows us just how unwell he must be right now. Brian knew Wallace loved music so him and his wife Maureen brought him to Australia and took him to the Tamworth Country Music Festival and Wallace got to sing on stage with Graham Rodger. With the limited resources they had living on the pension, every year they would send small items to Kokoda for Wallace's son such as school shoes; and other items they found he needed. When Wallace passed away 03/02/2013 Brian and Maureen contributed to the 'Wallace Lemeki Kokoda Primary School Scholarship' with the Kokoda Track Foundation. Brian, we at Kokoda Trekking are thinking of you and send you all our love and best wishes. Gail and the team at Kokoda Trekking

Trek 1125: This group have just walked under the archway at Owers' Cnr. Angela for one is jumping for joy! Well done everyone and congratulations from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking. To all our Kokoda Trekking staff and a few 'newbies', sincere thanks. Thanks Angela for the photographs 'live' from Owers' Corner.
Trek 1125: Trekkers spent last night at Agulogo and tonight they are at Ioribaiwa Village. I just spoke to both Trevor and Angela. They have made a decision to walk off the track tomorrow instead of the following day. The experienced a bit of rain it seems but its been mostly a dry track. One of the trekkers Radley was airlifted out of Efogi but is ok. Earlier today they walked through Nauro Village and down Maguli Range, Ofi Creek before heading to Ioribaiwa Village. Everyone sounded very excited in the background. Angela asked if anyone had posted any messages for her. So if not, better start posting!
Trek 1125: Trevor phoned from Efogi around 6am this morning. He said the group were preparing to move off with the plan today to reach Agulogo. It would have been another tough day with a climb up to Brigade Hill followed by a steep descent to Menari Village. Sometime this afternoon should have seen them reach Agulogo where they will camp by a creek. Will confirm and update further once Trevor makes contact.
Trek 1143: the guys must be having such a good time down at the beachheads that Pat has not called to report in. After walking the track no doubt they are relaxing with a few beers; lots of swims in the surf and just hanging out with their friends; eating and sleeping, well we can only dream how they are spending their days.....back home, am sure they will have photographs and stories to share. They will no doubt take some time to reflect on what happened in this area of Papua New Guinea during WWII.
Trek 1125: Not long ago I received a sat phone message from Trevor Jinga. This is the message: Hi b'meri, we are @ Efogi now. All trekkers and porters are doing fine. Angie has recovered and dit it @ a very slow pace with Radley and Dylan today. The track is dry!
Trek 1125: This trek now finds themselves at Dump 1 tonight. Unfortunately Angela has had a tough afternoon and was not feeling too well when I spoke with our guide. All other trekkers are ok and have done well today. Apparently a slow walk this afternoon up to their destination but all arrived there by 5:30pm
*Please note: stock photographs used* Their own trek photographs will be uploaded once our camera comes in off the track.
Congratulations to Nikki George and her iPi group of trekkers who just walked off the track at Sogeri this afternoon. A big thank you to Zac Zacharias (Peak Learning Adventures) for sub-contracting his two treks to us and our Kokoda Trekking boys for their help in looking after the trekkers under their care. Also to Zac's other group who finished in Kokoda on the 26th July with Zac as the guide. Well done team KTL
Trek 1143: Congratulations to this group as they walked off the track earlier this afternoon and are presently at Clement's family guesthouse relaxing and celebrating their successful trek. I spoke to Leon and he said he really enjoyed his second walk across the track with Kokoda Trekking. Well done everyone from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking.
Trek 1125: This group find themselves at Alola Village tonight. When Pat passed them walking in the opposite direction, Angela was out the front leading the group! One guy has a sore knee but is plodding along. Everyone else is doing just great.
Trek 1143: Trekkers are now at Isurava Village and will walk off the track tomorrow where they will relax overnight before heading down to Sanananda for a few days. Pat, our trekkers and porters are all looking forward to walking off the track tomorrow. No problems whatsoever with the group. They should reach Kokoda tomorrow around lunch time. Earlier today they were at Isurava Memorial where they had a service before heading on a bit further down the track to where they are now camped.
Trek 1125: This trek got away today from Kokoda around midday. I just received this message from Angela one of the trekkers: Hi Gail...we are now in Deniki and it was a struggle for me. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow. The others all struggled too but kept going. They are a great group...lots of laughs already!
Trek 1143: Pat and his team are now at Templeton's Crossing for the night. Lots of fun it seems, singing in the background could be heard. Lots of trekkers walking in the opposite direction according to Pat. Tomorrow they head to Isurava Village in readiness to walk off the track on the 27th. Everyone continues to do well.
