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
in the footsteps of heroes
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.

Trek 1111: Its been a long hard day for this group as just now I spoke to Ivan Semie and he informed me he was reaching the Kokoda Archway a few minutes ago around 5pm this afternoon. Imagine them earlier throughout the day as they walked through the wild choko fields; looked out over Kokoda at Deniki lookout and imagined themselves finishing their trek in Kokoda and walking through the archway. Well done everyone from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking. Well done KTL staff and guide Harold Hauro.

Trek 1111: Harold phoned to say they have now reached Alola Village and will walk off the track tomorrow afternoon. He said trekkers are looking forward to successfully completing their trek. Picture them tomorrow as they walk into Isurava Memorial. Please note: due to a flight change by PNGAir from a morning departure to a late afternoon departure, we were forced to cancel tickets and put on a charter to move trekkers out of Kokoda so they caught their connections back home. As a result, trekkers will be accommodated at Clement Harika's guesthouse area tomorrow night and will fly direct from Kokoda back to Port Moresby on the 18th May estimated time 8:45am.
Well done to our KTL boys and thanks again No Roads Health Foundation for providing the 1st Aid Training as it was very much appreciated by us. Lets know when some training can be carried out in Kokoda.First Aid Training has finished for 32 Porters from along the Kokoda Track. Small personal first aid kits have been presented to each participant and Everyone is excited that they know a bit more about first aid. Another step toward making Kokoda world class. Thanks to all the KTOA companies that paid for their porters to undertake this invaluable training.
Trek Update: All 12 trekkers who walked off the track yesterday in Kokoda are now back in Port Moresby. Some are preparing for some fishing and others flying home today. Thanks ever so much for choosing to trek with us.
News from Orohaven Pija: hahaha, these trekkers are having their beers, singing and cracking jokes in the round house beside the river. Next message, someone is celebrating their birthday! I replied, sounds like they are having fun! A missed call from Maryanne the cook...I returned her phone call....seems Sujagan needed to check on his flight details for tomorrow. I sent her a text so hopefully he is now relaxed. Info was also provided to the two girls on the track but perhaps they forgot to share it with Sujagan. Perhaps by now they are still celebrating their successful trek or fast asleep ready for an early start tomorrow morning to head to the airport to catch their flight back to Port Moresby.
On behalf of Kokoda Trekking and our KTL boys - a big thank you for the 1st Aid Training32 Porters all from KTOA Member operations have been attending a 2 day First Aid course in Port Moresby. This hands on practical training will help porters not only assist trekkers, but also Australian guides and other porters along the Track. This is the first step toward bring up the standard of care along the Kokoda Track and will be an ongoing process. Well done to all that attended, only good things can come from this.
Trek 1111: Harold just reported in to say they have just reached Templeton's Crossing I. It seems our treks in May have had the track all to themselves and they have not run into any other trekking companies. All trekkers are doing ok. Peter, Bradley and Simon are out the front with Ian and Matthew in the middle and Graham coming up the rear. Tom was not mentioned so am assuming he is somewhere in the middle. Seeing as Graham has been operated on re his knees, he is doing extremely well. Tomorrow night they hope to reach Alola Village.
Trek 1113 & Trek 1142: Congratulations are in order as both sets of trekkers walked off the track and under the archway in Kokoda around 2:30pm this afternoon. Very soon they will head down to Pija for the night before flying back to Port Moresby tomorrow morning. Well done everyone from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking.
Trek 1145: Our crew from this trek have remained in Port Moresby and will return home on our charter on the 18th May. At the moment all staff are at the Holiday Inn, Port Moresby attending a 1st Aid Course over 2 days. Clement Harika; Harry Mendari; Lancelot Geroia; Oliver Eroro; Vincent Idau; Roland Mabia; Essau Tuturia and our base Manager, Chris Bauba. A big thank you to the No Roads Health Foundation for providing this course for trekking companies.
Treks 1113 & 1142: Two groups now moving as one and have just left Kovelo so are close to finishing their treks, estimate now 2:30pm in Kokoda. Picture them as they walk towards Kokoda. Our KTL boys per the norm, make a headdress for them just like the girl in this photograph below. No doubt they have done something similar for this group of trekkers to add to the excitement of finishing their trek. I am now getting regular updates....they have just left Kovelo...no too long now! Two 4WDrives are ready and waiting for them and Maryanne is picking up the Pizza ingredients for their meal tonight.
Trek 1113: Ramsey just called....they are a hop step and jump away from Tony Ogonemi's group as they have reached Alola Village. They plan on starting around 6am tomorrow so will catch up with the farmers ahead of them and our other KTL boys and will all make their way off the mountain together. I spoke to Aimee and she said its been tough but they have really enjoyed the experience. Brendon, apparently she has been turning her phone on and off to take photographs and said to let you know if any power left when they reach mobile coverage, she will give you a call.
Trek 1113: Am yet to hear from this trek today but the Kokoda grapevine via Trek 1142 informed me they are hot on their heels and villages passed a message to Tony that they would be at Eora Creek for the night and to SLOW down so they could catch them as they are all have to walk off the track tomorrow and head to Pija for the night both treks. Tomorrow this trek will have another tough day and the farmers out in front can spend the time walking and stopping for a well earned dip in a creek at Hoi.
Trek 1111: This group have reached the half way point of Efogi. According to Harold no problems whatsoever and tomorrow they head to Dump 1 for the night.
Trek 1142: Tony just called me. They have now reached Isurava Memorial and have decided to stop there for the night. Tomorrow they will have an 8am start and make their way to Kokoda through the wild choko fields stopping at Hoi for a swim to cool off before heading to the finish line. According to Tony, everyone is happy and looking forward to tomorrow. I told him to check the text messages I sent him from you all and to read them out to the trekkers.
