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.

"Wow, what an awesome trip. Trekking the Kokoda track has been a bucket list item for me for a long time and Kokoda Trekking Australia delivered an amazing experience. The company is very professional from the time of booking through to the completion of our adventure. We trekked with Tour leader Pat and his 2IC Clement. Both had an incredible knowledge of the war history and the Kokoda track in general. A special thanks to our personal porters who carried our equipment along the track (special mention to Wayne – my personal porter) and the food porters for carrying our much needed and plentiful daily food packs. Thanks again to Pat and his wonderful team for an awesome experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kokoda Trekking Australia to anyone that asks.."
"I had the most amazing week with you guys. firstly you help me achieve a life long dream of doing the Trek. what I was expecting was the amazing service from the porters and especially my personal porter Dougie. He was amazing. I also have to mention Clement and Pat. What a team they were. the talks were incredible and learning the history was fantastic. the highlight was the service Isurava memorial. Thanks so much and I believe I will be back"
"My son and I walked the trail in June 2019, along with new friends, dynamic dad and daughter duo Bob and Katie, and we will never forget the experience. Our guide Tony was fantastic as were the rest of the Kokoda Trekking crew; Chris, Tom (Hanks!), Kingsley, Morris, Oliver and Peter. The information provided by Kokoda Trekking, both beforehand and during the trek, was excellent with Nathan always available to offer invaluable advice. We learnt a lot more about the history along the trail and walked away with a much greater appreciation of the heroic sacrifices made by so many. The trail certainly isn’t easy but with the right fitness level, and positive attitude, the rewards are worth the challenge. We would highly recommend Kokoda Trekking and thanks again for a truly wonderful experience."

Late Milton Lay - time of reflection for me. In 2008 we welcomed to PNG a group of 38 who were all there because of one man, Milton Lay. I can recall when booking the group he asked for a group discount. A discount was offered and agreed, but Milton turned around and asked me what I felt Kokoda needed. I suggested a community hall. Immediately Milton contacted PNG Forest Products and with the discount he ordered a hall but not before he asked me how I suggested he go about the donation. Russell Eroro got involved and together they flew over to Kokoda to meet with landowners as a decision had to be made as to where to put the hall. It was decided it should be built at Koko Village. Later the Kokoda Track Memorial guys who built the archways at both ends of the track got involved as Milton Lay was their friend. They agreed to help build the hall and so the journey began. That was the start of the Kokoda College built by the Kokoda Track Authority - KTF. A big thank you to Milton Lay for his initiative and for laying the foundation of his idea. In 2008, Milton did not walk with the group but he flew to PNG and with his friends arranged everything with us and was in PNG to send them off and welcome them back off the track.

I was advised this week of the passing of Milton Lay who was A PASSIONATE advocate for the Shoalhaven community, who drove a number of major local projects. This is how the late Milton Lay is being remembered. Mr Lay passed away recently after suffering a massive stroke after undergoing heart valve surgery.
