Our Trek in June July School Holidays of 2007 was my first time on the famous Track and I was very nervous. Although I walk a lot for work at home, our town is very flat and it was difficult to find suitable training spots to prepare for what had been described to me as 'walking up and down stairs, in sticky mud for up to 10 hours at a time, in…[Read more]

Hello Yvie.My wife and I trekked Kokoda with Gails company and found them to be excellent in every way. The best thing was that the guides and porters made you feel so relaxed and confident which is very important when you are in a jungle 100's of miles from home.

Thanks for the information Waza and Saloo8. I live on the Gold Coast and I am planning to do the track next year in July/August.

Julien is now heading for the finish line and tomorrow night will be at Goldie River. According to Cyprian his guide, he is doing really well and they are all enjoying the walk.

Hello YvieI can only endorse what Saloo8 has said in regard to KTL, I have trekked with them before and am returning for another go in April/May next year and looking forward to it. They are a wonderful Company, owned by equally wonderful people. People who do so much for the people of the Kokoda and surrounding areas. They have put so much back…[Read more]

Julien was in Efogi last night at the half way point and tonight will be in Agulogo. According to the boys, he is doing just great!

At the moment they are…[Read more]

Firstly my apology for not so many updates as Cyprian must have been buggered each day or could not get a signal as the first message I received was from Naoro Village to inform me what time roughly they planned on walking off the track.Last night we caught up with them at Owers' Corner around 6pm and although looking tired they were all ok and…[Read more]

Trekkers phoned up today and all are doing well. They will arrive at Ower's Corner around 5pm this afternoon.It really is an amazing effort walking the Kokoda Trail in 4 days. Congratulations to them all!

Having trekked with Kokoda Trekking (who own this forum) I can highly recommend them as an operator. The guides and porters are excellent and very professional without being "touristy", for lack of a better word. You get a fascinating insight into PNG and it's culture as well as into the history of Kokoda, particularly the battles that took…[Read more]
