Hi Brian

I can only agree with Pete on your choice. I have trekked twice now with KTL and have only the highest praise & regard for both our teams on those two treks. The Personal Porters were genuinely the most caring and helpful people I could ever wish for, with Maurice back in '05 and Jimmy, Brendan & Horace last year, absolutely superb. The…[Read more]

My apology for not putting anything up until now, as I am presently at the Blue Mountains as one of our staff, Ramsy Idau was a competitor in the North Face 100km event and I decided to drive down from the Gold Coast to support him. Shane, my son is on hand in PNG to look after this trek.

Congratulations are in order as trekkers walked off the track today, 1 day ahead of schedule and are presently at Sogeri Lodge enjoying a few beers or two. Well done everyone from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking.Sogeri Lodge 640×480.JPG

Thanks Peter – that's what I reckoned I'd need to bring.

Hi Brian.

We did the trek a while back using local guides. Johnsford and Dudley were 2 of the nicest and most impressive guys Ive ever met. We all became great mates. I recommend the local guys.
