MemberTrek Kokoda economically with our local highly and professional PNG guides. Australians, Americans and even the Japanese depended on local knowledge of the Angels of War to make advances. In peacetime, this task is now carried out in a different dimension by the new generation of fuzzy wuzzy angels along the same track. Choose Kokoda Trekking Limited (KTL) and we will walk you along the track as our older generation did and give you the greatest satisfaction of your life.

Our trekkers not only walk the footsteps of the Aussie diggers but we also send them home with a dose of PNG culture. They see the display of traditional Oro welcome dances, share local food, jokes and tales and sing by campfires along the track. All our treks have lots of singing and lots of fun and are definitely not boot camps. We encourage you to walk the Kokoda Track with us for just $2050 per trekker. Whether you are a company executive, businessman, college students, sports team, Christian fellowship group or ordinary worker trek with us and you will see the difference. If you need a personal porter there is an additional cost of $510.00 which covers porters wage, food, accommodation and food in Port Moresby, medical, group porter to carry yours and his food etc.

MemberKTL would also like to thank Dan for his kind words posted on our website:
Once again – I am deeply grateful to Gail and her Boys in KTL for this "life opportunity" and could not recommend them highly enough to any propsective trekker. Whilst on the track, you will frequently see envious eyes glancing at the KTL camp, where trekkers are well fed, well entertained by the KTL Minstrals and well managed by experienced guides. You are in very safe hands.

Trek 272 was one of several treks we had on the go during the period 15th April onwards in both directions. Dan and other members of trek 272 walked from Kokoda to Owers' Corner. It was Dan's 2nd trek and I will not be surprised to see him come back for a third trek one day.
