Join us on this exclusive nine-day fully supported and professionally guided trek traversing the iconic Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. The 96km long Kokoda Track and the Kokoda campaign is etched in Australia's history as one of our most significant land-based World War II campaigns so close to Australia.

Imagine for a moment. You are standing under the famous arches at Owers Corners. You are part of a team that has shared nine days of adventure in the pristine rainforests traversing the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. You have walked from Kokoda Village along a track that is rich in Australian wartime history. You have trekked, slept and ate in a landscape of ancient rainforests, crossed flowing rivers, passed through local villages, met the friendly local village people, heard stories of the incredible bravery of our heroic diggers and visited significant battle sites of the Kokoda campaign. Your adventure immersed you in experiences of achievement and friendship. At that moment of reflection and achievement, the emotion of reaching your goal is almost overwhelming... you feel alive and changed by the experience! Trekking the Kokoda Track is not just another trek; it is a journey of self-discovery and a reflection of Australian wartime history, and the memories and the friendships with the people who shared the journey with you will last a lifetime.

The Kokoda Track is unquestionably one of Australia's most significant and historic internationals walks. Our itinerary is designed to traverse the Kokoda Track from north to south, retracing the fighting withdrawal our Australian troops after encountering heavy fighting and being heavily outnumbered. We will walk from Kokoda Village after flying in by private charter with Tropic Air, and make the journey south over the Owen Stanley Ranges to Owers Corner over nine days.
