Interested in Trekking the Kokoda Track?

The Kokoda Track is often referred to as "The Great Pilgrimage", a journey that will take you to one of Australia's most important WWII battle sites and immerse you in that history. Walking the Kokoda Track will transport you to another time, when Australia was in danger of being invaded by the seemingly unstoppable Imperial Japanese Army. You will gain a great appreciation of the conditions endured by Australian Diggers and gain an understanding of local living conditions and cultures as well as the natural wonders of the Owen Stanley Ranges.

Walking the famous Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea involves 50 hours of hiking over 96km of sharp, timbered ridges, steep-sided valleys and fast flowing rivers. Vantage points along the Track reveal magnificent mountain landscapes, and a wide variety of flora and fauna is encountered. Trekkers pass through local villages where descendents of the wartime “fuzzy wuzzy angels” continue to live simple traditional lifestyles while providing a warm welcome to passing trekkers.

This expedition is considered difficult as there are long walks over elevated terrain and up and down narrow jungle trails. Accommodation is in tents or basic huts (guest houses) on the expedition and involves standard hotel accommodation in Port Moresby. Some days are long hauls of seven to ten hours through difficult terrain in humid and hot weather. The expedition gives trekkers a real sense of what Australian Diggers had to deal with during WWII.
