Kokoda Spirit is a family-owned Australian trekking company with a deep respect for Australia’s military history and the people and culture of Papua New Guinea.

Every expedition is led by experienced Australian or Papua New Guinean guides and supported by highly trained local PNG teams, backed by more than two decades of genuine Kokoda experience.

Brigadier Dean Thompson - Review

I just completed the Kokoda Trail, and it was one of the most meaningful and physically challenging experiences of our lives!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our Legacy fundraising efforts- This means Legacy can continue to care for our veterans families.

A special shoutout to the incredible team from Kokoda Spirit—Wayne, Sue, Nathan, our amazing Porters and support staff—who made this journey truly unforgettable.

I especially want to thank Wayne for his deep knowledge and respect for the Kokoda battlefields, as well as his appreciation for the trail and the local people.

Wayne’s deep knowledge, care and respect towards the battlefields of our heroes is humbling (thank you Wayne).

To walk in the footsteps of heroes along the Kokoda trail – highly recommend the Kokoda Spirit team.
