EXPERIENCE MATTERS ON KOKODA

Kokoda Spirit is a family-owned Australian trekking company that has been guiding trekkers across the Kokoda Track since 2004.

For more than 22 years, we have safely led thousands of people across the original wartime Track — from individual trekkers to Defence personnel, schools, elite sporting teams, corporate groups and charity expeditions.

Every expedition is led by experienced Australian or Papua New Guinean guides and supported by highly trained local PNG teams.

Our experience has been built where it matters — on the Kokoda Track, year after year.

Choose Experience. Walk With Confidence.

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.

PNG-Led Kokoda Treks

Experience Kokoda with the people who call it home.

There is something special about experiencing the Kokoda Track alongside the Papua New Guinean people whose villages, families and communities have been connected to this country for generations.

Kokoda Spirit’s PNG-led treks are led by experienced Papua New Guinean Trek Masters and supported by our local guides, cooks and porters — many of whom have spent years working alongside Kokoda Spirit on the Track.

They know the mountains, rivers, villages and changing conditions of Kokoda intimately. Just as importantly, they bring an understanding of the people, culture and communities that cannot be learned from a guidebook.

Private & Group Treks

Your group. Your purpose. Your Kokoda.

Some of the most memorable Kokoda experiences are shared with people who already have something in common.

A group of mates. A family.
A school. A Defence unit. A sporting team. A charity.
A workplace.

For more than 22 years, Kokoda Spirit has designed and delivered private Kokoda expeditions for groups with very different objectives — from commemorative and historical journeys to leadership programs, team challenges and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Whatever brings your group to Kokoda, we’ll work with you to create an expedition around your people, your objectives and your preferred dates.
