Why Trek with Kokoda Spirit
1. WE OFFER The complete experience
Trekking Kokoda with us means you see things as a explorer, historian and adventurer. We offer comprehensive battlesite briefings and dignified services along the track. Our Guides are passionate and specialists in the Kokoda Campaign. Australian Defence Force organisations and Australian Para Military organisations, have chosen and continue to choose Kokoda Spirit for our professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the Kokoda Track and the battles along the Kokoda Track. While we love working with our Defence Force groups, we do promise not to treat you like a raw recruit or march you in platoon or company size groups like some trekking companies! See what some of them say.
2. WE HAVE THE Runs on the board
We have a wealth of experience, with over 3800 trekkers successfully and happily trekked Kokoda with us. See what some of them say here.
3. We love Kokoda
We're passionate, and we're respectful of the story of the Diggers, Fuzzy Wuzzy’s and the local communities along the track. We have an excellent relationship and rapport with villages, communities and elders along the track. See why here.
