“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Wayne, Lyn and Kokoda Spirit Team as the Kokoda Trek was something very special and has had a big impact on each and every one of my 4 sons and I. The quite moving stories of the Diggers and to hear and see what they faced, […]

It’s safe to say the Coast to Coast Challenge is probably the greatest adventure I’ll ever go on. The 284 kilometre bike and hike from Buna on the North Coast to Port Moresby on the South Coast exceeded all my expectations. From bucketing rain to intense humidity / heat, steep climbs to never ending descents, […]

To all involved, your group of people have made my trek with you something that I will hold onto and cherish for ever! Right from the first day of registration and payment of the deposit things could not have gone more smoothly. Our guide [Craig] was very informed on the military tactics side of things, […]

Dear Kokoda Spirit, Thank you and all your staff and especially Darren (Sav) our trusty guide for an awesome trip on Sept 21 – 29 2018. I was fortunate enough to group with a great bunch of other trekkers and would not have swapped any part of it at all. The logistics, the guides, the […]

Hi there, I am currently on the flight back home to Australia from PNG after hiking the Kokoda trail with Kokoda Spirit. I was a teacher with the Anglican school group. I wanted to send an email highlighting how impressed I was with how smoothly the trek ran. I truely believe that comes down to […]

Team, I’m a member of a group that recently completed one of your treks and wanted to provide some feedback. Trepidation is probably how best to describe my lead up. I’m now 18 months post surgery from a double hip replacement. I had trained hard but you never are too sure how these things will […]

Hey Wayne, Since we didn’t really get to say it at Brisbane, thank you so much for the trip!! I had the best time learning about not only the track, but the history of it. It has been the best experience I have had so far and it’s all a credit to you!   Kind […]

Hi Wayne Thanks so much for an awesome adventure out on the Kokoda Track. The boys and staff all loved the experience, and we have had some incredible feedback!   Enclosed are many of the photos we took, including photo of the year! I also put a short video together, which is on the USB, […]

Dear Wayne, Thank you for the email I had just sat myself down at the computer to send you an email as your email arrived! What a fabulous experience I had on the walk. The Trail was a huge challenge for me and I really questioned my ability to complete the walk from Day 1. […]

Thank you to you all. It was a great experience. Greg was an excellent leader, and his passion for and knowledge of the campaign really brought it to life and made it a memorable and emotional part of the trek. Your guide team couldn’t have done a better job. Their silent dignity and selfless support […]

Wayne and team – great job, thank you. Immaculate organisation throughout, well done. Special shout-out to Greg Chamberlin and his commitment to the walkers’ experience – he had a couple of big tumbles, is there a plan B if the guide goes down? The porters were amazing. My porter, Neville, was great, it was his […]

Good afternoon, Greg was a wonderful guide. His friendly demeanour, genuine empathy for the fallen soldiers and local PNG people, knowledge of military strategy, respect for the individuals in the team, jovial spirit, compassion and respect for the local people, love of the outdoors and natural environment was uncompromising. He was a joy to be […]

Bartz was so proud of his village, Efogi when we walked in. This is him pointing to his village from the track. Saved my arse more than once, amazing human. Glenn

Billy and I, can’t thank him enough for his kindness and help along the track ,a true gentleman and angel ,an amazing experience that lives with me every day .I hope he and his family are all well . Terry

Henry!!! Made me feel like royalty Kirrilee

The spirit lives on good onya guys. Nev  

They were all wonderful fellas and we won’t ever forget how well they looked after us Michelle

God bless those beautiful men who helped our men a debt we can never repay. Debbie

My friend Ron Koko for making this the most amazing experience and sharing his heart and soul, friendship and knowledge, culture and language….as well as dragging me up every hill! Thanks Ambo…I am forever grateful! Jo

My man Joe. Man of not many words but looked after me big time. Phil

Extraordinary men is an understatement for the PNG porters on the Kokoda track, my porter Pauly was a legend all the way, saved my ass on many slippery slopes.  Mark

Stuart saved me tooo many times to mention after dislocating my shoulder on day three and getting me to the end… they are all legends. Jo

I did the trek in May this year and my personal porter was Jeremi! He made me feel so safe and held my hand when it was really steep or slippery. I couldn’t have done it without him! Bel

Benzie was my personal porter and security blanket and John Burrows was so caring, they were all legends Jen

P.J. literally half dragged or pushed me over every single hill on that track. Not to mention caught me on every single fall I had down hill. He allowed me to look up and see the beauty of PNG, and to top it all off let me have the best birthday ever. Absolute Legend. Lau

My amazing porter James, I love that man. Saved me every single day. De

That finished feeling and nothing but gratitude for literally saving my arse every single day. Xx Alyssa

My Porter was John Bula.  He was amazing and so helpful, if it wasn’t for him I doubt whether I would have made it through. Richard

I did the trek 10 years ago with your company. he wasn’t my porter but he was very kind and helpful and very easy to talk to. I will ways remember him. Sue

Great to have Big Willie looking after me. Was great to get up and put warm dry clothes on every morning. I can’t remember how many times he saved my arse Matt
