Kokoda Spirit is Australia and PNG’s most respected and professional company, specialising in trekking The Kokoda Track.
We have been operating in PNG since 2004 and we have escorted over 8500 trekkers and more than 55 expeditions a year safely across The Kokoda Track.
We believe we are the largest provider of life changing and empowering treks across Kokoda.
Kokoda Spirit also supports a large range of Charities and Foundations with raising funds and awareness for their causes.
We understand no other operator has led more treks or trekkers across The Kokoda Track than Kokoda Spirit.
We are also the largest employee of PNG Guides, Carriers and Porters and employ our staff from the Villages and surrounding areas of the Kokoda Trail corridor. Our locally based PNG Guides were born or raised along the Kokoda Track and are all qualified, trained and English speaking. Naturally they have an intimate knowledge of The Kokoda Track and can show our trekkers things that you wouldn’t otherwise find.
We are proud to employ locals and provide income, training and a career to the local people of the Kokoda Trail.
We also believe we are the largest provider of trek fees to the Kokoda Track Authority. These fees are the lifeblood to sustain the ongoing work of the KTA.
We also believe we contribute the highest amount of campsite fees and site fees for to assist in the upkeep of significant war sites. We source fresh fruit and vegetables from local landowners.
