The Kokoda Track - Trekking Packages with Kokoda Culture

The Kokoda Track is renown as one of world's most challenging adventure walks. There is no way of avoiding the many long steep climbs, knee wrenching descents or hundreds of creek crossings that every trekker must overcome if they are to conquer the Kokoda Track. You will also be walking in the footsteps of the hundreds of young soldiers who lost their lives here in 1942 making it an unforgettable and often life changing journey.

Kokoda Culture now makes this experience accessible to even more people by offering 12 night expeditions that allow almost anyone in good physical health and condition to enjoy this superb jungle trek. 

Our specially designed trips ensure that you will walk fewer hours each day giving your body more time to recover from the rigours of the Kokoda Track.

Most other trekking companies offer treks that are completed in 6 - 9 nights with clients walking an average of 8 hrs & even up to 12 hours a day. This trip is not designed for those trekkers who are looking to cross the Kokoda Track just for the physical challenge!

But if you think that the huge effort required is worth spending extra time to really experience this fascinating country and its history, let Kokoda Culture show you the way.

For those who are looking for a shorter trip, I highly recommend you use a reputable compny such as kokodaspirit.com for your trek.

With our longer itinerary, your walking days will normally be finished by mid afternoon & often by lunchtime allowing time to:

• take your boots off & let your feet, muscles & blisters dry & rest
• explore the battle sites and relive the history of World War 2
• meet the local villagers and learn about their ancient culture
• enjoy time with our �fuzzy wuzzy� carriers. Game of touch footy anyone?
• have a proper daily wash of self & clothes
• dry your boots & socks around a fire
• soak up the unbelievable natural beauty of the Owen Stanley ranges

Enjoy all that PNG has to offer

Not only does Kokoda Culture offer a comprehensive military history for each area that we trek through, you will also have plenty of time to:

• learn about local customs, medicines, farming and tribal lore
• watch as handicrafts such as billum bags are made
• be shown about native fauna and flora including native animal trap making  
• have a try at trout fishing or just watch your carriers catch their dinner
• experience a Koiari village welcome including dancing and singing in traditional dress & presentation of a floral welcome lei
• enjoy a smorgasbord feast of traditional foods
• listen to the beautiful voices of a local �sing sing�
• attend a village Saturday mass at a Seven Day Adventist church (locale permitting)
• take interesting side trips to crashed aircraft, beautiful waterfalls and military positions
• pause for that extra moment to capture that perfect photo or video
• hear a moving nightly recital of Kokoda war poetry  

Taste of Kokoda speciality treks

Kokoda Culture also offers a unique 6 night trekking package (8 nights total) that visits the historic sites of Kokoda, Isurava, Abuari and Eora Creek without crossing the entire Kokoda Track. While still requiring a high level of fitness, this trek is much less demanding physically yet still allows you to really experience the beauty & history of the Eora valley.

Ideal for corporate groups and military enthusiasts or those with less time available to experience this incredible country.
