Overview

The trek follows the original wartime trail and includes all sites of military significance during the Kokoda campaign.

The itinerary allows a visit to Lake Myola and camp at Bombers Campsite which is the best site along the trail – the only one with a hot shower!

We also trek across to the eastern side of the range that was defended by the 53rd and 2/16th Battalions.

The trek includes a solemn Dawn Service involving trekkers and our PNG guides and carriers at the Isurava Memorial. This service is regarded as the highlight of the Kokoda trek experience.
