Kokoda Trek is a must and Adventure Kokoda is a must have - I did the Historic kokoda 8 day trek with a mate of mine. Our Guide Jake was supportive, informative and a ripper of a guide. My porter 'Jacko' was someone that made the trek so much easier and he was invaluable as were the other crew. The 18 trekkers who were after a similar experience got a lot more in return. The scenery and weather was outstanding from start to finish. Learned so much about myself, about the campaign and the himan spirit. Bravo.

Wonderful - The 8 day trek with Adventure Kokoda & Jake heading the team was a wonderful experience. Do not miss this opportunity to learn of the history of the Kokoda track and our Aussie heroes. Exhausting and exhilarating this will leave you on an absolute high. It is both physically and mentally challenging but Jake and the PNG team supported us every step of the way. 5 stars 🌟

Incredible and Amazing Experience - We recently completed an 8 day trek with Adventure Kokoda and Jake as our trek leader. The trip was well-organised, and we learnt a lot of the battle history of Kokoda. Although the trek is demanding both physically and mentally - kudos to Jake who ensured all trekkers are well looked after and motivated. The team of porters engaged by AK are also outstanding individuals that did their very best to help the trekkers.
Truly an extraordinary, once a lifetime adventure...!

Adventure Kokoda June 2025 - The whole experience from booking the trip to the return flights home was well organised and transparent. The trek leader explained in detail about the battles at each site and briefed the group thoroughly each day on what the trail will be like each day. Food was simple but good and the porters were friendly and very helpful. Overall would recommend Adventure Kokoda to anyone interested in the trek

Adventure of a lifetime! - I recently completed the history trek with Adventure Kokoda with Peter Morrison as our trek leader. It was the most challenging, brutal, beautiful rewarding thing I’ve ever done and would strongly recommend this company to anyone planning on doing this.
Peter’s knowledge/passion of the war history was outstanding and his story telling was mesmerising. He is also one of the nicest worldly people you will ever meet which made the days easier and more enjoyable as he’ll chat to you about all sorts and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way.
It’s also very clear he’s loved by all the villages we passed through.
I brought my 14yo son with me and the support he was given was amazing. His personal carrier Rex was with him every step of the way either behind him holding his pack down steep descents or sliding down rocks or cutting through the jungle to get in front to help him down hard and dangerous parts.
We also both have coeliac disease which was accommodated for with a variety of different options.
This was well above my expectations and would 💯 use them again if I ever go again.

Adventure Kokoda: Kokoda Airstrip to Owers Corner in 8 days - I've just (2 weeks ago) completed the Kokoda Track with the most amazing bunch of people. 18 trekkers in all, 2 guides, plus personal porters totalling 20 and all the amazing crew behind the scenes who fed us well, set up our tents and kept us moving.
Adventure Kokoda really excelled at logistical management, quality equipment and support staff (guides, porters, welcome staff - everyone!). Our two guides, Peta in the lead and Brody as 2IC were amazing. Especially as they've both only done the trek themselves a few times. And whilst Peta has no military training or background, her research and sharing of quite a few accounts along the trek, really brought it alive and gave us more than a few moments of pause as we considered incredible acts of bravery and sacrifice.
Over the course of the 8 days we walked in the footsteps of giants. Giants of men who at the time had no idea of the future they were forging for the rest of us. ANZAC Day will have a new meaning for me now. I’ve stood in the exact spot where young men sacrificed their lives so that others could preserve theirs.
do know that at some stage I will do the trek again – from Owers Corner back to Kokoda and I will absolutely choose Adventure Kokoda when I do. I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to take this journey with some incredible people and I feel that I’ve been on somewhat of a pilgrimage, rather than just a bloody hard slog of a trek.
These memories are forever forged and I have a much deeper understanding and appreciation for those who embodied the principles of Courage, Mateship, Sacrifice and Endurance back in 1942. Thank you to Adventure Kokoda and especially to Peta, Brody and the rest of the crew. And finally to my little mate Guyford, who kept me upright more than a few times and was my shadow when I needed it the most.
Quite simply, this has been the trip of a lifetime.

Unforgettable 8 days - We completed Adventure Kokoda’s 8 day trek led by Peter Morrison in August 2024. It was an amazing experience, that challenged us both physically and mentally. Peter was the absolute best.. he demonstrated his passion and respect for the history of the trail everyday, and went above and beyond in numerous ways. The local people, being the group and personal carriers, were a major highlight for us. Highly, highly recommend!
Our only issue with the tour, was how we were treated on day 1, prior to leaving for the airport, by one of the Adventure Kokoda staff, Donald (who we were later informed is actually one of the senior staff members in the organisation). We were told we had 3 hours to pack and get organised (as we were on the 2nd flight of the day), however, about 20 minutes later we were told we were departing in 10 minutes. A few minutes later, as we were rushing around, packing our bags as quickly as possible, we had Donald at our hotel room door shouting at us, quite aggressively. We understand circumstances change quickly in PNG, however, Donald would do well to remember who the customer is. This experience left quite a sour taste in our mouths.
Overall we had a great experience. The people, the beautiful scenery and the rich history will be something we will remember forever.
