The Kokoda Trail is our most famous trek here in Papua New Guinea. It is steeped in WW11 history and is an emotional and physically challenging walk. We have spent many hours on the track opening up new areas for trekkers to visit pertaining to the Kokoda campaign.

Australian Kokoda Tours (AKT) was formed by Mick O'Malley after he decided to turn his passion for Australian war history, into a career telling the Kokoda Soldiers' stories to other Australians.

When you trek Kokoda with Kokoda Trail Expeditions, you help the village economy and provide employment for the lovely locals. This way we pay our gratitude collectively to their descendants, the selfless Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who helped carry supplies and stretcher wounded Australian diggers during the Kokoda Campaign in 1942.

Our Papuan leader is fully trained and briefed by Australian Paramedics and we have a strict protocol for emergency situations on all tours. We have a computer monitored GPS tracking system for all Papuan led tours which can relay information immediately back to Paramedics in Australia to assess any incidents or emergencies and implement emergency procedures if necessary.

The Kokoda Track is not only a beautiful, world class, jungle bushwalking experience, it is a trek into Australia’s wartime history. The Kokoda Track is as important a part of Australian history as Gallipoli. We believe it is a pilgrimage every Australian should experience in their lifetime.

When Vietnam Veteran Merv Hains first walked the Kokoda Track in September 2005, it was the beginning of the Kokoda Track Experience. Merv has since completed 20 trips over the Track and returns regularly to walk alongside trekkers young and old.
