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.

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.

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.

Travis has been leading tours over the Kokoda Track for the past 6 years. With a thorough focus on preparation & risk management, he brings a targeted approach to ensure your safety in undertaking this journey.

Over the past 17 years, Getaway Trekking has established a reputation for leading culturally and ecologically sensitive treks in many destinations. Our vast experience in trekking, combined with our understanding of local culture has contributed to us becoming a leader in the trekking area.
