Always confident of our safety

Please pass on my thanks to the team in Moresby for looking after us on our recent Kokoda trip. We had a fantastic guide and we were always confident of our safety, comfort and every wish attended to. A great team, all the carriers and crew, hotel staff fantastic. Look forward to going back and spending more time out there.... More

Very big thank you

I would like to send a very big thank you to the guys and girls at Kokoda Spirit. In all it was a trip of a lifetime and one that I certainly not forget. We had a brilliant time and there are going to be so many things that I am not going to be able to explain to people. Most of them are small things that the boys did for us, they meant a lot to us and I hope that they felt the same way about some of the things that we tried to do for them. ... More

The trip was extremely awesome

The trip was extremely awesome, absolutely amazing and a bloody great time was had. The boys made the trip for us, they were there all the time always helping and making sure we were all OK and were well looked after. We had many a good laugh with them and spent many nights around the fire, talking, telling jokes and just having a good time. ... More

A very capable team

Back on deck after a short break in Surfers post trip. All went well and we had a great time. As you may be aware we pushed ahead and ended up finishing the track sooner then expected, although being in a small and fitter group this was our preference, rather then spending half days in villagers sitting still- you guys were great in being flexible and adapting to the changes. ... More

Really enjoyed the track

This is Justin, you took my football team on the trek. I just wanted to say thanks and say goodbye to Mack, Slave, Lee, Frank, Jason Taylor and everyone else. I really enjoyed the track. Thanks heaps, Bonni, everyone says goodbye.... More

Best adventure holiday

Congratulations on organising the best adventure holiday I have ever been on. Helen in the office in Moresby was terrific. The team of Guides and Porters were first class. They new the track intimately and knowledge of the history was really good. Their professional manner and friendly disposition made for a great trip. Thanks guys see you next year.... More

What a sensational trip

What a sensational trip, it was harder then what I imagined. I was so glad I followed your training regime in certainly help. Alan our trek leader new the trail like the back of his hand and took great care in setting the right pace for us over some of the more difficult places. I always felt safe and confident I would successfully complete the trek. Thanks Guys for helping me to achieve my dream, ... More

Your knowledge and passion for the trail is amazing

Trekking with you guys across the Kokoda Trail was simply the most wonderful and life changing experience we have ever had. Nothing in our lives could have prepared us for this experience. Nothing in our lives can compare with this experience. Nothing in my life now will be impossible. Thank you to Gideon, Alan ,Lee, Marshall, little Ted and the rest of the team. Your knowledge and passion for the trail is amazing. I was very honoured to know you guys and trek with you guys. Thank you so much. ... More

What a simply awesome trip

We made it! What a simply awesome trip. Thank you so much to you and the boys for your professional approach in our preparation for the trek and the care and friendship that the Kokoda Spirit team gave us. Their knowledge of the trail and its history is outstanding. The food was sensational! A special thanks to Helen in the office who did a fantastic job in organising us. She went out of her way to show us some of the sites of Moresby. A huge asset for Kokoda Spirit You should be very proud of your team. I certainly will be telling everyone to trek with Kokoda Spirit. ... More

An adventure of a lifetime

I contacted Kokoda Spirit to arrange a trek under the worst possible conditions, I had heard about your trek leader and thought if anyone can run the track then he must be mad enough to take up the challenge of being first over the track for the season, during monsoon conditions and complete it in 5 nites!!... More

Wonderful experience on the Track

I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the wonderful experience on the Track recently. I thoroughly enjoyed myself albeit ( as Wayne knows ) the mud drove me nuts from about Day 7. Your company was well run, professional and I felt in good hands at all times. Please feel free to use my endorsement in any way that might be of assistance to you. ... More

Thank you for a great holiday

Home safely, although delayed one day because of the planes. Nick and I just wanted to thank you for a great holiday. The people involved were what made the trek-everything, from divorce barristers to business owners to working class Australians. Please also thank Michelle and Fay for their troubles.... More

The best holiday ever

Just a short note to say thanks for the best holiday ever. Both Jeff and I asked each other the end of day one what the hell were we doing there but with the help of the porters and leaders we were able to make it to the end and even more, enjoy it.... More

The amazing experience I had doing the Kokoda Trail

The excellent guidance from Bonney and team on the track helped make the trip for me. They were just such a wonderful group, I can still hear them singing along the way when the rest of us were struggling for breath, every time I think about it I can’t help but smile. There were so many times when I looked at them with amazement and respect, they just seem to be able make anything out of virtually nothing. ... More

Thank you all for the friendships

I hope you have all recovered from the walk. It is funny how the more time passes, the easier it seems. Over the last couple of days, I have posted your photos and a copy of the Sunrise program. If you have any problems with them, just send me an email and I will do my best to help. ... More

Would highly recommend Kokoda Spirit

The footrot has cleared, my muscles no longer hurt and sometimes I find myself flushing toilets just for fun, but all in all seriousness, thanks heaps for an awesome trek. I'm sure everyone would agree its something you will never forget.....a big highlight for me was also Alijas City Tours, just getting a small taste of PNG life was so eye opening, meeting all the people in the markets and on the public buses was just great.....thanks also to Rob, Morris and Karren for the photos.....you guys done a great job.....would highly recommend Kokoda Spirit to anyone.... More

Overwhelmed by the level of competence

Just like to say we had a great trip and that we would recommend you to anyone! We were overwhelmed by the level of competence and knowledge of your guides and porters. Your crew does a supreme job and that husband of yours isn't a bad bloke either! He never failed to deliver on his daily promise of a having a "good walk" in store for us. We had a fantastic trip which we will never forget, so thank you.... More

Totally enjoyed my Kokoda experience

Yes thank you I totally enjoyed my Kokoda experience and haven't stopped talking about it since arriving home. I also wanted to pass on to you and I did let Bonnie know that your website is one of the best, had all the information that I required. Our porters and guides were also amazing. Wanted to thank all involved for making the trip the most memorable experience.... More

Wonderful Trek along the Kokoda Trail

I have just returned from PNG with your Company and wish to convey my sincere thanks for having organised such a wonderful Trek along the Kokoda Trail (Track) - climbing up, down, around and along the rugged rainforest Of the Owen Stanley Range.... More

Treated me as one of their own

I had the best time ever on the trek. I can't begin to explain how great it was. The porters were the most fantastic group of people I have ever met, they looked after me and treated me as one of their own and because of this I have made some lifetime friends. The whole experience has made me appreciate everything in life much more than I ever did.... More

A once in a lifetime experience

Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic trip we had with your company. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The boys did an amazing job to make our trek memorable and "went the extra mile" at every opportunity, even taking us to a safe market on our return to Moresby. We were constantly amazed by the history of the place and the beauty of the mountains. We were grateful that we went with a small party as we saw a "huge" group in action and we enjoyed learning about the culture from the boys. Thank you once again. Do you have any plans to send down the t shirt- I'm keen to wear mine with pride.... More

Extremely emotional experience

I have just returned from PNG on the Victorian RSL Trek with your Company and wish to convey my sincere thanks for having organised such a wonderful Trek along the Kokoda Trail (Track) - climbing up, down, around and along the rugged rainforest of the Owen Stanley Range. It was challenging, gruelling, physically demanding and extremely emotional experience for me, and as a Vietnam Veteran, I am in complete awe with a further enhanced knowledge of just what our diggers in 1944 had to endure as they continually held back the advancing elite Japanese army. ... More

An authentic PNG experience

As the coordinator of this Kokoda Pilgrimage I found Kokoda Spirit to be an outstanding trek company. You would be aware that as a college based excursion all safety, legal, pedagogical and personal elements involving young people would have to be scrutinised. I looked very carefully at several companies and you were the best. ... More

KOKODA!!!

There was so much we bought home from this trip, the early highlights were before the track itself. Sunday September 10 we bid farewell to our generous families who funded our venture and flew to Sydney, here we visited and stayed overnight at Mary MacKillop Place. I felt proud to come from a school named after this great Australian, yet I also felt a little embarrassed that there was comparatively so little that I knew of her. ... More

A very professional tour company

On 25/09/06 I was trekking from Hoi having started from Kokoda the previous day having booked the trip with Nuigini Tours. On the night of 24th I became quite dehydrated which continued into the next morning as I started to walk over the next 4 hours, I became weak, losing fluids, getting a little disorientated, I was really struggling. ...

Mission Australia Kokoda Spirit Challenge

From the very first contact with Kokoda Spirit their enthusiasm and exceptional customer service shone through with quick responses and a ‘spirit’ which suggested that we had made the right choice in choosing our ground crew and trekking company.... More
