$3,850 10 Day Fully Australian Led Tour
Staying at all the Key Locations on the Battlefields

Perhaps you have a family connection, perhaps you have trekked Kokoda and would like to discover another unique part of PNG that is full of beauty and wonder or simply would like to undertake a pilgrimage that immerses you in our proud wartime history. The backdrop of the beautiful, rugged and sometimes harsh terrain of the PNG jungle, the very ground upon which the events of 1943 took place, sets the scene for our master story tellers to bring the voices of our ancestors to life.

Kokoda Historical wants you to get excited about Australian history! We aim to bring to life the many number of ordinary people that became extraordinary heroes of our proud nation. We are talking about the soldiers, civilians and Papuans that were embroiled in the Second World War in the jungles of New Guinea. They are true Australian heroes that stood between tyranny and freedom and-we will remember them.

Our Shaggy Ridge Tour comprises a non-trekking tour of Port Moresby and Lae along with a 6 day circuit trek of Shaggy Ridge and the Faria Valley. We have over a decade of experience in trekking the battlefields of PNG, studying our proud history, interviewing the veterans, serving in the Australian Defence Force and bringing the history to life through innovative methods.

We tailor every trek to ensure where possible that we stay at the key locations on the battlefields. Our standard Shaggy Ridge tour is 1o days which includes the return travel to PNG. This allows enough time to fully appreciate the history and to experience the unique culture of PNG. If you have a group booking of 6 or more people we can adjust the length and the departure/return dates to suit.

Our Shaggy Ridge pilgrimage will have you laughing, crying, leave you wet and muddy but safe & sound and with a lasting legacy of what it means to be an Australian.
