kokoda trek
It was in July, 1942 when our diggers went in to battle for our beloved country against Japanese forces. Today, ProSport walk in their footsteps, showing honour, valour and displaying signs of character our diggers would be proud of. We have a 100% success rate from over 20 trips in the past five years of operation, built through strong relationships, great food, being prepared and a great team.
Our job is to be there for your training, create friendships and bonds, guide you through the history and trek, motivate you
and watch you show mateship, sacrifice, courage and endurance, our four famous Kokoda Pillars.

Prepare for your trip
For the average person, there is absolutely no doubt the Kokoda Trail will be the toughest walk ever undertaken during their lifetime. The difference between “doing it tough” and thoroughly enjoying the experience is physical fitness.
We pride ourselves on mentally & physically preparing you as best as we can so you have a great experience. You don’t need to be an athlete to complete the Kokoda Trail, but you need to take a common-sense approach to your training and give your body adequate time to prepare for what is ahead.
We begin your preparation 6 months out and include circuit training, outdoor walks in rain, hail or shine and training carrying load, like a backpack, to ensure you are well conditioned for your Kokoda experience.
