Kokoda Tours

Brigade Hill Mission Tours

South Sea Horizons and Brigade Hill Mission Tours (BHMT) have combined forces to promote local guided tours along the Kokoda Trail.

BHMT is a local Kokoda Trail trekking company owned by a cooperative of villages from Nauro village to Eora Creek. Together SSH and BHMT have designed a trekking package that places a focus on relationship building between porters and trekkers, personal attention and care for trekkers and satisfaction.

South Sea Horizons is a supporter of the International Porters Protection Group (IPPG) organisation which is an NGO that dedicates its time towards creating fair treatment for porters and guides.

SSH-BHMT trekking package consists of 6/7/8/9 Day treks starting at Ower's Corner and finishing at Kokoda. Trekkers are given the oppotunity of choosing which itinerary would best suit their capabilities and/or groups preference. All four tour itineraries are set a fixed package price.

Extended tour itineraries (Post Kokoda) are available for our trekker in the Special Options section of this page.
