Leading culturally and ecologically sensitive trek and adventure operator - Kokoda Trail This isn’t about racing to the finish.

Getaway Trekking runs small group, multi-day treks that help everyday people push their limits, explore some of the most beautiful and meaningful destinations on earth, and come home with a story they’re proud of. You don’t need to be super fit, or have climbed Everest to join a Getaway Trek. You just need a sense of adventure and the courage to step outside your comfort zone. Whether you’re walki

ng the Kokoda Track, hiking the UK countryside, or taking a spiritual pilgrimage on the Aussie Camino, We’ll guide you every step of the way—not just from point A to B, but through the emotional journey that comes with doing something big, challenging, and unforgettable. It’s about giving yourself the space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect—with nature, with others, and with yourself.

We were honoured again yesterday to be asked to lay a wreath on behalf of the trekkers who cross the Kokoda Track at the Kokoda Day service held at One Tree Hill. Thankyou Richie Richardson for joining us on the day. We are very proud to be included in this service.

A long day today for Wayne, Ryan and the FSA team. They left Ioribawa this morning with a challenging ascent to Ioribawa Ridge, offering panoramic views and a sense of solemn reflection. A sharp descent into the dense rainforest, numerous river crossings, slippery muddy trails and one long final climb opens up to the picturesque village of Nauro, home for the night. Hopefully everyone will have cameras ready in the morning for one of the most photographed areas on the track.

Ryan, Wayne and the FSA team had their first full day on the track. A little leg weary, they will be feeling good about all the training they had put in prior to starting their adventure. All now safely in camp, they will be hearing about the stories of battle and preparing to climb to the top of the Ridge tomorrow, the furtherest point reached by the Japanese.

Ryan, Wayne and the team have called in from camp on their first night on the Kokoda track.
We look forward to hearing stories on their return.

Troy and the Dardanelles, Gallipoli Battlefield tour, 2025

05/08/2025

Mike, Dave and Russ have spent the day wandering around the ruins of Troy. This is a UNESCO world heritage site. They visited some second world war bunkers and after a small climb up beside the bunkers, they were afforded beautiful views across the Dardanelles.

Gresham and the July 27 team have finished the track! They are now at our River Camp in Kokoda with John and Alice, having dinner. A strange feeling in the air... excited at what has been achieved but sad that it is finished. New friendships made, stories to be told for years.

03/08/2025

A Battlefied tour of Gallipoli is our newest destination and it starts today with a tour of Istanbul. We look forward to hearing from Mike, Russell and Dave as they explore Troy, Anzac Cove and Lone Pine over the next 10 days.

03/08/2025

One more day of walking for Gresham and the July 27 team. They arrived into Isurava Battlefied Memorial camp ground. They are weary but well. The day started misty but ended up dry, clients and crew are having an early night as they will hold a service in the morning before making their way to Kokoda.
