The Papua New Guinean Kokoda experience. Running Kokoda tours with 100% local guided tour guides

About South Sea Horizons

South Sea Horizons (SSH) is a PNG based Kokoda track Tour Operator (ITO) that promotes and sells activity based tour on the Kokoda Track. We are a locally run operations with a strong community presence within the Kokoda Track community. SSH place a strong emphasis on conducting low impact tours and with an aim of assisting local Kokoda Track communities to develop eco-tourism products that are sustainable and easily managed by the community. We believe that SSH have a far superior ability to connect with local village operators and suppliers, acting as a quality control mechanism for our offshore clients. The Kokoda track is one of the many walking tracks in Papua New Guinea that existed long before the Europeans came into this part of the world. It was used for trade and cultural interaction between tribes and is still used for these purposes today. During the course of World War II, the Japanese decided to use this trail as means of ground attack against the Australians in Port Moresby. The idea was to take Port Moresby and use it as a base from which to stage a direct assault on Australia. One end of the track lies in the North of the country at a village called Kokoda. It winds up and down over the rugged Owen Stanley ranges and finishes in the south at Ower’s Corner not far from Port Moresby. Both the Kokoda and the Northern coastal plains was the scene of violent close contact jungle warfare as the Australians retreated in the face of the Japanese onslaught. The Japanese were finally stopped at Imita Gap as they had extended their supply lines too far in the rugged terrain and began to die of starvation. The Australians then chased them all the way back to the northern coastline. Today the remains of the war lie rotting in the jungle and the track has reverted to quiet solitude, disturbed only by occasional back packers and local walkers. There are several villages along its length inhabited by peace-loving, hospitable locals. These are the people who became known during the war as the “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels” because of their selflessness in helping wounded Australian soldiers.

A season finale to remember 🙏

What a way to close out the 2026 Kokoda season: hosting the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) on the Kokoda Track.

What we shared was far more than a historical trek, though that history, honoured with deep respect, remained at the heart of every day we spent together.

It became a true cultural immersion, a reciprocal exchange between Melanesian and Polynesian customs, woven together by our shared love of the church and Lotu. Along the way we discovered the common values that run through all Melanesian and Polynesian cultures: respect for our land, respect for our ancestors, and a commitment to always staying connected.

There were plenty of laughs, more than a few tears, and, of course, a whole lot of sweat. I honestly can’t think of a trip in recent months that has touched me more deeply than this one.

To everyone who was part of this trek, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We remain eternally grateful for the bond forged between Papua New Guineans and Australians on this Track more than eight decades ago. We’re equally grateful for the opportunity to partner with the RLPA, and we look forward to welcoming many more of these journeys in the years ahead.

Thank you, and we can’t wait to see you again on the Track.

What makes the Goroka Show different from any other cultural festival on earth?

The performers aren't professionals hired for the occasion. They are community members - elders, young men, women - representing tribes whose traditions reach back further than recorded history.

With South Sea Horizons, you experience that with context. With local guides who can tell you exactly what you're witnessing and why it matters.

The Solomon Islands ask very little of you.

Show up. Slow down. Let the water, the villages and the unhurried pace of island life do the rest.

Beneath the surface, some of the most biodiverse reefs in the Pacific.

South Sea Horizons will take you there properly.
