Trekking in August is the driest time of year to trek. Whilst it is a rainforest and we can’t guarantee that it won’t rain, we have found it to be less likely and more likely that you will have a dry track, making it more comfortable and the track easier to walk. Why not come in August and enjoy faster trekking days and more time to sit and enjoy the stunning settings that Kokoda has to offer. This trek heads north from Owers Corner to Kokoda. ​​​​
