Real adventure for real people — thoughtfully supported
At Getaway Trekking, we believe adventure shouldn’t be reserved for the super-fit or ultra-experienced. It’s for the curious, the everyday, and the people who feel a quiet pull toward nature and a deeper kind of experience. We take ordinary people out of their everyday life and into nature in small groups of like-minded adventurers, creating journeys that stretch comfort zones in a way that feels supportive, confidence-building, and genuinely empowering.
Each trek is crafted so you feel challenged and alive, not overwhelmed or unsafe. We provide preparation guidance, training tools and ongoing support before you even step onto the trail, and once you’re out there, our experienced team and crew look after every detail so you can focus on the moment — the landscape, the laughs, the insights, and the quiet sense of achievement every evening as the day’s walk becomes a memory.
For more than 20 years, Getaway Trekking has grown from a passion for meaningful adventure into a trusted guide to culturally and ecologically sensitive treks around the world — from Australia’s own landscapes to iconic trails like Kokoda, the Aussie Camino, Nepal’s mountain paths and more.
What makes us different is not just the places we go or the paths we walk—it’s the people we walk with. You’ll find camaraderie, new friendships, encouragement when you need it, and a team that’s with you every step of the way. By the time your trek ends, you’ll look back on what you’ve done with pride — not because it was easy, but because it was yours.
That’s the Getaway Trekking experience — real adventure, thoughtfully supported.

Adventure with Purpose
We believe adventure should mean something. Every trek is designed to challenge you just enough to grow, without overwhelming or pushing you beyond your limits.
Care and Safety First
Feeling supported creates confidence. From preparation to pacing to people, we prioritise safety, professionalism, and clear communication so you can focus on the experience.
Small Groups, Shared Journeys
Connection matters. We keep our groups small, so everyone feels seen, supported, and part of the journey. Many of our treks begin with strangers and end with lifelong friendships.
Respect for Place and Culture
We walk lightly. Our treks honour the landscapes we travel through and the cultures that shape them, fostering understanding, respect, and responsibility.
Growth Through Experience
Real confidence comes from doing. We believe people grow most when they realise they’re capable of more than they thought, step by step, at their own pace.
Although we have taken many adventurous souls to various destinations around the world, our principal destination remains the Kokoda Track in PNG. For many Australians, Kokoda is an iconic trek, and represents a growing appreciation of the bravery and sacrifice of our young diggers during the Kokoda Campaign. Getaway Trekking is recommended by DoKokoda.com for the Kokoda Trail.
