By Anna Cochrane – Team 16, 2018 In November of 2016, I decided to set the goal of doing one of, if not the hardest, jungle treks in the world! This set me on a path of training, training and more training. All the feedback I had from friends or […]

It was an excellent trek. It was very challenging physically and often quite emotional at the key points along the trek where we paid homage to the Australians how fought in the 1942 campaign. I struggled at times on the Track, however John (our Australian Trek Leader), made sure I was well looked after which was much appreciated.
Amazing. Words cannot express my gratitude to Back Track for the experience. The crew were sensational. Quiet to begin with but really opened up and I learnt so much. Memories, laughs and stories, I’ll treasure forever with them. Just a massive thank you again. Trip of a Lifetime! I want to book another adventure with you!
Gareth (our Australian Trek leader) was Awesome. Personable, Knowledgeable, very good with people – made our trek an experience of a lifetime!
It seemed very expensive at first but after having completed the trek, I see where the money goes. The local trekking crew was fantastic, wonderful. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} was magnificent – That man needs an award!
Well organised and a caring team made this ‘a trip of a lifetime’. Thank you. I cannot praise Dan {our Australian Trek Leader} and the local crew enough. My porter was amazing.
Gareth, our Australian Trek Leader, displayed exceptional leadership, PR Skills, compassion, knowledge and kindness. Gareth really made the Kokoda experience unique and memorable. He was liked by all and he inspired everyone.
Hats off to Martin (Australian Trek Leader), he was excellent. A very calming and knowledgeable guide.
Michelle, our Australian Trek Leader, was an amazing trek leader who made the trip absolutely incredible with her positive energy. I had an amazing and challenging trek with an amazing leader and team.
A trip like Kokoda must have a leader who knows the history very well. Jim brings the campaign to life and will be hard to match.
I felt really safe and well looked after. Lots of laughs and positivity. Loved it, can’t believe I got there! Best experience of my life! Thank you all so much.
