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 […]

Words can’t describe how great Dan (our Australian Trek leader) was he made my trek better than I could ever imagine. Thanks Dan you’re a great bloke!
The Trek Information Guide was very useful. The Fitness Guide was excellent. The singing of the crew was beautiful and inspirational. Their constant support and hard work was superb. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} knowledge of the history of the Kokoda campaign, the Track and the PNG people/culture was second to none – he made the trek. An incredibly special and unforgettable experience in so many ways.
Excellent Trek information guide. I would not have thought of all things that were covered in the guide. Gareth’s enthusiasm was contagious and his knowledge of Kokoda history was wonderful – he put my mind back 75 years. I had the best holiday ever on this trip. Loved IT!
Had an incredible time and really enjoyed the experience. Staying in the villages was a highlight!
The crew was very sweet, attentive and helped me so much whenever the terrain was difficult. They worked so hard and it was so great to meet their families on our rest day in Naduri.
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, Awesome and something I will remember always. Thank you for an experience I will speak about forever.
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.
Gareth (our Australian Trek leader) was Awesome. Personable, Knowledgeable, very good with people – made our trek an experience of a lifetime!
Thank you for an amazing experience that exceeded every expectation I had. The physical and mental challenge can’t be described in words and to be able to say that I completed the Kokoda Track is something that I will never ever tire of. The crew and porters are some of the most beautiful people. Their kindness, care and support is second to none. A great holiday. Thank you a million.
