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!
Gareth (our Australian Trek leader) was Awesome. Personable, Knowledgeable, very good with people – made our trek an experience of a lifetime!
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Amazing Trek!
The pre-trek documentation was invaluable. Gareth {our Austalian Trek Leader} was simply brilliant. The trek was everything I wanted and expected but even more it was worth every cent. Always love a Back Track Adventures trek and this one did not disappoint.
The team in the office and on the phone (Kylie & Clare in particular) was very helpful and willing to answer any questions. The food on the Track was very good and always heaps of it. Carla {our Australian Trek Leader} was a fantastic guide – very friendly, encouraging, supportive and engaging.
Trip of a Lifetime. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} made our trek memorable. His professionalism and knowledge of the Track is second to none.
I had a blast. Best thing I’ve done and I’d do it again with Back Track!
An amazing experience! The team was fantastic, from Damo to the trek crew to the personal porters. No one could have done more for me. I’ll definitely be back for another trek with Back Track.
The crew were awesome – Guide, protector, cook, porter and friend all in one. Sharlene {our Australian Trek Leader} was fantastic. Great people person and well organised. She helped make the trek a very memorable experience.
Our crew was unbelievable and the meals provided, considering everything we ate was carried by them, was first class.
