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.
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Amazing Trek!
Beautiful scenery. Excellent Australian Trek leader, Tony, and great company from my fellow trekkers. Enjoyed it immensely. I had my birthday on the trek and that’s the most memorable and special one I’ve ever had.
Hats off to Martin (Australian Trek Leader), he was excellent. A very calming and knowledgeable guide.
Kathy was, and is, a fantastic trek leader and a jewel in the Back Track’s crown. A wonderful company providing once in a lifetime experiences!
