Trekking the Kokoda Track can look to be the same with every single company on the Track, and there’s over 20 of us. How do you determine which company to go with? We have 36+ years experience taking small groups trekking around the world and have been trekking on the […]
While plenty of Aussies know a little bit about Kokoda, there are a lot of misconceptions held about actually trekking the Track and PNG in general. We are here to bust five common myths we get asked about all the time when it comes to Kokoda and trekking! MYTH #1: […]
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 […]

Mark from Team 12 is back from conquering the Kokoda Track with family members – his wife, two daughters and son. He puts the experience into words: We had a great time; it was certainly very challenging, but at the same time, enjoyable and great to do it with the […]
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!
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.
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.
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Amazing Trek!
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!
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.
Had an incredible time and really enjoyed the experience. Staying in the villages was a highlight!
The community were very genuine. So nice to meet such wonderful people – ‘Priceless’. Fantastic trip. Thank you to Dan {our Australian Trek Leader} and all the Team at Back Track. Well done!
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.
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.
