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 […]

Hats off to Martin (Australian Trek Leader), he was excellent. A very calming and knowledgeable guide.
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.
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.
Trip of a Lifetime. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} made our trek memorable. His professionalism and knowledge of the Track is second to none.
Had an incredible time and really enjoyed the experience. Staying in the villages was a highlight!
Thank you for being a part of a great achievement for me in my life. Look forward to future adventures with Back Track Adventures.
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.
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!
Having everything included in the package made it more enjoyable and so much less to organise. Joining in on the Saturday walk with Ray from Back Track was great training and preparation leading up to the trek. Sharlene {our Australian Trek leader} was a fantastic leader and looked after every one of us every step of the way.
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.
