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 […]

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 […]
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!
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.
A challenging trek but Matt our Australian Trek leader was excellent. An encyclopaedia of knowledge, passionate about the history and fun!
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!
Thank you so much Ray (our Australian Trek Leader) for giving me a far better understanding of the events and hardships experienced by our diggers during this bloody conflict. I learned so much and will encourage others to experience it.
Michelle, our Australian Trek Leader, was an amazing trek leader who made the trip absolutely incredible with her positive energy. I had an amazing and challenging trek with an amazing leader and team.
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.
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.
Gareth (our Australian Trek leader) was Awesome. Personable, Knowledgeable, very good with people – made our trek an experience of a lifetime!
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.
