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 […]

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!
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.
Thank you for being a part of a great achievement for me in my life. Look forward to future adventures with Back Track Adventures.
Hats off to Martin (Australian Trek Leader), he was excellent. A very calming and knowledgeable guide.
Had an incredible time and really enjoyed the experience. Staying in the villages was a highlight!
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.
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!
Gareth, our Australian Trek Leader, displayed exceptional leadership, PR Skills, compassion, knowledge and kindness. Gareth really made the Kokoda experience unique and memorable. He was liked by all and he inspired everyone.
Our crew was unbelievable and the meals provided, considering everything we ate was carried by them, was first class.
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.
