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 […]

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!
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!
Our crew was unbelievable and the meals provided, considering everything we ate was carried by them, was first class.
I would like to express my gratitude for the wonderful experience Back Track has given me over the last couple of weeks. Every single person from Back Track on the Kokoda trek went above and beyond expectations, everybody! I loved the experience so much, and PNG in general, and can’t wait to return. Thank you, and biggest thanks to our gorgeous Carla and my amazing porter, Danny – beautiful, wonderful people!
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.
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.
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.
Hats off to Martin (Australian Trek Leader), he was excellent. A very calming and knowledgeable guide.
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.
Loved everything about the Track. Awesome value for money. Crew made the trip – fun to be around and great assistance. Gareth {Australian Trek Leader} was the most professional, knowledgeable, fittest, amazing, approachable, funny, awesome leader who made the experience all that more enjoyable.
