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 […]
Nikki Moyes trekked the Kokoda Track with Back Track Adventures in 2017 (Team 1 and 2). This extract is from her book ‘Kokoda Trek: 75th Anniversary’ and gives the full story of her ten-day journey. Day 2, 18 April 2017: Martin’s rooster impersonation woke us at five am. He’d obviously practiced […]
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 […]
Trip of a Lifetime. Gareth {our Australian Trek Leader} made our trek memorable. His professionalism and knowledge of the Track is second to none.
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.
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!
I had a blast. Best thing I’ve done and I’d do it again with Back Track!
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!
Words can’t describe how great Dan (our Australian Trek leader) was he made my trek better than I could ever imagine. Thanks Dan you’re a great bloke!
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.
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.
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.
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!
