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.
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.
I felt really safe and well looked after. Lots of laughs and positivity. Loved it, can’t believe I got there! Best experience of my life! Thank you all so much.
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 trip like Kokoda must have a leader who knows the history very well. Jim brings the campaign to life and will be hard to match.
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.
