BACK TRACK ADVENTURES

We proudly share with you comments some of our Clients have made about us, our team and our services:

On behalf of our merry band of Government House trekkers, thank you for a great trip over the Kokoda Track.

"I do want to extend to you and all the staff at Back Track both in Brisbane and Kathmandu the sincere thanks and appreciation of all those who participated in the St Margaret's Centenary Trek. Your organisation of all details from lists of equipment, to successfully managing the chaos of international Airports was meticulous and gave us all so much reassurance. Thank you for making possible our trip of a lifetime."

"Just a note to say thanks for organizing a great trip for Cathy and I!"

C.C., National Centre for studies in Travel and Tourism

 Just a quick email to say thanks for organising a brilliant holiday! Especially at such short notice. Cath and I had a ball. The tour operator in nepal was fantastic as were the guides/porters. Nepal was the highlight by far..  Thanks again for all your assistance. Your service was far superior to that of which we had received from (Name).......

. I was so impressed, last week I recommended a friend to use  your services - (name). Once again you guys were given very short notice but were able to organise a trip for him. He flew out last night very excited based on what I had told him about Nepal. I know he is in good hands with your travel agency. Have a great weekend.

This is just a quick "Thank you" to you & Back Track for initiating the Shaggy Ridge Trek. It had everything [and more] that I anticipated: eminently historical, picturesque, educative, relentless, physically & mentally challenging.
It seems to me that there are two major goals of a trek like Shaggy [ and Kokoda]: [1] Appreciation of our nation's history and of the experiences of my father's generation and [2] Learning about ourselves and how we adapt to challenging and adverse situations. Shaggy and Back Track provided those contexts for me in the company of great comrades. So once again, "Thank you".
 "Goodbye, Shaggy, you old bastard."

SHAGGY RIDGE (learn more about our Shaggy Ridge experience)

Thanks to Ray, Jenny,Steve and all the others who did the Track last month with me. A truly wonderful , Memorable , exciting experience. What an adventure . I miss being out there. I had the best time . Experienced and learnt so much about what happened there and the conditions our diggers had to endure. Best  Wishes to you all. 

Roger, Inaugral Shaggy Ridge Trek August 2008

Just a quick note to thank you and Back Track for an awesome experience of the Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp.  We found the trek amazing and Spencer was a fantastic Guide and Leader.  It was a trip that we will long remember for the magnificent sights and for the wonderful companionship of our fellow travellers. 

"We were treated to the best that Nepal had to offer without the feeling of distance from the locals, that comes from the run-of-the-mill package tours."

G.K., Beyond Dhaulagiri

Just a quick note to say loved the trip. Struggled with the altitude from Namche and probably the odd day of not drinking enough. Everyone I have spoken to is so impressed that everyone in our group who wanted to get to base camp made it, as we heard that on other companies, a fair number struggling with the altitude don't get there.

Heather was great with managing each of us and our trekking family. If it wasn't for her I don't know whether I would have made it and enjoyed my time away. Do feel a real sense of achievement. Your other staff in Nepal also all worked well together and made life on the trail easier.

Have passed your details onto those who ask along with a high recommendation

BOOTS IN BORNEO (learn more about Boots in Borneo)

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for the experience of Boots in Borneo. The scope of the trip was extensive from luxury, through physical extremes, emotional remembrance, closeness to nature and exhilaration. All this was made possible by the excellent attention to detail in the arrangements for our accommodation, transport and meals. I certainly was privileged to be part of this first time adventure.

My advice, if you are contemplating such a trip, is to go. Let Back Track Adventures take you there and you will be in the care of a safe, competent and experienced company. I would do it again."

Ian..(our Trek Leader)... where do I start... Ian was fantastic! The coordinator, the smoother, diplomat, endlessly cheerful and patient. A mine of information. I would travel to the ends of the earth with this guy ?

C.L., Kilimanjaro Safari 2007

"Thank you for all the care and consideration you showed me while we were travelling. I can't tell you what a difference it made to me, it really was the most marvelous holiday. Thank you once again for the experience of a lifetime."

J.R., Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia Safari

" I would just like to thank you for our recent trip to Africa and particularly to climb Mt Kili. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip especially the climbs of Mt Meru and Kili and also the safari afterwards. Sorry because I was so slow if I caused any problems with the group. If I had of went faster I probably would not have made the summits of both mountains'. Once again many thanks for organising this great trip and being our 'great white leader' - I would not have missed it for anything. Some of my photos are quite good and I look forward to our get together night whenever."

M.B., Kilimanjaro Safari 2005

MOROCCO  (Learn more about our Morocco holiday)

"A very belated thank you for a most memorable trip. Like many of the group in Morocco, we too are very experienced travellers & therefore know when a quality experience has been provided. Morocco was one of those rare experiences and it was for the following reasons:-small, but not too small a group,a varied itinerary from cities to towns, coast to deser tto mountains,opportunity to interact with the locals, be it eating, dancing,or squaring off with Moroccan spitting street vendors; clean, safe &  central hotels; time to explore by yourself if so desired; and spendinga few/couple nightsin the occassional hotel enroute. In addition to this, I really enjoyed the visit to Hamman & the camel trekinto the desert. All of this was enhanced by Balard's driving skills, Yacine's forte as a local guide and the daily reading according to the Phrophet RAY !.

Thanks for a wonderful experience & we look forward to seeing you at the group reunion on Saturday night.

Regards Brian & Rob ( Morocco 2007)

INCA EMPIRE   (Learn more about our Inca Empire holiday)

 Sorry it has taken so long for me to write, but finally I can write and tell you that my trip to Peru was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Even though I did not walk the trail, I feel that I for filled all my expectations & some. Machu Picchu was my main focus & after 2 days there I found it really hard to pull myself away. The optional walk upHuayna Picchu whilst tyring was an experience I will never forget. The view from the top is just fantastic. The decent is the most scary thing I have ever done but what goes up must come down as they say my photos will be a reminder forever.

The home stay on Taquile Island was a great experience. The waters of Lake Titicaca were cold( did not swim) but the water in the Humbolt current was freezing( even got Megan in for a quick dip)  I had many wonderful experiences on this trip, I could go on for pages but you have not got the time to read my epic, but I would like to say thank you to the Back Track team for putting together a great tour, fantastic guides( Megan is just the greatest organizer, friend & tour guide) Fabrizzio, well what can I say about a man who is so passionate about his country & culture & has such a  great desire to share it with other people. He was such fun to have on tour (not to mention to help order our dinners & drinks) He was like a walking encyclopaedia & we learnt so much from him
.

All the people on our tour got on so well & enjoyed each other’s company. That was a major bonus, & last week end while I was in Brisbane we had a get together & renewed friendships & shared photos & the funny moments. We hope to stay in contact & who knows may travel together some other time.

Kylee & I hope to travel to Egypt in 2010 so if you have any tours going there we would love some information so we can get planning.

Once again I thank you & the company for a great job.

Cheers R. M. ( Inca Empire 2008)
