Greg, our leader was just great! Highly organised, as we’d come to expect from being our Car Club President for some 8 years. Provided excellent insight into the history of the Kokoda campaign throughout the trek, very emotional it was too.

Our leader, Russell was fantastic. His love for the trail, the history, and helping people experience the best of Kokoda, is evident in the way he leads.

My experience completing the Kokoda trek with Getaway trekking was honestly amazing! The trek leader and PNG boys who assisted with the trek were all so welcoming and friendly and made it a thoroughly enjoyable trip with zero worries.

Absolutely amazing. Outstanding understanding of the history of the track and the individual battle stories. The porters were absolute fuzzy wuzzy angels and the group of 20 amazing people on the trek were awesome. The friendships made are forever lasting and the experiences will stick with me forever. Highly recommend Getaway

I recently completed the Aussie Camino Walk with Getaway Trekking & Adventures, a 9-day package including 7 days of hiking from Portland, VIC to Penola, SA, and I absolutely loved it! The trek offered diverse landscapes—beaches, cliff-top tracks, farmland, forests, old railway lines, and country roads—with magical coastal views, Australian wildlife like wallabies, echidnas, and koalas, and native flora. Following the life of Australia’s first saint, Mary McKillop, added a spiritual dimension, and the small, supportive group of 10 made for meaningful conversations and lots of laughs. The company’s ethos was inclusive, with a knowledgeable guide, a helpful support team, and a non-competitive atmosphere. Whether you’re after a rich hiking experience, a spiritual journey, or both, this is the hike to choose.

I recently joined the Aussie Camino with Getaway Trekking, organized by Deb Manders, and had an amazing experience. The journey was flawlessly planned, showcasing stunning locations with abundant flora and fauna. The accommodation and food were exceptional, offering comfort and nourishment after each day’s hike. The pilgrimage provided a perfect balance of exploration, personal reflection, and spiritual growth. The friendly group of fellow pilgrims created a wonderful sense of community, and Deb and our guide, Jonathon, ensured everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend this enriching and meaningful journey to anyone seeking a unique experience.
