Northern Highlights (Wellington to Auckland)
Awesome 'Sweet As'
I was a bit unsure when I first joined the tour as My brother & I added on to another Contiki group that had being together for 13 days. It was a smaller contiki size and in the end I had a great time and the smaller group allowed us to mix in easier and become a little family. If you find yourself adding into a pre existing group don't be afraid just jump in and join along in the fun.
Some extra Activities I did were Black Water Rafting in Waitomi which was a great experience floating in darkness in a tube with glow worms above you, Water rafting in Rotorua included going down a 7metre waterfall :) I checked out thermal activity in Rotorua and the Zorbing is excellent and a must. Bay of Islands I did Day trip to Cape Reinga to see the tip of NZ and Sandboarded down a huge sand dune. Also a must is the Lake Taupo Night Boat trip lots of fun :) Don't feel like you need to pre work out your activities as your contiki guide will assist and talk you through your options.
The contiki experience was such a great one I would love to take my husband along for the next one (even though i ended up with a cold), I had no real expectations but found the accommodation exceeded expectations (I was expecting bunks/ backpackers and learnt actually min 3 stars). The guide Sarah & driver Trent did a fabulous job and went well above and beyond to make you feel welcome & be part of the contiki family.
