A Contiki tour is an organised, culturally immersive trip led by expert guides, where travellers get to explore new and interesting places and make friends from all over the world, with zero hassle, delicious meals included and multiple travel styles to choose from.

We take our name from the word ‘Continent’, which reinforces the company’s mission to connect travellers from all continents, and the word ‘Tiki’, which comes from the native New Zealand Maori good luck charm, which is where the company was initially founded.

Contiki tours are designed exclusively for 18 to 35 year olds. The company’s goal is to create memorable travel experiences that young people can resonate with, which means most of the facilities and activities would not be appropriate outside of this age bracket.

Contiki is great for singles or people traveling solo. In fact, 55% of our travellers join us on their own. Our group tours are packed with young, fun, authentic and like minded travellers from all over the world and they usually end with lifelong friendships.

Contiki is a great choice for young couples looking to explore the world with a group of young, like minded travellers, and who want all the accommodation and the itinerary sorted for them.
