Hangi, hikes and hidden corners: a deeper dive through the real New Zealand.

This isn't just another Contiki New Zealand trip - it's an invitation to live like a local in Aotearoa. Over 15 days, prep a traditional hāngī with your Māori hosts before falling asleep in a wharenui (meeting house) at a Special Stay Marae. From Rotorua's geothermal valleys to the golden shores of Abel Tasman, then on to the rugged South Island West Coast, you'll paddle at sunrise, carve your own sandstone treasure and feast on whitebait fritters by the campfire. Immerse yourself in New Zealand, unplugged, authentic and unforgettable.

Trip was easy to book but inability for group bookings to pay their own amounts separately was a large issue. Inability for contiki to email each group member directly was also an issue. Would not do a group booking again because of it. Absolutely amazing trip. Felt like we got to see every part of
