ABOUT US

Social travel for 18-35s

Don’t do it for the places. Do it for those shared moments. That widen eyes and fill up camera rolls. That turn shy hellos into tearful goodbyes.

Do it for the memories. When you danced ‘til the sun came up, laughed ‘til you couldn’t breathe, shared a part of yourself with the world, and got so, so much more in return.

Do it for a community you’ll be a part of for life. Welcome to social travel for 18-35s.

What is a Contiki tour?

A Contiki tour is an organized, culturally immersive trip led by expert guides, where travelers 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.

What does Contiki mean?

We take our name from the word ‘Continent’, which reinforces the company’s mission to connect travelers 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.

Can you go on Contiki if you are over 35?

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.

Is Contiki good for singles?

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

Can couples go on Contiki tours?

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