Whether you’re an active traveler, adrenaline junkie, or just culturally curious, an adventure trip around New Zealand will check all the boxes and then some. New Zealand has become a top destination for adventurers looking to feed their adrenaline cravings and let’s face it, rest & relaxation are way overrated! Waterfalls, geothermic mud pools, glaciers and never-ending skylines… traveling with Contiki is the ultimate way to experience all that this amazing country has to offer.

So, you think you’re an adrenaline junkie? Push yourself to the limits in the land of skydiving, bungee jumping, speed boating, volcano hiking, black water rafting, quad biking and more.

Experience the best of Southern New Zealand on our ‘Sweet As’ South Contiki trip. From Christchurch to Queenstown to Lake Ohau, this trip is an adventure you won’t ever want to end. In Franz Josef you’ll hike a glacier, then you’ll go bungee jumping… or canyon swinging… or how about both? It’s only slightly terrifying at 109 meters to the bottom of the canyon and it’s sure to get your blood pumping. That’s what we call a New Zealand adventure. Too intense for you? How about a scenic flight over Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak?

Or take one of our most popular tours, the Kiwiana Panorama. Here you’ll hit up Rotorua where you’ll go ogo balling (yes, that’s a real thing), then chill out in a Polynesian spa where you’ll get to swim in Rotorua’s geothermic mud pools. Drive along the Kapiti Coast, go cruising on Lake Taupo, then head to the adventure Capital of the World, Queenstown where you’ll take a spin on the iconic Shotover Jet! Top off your trip by experiencing Queenstown's legendary nightlife before saying farewell to all of your new friends.

And don’t forget the incredible food. Authentic BBQ, world-class coffee, fresh tropical fruits, and local seafood with leave your mouth watering. Because immersing yourself in New Zealand culture and food is one of the best adventures around.

Travelers who take New Zealand adventure tours with Contiki come to this beautiful country with an open mind and leave with a full heart. Dare to prove otherwise?
