As a frequent Contiki traveler, my purchasing experience for this trip was very easy. As always, the representative was helpful and ensured I secured exactly what I was looking for.

The tour was absolutely amazing one of the best things I've done. I went up the east coast in Australia, I was really nervous cause I never done anything like this before but It was easy to meet people and kat our tour guide was the best tour guide ever. She helped people through hard times and she always got included in activities. It felt she felt like she wanted to be there rather than she had to be there cause it was her job. 100% recommended.

This trip was a great value for money and the amount you do and the area you cover in 14 days is amazing! Sydney,Bryon bay, Noosa Everglades, Whitsundays, Cairns and Cape Tribulation. Sailing around the Whitsunday’s was a highlight for me, stunning views and beach! A really pinch me moment! Not forgetting Cairns is the gateway to the reef and that really is something magical! I throughly recommend this trip to everyone.
