DAY 1 - Auckland to Rotorua
Auckland
Laters Auckland! Today we drive through the lush farmlands of Waikato, an area that produces many of New Zealand's best Rugby players for the All Blacks, on route to Hobbiton Village. That's right, it wouldn't be a complete experience without a stop at the "Shire".

When you catch your first whiff of that .. 'unusual' sulphur smell, you'll know we've arrived in Rotorua. Famed for its spurting geysers, boiling mud pools & hot springs, gondola and speeding luge rides, Rotorua is a natural wonderland, and then some. Tonight the culture will sky rocket with a traditional Maori hāngi dinner & dance performance, and perhaps best of all, the chance to get involved in the world-famous HAKA. Tongues at the ready peeps.

A good thing really, given Lake Taupo is on the horizon.

Kiwiana Panorama (Auckland to Christchurch Winter)
Dylan was an awesome driver who was responsible when he had to but knew how to have a good time with us! Chels was very knowledgeable and was very helpful suggesting all the best food and tourist attractions. Overall the trip was amazing with awesome people.
As I said before, this trip had the perfect balance of inclusions and free time add ons. Our trip manager Susie and our driver Josh where absolutely amazing and I already cannot wait to go back to NZ! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
I feel that I saw a lot of the country and experienced the beauty of the culture. There weren’t too many travel days and I was able to fit in a lot of optional extras without missing out on group activities or feeling over tired. A good mix of high adventure and chill out time, and a great mix of people on the tour.
Most amazing experiences with other amazing like minded people all there to experience and have fun! Couldn’t ask for more! Loved every second of it and the Contiki guides and drivers are amazing too ??
the tour was amazing and the scenery was breathtaking. the only thing to improve it would be to make the longer tour offered by Contiki should end it Queenstown. and spend the few extra days going down to go through and see the places visited after Queenstown.
I had a great time on this tour. Rae was a great trip manager and got everyone involved.
My only complaint is that there were multiple tours on the bus, which meant people starting and finishing in different locations. I started the tour 3 or 4 days into the tour in Queenstown and it seemed like everyone has bonded already.
Great trip manager and driver, very diverse trip with a wide variety of activities. Got to tick off a lot of my bucket list items as well. Fell in love with New Zealand because of this trip!
The trip leader seemed more keen to hang out with her boyfriend in Queenstown. Not only did we not manage to see her but she also forgot to book activities for certain people on the tour. In Franz Josef it was even more of a coincidence that a group of her best friends just happened to be staying at the same place we were at. Moving onto the genuine lack of knowledge she had of New Zealand. I feel I could have just googled the places we were staying at and got more of an in-depth analysis, although it was great to hear from Lucy that every place was “chill”.
I guess now it’s on to the bus driver. Well where do I begin? From speeding to drinking the night before driving the bus to making inappropriate comments to the women on the trip to making me get my own bags out of the bus, this guy was by far the most inappropriate and unprofessional person I have ever met. The way he carried on and created drama really affected my trip and make it extremely awkward and uncomfortable.
The trip itself was fine, the people in charge were a disgrace. I will not be booking through contiki ever again.
