THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU ENDLESS ‘SWEET AS’ MOMENTS ON THIS ULTIMATE NZ MINI-BREAK

Over 20 optional adventures & a banquet of inclusions; this is going to be a week to remember. The brave will hurl themselves down a hill in an inflated OGO ball, the more chilled will take a boat cruise around the Bay of Islands. Then we'll all compare notes of Hobbits, fish 'n' chips, the Haka over a few drinks in the city of Auckland.

WHAT YOU GET

5 nights accommodation

5 nights in Hotel

Throughout your trip you’ll be getting your beauty sleep in comfy beds in cosy multi-share rooms. Your accommodation will always be located in the heart of the action, with communal areas for you and your new best friends to relax and socialise.

7 included Meals

2 Dinner, 5 Breakfast

We'll get 9 of your meals, you get the rest. You can expect a healthy breakfast every morning, as well as a traditional Maori Hangi and a BBQ or roast along the way. We'll also give you plenty of opportunities to try the best gourmet eats in NZ.

Team

Expert Trip Manager, Driver and Local Guides

A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life. An expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps. Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past. This is your team. Smart, friendly, fun, and integral to everything we do.

Transport

All transport included during the trip

Included in your trip is transport around New Zealand on our fleet of comfy, state of the art coaches. They're kitted out with all the necessities: USB charge points, WiFi, Air Con and a rocking sound system. You bring the other essentials, like tunes, friendships and stories from the night before.

Your group

Travel with other 18-35 year olds from around the world

Our trips are exclusively 18-35. This means you'll be travelling with people just like you, from all over the world- laughter and friendships always guaranteed.

Experiences

7 included, 14 optional that you can add

The coolest thing about travelling with Contiki is all the extra stuff included while you’re rambling around New Zealand. Visit the magical Hobbiton, explore NZ’s native bush at Parry Kauri Park and experience a traditional Maori Hangi dinner and concert in Rotorua. You'll also see the Waitemata Harbour, made famous by America's Cup.

#NOREGRETS

I haven't done a Contiki before and i have already made a list of things to come back and do. The only issue is that the Sun and Steam tour was also on the same bus at the Big Tiki, so when they continued south, i actually finished in Rotorua and they organised a bus to take me back up to Auckland.

Customer Experience Needs Improvement. .

False advertising a 6 day tour when it is actually a 5 day tour. We didn't get a chance to see a Kiwi bird. Hobiton should not be included in tue tour. We are not into LOTR and would have preferred to see the Kiwi hatchery instead. Far to many tour groups crammed into the one bus made it an awkward and divided group.

Contiki - the trio of a lifetime

A great mini-trip that showed us some of the highlights of the North. We jumped in on all of the action-packed add ons & had the best time!

Perfectly organised

Everything was great except flight centre didn’t tell me who would be getting me from the airport, that was EXTREMELY frustrating and scary but everything else was amazing

Only ok.

Not happy with this tour. Still glad for the experience. The tour guide was happy and nice i believe the structure itself is bad.

Contiki was everything I could have hoped for and more! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The value for the price was fantastic.
