The Big Tiki

Epic trip! Covering both the North and South islands of NZ I did everything I wanted to. I feel like what I did in 3 weeks it would take others months. Very detailed itinerary and also so stress free! Rae and John (Masso) made it so much fun and took care of anything we needed. Great leaders and would highly recommend them and Contiki to anyone else. Will definitely be travelling with you again! Thanks guys!

Good feedback is no feedback, cause that means the trip was perfect :)

Everything was amazing our trip manager and bus driver were incredible. The whole trip was amazing from start to finish. Everyone on the trip was so kind and caring and you make incredible friends. Our trip manager was amazing at giving advice and helping us out.

Everything I did I enjoyed, didn’t waiste any money anywhere! Everything was so much fun! Made great friends with complete strangers!

Je pense que c'était la meilleure façon de voir la Nouvelle-Zélande. J'aurais aimé rester un peu plus longtemps à certains endroits ou arrêter un peu plus pour des poses photos, mais c'était un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Beaucoup d'activités facultatives également et elles étaient toutes vraiment super!

Trip manager was average. The big tiki was AMAZING! 19 days through the north and south did not disappoint. I felt like i saw all of NZ and did everything from bungy jumping to wine tasting.

Totally value for money with the inclusions, accommodation and coach. The itinerary matched start to end and there were no shades of grey! Hannah and Dylan were honestly dream team, wouldn't change a thing! #Majestical

The tour was great, alot of fun. However our tour manager Bryce wasn't much help at the beginning to introduce everyone and get more involved with the group. We didn't do speed dating and the other introductory games like my previous contiki had done so was disappointed with that. Was also disappointed with the lack of involvement Bryce had in our contiki tour group. Perhaps running 4 tours back to back takes a toll on the manager. The people on our tour made it alot of fun and easy to enjoy the tour. Travelling can be quite daunting (I had my sister with me, but I can imagine solo travelling would be more daunting) so to then have to introduce yourself to 50 odd people with no help from the contiki team was hard. There was 1 of the travellers that made it easier by asking a series of different questions to other travellers and got some of us involved to get to know the people around us (But again, no thanks to Bryce).

There wasn't one part of our trip that we didn't enjoy and we saw so much of this beautiful country. We did things we never expected to do but when you're having this much fun you want to get as much out of the trip as possible- this was down to the product but also our driver and tour manager too.

Amazing! Definitely worth what you pay. There is no way my partner and I could’ve done this trip by ourselves for the same price. The included activities (milford sound, hobbiton and lauras farm just to name a few) are so amazing and awesome that its included. The hotels are all great and the team were amazing.

It was my first contiki tour and it was fantastic for the full 19 days

I loved it, it was a once in a lifetime experience

The inclusions for this trip (in comparison to a Australia contiki that I did previously) were not very good. “City tours” were 5 extra minutes on the bus telling us where the hotel was... Milford sound was the only inclusion I was truly impressed by. For the value of this trip I feel like a lot more could have been offered and it should not have been completely driven by having to fill your time with the extra activities.

The connections and also the in-depth knowledge made the whole trip that much better

Excellent product and service! Experience of a lifetime! Highly recommended!!

The trip itself was of good value, especially with breakfast included every day and the accomodation being very good and in great locations!!!

Simply amazing! Easy and professional

Worth every penny, so much included. Transport and accommodation was so much better than I'd expected

The tour cover almost all the important parts of New Zealand. I was able to back track to Milford Sound as an add on.
