Great Way to See the East Coast in a Short Period of Time
This was my second trip with Contiki and once again I had a great time! Everything was well organized, fun Free-Time Add-Ons, went to popular destinations in Oz & there was more flying than taking coaches, which saved us time at the next destination! Zam, our Tour Guide was amazing and a great guy to talk to and made the trip a lot better!! The trip was a bit fast for me as I would have preferred to have spent more time at certain places/destinations. Overall, thumbs up.

Beaches and Reefs (Start Sydney - Until March 2020)
Beaches and Reefs was everything I imagined it would be...and more. The included and add-on activities did not disappoint. Be aware to keep an eye on the costs for add-ons though, the tab adds up quickly. The trip manager did a great job keeping everyone informed and was very well organized. There were icebreakers at the beginning for our group of 30 and it paved the way for everyone to develop friendships more quickly. Icebreakers might be lame to some people, but it makes a big difference on trips where most people are solo travelers. Highlights were the Sydney bridge climb, Airlie Beach day sail, Cairns pub crawl, and Reef snorkeling. Some cons were the 10 hour train ride from Noosa to Cairns, and the uncomfortable beds at Noosa. Even with that however, there were too many pros and good memories to give anything less than five stars. Gilligan's Hostel in Cairns was superb.

The best trip I've ever done
Zam is amazing, the itinerary was planned really well. Also always ask questions if you have them to your trip manager!
Lastly enjoy the experience, the worst part is when it ends but it gives you the drive to want to do another trip.

Jayne was absolutely incredible!! She did such a great job coordinating, bringing the group together, making it a fun experience for everyone! She is amazing at what she does and really made my first trip to Australia Unforgettable. If every Contiki was like this it's the only way I'd travel solo!!

Outback Adventure (Start Darwin - Until March 2020)
Mark, the trip manager, was very knowledgable, helpful and organised. This is NOT a drinking/partying kind of trip. Instead, you get to take in the incredible sights the Northern Territory has to offer which is just magical.There are plenty of very early starts but what you see is so worth it. Before the tour started, I wasn’t really interested in some of the included activities but by the end of it, they actually ended up being my favourite part of the tour as they were so interesting. I went during the wet season which does not hinder the experience at all, so I would definitely recommend this tour, no matter the time of year.

Consistency is key
I would do this trip over and over again. I would recommend it to anyone. It is A LOT to do in 2 weeks, but if you only have 2 weeks to take a vacation - this trip is amazing to see the east coast of Australia. You have a lot of time to do as much or little as you want, but cmon in Australia you’re going to explore. We were busy from sunrise until last call most days but it was a once in a lifetime experience. Travel days were nice because you got some much needed down time. I loved the sailing, sleeping under the stars and waking up to the sunrise in the middle of the whitsundays was something I will never forget.

Trip of a lifetime
Just came back from the beaches and reefs trip in Australia and I would fly back tomorrow if I could! It’s the best time I’ve ever had on holiday and could not believe how much we did! Our trip manager Jayne was just brilliant she was so friendly, helpful and just such a great person to be around! She made everyone feel so welcome and really did make sure everyone had the best time! Jaynes knowledge and history of Oz was just fantastic and just showed how passionate Jayne was about her job! If you want to see as much as you can in Oz in a small amount of time I would 100% recommend this trip! I did most the add ins and especially loved the bridge climb and the jungle swing, and found kost of the group did a lot of extras too. We pre-booked the bridge climb and Barrier Reef trip before we went and just booked the rest through Jayne. The hostels you stay in are as good as hotels, with Gilligans being my favourite. I did do the two days sailing which again was great, and the crew your with make sure you are looked after plus feed you well!! There is nothing I would personally change on this tour apart from recommending people to book extra days at the end of the tour to enjoy cairns as there is so much more to do! Thanks Contiki for the best holiday of a lifetime and can’t wait to book again

Really helpful
100% the best thing I ever booked. My first Contiki trip and I’m already looking at more after this. You do and see so much, it exceeded my expectations. Jayne, our trip manager, was a dream!

Excellent Tours
Beaches and Reefs with Sailing was easily the best tour I've ever taken (my 8th group tour) and so glad I selected it for my great adventure Down Under. It was exactly as advertised and all of the included experiences were really fun, especially the sailing! I really liked that there were so many available add-on experiences so you could really customize the tour to your taste- I love action and adventure so I added on the bridge climb, ocean kayaking, canoeing, skydiving, scuba diving, and white water rafting, but others on the trip preferred to relax and have more beach time. Speaking of beach time, we were at the beach everyday, each more beautiful than the last! The accommodations are listed as hostels, but tbh they were nicer than most hotels I've ever stayed in. Included meals were also fairly good and I was satisfied. We had a lot of free time as well, but it was time well spent and not just dead time with nothing to do/see like other trips I've been on. Would highly recommend!

The trip was excellent! Wouldn't trade it for the wold but our trip manager was a bit of a let down. They did the bare minimum and didn't engage with us in a professional manner.

Mostly good few suggestions
The trip could been improved by all flights train journey to cairns was delayed and too long. Also the sailing should of been one night not two as second nighr in marina would of been nicer staying the hostel that night.

The best two weeks on the East Coast of Australia with some amazing people!
The whole trip was brilliant. Our trip manager Jayne was enthusiastic and helpful throughout, and very organised. I enjoyed every aspect of the trip, but especially meeting new people to travel with and witnessing some breathtaking views along the way!
