Oceania 5-Day Tours and Trips

The tour was beautifully planned with a range of experiences, mostly in national parks and including world Heritage Areas I've wanted to visit for decades (Nitmiluk gorge, Kakadu). Our guide was outstanding, one of the best I've encountered anywhere in the world. The driver is also qualified as a guide in the world heritage sites and she was extremely able in both roles. Accommodation is as good as can be expected in remote areas subject to flooding and we were very impressed with the speed of recovery in recently flooded areas. Food at a couple of the hotels was excellent, much higher standard than I expected in such remote areas and it was perfectly adequate everywhere. Frequent stops were planned for rest breaks. All in all a brilliant experience.

Exceeded expectations! The BEST trip manager and bus driver duo. Short bus drives, great accommodation. So many amazing activities to choose from. Everything planned for you, you can just switch off and enjoy!

I had an incredible time in my trip, everybody was so nice. The activities etc. were all scheduled for us, which gave us a lot of time to just hang out together. I wasn’t stressed about anything because I knew it was all taken care of.

The 5 days gave a good look at Tasmania with some very worthwhile stops of interest. The accommodation was of a high standard with good size rooms. A bit unfortunate that the room in Hobart had a big window that looked out onto a concrete wall about 80cm away. The sites we stopped at were of historic interest. The lavender farm was great but a pity not in flower. Loved the walk to Cape Tourville lighthouse and the views of the coast.

So tempted to try to knock off a few great walks as the years slip by? Join this perfect honey of great walk tasters. Within lies the relaxing level nature walks in forest crowded with amazing lush undergrowth, or light- filtered lighter growth; then onto more challenging stuff such as Routeburn's Key Summit or Ben Lomond saddle. All this and always guided by our lovely young whizz-kid guides. And don't forget incredible meals appearing regularly.

I had the most amazing trip and met so many people, while getting to explore some unbelievable locations - including the Bay of Islands during this short trip. I only regret not booking a longer trip. Contiki made it so easy - all I had to do was show up! The trip manager and bus driver were both really helpful and made the trip worthwhile.
