Oceania 6-Day Tours and Trips

Was a very enjoyable experience with AaptKings we had no complaints the driver was tops our hostess with the hostess was full of knowledge thoroughly Could not ask for any better A 100%all round HOLIDAYA. Thanks to all involved.

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.

The trip was extremely fun and stress free for a first time traveller. I was extremely nervous to meet new people but everyone there was so lovely and I liked that our tour manager had meet and greets. The bus rides were fun and so were the group dinners. I would certainly go on another Contiki again. It's a great way to meet new people and now I have friends that I keep in contact regularly after the trip has finished.

Fantastic trip! Every day lived up to expectations, beautiful scenery from silo art, to rock formations,Murphy's Haystacks, stunning coastal scenery and caves, Big Galah, Coffin Bay the list goes on. So much packed into 6 days! Meals and accommodation were excellent and Delma,, our tour guide, and Darren our driver were first class!! Loved it

I did the 6 day 5 nights Rock patrol Tour with Groovygrapes, and first I was a little bit afraid that it's getting boring pretty fast, due to the fact what I thought it's just driving... BUT from day one I felt like very welcomed everyone was so kind too each other, and we get along nicely each other quite fast. And to be honest we had the best guide ever from A to Z it was just perfect his name is Shane, if you read this buddy you're the best, thanks for that!!! What really amazed me about him was his knowledge about aboriginal culture, very interesting. Besides that he really didn't felt like a guide too us, he became a friend instead what made our experience with Groovygrapes even better. Overall I have to say that Groovygrapes is a very good Tour operator. Thank you Groovygrapes for the overall experience, definitely can recommend it for everyone!!

Initially, I was apprehensive about this trip as it challenged my riding endurance, technical skills and comfort zone. However, I knew there was the back up of a guide and the van. My goal was to keep up as best I could, take copious photos and not fall off the bike. Elder assured me that the bikes were designed for the skiddy gravel I feared and stayed with me at the rear of the pack on the more challenging parts on the big hill looking down on Lake Benmore. He was constantly cheerful and encouraging. Perhaps he is a saint in Real Life? I was advised not to try the 20km part of Rotten Tommy but still enjoyed an amazing helicopter ride. I met up with the group at lunchtime on Braemar Road (after a van ride with Ken, to pick up the salmon for our dinner feast) and completed the rest of the ride successfully. As a group we had a great deal of fun, stayed in comfortable atmospheric accommodation...my favourites were Braemar Lodge and The Brydone, Oamaru. We ate fabulous food. Our guides Elder and Ken are chefs supreme. Gourmet picnics appeared like magic, as we lounged on deck chairs. Cafes and coffee were abundantly provided for. Nothing was too much trouble for our guides. I am now motivated to try more challenging biking trips after this experience.
