Oceania Tours in August 2026

CharlieTheTraveler’s tour to New Zealand was remarkable! It was evident the company did everything they could to keep their price low for me without compromising on any of the experience. There was so many activities to go on but there was never a rushed or stressful moment. The tour guides provided were professional and respectful of our time. Almost every activity we went on was my favorite! It is so hard to choose just one. However, one aspect of the trip that stood out to me as it was unique was the jet boat. The water was so pretty and it was such a fun water activity, unlike anything I’d been on before!

The tour was an incredible adventure which explored the many varied landscapes of Australia. A once in a lifetime experience which I am endeavouring to repeat as I look up tours to other parts of Australia and New Zealand.

The trip to New Zealand organized by CharlieTheTraveler was packed with active and fun activities! I had a blast on every tour we took, especially the flight tours. I am so happy I went on this trip and cannot wait to book my next through this company! As I said before, the flight tours were my favorite part of the trip. It was such a unique way to explore the beautiful landscape of the country. I also appreciated that although our experience and entertainment were prioritized, I still felt safe while doing every adventure.

Your tour guide Liz was very knowledgeable,informative and helpful in all aspects of our journey.Driver Lance gave us an exceptionally smooth and safe journey. My only suggestion to improve the experience would be that name tags be supplied, tour guide Liz was able to remember all our names we had trouble among each other. I would have no hesitation recommending that tour to others.

Going on this Contiki trip was a truly amazing experience, I have met so many amazing people and been to so many amazing places, I cant wait to go on my next Contiki.

It was not a luxury trip but by no means were we roughing it. The price initially looked a bit expensive but everything was comfortable, the tour manager really was there every minute of the day to ensure things went as planned, even personal situations such as lost luggage benefitted from his attention, even when just helping people call the right numbers and plan accordingly. It really was a good value and much easier than trying to figure it all out, on our own. Favorite Memorable Experience: When we went on the boat out to the fjord, it was an unusually sunny, clear and not-so-cold Winter day (it was impressed upon us how rare this really is). At one point, the boat will get so close to a waterfall that anyone on the bow would get soaked (it's slow to happen - there is plenty of time to dodge it). We were so giddy with the nice weather, the sunshine on our faces, quite a few of us were dodging in-and-out of the water, laughing like kids running through the "sprinkler" still encased in our Winter duds, pure joy on our faces. To top it off, we suddenly saw a full rainbow in that mist, larger and closer than any of us had ever seen. It's moments like that that can't be planned but wouldn't have taken place without the plans before it.
