The trip manager was so funny and helpful himself made the trip all that more enjoyable. Despite being a short trip it didn’t feel rushed in anyway and I loved the extras especially the real country as it’s something I would t of known or done if I had travelled without contiki
Marshall H | Traveled in January
A fantastic trip to a beautiful country. Particularly enjoyed the active components (hiking, biking, kayaking) with an up close view of the flora and landscapes. The CEO was knowledgeable, resourceful, and very pleasant. Despite the long bus rides, seeing so much of the country was an advantage. The population was friendly, gracious and adventuresome. Overall expectations were exceeded.

The trip was an amazing amount of adventure, adrenaline, learning about culture and fun activities and delicious food and drinks. I had the most amazing time and would do it all again!
Heather M. | Traveled in January
The best thing about this trip was all the scenery and nature and how we were told about the Māori myths and legend behind different places. We also had such a great group and everyone got along! The optional activities were also awesome and pretty much everything was prepared for us so we didn’t need to bring anything (eg wetsuits, sprayjackets etc)
Rachel G | Traveled in January
