It was a really fun group, Benji is an awesome guide and the accommodations were overall comfortable and well-suited to this type of tour. I have already recommended to friends and family, and looking forward to the next one!
I loved it! The tour was everything that I wished and hoped for, and more. Our tour guide was very informative, enthusiastic and kind. Seeing NZ through her eyes lit everything up!

Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!
