Absolutely amazing guides.
Lots of options for free time including free activities in the area.
I loved the group chat and photo circle. Having a daily text to tell you times and plan for the next day worked really well. Would highly recommend but budget for the optional activities because they were amazing

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!
