Honest insights from past guests on our Chill out New Zealand tours
Karen C. | Traveled in May
Spectacular!!! Seasoned traveler here and our group expects top grade hotels, good food and an itinerary that showcases the best the country has to offer. This itinerary exceeded our expectations. The scenery, the history and the cultural experiences were so wonderful. Having a passionate attentive tour guide is a plus. This tour checks all the boxes. Highly recommended💕
Lauren N. | Traveled in March
Sailing with everybody to start the trip is such an unbelievable experience. Such a well planned trip with an awesome guide! If you don’t book the full trip, you are going to wish you did.
Anonymous | Traveled in February
I had an incredible time in my trip, everybody was so nice. The activities etc. were all scheduled for us, which gave us a lot of time to just hang out together. I wasn’t stressed about anything because I knew it was all taken care of.
Anonymous | Traveled in February
I had the most amazing trip and met so many people, while getting to explore some unbelievable locations - including the Bay of Islands during this short trip. I only regret not booking a longer trip. Contiki made it so easy - all I had to do was show up! The trip manager and bus driver were both really helpful and made the trip worthwhile.
Elena | Traveled in January
Exceeded expectations! The BEST trip manager and bus driver duo. Short bus drives, great accommodation. So many amazing activities to choose from. Everything planned for you, you can just switch off and enjoy!
Anonymous | Traveled in January
This trip was amazing - the only thing I would change is doing a longer trip like the Northern Choice. The group becomes so close so fast that it’s hard to leave after 5 days when everyone else is there for another week or two (massive FOMO). The activities were so worth the add on and everything was so organised. Our trip manager was super nice and set good vibes. We were out each night but definitely no pressure for those who wanted an easy night. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!
