The trip was amazing, and I'm so glad I went - I would recommend it to anyone! You do have to be prepared for a big budget for free-time add-ons beyond what is included in the trip but it makes sense - not everyone is going to want to bungee/canyon swing/kayak etc. One thing - the nature of a modular trip does make it tricky to vibe with everyone socially (we were joining people who had been traveling together for 2 weeks already on NZ Ultimate/Panorama), but our Trip Manager was a gem about doing his best to integrate us in seamlessly. Just something to be aware of! Also bear in mind the trip was 95% Aussies aged 22 and under - not everyone's vibe, but also a very fun time :) Will definitely be doing another Contiki in my future!

Brilliant trip! Dawn, our driver and guide was super. She made the trip a really positive, fun and uplifting experience. The itinerary was full on. We saw loads of the popular tourist sites in New Zealand but we also had the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the country with the daily walks many of which were in less accessible and off beat parts of the country.

5.0 - Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful holiday in the truly beautiful country of New Zealand. The itinerary was very well designed to take us to most of the country's highlights, and although it was fast paced to include as much as possible it was all definitely worth it. We were lucky with the weather, the accommodation and organisation were excellent throughout All enhanced by having a marvellous group of travelling companions, and a leader who put in a phenomenal performance, always going above and beyond. New Zealand is, of course a very long way, but it is such a fantastic country that I can't recommend it highly enough. You're sure to love it!!
