AN

LIFE

YOU ONLY GET TO LIVE IT ONCE

BUT IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, ONCE

IS ENOUGH #NOREGRETS

Way back in ‘62 one guy had a

dream: to show young travellers the world

and change their lives in doing so. 55 years later and

we’ve perfected the secret formula. One of the most

important things we’ve learnt along the way is to do things

with passion or not at all.

Most companies provide good service. But at Contiki, we go

further than that, making sure that every second is one to

remember, every trip is one that will change your life and

alter your perception of the world. That’s what we

live for and what keeps us up at night. Are you

ready to become part of the story?

CONTIKI KNOW-HOW?

WHAT IS

There’s something you can’t deny

about 55 years of taking people on

life-changing travels.

You can’t compete with that sort of

experience, that type of skill set, that passion

Contiki has something special – but it’s

not just magic or fairy dust.

not superficial, it’s the substance behind

travelling with No Regrets.

And it’s something that once you’ve travelled

with us, you’ll just get. Those who have, call it

Contiki Know-How.

Mark from Sydney, has been a Trip Manager with Contiki since 2006

“I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and being able to share local authentic experiences with them. It’s a great feeling when our travellers tell you that you enhanced their trip by offering some insider knowledge or perhaps you assisted them with something. Travel makes you grow and opens your eyes to the world in multiple ways.”

Adam from Rockhampton, has been a Trip Manager with Contiki for two years

“Working for Contiki gives me the opportunity to share the Aussie way of life with travellers from all over the globe. I enjoy encouraging people to step outside their comfort zone as this offers the opportunity to do something they never thought they would do.”

Munch wraps up everything we do with food in Australia

and New Zealand. To us, your experience with food is as

integral as the destination itself. In just one bite you can

get a glimpse of a country’s culture, history, passion and

flavour, and for us, food is always the resounding memory

from our travels. So, alongside breakfast included every

day, we’re dedicated to delivering Munch-worthy included

meals; think cook your own steak in Sydney, fresh seafood

in Noosa and a traditional Hāngi dinner and Maori show

in Rotorua. But not only that, we also offer up mouth-

watering ME Time Optional experiences that really get

you tasting and learning about the country you’re in. Like

what? Well, how about an Ohana winery experience in

Childers, a delicious local meal in the heart of Wellington

with local craft beers included and a gourmet buffet

dinner at the Stratosphere Restaurant in Queenstown,

that can only be accessed by gondola.

And when it comes to filling your free time with foodie

wanderings, our Trip Managers’ little black book of foodie

haunts never lets us (or you) down. These guys know their

stuff, because after all, they’re showing you around their

back yards, so will only ever recommend places they can

personally vouch for. So what do you say? Let the food

safari commence.

Contiki Cares is our mission to protect and preserve the places we go to and the people we meet, so that the generations who follow us can see the world with the same wide-eyed wonder as we do. It’s our dedication to treading lightly, acting with respect and recognising when to speak for the planet when it can’t speak for itself.

Advising us on our journey is the TreadRight Foundation, our older, wiser sister on all things sustainable and our guiding force in seeking to make the world a better, more interconnected place. Together with TreadRight, we’re on a journey – to seek out the causes that need support and the traditions and communities that need protection in our ever changing world.

Use FlexDeposit with a sister company, or gift your trip to someone else.

PERKSIf you’ve travelled with us before, you’re eligible for 5% off

your next trip. If you decide a second Contiki isn’t for you &

you’d prefer a luxury cruise down the River Seine on one of our

Uniworld boats, or to stay in one of our 5-star Red Carnation

Hotels, we won’t be offended (well maybe just a little). You can

simply transfer your 5% discount to any of our other 30 travel

brands. Same can be said for your deposit. Feel free to put your

trip deposit towards a trip with one of our sister brands if your

plans change or you blow the candles out on your 36th birthday

PART 1CHANGE YOUR TRIP

FOR FREEIf you want to change your chosen trip or

departure just drop us a line, let us know which

trip or departure you’d like and if there’s space,

we’ll do the rest for zero cost.

PART 2 FLEXDEPOSIT

FlexDeposit is designed to make it easier to travel at a time that

works for you. The FlexDeposit guarantee is given for free once

you have paid your deposit and works as credit towards your next

adventure*; so if your plans change, your deposit isn’t lost – it’s

simply transferred instead. FlexDeposit is available until you turn

36 (the maximum age you can travel on a Contiki). After that, it

can be used with one of our sister Travel Corporation brands or,

if you can’t travel yourself, it can also be gifted to someone else

within five years of the original booking date.

It’s a big title but damn right we’re claiming it, and

for good reason. When booking with us we’re all

about the no-strings-attached approach.

Plans can change, as can minds, so we

created Freedom Guarantee to give you

ultimate flexibility. It’s made up of two

parts: you can change your trip for free, or use

FlexDeposit to save your paid deposit for when

you’re ready to use it.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST CHANGE POLICY

A U S T R


Have you secretly (or maybe not so secretly) been harbouring dreams of living the

beach bum lifestyle on the East Coast or exploring the magnifi cent Red Centre?

R A L I AWho says those dreams can’t become reality? Boasting cities that fuse the cool with

the chic, beaches that stretch for mile upon mile, rainforests, waterfalls, deserts,

outback, forests (this country basically has every type of terrain going), and of course

locals who put you at ease with just one lazy smile, there really is no place in the world

quite like Australia. So go on, believe the hype, because this country is totally worth it.


WAYS TO TRAVEL

We all love our friends, but sometimes how you want to

BreakfastIf there’s one thing Aussies know how to do, it’s breakfast. These guys are the original champions of the avocado, and boy do they know how to use it. Start your day with breakfast at Bills in trendy Surry Hills, where fresh juices and good coffee are the aim of the game. Order the full or fresh Aussie (depending on your love of avocado) and fuel up for the day ahead.

Coastal ExploringFull from breakfast, what better way to work it off than with a leisurely 6km hike, starting at Bondi and ending at Bronte beach. This is without doubt the city’s best trodden path, so prepare to share your walk with plenty a lycra-clad Sydneysider. Incredible views, plenty of swim stops and a cold press juice from Cali Press in Bronte make it all worthwhile.

Ice Cream HeavenOne place you can’t leave Sydney without visiting is Messina. Voted the best gelato in Australia by the Good Food Guide, it’s hard to put into words just how utterly incredible this ice cream really is. Its popularity means there are a whole bunch of branches all across Sydney, but the Darlinghurst branch is my personal fav (plus it’s the original one).

really make Australia extra special.

WHO TRAVELS IN-DEPTH EXPLORER?

particular region in detail

• Those who are all about food, history,

local experiences and culture, and

getting just a little bit lost

• Those who want to spend less time

travelling and more time exploring.

IF YOU’RE THE ADVENTUROUS TYPE THEN THIS SAILING OPTION IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO SPENDING 2 NIGHTS AT A HOTEL, WITH THE CHANCE TO SPEND 2 DAYS & NIGHTS OUT ON THE WATER. The Whitsundays is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, with over 90 mostly uninhabited National Park islands, heavenly white beaches

& crystal clear waters. And sailing on converted racing sailing boats is a great way to see it all. If you want to learn about sailing, the crew will teach you

how to hoist the sails & grind the winches, but if you’d prefer to relax, sunbake & soak up the atmosphere – you can leave the hard work to them. Swim,

snorkel, or laze your way around this tropical paradise. While these are not luxury yachts, sleeping in an open cabin like real sailors do is all part of the

adventure. The highlight will definitely be a visit to Whitehaven Beach (weather dependent). The trip returns to Airlie Beach on the final morning.

Nobody can do NZ like you, not even us. That’s why every single one of our trips has built-in ME Time, to allow you to explore the Land of the Long White

Cloud the way only you can. ME Time is made up of two parts; free time and our delectable suite of ME Time Optionals. So how do you spend your free time? Well that’s entirely up to you. Maybe you’ll spend an afternoon snoozing by a gorgeous glacier fed lake, or perhaps you’d prefer to hit the streets of Auckland in search of the ultimate coffee.

And for those times when you want to ramp up the adventure/food/cultural dial, we’ve got our ME Time Optionals, which get just a little bit more special in NZ. How? Well you know that comfort zone you’ve been living in? Prepare to see it offi cially stretched beyond belief with our choice of skydiving, canyon swinging, horse riding or 4WDing. Want things a little more sedate? How does dolphin spotting, fi shing on Lake Taupo or cruising on the blissful Milford Sound take your fancy? Offered at the best prices with transport to get you there and back, our Optionals just add that extra bit of sparkle to your trip.

Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators and on occasions, for some of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate. Before you leave, it’s important that you check your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities and be aware that some of our optionals can be physically demanding and may involve some risk.

Dolphin SpottingOffered as a ME Time Optional activity, this is an absolute must-do if you love nature, animals, hanging out on boats, or basically just want one beautiful day to remember. What do you get? Well, in a nutshell, a catamaran, stopovers on gorgeous untouched beaches where you can wander to your hearts content, lots of snorkelling ops and, oh yeah, the chance to spot wild dolphins doing their thing.

Sunset PerfectionPaihia is one of my favourite places on the North Island. Brimming with ancient stories and fascinating Maori culture (this is, after all, where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed), the picturesque beauty of this place goes into overdrive come sunset, when the setting sun dances off the lighthouse and illuminates the surrounding water. Sitting on the beach eating fi sh ‘n’ chips, it’s a real pinch yourself moment.

Visits to “Romantic Russell”Romantic by name, romantic by nature, Russell is a ferry ride from Paihia and is a hustling little town full of cute cafés, restaurants and art galleries. Take a perch on the waterfront at the Duke of Marlborough Hotel, order a glass of sauvignon blanc and the grilled New Zealand calamari and just watch the world go by.

Answers to frequently asked questions & things you need to know:

GOT A QUESTION?• Once you’re a past passenger, you’re eligible for

a 5% discount every 6 months so you can keep going with Contiki

• The discount applies to brochured prices only & cannot be combined with any non-brochured special market promotions

Sound good to you crazy Contiki lovers?

BROCHURE AUTHENTICITYWe have put a great deal of effort into producing this brochure. The information given & literature produced by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published in good faith. Sometimes, because of circumstances outside our control, we have to alter some activities due to seasonal closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives will be arranged where possible.

DO I NEED VACCINATIONS?At the time this brochure went to press (March, 2017), no vaccinations were necessary. However, it is wise to check up-to-date information with your travel agent or Contiki prior to departure. Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines or antibiotics.

SEASONALITY & CLIMATE Being such a large land mass, Australia is prone to seasonal climate changes. This will mean that at certain times of the year some of our brochured itineraries may need to be slightly changed. For example: northern Australia itineraries during the wet season (December to April). Inland alpine areas of the South Island in New Zealand can be as cold as -10oC between May & October.

DO I NEED VISAS?Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require a visa to enter Australia & New Zealand. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Consult your travel agent or local embassy to determine any visas you require & how to obtain them.

NO COMPULSORY TIPPING - REWARD ONLY EXCELLENCE!Every country in the world has different tipping customs & in Australia & New Zealand, within service industries, tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations. If you think your Contiki Team have done an exceptional job then you may wish to tip them.This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely up to you. No compulsory tipping – reward only excellence!

BOOKING SECURITY Contiki has been running trips for young people since 1962 & is a member of the Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA). The members include all the major tour operators who are financially bonded for your security & who maintain the highest standards. With the guarantees of these organisations, you know your holiday & money are secure with Contiki.

TRIP REGISTRATIONReady, set, go! You’re booked & it’s nearly go time, however just like when you’re taking a flight, it’s important you provide us with all your details before you can travel. Check out www.contiki.com/tripregistration to log into your booking.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the ‘Travel Advisories’ put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation.
