Unforgettable experiences, lifelong memories

Small group adventures for 18-35s

It's our closest neighbour, but have you made the leap to New Zealand yet? Too often we look to travel longer distances, and forget about epic adventures just across the Tasman. It's time to escape the comfort zone. Head to the land they call Godzone, and experience the BUZZ that's got everyone talking. And always with people your age - 18-35s, no younger, no older.

Always thought about skydiving, seeing snow-capped mountains and visiting the birthplace of bungy, or an epic ski or board escape? It's all just a short plane ride away! Get ready for a Maori cultural experience, the famous Milford Sound and endless epic landscapes - always with an expert local at the ready, for that insider angle WITHOUT the hassle.

Head out on an adventure with a bunch of people your age, and in your mind-set. Discover the sights of New Zealand you’ve just got to see. And why not? Just pack your bags & let Contiki sort out the rest. Contiki has you covered.
