Leading youth travel company, Contiki (www.contiki.com.au), is giving 18-35 year olds a Backstage Pass to Australia and New Zealand with the launch of its 2013/14 Australia and New Zealand program, packed with adventures and iconic and hidden sights.
The latest program includes seven thrill-seeking tours in New Zealand and 11 tours down under, visiting destinations such as Queenstown, Wellington, Auckland and Rotorua in New Zealand and Sydney, Cairns, the Whitsundays and Alice Springs in Australia.
Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki Holidays said, “We’ve been operating tours in New Zealand since 1981 and Australia since 1984 so we’ve kept in touch with what our passengers want and include more of the must-do’s that travellers won’t want to miss.
We also know how important it is to share those experiences with friends and family so our coaches have onboard WiFi and power points to charge iPods and iPhones.
“New Zealand is a great option for those beginner travellers wishing to kick-start their overseas travel bug, as it’s jam-packed with unique experiences and activities including adventure, food, music, culture and fashion. Our New Zealand accommodation truly differentiates our product. We stay in beachside resorts through to eco-lodges; many with unbeatable views of mountain ranges and lakes or central city locations”.
Contiki has continued the Backstage Pass concept that was introduced in the 2013 Europe and Asia programs. This means passengers will be treated to exclusive access to attractions, accommodation and dining options, those little extras that turn a regular trip into a trip of a lifetime.
Both the Australian and New Zealand itineraries include plenty of ME Time – free time so travellers will have time to see and explore the things that are special to them or just relax and take in the scenery.
In addition with the Backstage Pass and ME Time, travellers enjoy more inclusions and must-do attractions such as conquering Sky Tower, the tallest building in Auckland, taking a dip at the famous hot pools of Hanmer and a thrilling Shotover Jet ride in New Zealand to 4WDriving around Fraser Island, tasting deliciously cooked kangaroo meat in Cairns, and sipping champagne and watching the sunset at Uluru.
Unique tours in the 2013/14 program include the Ultimate NZ Ski trip – snowboarders and skiers can hit the slopes around Queenstown as well as other adrenalin raising activities in the adventure capital of NZ on this 7-day tour.
All of Contiki’s itineraries include accommodation, transport, many meals, the services of the experienced Contiki crew, sightseeing or orientation tours in each destination and a number of exclusive experiences all packaged into one great price.
