Discover New Zealand On The Big Tiki

You can see just what makes New Zealand the travel destination it is on board The Big Tiki, from Auckland on the North Island to Christchurch on the South Island. A mammoth of a trip, you’ll spend 19 days coaching from the north to the south, embracing the Kiwi culture, jaw-dropping landscape and adrenaline highs that make it so special.

Each destination is blessed with landmarks, sights, activities and events unique to New Zealand. Say Kia Ora to the paradise of Paihia, the seal colony of Kaikoura and the action-packed activities of Queenstown. Take a cruise on Lake Taupo, view the volcanic backdrop of Tongariro National Park that was used in The Lord Of The Rings, and hike the glaciers of Franz Josef with crampons and an ice-pick.

For a culture shock, enjoy an evening with a Maori Hangi dinner and dance performance, take a guided tour of Ohinemutu Village and visit the Church of the Good Shepherd. If you really want to head home with no regrets, you can even double dare yourself to take on the formidable canyon swing, bunjy jumpy or skydive, for which New Zealand has become famous the world over. All of these activities, whether included or optional extras, are available to you on The Big Tiki.

The great thing about The Big Tiki, and Contiki as a tour company, is that it’s not just about where you, it’s who you’re with. You’ll be spending 19 days with a bunch of people you’ve never met, but who will probably become lifelong friends you can share awesome memories with. You’ll also get the help of Contiki’s famous drivers, managers and guides, who will be just as excited as you (if not more!). You’ll also feel fully recuperated each morning after a night in comfortable and hospitable accommodation, from hotels to lodges with bars, games, unbeatable views and even spa rooms to help you unwind.

The Big Tiki – which some may say is the trip of a lifetime – costs from $3596pp, as little as $187
per day.
