Go To Splendour In The Grass With Contiki

Splendour In The Grass returns to North Byron Parklands on 24th – 26th July, and while individual tickets have sold out, you can still go with Contiki’s Splendour In The Grass five-day packages.
Offering trips from Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sydney, Contiki will pick you up with a bunch of other festivalgoers, and take you to the East Coast hippy paradise of Byron Bay. If travelling from Sydney, you’ll be treated to a spectacular drive up the East Coast with views of the ocean. Upon your arrival, you’ll get to enjoy an evening’s entertainment on Thursday 23rd before the festival kicks off.

Wake up Friday 24th and truly start your festival experience. Spend three days enjoying the sounds of Florence & The Machine, Blur, Mark Ronson, Tame Impala, Azealia Banks, Years & Years and so many more, live and loud at Splendour In The Grass. You can take a break from the music with the Splendour Arts Program, Tipi Forest, and Global Village – or just browse the 50 food stalls to fill your belly! When the three-day festival is over, it’s time to pack up, jump back in the bus and head back to where you began on Monday 27th.
Contiki being Contiki, they don’t leave it at that. Oh no, on this trip you get a dedicated Contiki crew who will make sure you’re having the best time ever. You’ll also be able to transfer to and from your accommodation and the festival grounds, and take advantage of the shuttle service between the festival and Byron Bay. With a hot breakfast each morning to set you up for the day, you’ll be going from morning ‘til night no problem.
There are two Contiki packages to choose from for Splendour In The Grass. Splendour In The Grass (Camping) includes four nights camping at Contiki’s exclusive allotment in twin share tents, as well as entry into the Contiki Chill Out area, from $1,090pp. Splendour In The Grass (Hostel) includes four nights in a multi-share dorm at Nomads Hostel Byron Bay, from $1,390pp. With your accommodation, transport and beloved festival ticket taken care of, you can focus on getting to know your festival buddies and having an awesome time!

Splendour In The Grass is one of Contiki’s Festivals and Short Stay Trips of Australia. Also available is a three-day package for Falls Festival, and four days in Sydney for the New Year celebrations. An iconic city and one of the first to ring in the New Year, you get to spend some time in Sydney browsing the shops and exploring the beaches before getting to know your Contiki group over a welcome dinner. During the day on New Year’s Eve, you’re taken to some of the best areas of Sydney including Bondi Beach and the Rocks, and when evening draws in, you’re treated to a six-hour boat cruise on the harbour to await the countdown. A super special evening feeling like a VIP, you’ll enjoy canapés, drinks, dinner, dessert and even a DJ, before the Sydney Harbour and night sky light up before you with a fireworks display. After departing the boat, explore Sydney at night – the city will still be pumping with revellers and partygoers. Spending New Year in Sydney with Contiki costs from $1,245pp and while it may be another five months away, we suggest you book sharpish because this will sell out fast.
From festivals to New Year, see how you should be spending your long weekends with Contiki. Festivals and Short Stay Trips are just a few of many Contiki Holidays Australian trips from 3-25 days. If you’ve only got a few weeks to travel or if you’re looking to experience Australia and make new friends along the way, definitely consider organised group travel as an option. It’s great to share your experiences with like-minded people, and even better if they’re with you for the ride.
