DOWN UNDER’ WITH CONTIKI

Contiki Holidays has unveiled its 2013-2014 South Pacific brochure highlighted by 22 trips to Australia and New Zealand and featuring more Backstage Pass inclusions than ever before, like a 4WD adventure across Fraser Island and a barbecue dinner in the heart of Darling Harbour. There’s also plenty of time for clients to explore the destination on their own, which is why Contiki offers a variety of ME Time optionals, like the Sydney Opera House Tour (new for 2013-14) and a catamaran daytrip in the Bay of Islands. “Contiki is the original adventure travel brand for 18-35’s and we thrive on providing unforgettable experiences for young travellers, whether it’s the memory of sharing champagne with new friends at Uluru at sunset or the thrilling feeling of swinging 400m over Shotover River,”says Brad Ford, president of Contiki Canada. “Our South Pacific trips have always been really popular with young travellers because of all the activities featured – this brochure is absolutely packed to the brim with Backstage Pass inclusions, ranging from surf lessons to a Shotover Jetboat ride to a wildlife cruise in the outback.”To kick off the launch of the new brochure, Contiki is offering an Early Payment Discount of 7.5% off for clients who book and pay for their 2013-14 Australia or New Zealand trips by May 30 – a savings of up to $360 p.p.
