Contiki’s new Aussie trips

CONTIKI has released details of 14 new Aussie adventures under an expansion of domestic product announced in May (TD 11 May).

Ranging from four to 11 days in length, the trips explore destinations such as North Queensland, Kakadu and Uluru’s Field of Lights; plus new destinations including WA’s Rottnest Island and Margaret River and a road trip via the Great Ocean Road through SA.

Contiki said the itineraries are “for locals, by locals” and can be locked in for a $99 deposit, if they are booked by 01 Sep.

Contiki MD Belinda Ward said the new additions allowed travellers to “pack your bags and just show up.

“There’s nothing more empowering than getting outside of your ‘bubble’, meeting new people and making new friends,” Ward said.

“We know most millennials and Gen Z want the opportunity to travel together again with the freedom and flexibility to be social whether travelling solo, with friends or a partner – and leave with memories that will stay with them forever.”

The new trips include the nineday North Queensland Adventure (with sailing), that takes travellers island-hopping from Airlie Beach, through the Whitsundays and to Magnetic Island, priced from $1,925 per person.

Another is the 11-day Sunshine, Beaches & Breweries, which ventures between Brisbane, Noosa, Noosa Everglades, Fraser Island, Byron Bay, Gold Coast and Lamington National Park, priced from $2,201 per person.

Contiki said the trips are a way for travellers to support local businesses and communities which were deeply affected by the Australian bushfires and COVID-19.
