WHO WE ARE
HOW WE TRAVELNo two travellers are the same and
we know that, which is why we offer
eight unique ways to explore the
world, from high energy trips to sailing
adventures. These are your trips, your
way, and we have plenty of choices
to create a journey that’s perfect
for you, from your budget to your
accommodation style.
WHO YOU’LLTRAVEL WITH We’re all about exploring the world
with like-minded people –18-35 year
olds who are keen to celebrate being
young, spirited and curious. Don’t
worry if you’re not travelling as a
couple or with a friend from home
– 50% of Contiki’s travellers set off
solo, meaning you’ll have a ton of
opportunities to make new mates.
OUR TRIPSWith over 200 different trips around
the world, over 55 countries, and
plenty of departure dates, you’ll
never be short of options on where
to go for your next great adventure
or gap year. Flip to pages 6-7 for a
map of where Contiki travels – we’re
taking over the world one exciting
destination at a time.
WHAT WE INCLUDEThe best damn trips on the planet,
that’s what! But seriously, our trips
include everything you need to have
the best travel experience of your life.
We take care of all the boring logistics
like booking hotels, finding the best
spots for dinner in small towns and
getting you from place to place.
You can toss out that map and guide
book too, because our awesome team
of young Trip Managers, Drivers and
Local Guides know as much about
the destinations you visit as the locals
themselves. And the sights? You’ll
get VIP access to the world’s icons, so
try not to look too smug as you skip
to the front of the mile-long line at
the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum. One
thing’s for sure – it’s amazing value
you won’t find anywhere else – see
pages 8-9 for more details on what’s
included in your trip price and visit
contiki.com/compare for even more
reasons on why Contiki is the only
way to go.
CONTIKI IS LEGENDARY FOR A REASON.WE’VE BEEN TAKING YOUNG PEOPLE ONINCREDIBLE TRIPS AROUND THE WORLD FOR 53 YEARS, OPENING THEIR EYES TO NEW CULTURES AND SHOWING THEM HOW TO CELEBRATE BEING YOUNG, WILD AND FREE. AND EVEN THOUGH WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON BEING THE CLASSIC, WE’RE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING TO GIVE YOUNG TRAVELLERS THE NEWEST AND BEST OF EACH DESTINATION, WITH EXCLUSIVE ACCOMMODATION, FOOD AND EXPERIENCES THAT NO OTHER BRAND OFFERS.

WHY CHOOSE Contiki is all about the best sights, more inclusions, culture, epic memories & no hassle. To keep things easy, we’ve
compared 2 days travelling in Sydney on a hotel trip going it alone, vs 2 days with Contiki. It’s pretty simple – you can’t
do what we do, for less, with less hassle. And we’ve got you covered for all regions we visit.
Head to contiki.com/compare to see how Contiki measures up...
THE IMPORTANT STUFF ON YOUR OWN ...OR YOU COULD DO THIS...
ACCOMODATION Ouch, Sydney is expensive! But Trip Advisor said the
hotel was good, so got to roll with the punches I guess.
(A$140 per night)
Loving the hotel, so super central in King’s Cross.
Totally right where I need to be. Comfy bed, check!
Fluffy towels, check! Ultra lush! (Included)
BREAKFAST Now…where do I go for breakfast…This food
looks unreal! Pricey, but got to fuel up for the day of
exploring. (A$17)
Waking up to breakfast just downstairs is so easy.
(Included) Good continental mix, delicious.
TRANSPORT Now where did the concierge say the train station
was again? Urgh I’m lost. And where do I get tickets?
(A$23 per day). So much to do, I hope I have enough
time to see it all…damn. Wow – this city is incredible!
Coach right outside – yes please. No hassle for this
traveller! Loving being shown around the city with our
Trip Manager leading the charge. No fussing around
with maps or GPS– too easy. (Included)
MEALEXPERIENCES
The food here is amazing – got to get amongst it.
Expensive, but I’m hungry & this restaurant looks good.
I guess I’ve just got to suck it up & get into it. (A$50)
Aussie cook your own BBQ – got to love it & this steak is
de-lish. (Included) Looking forward to trying a heap of
other yummy Aussie eats too!
YOUR TEAM Concierge didn’t really get what I was asking, but they
told me where the bus & train stations were, so I guess
that’s a start. Now where did I see that ATM?
Loving my Trip Manager (Included) it makes things
so easy. No hassle at all & having someone to ask
questions to, point out where the bathrooms & the
ATM’s are is totally priceless.
ME TIME Been saving up to do the Harbour Bridge
Climb – woo hoo the view up here is amazing!
Definitely a moment I’ll never forget. Thank you
Sydney! (A$248)
I’ve been researching the BridgeClimb – it’s a MUST!
And having it all pre-booked for a great price was key –
no waiting around on Contiki. (A$198)
SIGHTSEEING Manly is THE place to people watch, but how do I get
there? Boat ride sounds good too. (A$14.80 return
ferry ticket) What else… Blue Mountains! I hope I’m
not going to need to hire a car… Took up most of
my day, but these mountains are definitely worth it.
(A$140)
Never thought I could see this much…and my
Trip Manager gives us all the inside info & history.
Opera House, Darling Harbour, Chinatown & the
Blue Mountains – including a hike at Wentworth
Falls…incredible. Took a ferry to Manly, had a swim
& checked out the surfers. (All included)
THE TOTAL Sydney, you are amazing. But you cost me A$237 per
day (average cost per day for 2 days), plus A$248 for
BridgeClimb.
TICK! Did Sydney like a pro & loved it.
Trips from A$195* per day plus (A$198) for
BridgeClimb. And the 24/7 knowledge of my own
Trip Manager, totally priceless!

MEETING DIFFERENT CULTURES MORE CHOICE
UNBEATABLE VALUE TRYING NEW FOODS
The most exciting thing about your trip is the places you’re going to see & the people you will meet. But we know
there’s also a bunch of practical stuff that’s equally important & the reason why your trip with Contiki will be one
with #NOREGRETS. Visit contiki.com for more.
IT’S NOT HARD TOSEE WHY A TRIP WITH CONTIKI WILL BE ONEWITH #NOREGRETS...CONTIKI?

AWESOME ACCOMMODATIONA bad night’s sleep makes for a grumpy
traveller. At Contiki, we’re loud & proud
about our awesome accommodation &
it’s not hard to see why. In the big cities
it’s all about being central, like our hotel
in Bangkok that’s one street away from
bustling Khao San Road. In Peru, you’ll
doze off to the sleeping sounds of the
Amazon in our exclusive jungle lodge.
And France? Nowhere compares to
Contiki’s 16th Century French Château.
So just sleep easy and stay connected
with WiFi at most stops and we’ll take
care of the rest. Find out more
at contiki.com/accommodation
THE BEST INCLUSIONSWe’ve scouted the best parts of each
destination & included them in the cost of
your trip so there’s no way you’ll miss out on
the iconic gotta-see’s or local secrets. We take
care of entry too, so you can head straight to
the front of the line at Angkor Wat & secure
a premium spot for sunrise. And we give back
in the places we visit, giving our travellers the
chance to support great causes in the places
you’ll come to love. Look out for the • on the
itinerary pages for some of what’s included,
and for even more visit contiki.com
CONTIKI.COM10
AN EPIC TEAMOur crew of dedicated Contiki Trip Managers,
Drivers & On-site Team are young, fun &
passionate about travel – just like you.
They often know more about the places you’ll
visit than the locals themselves, because a lot
of the time they are the locals. So you can stop
Googling ‘best bars in Sydney’ or ‘shopping
streets in LA’ to get advice from a boring old
journalist – we’ve got this. Find out more at
contiki.com/team
BETTER WAYS TO TRAVELGetting from A to B in a foreign country can be
a bit of a headache, let’s be honest. Language
barriers, missed trains & 17 hours on public
buses can turn an exciting adventure into an
exhausting one. We get you from place to
place the quickest way possible, whether it’s
by our modern, air-conditioned coaches with
WiFi, planes, train or waterway, giving you
more time to explore a new city and less time
fumbling with a map.
11WORLDWIDE 2015/16
ME TIMEIt’s the freedom & flexibility to explore your
way, and we have a range of amazing ME Time
optional extras for you to choose from if you
want. Look out for the M symbol on the trip
itineraries for a taste of what’s available & find
out more at contiki.com/metime
Important: ME Time optional activities are not included in the price of
your trip. They are run by 3rd party operators & on occasions, for some
of the activities, travellers may be required to sign a waiver to participate.
Before you leave, it’s important that you check your insurance includes your
participation in adventure activities & be aware that some of our optionals
can be physically demanding & may involve some risk.
Whatever type of traveller
you are, read on to discover
our travel experiences &
check the travel intro
sections for details on what’s
included with each way to
travel. Look out for the trip
hashtag on each page &
search for it with #contiki to
check out how our travellers
see the world.
DISCOVERY PLUSSee it all, do it all
Whether you have a few weeks to do it
or a whole month, you’ll never regret
packing your bags & discovering
another part of the world. Our Discovery
Plus trips give you the chance to
experience the best parts of each place
you visit, exploring all the world famous
sights you’ve only read about in books.
We’ll hook you up with central hotels &
include more so that you head home
with a fully-ticked bucket list & a
lifetime of memories.
IN-DEPTH EXPLORERLive like a local
Travel is one of life’s greatest
adventures, and the deeper you go,
the more you learn about yourself &
the world. Our In-Depth Explorer trips
encourage you to get into the heart of
the places you visit, with longer stays in
each city & more free time to lose
yourself in the cultural experiences that
make each destination unique.
TRAVELSTYLESNO TWO TRAVELLERS ARE
THE SAME & WE KNOW
THAT. THAT’S WHY WE
OFFER MORE CHOICE FOR
YOUNG EXPLORERS WITH
TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL
EXPERIENCES GUARANTEED
TO GIVE YOU THE ULTIMATE
ADVENTURE.
CONTIKI.COM12
WINTER & SKIHit the slopes
Sure it’s not all shorts & flip flops,
but travelling in the cooler months has
major advantages – fewer crowds,
shorter lines & cheaper entry fees, to
name a few. And if you’re a fan of the
slopes, we have your winter utopia right
here. Our ski & snowboard trips take you
to the epic hills of Whistler, Lake Tahoe,
Queenstown & our very own Austrian
Gasthof in Hopfgarten. So grab your
board, hit the slopes & top it all off
with a little après-ski.
FREESTYLE CAMPINGSleep under the stars
Forget everything you thought you
knew about camping, because we’ve
upped the ante big time. We have six
awesome budget-friendly trips through
Europe that let you explore the vibrant
cities by day then retreat to the
beautiful outdoors to sleep under the
stars at night. This isn’t your Dad’s
version of camping, either – our sites
have everything from pools to bars to
pizza joints, so it’s more about comfort
than roughing it.
HIGH ENERGYExplore by day, live it up by night
Culture-packed days & fun-filled nights
define what High Energy is all about.
Explore unique cities with your new best
mates then let the good times roll as day
turns into night & you find yourself at the
club of our French Château or at a beach
party in Surfers Paradise. Because life is
meant to be lived & you can sleep when
you get home. Right now you’re busy
making memories.
SAILING & CRUISESun, sea, sand & adventure!
There’s nothing like waking up to the
fresh ocean breeze of the Whitsundays
on your face or the sun rising over the
Mediterranean. Pack your swimmers &
set off on one of our epic sailing &
cruise adventures, soaking up the sun
on a traditional Turkish gulet or taking
it easy on one of our Greek yachts.
You’ll spend your days diving into
crystal clear waters & chilling with a
brew at beachside towns along the way.
So basically, in paradise.
FESTIVAL & SHORT STAYSCelebrate life’s big events
Life’s a celebration, and at Contiki, we
love a good party. Join us as we dance
to our favourite bands at Sziget music
festival in Budapest, pop bottles of
champagne on New Year’s Eve in Vegas
& kick off a beer hall sing-a-long at
Oktoberfest. You can also tack on one of
our short stays in the world’s most iconic
cities, exploring London’s trendiest
neighbourhoods & LA’s star-studded
nightlife.
EASY PACETake it slowly
Sun-worshipping on the sands of Koh
Samui, people-watching at Parisian
cafés, pigging out at the food trucks in
San Fran – some of us see holidays as a
way to totally unwind far away from
home. On our Easy Pace trips, you’ll
spend more time doing the things you
love at your own speed, whether it’s on
a beach in the Galapagos or the streets
of New York. Because sometimes slow is
the best way to go.

PACKING TIPS 101Packing is easy if you’ve got the
basics covered! Bring enough to
cover you for a few days (who
wants to be inside doing laundry
when you could be checking out
the sights?) It’s a good idea not to
forget flip-flops & comfy shoes for
when you’re out exploring too!
You’ll need all your favourite
creature comforts & bathroom
essentials, sunglasses, plus
adaptor plugs. (Note: On some
trips you’ll need a towel too.)
NEED A PASSPORTOR VISA?Getting a passport is easy, so don’t
let it stop you from getting the
journey started. Get ready for new
stamps & new adventures wherever
you want to go. Our tip: passports
can take some time to get back, so
leave a good amount of time before
taking your trip (just in case).
Depending on your nationality, you
may require visas to enter certain
countries included in your trip.
Contiki is not legally permitted to
knowingly allow anybody who does
not have a valid visa to join a trip.
Visa & other entry & exit conditions
(such as currency, arrival/departure
taxes, customs & quarantine
regulations) change regularly.
Consult Contiki or your travel agent
to determine any visas you require
& how to obtain them.
TRAVELLING SOLO?More than half of our travellers go
solo, so on our trips you’re
guaranteed to meet up with
like-minded people from all over
the world. And we make it easy to
connect with other travellers on
your trip through Contiki MeetUps
before you leave home. It’s simple
– book your trip, log on, share
travel tips, like packing advice &
count down to your adventures
with your new friends before
you’ve even packed your bags.
See contiki.com/meetups.

FROM GETTING CASH READY TOCHECKING THE WEATHER OR PACKING, HERE’S OUR GO-TO GUIDE FOR THE STUFF YOU JUST GOTTA KNOW BEFORE YOUSTART YOUR ADVENTURE.
NEW BEATSFor those who like to chill with
their headphones in, don’t forget
to top up that iPod with some new
cool sounds. Check out Contiki’s
weekly top tunes on soundcloud.
com/contiki – our resident DJ Ben
has been scouring the net for the
hottest new tracks from around
the globe, served up just for you.
Plus some of our coaches are fitted
with state of the art sound systems
for excellent beats on the go.
STYLE STALKTrue fashion hunters – do your
research on the best places for
the best buys in the places you’re
headed. Europe is renowned for
having some of the best sales on
the planet, with up to 70% off
retail not being uncommon.
Treat yourself to a bespoke suit in
Asia or discover the Australian
designers you can’t get anywhere
else when you’re Down Under!
Leave some space in your bag for
envy-worthy purchases from shoes,
bags & jeans to anything &
everything in-between.
CASH, CASH, CASHATMs are readily available
throughout Europe, Australia &
New Zealand, and the USA &
Canada and our Team know the
best places to access cash on the
go (however if you are heading off
the beaten track through Asia or
Latin America you will need a little
more cash in your pocket as ATMs
can be a little more spread out).
Take some cash & credit cards like
Visa & for converting euros to
foreign currencies, try our handy
Shout! app when you’re on the go.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST…• We’ve all got that little something
we don’t leave home without…
teddy bear, lucky undies, lucky
charm? If you think you’re going
to miss it, then bring it.
• Say bye to your pet… awwwww.
• Make a photocopy of your
passport & keep it in a separate
pack from your travel docs.
• Giving your friends FOMO
& keeping in touch is key!
Make sure you’re friends with
everyone you possibly know on
social, you’ve got your parents
email & don’t forget granny’s
address for those postcards.
Yes, snail mail really does still exist!
• With weight restrictions, you only
have 20kgs/44lbs to take on the
coach, so packing like a pro is key.

5 WAYS TO TREAD LIGHTLY WHEN TRAVELLING
1. Bring a reusable
water bottle
and reduce the
use of plastics.
2. Explore cities
by foot, bike or
public transport
on your ME Time
to reduce your
carbon footprint.
3. Switch off when
you’re not in your
hotel room to
conserve energy.
4. Buy local – you’ll
support the
communities you
visit and help reduce
shipping from other
countries.
5. Conserve water in
hotels by turning
off the taps when

is a scarce resource
in many of the
countries we visit.

ASIAA trip to Asia is an attack on the senses in the best
possible way. The taste… of the spicy street foods
of Hanoi. The sound… of the temple gongs in the
mountains of Chiang Mai. The touch… of salty ocean
water on your skin in Koh Samui. The sight… of the
sun rising over Angkor Wat. The smell… of cherry
blossoms in bloom in Osaka. This is Asia like you’ve
never experienced it before.

your life. Well, we totally agree. At Contiki, it’s a life-defining
adventure with the best experiences & the best crew. You’ll never
forget the time you spoke your first full sentence in Spanish, your

Oktoberfest. And above all, you’ll never forget the people that

DO I NEED A PASSPORT OR VISA?Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your trip. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip.

Local immigration authorities may deny entry & deport people who do not meet this requirement, even if they intend on staying only for a short period.
Important to consider:1. Visas can take up to six weeks & a fee is
normally charged.2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could
cause you to miss part of your trip & will result in you incurring considerable expense & inconvenience.
3. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred as a result of you failing to obtain all necessary visas before the departure of your trip.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK?For ideas & recommendations on what to pack for your trip visit contiki.com/travel-resources for all the info you need.
HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING?Luggage is restricted to one bag with a maximum size of 29” x 20” x 10” (73cm x 50cm x 25cm) with a maximum weight of 44lbs (20 kg), plus one small hand/day bag that can go on to the coach with you. Contiki reserves the right to refuse to accept larger suitcases or bags on the trip. Wheeled suitcases can be used on Contiki trips in Asia & Latin America.On High Energy trips & Camping trips, you’ll need a sleeping bag & a towel, unless otherwise indicated- also please note that on the European Trail and the European Quest you will also require a towel, which can be purchased from Contiki in London if necessary. On trips which include Flotilla Sailing or if you have booked our Inca Trail Trek or Galapagos trip a small bag suitable for the extremely limited luggage space is required. Your regular luggage will be stored during this time. A small daypack/backpack of approx 26L capacity is suggested. Some internal flights may have baggage fees which are your responsibilty along with any overweight/excess luggage fees. Your Trip Manager may suggest you store your main luggage & utilize a smaller bag for overnight rail journeys, overnight junk boat or overnight stays at guest houses.
Luggage is carried at owner’s risk & baggage insurance is strongly recommended. Remember, if your trip includes a flight you are also subject to airline baggage restrictions.Note: Contiki is not responsible for any fees incurred as a result of overweight luggage.
AGE RESTRICTIONSLaws dealing with purchasing alcohol, entering nightclubs & bars & gambling in casinos differ around the world. For example, in Europe, you must be 18 years of age to purchase alcohol, enter nightclubs & bars & gamble in casinos. In the United States, you must be 21 years of age to purchase alcohol, enter nightclubs & bars & gamble in casinos. Acceptable forms of identification to prove age include a valid passport or United States driver’s license. Laws in Canada differ from the United States, with 18 being the legal age in Alberta & Quebec & 19 being the legal age in British Columbia & Ontario for the above activities.

Only bookings from countries subject to the EC Package Travel Directive will receive fi nancial protection from ABTA & CAA. Many of the fl ights and fl ight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are fi nancially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confi rm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certifi cate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certifi cate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about fi nancial protection and the ATOL Certifi cate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertifi cate
When you buy an ATOL protected fl ight or fl ight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certifi cate.

We, or the suppliers identifi ed on your ATOL Certifi cate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certifi cate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identifi ed on your ATOL certifi cate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefi t on) you under the ATOL scheme.
