FAQs
- Sydney: Why does the itinerary use dual-names for locations (ie. Warrane/Sydney)? Contiki acknowledges the Traditional and Torres Strait Island owners of the land, sea and waters of the spectacular Australian continent. Dual-naming reflects that, as we explore this remarkable land, we recognise and respect Indigenous custodianship of a unique, ancient culture and country.
- Gimuy (Cairns): Can I catch a flight the next day after diving at the Great Barrier Reef? It’s best to wait at least 24 hours after your last dive before flying.

Tour Operator
Contiki (CA)
Contiki is a New Zealand-based tour company that caters to 18 to 35-year-olds, offering over 350 different tours in over 75 countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.[1] It is a subsidiary of The Travel Corporation. Its tours historically had a reputation for partying;[2][3] however, it also operates wellness trips culturally immersive experiences that focus less on alcohol, which are more popular with Generation Z.[4] The company owns lodging facilities in Europe, including the Chateau De Cruix, a 16th century castle in the Beaujolais wine region, and the Gasthof Schoneck in the Austrian Tyrol. The name "Contiki" comes from the portmanteau 'Con' from the word 'Continent' and 'Tiki'; from the Māori referring to the first man, often symbolised as a pendant known as hei-tiki. It can also be attributed to the New Zealand slang 'Tiki-tour' describing taking a longer route to a destination in order to explore.[5]

Although i was one of two snorkelers on the trip, i became friends with all of the divers and have made lifelong friendships that i can't ever imagine losing! The food was incredible and the staff were amazing, totally made the experience better! The marine life was astonishing, if you get the chance to go to the Great Barrier Reef, you will not regret it!! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, just be prepared that there may not be many snorkelers, as it is run by a diving company. As well as the age range is not restricted. It's super chill on board and everyone was always laughing and having fun! It's so worth it!! Communication with Contiki was great in regards to booking this trip! Although this trip was run by another company, it was still easy to gain the information i needed to successfully plan my trip!
