Itinerary

Day 1: Vancouver to Whistler

Welcome to the picturesque Pacific Coast and the start of your snap-happy trip! Not many cities can claim fusing big-city living with the great outdoors, but with its skyscrapers, beaches, forest and mountains, Vancouver has somehow nailed that perfect mix and we will...

Day 2: Whistler

Come winter, Whistler may be a haven for snowbunnies, but when the weather is warm, it’s activity central. Test your Popeye strength by canoeing along the River of Golden Dreams, zipline over churning rivers or take a hike through scenery that puts most postcards to s...

Day 3: Whistler to Kamloops

Today it's down the slopes and into Canada's Wild West interior, but for those that need one last epic snap-worthy view, take a ride on the Peak 2 Peak to see more of the mountains, the lake and maybe even a black bear or two. After zooming past idyllic Seton Lake, we...

Day 4: Kamloops to Jasper via Mt. Robson

Well rested, we'll take in some incredible photographers dream scenes on our drive this morning, and you might even see the highest point in the Rockies if weather permits. Eating outdoors is essential in these parts, so we'll load you up with a picnic lunch against a...

Day 5: Jasper

Rise 'n' shine - it's time to get out there with your cameras, we are heading out early to get some pics of Pyramid Lake, the light is awesome at this time of day and there is a better chance to see wildlife! Later, we have an easy hike though Maligne Canyon. Towering...

Day 6: Jasper to Banff

On our way to Banff today, you'll be glued to the windows as we pass the waterfalls, lakes, meadows, glaciers and towering mountains that make up the Columbia Icefield Parkway. Wheel across the Athabasca Glacier on the Ice Explorer, and cure that cotton-mouth with a d...

Day 7: Banff

There's loads on the menu today in Banff: hop on a gondola (and hold your nose) up Sulphur Mountain, take a heli-tour and get some epic shots from above the high country or play knock-and-run in the 800 rooms that make up the landmark Banff Springs Hotel; a gothic mon...

Day 8: Banff to Vernon

Its a Snap early start today to beat the crowds! First up is Johnston Canyon and a short hike to the lower falls and for the more adventurous you can hike to the upper falls. Its a jaw-dropping day of changing scenery as we cut through three national parks on our way ...

Day 9: Vernon to Vancouver

We're sure you'll agree that meandering through Canada's wine country; the famed Okanagan Valley - is a great way to kill time on the drive back to Vancouver. It's time to see everything of this magical metropolis that you missed the first time around, we'll treat you...

Day 10: Vancouver

A hidden grassroots art scene, eating adventures in abundance, and a pretty seaport setting - your free day in Vancouver will not be short of magic. If the pokey galleries and cute cafes get old, roam one of the cities many parks or gardens or find a spot to take some...

Day 11: Depart Vancouver

All photo albums must come to an end, and so does our alpine adventure this morning. If you want to squeeze one last drop out of the trip you could take on the mighty Capilano Suspension Bridge, which stretches 70 metres above a roaring river, and walk amongst the tre...

We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.

No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.

We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.

With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.

Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’.
