Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive Phuket

We'll meet up with our Contiki fam in sun-kissed Phuket, Thailand's largest island, and its most dizzyingly diverse. White & gold sands, cragged karst islands, azure waters and delicious Peranakan cooking make this the perfect launchpad for our Thai adventure.

Day 2: Phuket to Khao Sok

After breakfast we'll make our way towards the beautiful Khao Sok.This afternoon is yours to explore this lush National Park - swim, tube in the river, or simply relax and soak up all that natural beauty.

Day 3: Khao Sok

Today we're taking to the water to explore even more of Khao Sok with an included cruise. Drifting through the otherworldy scenery - the limestone cliffs, the shimmering lake, the soaring forest - we'll feel like we're in paradise.

Day 4: Khao Sok to Koh Lanta

We're transferring by land and ferry today to the legendary island of Koh Lanta...Ultimate tropical vibes await us on the charming island of Koh Lanta. Slipping contently into island life, we'll have time to snorkel, swim & bathe in the sun while sipping fresh coconut juice.

Day 5: Koh Lanta

Stay on island time with a free day to do whatever makes you happy. If lying in a hammock gets old, you can explore the rich marine life in crystal clear waters surrounding the Koh Lanta coast.

Day 6: Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi

See ya Koh Lanta, we're headed to yet another palm-fringed paradise.Today we'll head to Koh Phi Phi, with its world-famous beaches, crystal clear waters and jaw-dropping rock formations. Relax on the soft sands by day, party on the beach by night if you're into that sort of thing. These buzzing islands have something for everyone.

Day 7: Koh Phi Phi

Another day on these paradise isles, with bleached sand and sun-soaked vibes all over again. It's a hard life. The day is yours today to swim, snorkel, do watersports or simply kick back with a cocktail and a book and soak up the unique beauty of the Thai islands.

Day 8: Koh Phi Phi to Phuket

Our trip finishes today with a transfer back to Phuket.Thailand, it's been emotional, we're sad to say goodbye - but we'll never forget your beauty, your charm, and your ridiculously delicious food.

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.

About the company:
Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?

Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.
