Meet 

Contiki 

Here’s why people come from all over the world 

to see America, Canada & Mexico with us. 

Only for 18-35s. 

No younger, 

no older. 

Meet people your age. Make friends from 

all over the world, who love traveling & want 

to have a good time. 

Lots of vacation. 

Less hassle. 

Lugging a heavy backpack in the rain? Getting 

lost? Hanging around, wasting time? Not with 

Contiki. We do the hard work for you. So you 

can get on with having a good time. 

We know there’s a ton to cover, so while 

you’re here why not connect with some of our 

other North America tours? Many link up with 

one another, so you can really experience this 

area in-depth. See the ‘Mix + Match’ section 

on the tour pages for options. You can even 

‘Flip your trip’ & choose to travel a number of 

North American tours in reverse. Check out the 

maps on the tour pages for more info. 

The best parts. 

And more of them. 

The best time of day to see the sun set over 

the Grand Canyon? We’ll tell you. The tastiest 

tacos in Mexico? We’ll show you. The most 

amazing views over Canada’s glaciers? 

We’ll take you there.

More extras. 

For less. 

Your Contiki tour gets you lots of extras, for 

no extra cash. 

Imagine cruising at sunset, drink in hand on a 

catamaran in San Fran? Riding in a limo down 

‘the Strip’ in Vegas with champagne? Or 

having a picnic in the breathtaking Canadian 

Rockies? All included, plus much more. 

You’ll know exactly what you get for your 

money, so you can plan your trip (& budget) 

before you go. More on pages 7 & 8-9. 

Then there are the extras you can’t buy. Like 

charging your phone & gadgets as you travel. 

There’s more unique Contiki extras on page 12. 

Free time. 

Your time. 

All our tours have free time, every day. 

So you’ll get plenty of time to do your own 

thing. Explore the backstreets, find a great 

place for a bite, or just sit back & chill. It’s your 

free time & it’s completely flexible. 

There’s even more things you can do in your 

free time with our Explore More optional 

activities. Whatever you’re into - art, adventure 

sports, music or food - there’s loads of choice 

& we’ll figure it out. We’ve even negotiated 

great prices for you too. More on pages 10-11. 

Still exploring. 

49 years on. 

In 1962 New Zealander John Anderson 

went to London. He had an idea. He rented 

a minibus. He filled it with young people 

who wanted to travel. They toured Europe 

together, and Contiki was born. 

49 years later, the Contiki spirit is stronger 

than ever. We travel to even more places in 

North America - & beyond. We have more fun. 

We meet more people. And we’re trusted by 

travelers all over the world. 

Know. Then go.

ON THE ROAD 

OUR TEAM 

With our expert on-road team on hand, 

get ready for good times. Your Tour 

Manager & Driver are what really 

make the difference. 

They take the hassle out of traveling. They know 

their stuff just like the locals - where you’re going, 

the must see sights & places off the beaten 

track too. They learned the ropes on an intensive 

training trip, but it’s their passion that is the Contiki 

difference. 

For our crew, it’s not just a job. Like you, they’re 

travelers who love to explore & share their passion 

for travel with you.

GETTING 

AROUND 

North America is a pretty big place 

with tons to experience, so on 

some trips we fly too. This means 

you’ll get where you’re going faster 

- so you can spend more time 

exploring in the places that count. 

Our coaches are some of the best in North America 

& we update them regularly to make sure they’re 

good for the environment too. Sit back in your 

reclining seat & chill, or tune in while your Tour 

Manager gives you the low down on where you’re 

headed. There’s power outlets for charging your 

phone & camera too - so there’s no chance they’ll 

run out of juice (don’t forget your adapter plug).

TOP 

ACCOMMODATION. 

Our tours mix a variety of accommodation styles from 

hotels to lodges & resorts. They’re all quality, comfortable 

& we keep it flexible with our room types so you can go 

solo, or share with others. 

On our tours you’ll sleep in amazing places like... 

- Beachside, in a hotel with views of Isla Mujeras Bay in Cancun 

- Right in the heart of ‘the Strip’ in Las Vegas 

- In a chalet with views of the Rocky Mountains 

- A centrally located hotel in San Francisco 

- In a lodge near the rim of the Grand Canyon 

- In a hotel right in the heart of downtown L.A. with a rooftop garden 

The Pines Resort, Bass Lake 

FRESH FOOD 

– EVERYDAY 

Our tours include breakfast most days & 

lots of evening meals. We don’t include 

every meal especially lunches, for a reason. . 

We give you the flexibility to explore 

in your free time, meet some locals & try all l 

kinds of foods, unique to the places 

you’re visiting. 

We know there’s loads to tempt the tastebuds, 

so here’s some inspiration… 

- Enchiladas, pibil & ceviche in Mexico 

- Cajun cuisine mixed with French-flair in New Orleans 

- Pastrami on rye & bagels in NYC 

- Hotdogs laden with tasty relish on Venice beach 

* If you’ve got any special dietary requirements, be sure to let us know at the time you book 

your trip. We’ll try our best to make sure that you’re accommodated, but occasionally things 

can vary from place to place & we’re not always able to get meals to your exact requirement.

Small footprint. 

Big commitment. 

Our Foundation. We’re founding partners 

of The Travel Corporation Conservation 

Foundation – a not for profit foundation. 

So far the Foundation has committed over US$2 million to help underprivileged 

communities & support sustainable tourism around the world. 

Since the Foundation commenced in 2008, it has; 

– Helped to protect over 3 million hectares of Atlantic Forest in Brazil 

– Supported indigenous sustainable tourism in The Kimberley, Australia 

– Supported the construction of 3 conservation wildlife research 

camps in Northern Botswana 

– Helped develop sustainable tourism practices as a primary 

sponsor for the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards 

We’re committed to helping preserve our 

natural environment for the future. Recently, we 

partnered with Tourism Cares (a not-for-profit 

organisation who arrange volunteer efforts to 

restore tourism-related sites) to assist with their 

Grand Canyon preservation project. As part 

of Grand Canyon Conservation Day, 20 of our 

team assisted in restoring native vegetation in a 

section of the National Park in an effort to help 

rejuvenate this amazing site (pictured right).

Winter Wild Western 

These winter itineraries are exactly the same as the

3 fun-filled days of snow action at Lake Tahoe instead. 

When to go 

Can’t wait to go? Departures that include Ski Tahoe in 

the itinerary run from December 2010 to March 2011 &

About Tahoe 

Lake Tahoe is one of North America’s most beautiful 

lakes & also one of it’s best ski resorts, straddling 2 

states - California & Nevada. It’s the perfect blend of 

amazingly spectacular scenery, pristine mountains & a 

pumping nightlife. Where else can you find a place that 

offers all this natural beauty plus the 24 hour non-stop 

bling of Vegas-style casinos & clubs? 

Contiki travellers can choose to hit the slopes at 3 of 

Tahoe’s best ski areas including Heavenly, Kirkwood 

& Sierra-at-Tahoe. The average annual snowfall here is 

10.67 metres, so fantastic conditions are the norm. And 

with so much great terrain, there’s a perfect balance 

of something for everyone – beginners, intermediates 

& advanced. Activities don’t just include skiing (both 

downhill & cross-country) & snowboarding, there’s lots 

to pick from including ice-skating & snowmobiling. 

Note: ski passes, equipment & clothing hire are not 

included in the tour price. Please visit contiki.com for

Do I need a

You will need a machine readable passport 

and depending on your nationality, a Visa 

for travel to the USA, Canada and Mexico. 

Travellers from countries participating 

in the Visa Waiver Program will also 

need to present a completed and signed 

I-94W Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival- 

Departure Record to U.S. officials at the 

port of entry. I-94W forms are free and are 

often provided by airlines or cruise ships 

prior to arrival, but may be picked up and 

completed on arrival at the U.S. port of 

entry. Please speak to your travel agent 

or visit the U.S. State Department website: 

www.travel.state.gov. It is now mandatory 

that all nationals or citizens of VWP 

countries who plan to travel to the United 

States for temporary business or pleasure 

under the VWP receive an electronic travel 

authorization through ESTA (Electronic 

System for Travel Authorization) prior to 

boarding a U.S. bound airplane or vessel.

72 hours prior to your departure date from

www.cbp.gov or www.travel.state.gov 

What are the age 

restrictions in 

bars & casinos? 

Laws in the United States dealing with 

purchasing alcohol, entering nightclubs & 

bars, and gambling in casinos differ from 

many other countries around the world. In 

the United States, you must be 21 years of 

age to purchase alcohol, enter nightclubs 

& bars, and 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 and Quebec and 19 being the 

legal age in British Columbia and Ontario 

for the above activities. 

Do I need 

vaccinations? 

At the time this brochure went to press 

(July 2010), no vaccinations were 

necessary. However, it is wise to check up 

to date information with your travel agent 

prior to departure. Don’t forget to bring with 

you any medication that you may require 

en route, e.g. antihistamines, antibiotics. 

Can I stay longer 

Planning a few extra days? See our Special 

Hotel Rates in Los Angeles, Cancun, 

Chicago, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Mexico City, 

New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, 

and Vancouver detailed on p.53. 

How much 

money do I need? 

Credit and debit cards are accepted in 

the USA & Canada however you should 

carry some US Dollar Traveller Cheques

are unable to find a bank. Remember to 

budget for lunch, some dinners, entrance 

fees to attractions, optional excursions, 

nightclubs, souvenirs and drinks. A full 

list of optional excursions (payable by 

major Credit Cards, Cash or Traveller 

Cheques) and approximate costs will be

arranged and paid for on tour. By leaving 

the final decisions until then you can 

choose at the same time as your new 

friends, you’ll get great value as we get you 

great rates and your Tour Manager can 

offer personal advice. Some activities are 

seasonal and weather dependent as well. 

How do I pay? You pay on tour in US 

dollars or Canadian dollars. Contiki accepts 

Visa, Master Card & American Express. 

What should I pack? 

Comfortable, casual clothing for day wear 

and ‘smart/casual’ for dining and those 

special evenings on the town. Remember 

that early or later in the season you 

will need warmer clothing as well as a 

raincoat/anorak. A pair of comfortable 

walking shoes is strongly recommended. 

For further details, please refer to your 

‘Travellers Guide’ information book. 

How much luggage 

can I bring?

x 50cm x 25cm (29’’ x 20’’ x 10’’) and 

maximum weight of 20 kilos (44lbs). NO

additional or overweight bags & is the 

client’s responsibility to pay. Fees range 

from USD $25-100. Contiki reserves the

5. LIABILITY

earned on such monies.

monies in respect of your vacation shall be deemed to be an 

authorization for disbursement thereof as aforesaid. 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES 

1. BOOKING YOUR VACATION 

1.1 In order to reserve your vacation, a deposit of C$200, 

per person per tour, or the full amount payable if booking 

is made within 45 days of departure from Canada, must 

be submitted to Contiki within 7 days in respect of that 

vacation. This payment is in addition to any deposit 

required by your travel agent. The deposit is accepted as a 

first installment of the vacation price by Contiki only once 

the booking has been confirmed in writing by Contiki or 

your travel agent. The initial deposit of C$200 per person 

must be made by credit card. 

1.2 Your land reservation will be confirmed on receipt of a 

non refundable deposit of C$200 per person, per tour which 

must be within 7 days of booking or the reservation will 

automatically be cancelled. 

1.3 Any special meal requirements will be made on a 

request basis only. Contiki cannot guarantee special meal 

requests nor will it assume any responsibility or liability if 

clients’ special meal requirements are not fulfilled. 

1.4 Travel documents and instructions for joining your tour 

will be sent to you approximately 21 days before departure 

(provided full payment has been received). 

If final payment is not received when due, costs to courier 

documents will be the responsibility of the Travel Agent. 

2. PAYING THE BALANCE 

2.1 The balance of the vacation price must be paid by no 

later than 45 days before the scheduled vacation departure 

date from Canada which shall be by the due date stated on 

the confirmation issued to you by Contiki. 

2.2 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may 

assume that you have cancelled and cancellation charges in 

accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki. 

2.3 Tickets and other documents won’t be forwarded 

until full payment has been received by us. Travel agency 

cheques must be received within 7 business days from the 

date payment is called in. 

2.4 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your 

departure from Canada, the full cost of the vacation will be 

payable immediately on booking and we reserve the right to 

provide all travel documents at the vacation departure point. 

2.5 Contiki reserves the right to cancel the booking and 

apply cancellation charges should payments not be received 

within the above specified periods. 

2.6 Your authorization to use your Credit Card number for 

deposit and/or final payment indicates your compliance with 

our booking conditions, whether or not you have actually 

signed the appropriate draft. Verbal authorization of the use of 

your Credit Card confirms your reservation. MasterCard, Visa 

and American Express are accepted. Credit Card payments 

are not accepted for group bookings. A signed sales draft is 

required. If you wish to change a credit card payment after 

it has been processed, change fees will apply. For security 

purposes, we are required to collect the passenger’s credit 

card billing address as well as the customer verification code. 

3. IF YOU CANCEL 

3.1 Notice of cancellation must be made in writing to Contiki. 

3.2 If you cancel, your deposit will not be refunded nor can 

it be credited to any other booking. 

3.3 Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to 

cover the estimate of cost and expenses incurred by us 

in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder. This is 

expressed as a percentage of the vacation price and is 

calculated as follows: 

PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE 

Number of days prior to as % of 

tour commencement total price 

45 days or more notice The non-refundable deposit 

plus the Travel Protection 

Plan’s insurance premium 

is forfeited 

44-22 days: 25% 

21-8 days: 30% 

7-1 days: 50% 

Day of departure: 100% 

Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the tour 

deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the 

reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any vacation 

insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges 

may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be 

refunded to you by the insurance company. 

3.4 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to 

and after your tour or resort booking, such as pre and post 

accommodation and transfers, that are cancelled within 14 

days of the tour departure incur a 100% cancellation fee. 

3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any 

cancellation fees that may be levied by your Travel Agent. 

3.6 If flight changes are requested after the deposit has been 

received, or if flights are cancelled after tickets are issued, 

revision fees, change fees or Airline cancellation fees will be 

applicable and will be in addition to the above cancellation 

charges. Some airfares including published fares booked by 

Contiki, are totally non-refundable. 

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING 

4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to 

change to an alternate departure date or you wish to change to 

a different Contiki vacation, you may do so subject to availability 

and provided the new vacation date is also in this brochure. 

4.2 A fee of C$30 per person will be charged for any 

revision or alteration made to a reservation after the 

booking is confirmed unless the change increases the 

value of the booking. A change of tour date or tour 

itinerary within 45 days of departure date will be treated 

as a cancellation, and normal cancellation fees will apply 

except when the change is to an earlier tour departure of 

equivalent or greater value in which case a C$30 per person 

amendment fee will be charged. 

5. VACATION DETAILS AND CONDITIONS 

5.1 Please read the brochure carefully for those items 

included in the price. No allowance or refund can be made for 

meals, accommodation, excursions, etc. that you elect not to 

take, or when museums, shops, etc are closed. Hotel facilities 

may vary from place to place. Meals may vary in style. 

5.2 Contiki holidays are specifically designed and marketed 

for those in the 18 through 35 age group. Consequently 

the facilities and activities on a Contiki vacation are not 

appropriate to persons outside this age bracket. If you have 

a question regarding the age groups, you are welcome to 

discuss this with a member of the Contiki staff. 

5.3 Contiki strives to provide a safe, enjoyable and 

memorable travel experience. Please be aware, however, 

that some transportation services and accommodations 

may not be equipped to provide access and support to 

all individuals. Therefore, all passengers are requested to 

advise us, in advance, of any physical, medical or special 

needs, accommodations or requirements. This may include 

the need for a wheelchair or walking-assistance device, 

wheelchair access, need for supplementary oxygen or 

any other requirements. Contiki will not impose eligibility 

criteria that either screen out or tend to screen out persons 

with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying all goods, 

services, privileges, advantages or accommodations offered 

to individuals without disabilities, but Contiki reserves the 

right to impose such requirements when necessary for the 

provision of the goods, services, privileges, advantages or 

accommodations. There may be circumstances (compelling 

reasons) when traveling companions are required to 

accompany disabled passengers. Contiki reserves the 

right to impose safety requirements necessary for the safe 

operation of the tour. Contiki also reserves the right to 

exclude an individual with a disability from participation 

in an activity if that individual’s participation would result 

in a direct threat to the health or safety of others. In such 

circumstance, we will make a determination as to whether 

there is a significant risk that cannot be eliminated or 

reduced to an acceptable level by reasonable modifications 

to our policies, practices or procedures or by the provision 

of appropriate auxiliary aids or services. If you fail to 

provide us with any physical, medical or special needs, 

accommodations or requirements prior to the start of the 

tour, and it is determined, based on information you should 

have provided, that your continued participation in the tour 

poses a safety risk to yourself, or a direct health or safety 

threat to others, you may be excluded from the tour. In this 

event, you will be responsible for all costs associated with 

your departure from the tour. You agree to hold Contiki, and 

all related, affiliated and associated entities and companies, 

harmless from any and all damages that may arise from 

our decision to exclude an individual from participating on 

a Contiki tour, or from any activities or accommodations on 

a Contiki tour. Contiki reserves the right to remove any tour 

member whose conduct or behavior is incompatible with, or 

detrimental to, the interests of the tour or other individuals 

on the tour. Contiki is not responsible or liable for any costs 

or losses you may incur due to your removal from a tour 

due to inappropriate conduct or behavior. 

5.4 You are responsible for all travel arrangements and 

costs to/from the point of commencement/conclusion of 

the vacation. 

5.5 There may be times when the Contiki Tour Manager 

or Representative has to make a decision in your best 

interest or the best interests of their group. You agree to 

comply with the authority and decisions of the appointed 

Contiki Tour Manager or Representative and the laws 

of the country in which you are traveling. If you do 

not so comply or if, in the Contiki Tour Manager’s or 

Representative’s opinion, you are not compatible with the 

general enjoyment and well being of other members on 

the tour or the smooth operation of the vacation itself, 

we reserve the right to refuse to let you continue with the 

tour. Furthermore you agree that your fellow travellers and 

any Contiki Representative has the right to travel/work in a 

safe environment. Any threats to their safety, well being or 

inappropriate behavior by you, whether verbal or physical, 

will be taken extremely seriously and may result in the 

immediate termination of your vacation. In either event, you 

will be responsible for your own repatriation and related 

costs and have no claims against us. 

5.5.1 You are responsible for any costs incurred as a 

result of damage or excess cleaning fees related to your 

accommodation. You are advised to immediately report any 

pre-existing damage in your room to hotel/Contiki Village staff 

and/or a Contiki Tour Manager as soon as it is discovered. 

5.6 Where the passenger occupies a motorcoach seat fitted 

with a safety belt, neither the operator or service providers, 

agents or co-operating organizations shall be liable for any 

illness, injury or death or any loss or damages or claims 

whatsoever arising from any accident or incident, if the safety 

belt is not being worn at the time of the accident or incident. 

5.7 It is your responsibility to have a valid passport and all 

visas, permits and certificates required for your selected 

vacation as well as any necessary vaccinations and to 

comply with all applicable laws. 

5.8 You agree that our Contiki Tour Managers or 

Representatives may take photographs and films of you 

while you are on vacation and that these may be used in our 

Group brochures and/or advertising or publicity material 

without obtaining any further consent or payment in respect 

of such photographs and/or films. 

5.9 Should you have a complaint in respect of the vacation, 

you should inform the Contiki Tour Manager or Representative 

during the course of the vacation and if the matter cannot be 

resolved after the representative’s best endeavours to do so 

during the vacation, your complaint should be made in writing 

to Contiki as soon as is reasonably possible after the vacation 

but within 42 days thereof so that your complaint can be 

investigated. Any claims made after the 42 day period will not 

be considered by Contiki. If you choose to write to Contiki via 

the Internet, please provide your home address so that we are 

able to reply to you in writing. 

5.10.1 The contract and all matters arising in respect 

hereof shall be subject to English Law, unless we agree 

otherwise in writing. 

5.10.2 If any provision of this contract is held invalid or 

unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that 

provision shall be deemed to be re-written to give effect to the 

same purpose within the permitted limits of the law. The validity 

and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected. 

5.10.3 If you are unsuccessful in any legal action instituted 

against us, you agree to pay all our costs, including but not 

limited to, attorney/client costs.
