Welcome to the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown (Tāhuna)! The next few days are all about keeping your dancing feet happy and your adrenaline levels fully topped up. You ready? Good, because tonight you'll be meeting up with your Trip Manager and fellow NYE party heads! This evening you'll head out for an included dinner at a local spot. Then, we're off to a pre-Rhythm & Alps event with VIP access for your Contiki fam.

Wake up and get stuck into your included breakfast. Today, you'll head to the Rhythm and Alps Festival but not before stopping for lunch in Wānaka.Welcome to Rhythm and Alps, AKA New Zealand's finest music festival situated in the oh-so-captivating Cardrona Valley (not far from Wānaka). Get ready to witness some of the best bands and DJs in the world, and party the night away in spectacular fashion. Just remember to save a little energy for the big night ahead tomorrow!

Oh hello the best day/night of the year. Today you'll be kept busy running between stages, munching down tasty festival food and generally rolling around loving life. And then tonight, the main event - as the clock strikes 12, watch the sky come alive with fireworks, and feel pretty chuffed that you're sharing this moment with all new pals.

Festival fun might have come to an end, but your NZ adventure certainly hasn't. We'll make our way back to the adventure capital of the world - Queenstown - and what better day than New Year's Day to start ticking off some serious bucket list items. Skydive? Bungy jump? Zip-lining? There ain't nothing you can't do in Queenstown, and our Free Time Add Ons will have you screaming with excitement every second of the day. Tonight you can choose to jump on a gondola and wine & dine atop of the highest restaurant in Queenstown, Skyline. What a way to start our time here!

Two free days to do as you please, and the opportunities are endless. Skydiving, bungy, vineyards...just make sure you see out your last days with a bang. Feel free to take time out from all the high energy activities and replace some of those calories you burned with a big breakfast on us, whether you’re in the mood for a Fergburger or want to visit the local bakery. Then we'll finish things in style, with an included final night dinner, where we can swap stories of our adventures and start planning the next one. We'll be wining dining at one of Queenstown's best spots – mind-boggling views on the house.

Our trip ends after breakfast - sob. Who's up for the same time next year? We're game if you are.
