On Contiki New Zealand Tours baggage is restricted to one (non-expanding) reasonably sized suitcase. Metal framed backpacks and vanity cases are not permitted as they may damage others luggage during transit. You may also bring one carry on bag.

On tours with included flights as part of the itinerary, you’ll need to make sure your luggage doesn’t exceed the weight restrictions imposed by airlines. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred for overweight luggage.

  1. The brochure thing i got with my contiki documents says for new zealand: the maximum for suitcases is 73cm x 50cm x 25cm and a weight of 20kg. Hope that helps

  2. I’m going on the NZ trip and every suitcase owned by me or my family is expanding because we find that easier so never buy anything else. It is actually a great way to compact the luggage by closing it while expanded then re-zipping the expansion part back to the usual size which is much easier to do after it is closed.

    Do I have to go out and buy another case or will they be willing to trust that I will promise no to use the small expansion part – cases are expensive!

  3. I have a 90 litre Black Wolf Cuba and it has metal back supports so is this classed as metal framed? And is it suitable

  6. If I’m doing an Ultimate Winter Adventure in NZ can I bring my snowboard bag as well as a suitcase? Or am I just allowed the one bag?

  9. By metal framed backpack do you mean one with wheels and a sliding metal handle or do you mean an entirely metal frame??
