Hi all. I am in the process of choosing my tour, and Im 99% sure Im going with Beaches & Reefs. At first I thought it would be a good idea to start in Sydney/end in Cairns. But, after reading a ton of posts here, the tour that starts in Cairns/end in Sydney seems to be the most popular. Is there a reason for this? I need to make a decision by monday and Im sooooo confused!

Hey Anita...

So I had my Beaches and Reefs tour booked for May 24th starting in SYDNEY AND guess WHAT? It got cancelled! So they now have me booked for the Reverse option.. CAIRNS to SYDNEY. May 30th! I guess the reason for that is, No matter where you end your tour, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO FLY BACK TO SYDNEY to fly back home ..therefore its kinda easier to END your tour in SYDNEY and or spend some extra days in the city partyin it up? I dont know but Either way, THIS IS the best tour so Im glad the dates worked out with my flight...

BEACHES AND REEF MAY 30TH , CANT WAIT!!

WHEN ARE YOU BOOKED FOR, HAVE U DECIDED ON THE DATE?
P.S- where do you live? Im from CANADA.. travelling SOLO ..Newzealand first then AUSTRALIA.

Hi Maliha! Sorry to hear your trip got cancelled, but at least you were able to rearrange! I booked my trip a couple of days ago. Leaving August 20, starting in Cairns! Im soooo excited!

Wow...your going to New Zealand also! It looks so beautiful! I wanted to see New Zealand as well but unfortunately I wasnt able to fit it into my schedule. Maybe next year! So, how much time will you be away touring with Contiki? Your trip is almost here....are you ready for it?

Im from the USA, but Im traveling solo as well. Are you nervous about traveling solo at all?
