Frequently Asked Questions

    • I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

      Accommodation is based on twin-share accommodation, so if you are a solo traveller you will share a room with another traveller of the same gender. However, if you would prefer your own private room this can be arranged by paying a single supplement, if you would like to arrange this please choose this option on the booking page or by contacting our team of travel experts.

    • Do I need a visa?

      As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot organise visas for you on your behalf as the visa requirements are regularly being updated and vary for the nationality of one traveller to the next. It is for this reason that we recommend checking with your local embassy or consulate website for the latest up to date information.

    • Is there a hotel list available?

      All accommodations are subject to change until 4-6 weeks before the departure date and due to this Contiki does not provide a hotel list until you receive your final travel documents which are usually sent 30 days prior to the tour departing.

    • What is the age range?

      Contiki is a youth-based tour company and due to this the age range for this tour is 18 to 35 years old only.

      Unfortunately, this means that adults or children outside of this age range are not eligible to participate in this tour due to the nature of the tour and the included activities.

    • Can you assist with booking additional accommodation before or after the tour?

      Of course, we can! Once you have a confirmed booking on this tour, we can request additional accommodation for you with Contiki.

    • Do you arrange airport transfers?

      Airport transfers are not included in the tour price however once you have a confirmed booking they can be organised for an additional cost by contacting our team of travel experts.

    • When and where does the tour start?

      The tour starts from a centrally located hotel in Phuket which will be confirmed once you have a confirmed booking. The first day is just an arrivals day so there are no activities planned other than hotel hangs and relaxing around the pool until you meet your fellow travellers at 6pm.

    • When and where does the tour end?

      The tour ends on the last day of the tour at a centrally located hotel in Phuket. On the last day you will be driving back to Phuket after the morning in Krabi and will arrive back in the afternoon at approximately 1pm, however, the time can vary due to the traffic and driving conditions so its recommended to either book an extra nights stay in Phuket to avoid missing flights or book a flight that leaves no earlier than 3pm.
