Contiki expands Asian offering with Borneo first

Four new tours are available through the region which continues to rise in popularity, including Contiki’s first-ever trip to Borneo as well as additional tours in China, India and the Philippines

In a recent survey conducted by the operator, 29% of travellers aged between 18-35 actively seek sustainable travel experiences, and the new tours tap into this desire.

Marking a Contiki first, the nine-day ‘Borneo Adventure’ will be a treat for wildlife lovers as travellers will have the chance to witness species which are only found in that part of the world – orang-utans, pygmy elephants, sun bears, proboscis monkeys and more. Prices lead in from £2,105 per person with eight departures available through March and October 2025.

The brand has launched a new version of its 10-day ‘Philippines Island Hopping’ itinerary following high demand for this year’s iteration. The tour will kick off in Cebu City and travel to four new islands offering the chance to see dolphins in the wild and the rare sardine run migration event. Prices lead in from £1,323 per person for departures throughout 2025 and 2026.

For those looking for a more rounded Philippines adventure, travellers can cover both the eastern and western parts of the destination in the 22-day ‘Ultimate Philippines Island Hopping’ itinerary from £2,528 per person.

Travellers can take in the hotspots on India on a budget on the nine-day ‘Eternal India Express’ tour from £1,148 per person, offer travellers the chance to visit Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Jaipur and Ranthambore over a series of departures in 2025 and 2026.

Finally, Contiki has reintroduced its popular 12-day ‘China Adventure’ trip where travellers will have the chance to tour Beijing, see Xi’An’s terracotta warriors and visit a panda sanctuary. Prices lead in from £2,313 per person.

Kelly Jackson, managing director for TTC Tour Brands EMEA, said, “Expanding our range of trips in Asia has been on the top of our agenda for a couple of years now. We’ve focussed on making these trips budget-friendly for our young travellers, lowering our base prices. Plus, Contiki’s Cyber Sale during November will give young travellers the chance to book their trip for the most affordable price.”
