Our New Zealand bus travel timetable will help you navigate your way around our comprehensive travel network. It shows pick-up days, pick-up points, and approximate pick-up times (remember that any pick-up point is a drop-off point too).

During summer most of our bus stops have daily pick-ups/drop-offs. In winter each location will have at least 4-5 departures per week and a departure at least every second day.

Because we depart more often and have such a large fleet it’s easy to jump on and off along the way and know that a bus will be driving back through every town in 1-2 days.

To see what days the bus departs each scheduled overnight stop view our timetable
Timetable - valid from 1st January to 8th April 2012.

When jumping off just let your Driver Guide know and make sure you grab your ticket. When you want to jump back on and continue your New Zealand bus travel adventure, contact us in advance so that we can make sure there is a spare seat waiting for you. This is a really important point – if you don’t call us we won’t know where or when to pick you up from. Everyone wants to travel with Kiwi Experience, especially in summer, so the more time you can give us the better!
