Our Customer Reviews

I had always wanted to go to New Zealand however I wasn't sure what I would do for transport - so I was so happy when a relative recommended the Kiwi Experience! They offered loads of packages for bus routes that catered for different lengths of available time in the country and the fact that you could easily find and book accommodation and activities to do through the Kiwi Experience at all the stops meant the stress of travelling really was reduced with them. You meet loads of like minded travellers on the bus and the drivers really do make the long bus drives to the stops so entertaining. For first time or young travellers that want a structured way to see some of NZ's greatest sights, the Kiwi Experience is the thing for you!

We purchased our bus pass through a travel agent which wasn’t the best thing as we wasn’t told about the clipboards for accommodation or activities. Despite this our driver, Martin, helped us with everything and made our time really enjoyable, so much so we didn’t want to switch buses! Our other drivers were really good but only had them for one journey so Martin really sticks in our mind! I would 100% use kiwi again to do the South Island!!

Happy that I got to see a lot of NZ in a short time

Loved everything the bus did together and meeting new people was just fantastic! Our driver (Martin) was a swell man that made the trip that much better!

I went from Auckland to Christchurch, and had a great time, it’s very fast paced and tiring at times but all in all met some amazing people and had a great experience. I had 3 drivers along the way and all of them were very easy to get along with, and helpful in booking anything I needed to. They’re also honest about the products they’re selling, making the whole experience for everyone cheaper and much more enjoyable! A nice change from the usual tour operators. Emily is my fave !!!!! One thing I’d say is to reduce the amount of stops on each journey - it’s hard to get settled in if you stop every 45 minutes :) Overall amazing experience.

I did kiwi experience during 3 months and it was just so much fun ! I met so many peoples and have seen so incredible places ! I won’t never forget my trip in New Zealande !! :)

Bought the KEA experience so happy we did as we met such a great bunch of people along the way

My friend and I were very short on time to travel in NewZealand. We bought the Kea Pass and almost never hopped off for 18 days. We still didn't feel like we're in a rush and due to the awesome drivers who share so much information with you and all the little stops they do, we saw plenty of rhings in New Zealand. Would recommend the Kea Pass to everyone!

Had the best month, had 2 awesome drivers for each island. Simon and then Guy, both were great.

Just did the trip, was insane and unforgettable!!!
