Our Customer Reviews

I had no idea of what I signed up for, it was the best time of my life. I loved every minute of it.

This was a spur of the moment decision to do and I will never regret it! I left Australia to travel New Zealand for one month and the kiwi experience was the best way to do it! I saw so many beautiful places but most importantly met so many amazing people (both travellers and bus drivers!).

Fun two months very well organised and a relief to not have to stress about travel and accom too much

It was a lot more guided than we anticipated - it often felt like a school trip. And for the first half, we struggled with our driver guide but upon leaving him for another, we massively missed him! Sometimes they can be incredibly grumpy and you feel like you’re an inconvenience. But shoutout to Martin for being the best grumpy driver and shoutout to Bods for overall being the nicest, most informative driver ever. I highly recommend this experience to young travellers interested in drinking a lot and generally being a mess, especially if you have a lot of money. It was easy for us to make do with it purely because of the incredible people we met along the way. Like minded people who wanted to see the sights and not just the cheapest alcohol on sale at the hostel we were staying at. But overall we honestly had the most amazing time and we miss the whole experience every single day!

I got a good deal on my fush and chups tour and saw so much of NZ and made some really great friends! Would definitely recommend!

I went on Kiwi in April 2018. You get to know many people and see all of NZ. But I must say that the help we got when Kiwi at one point had but my friends on the wrong bus without telling them was under all criticism. The bus drivers didn't help and was very rude. And when they called kiwi support they said that it wasn't there problem. So as long as nothing goes wrong Kiwi is really good but the help is not.

Amazing experience, very organised and the bus drivers are great and always willing to give you information and join in with the fun!

Have heard so many great reviews of this trip and so glad I had booked onto it! The amount of places you get to visit and the memories and people that you meet are just unforgettable and I couldn’t imagine getting such an incredible experience elsewhere! Our bus driver James was also amazing! Always topping us up on the local facts and nothing was too much trouble, will 100% be reccomending the kiwi experience to anyone who is considering travelling New Zealand! Also loved the ease of booking daily accommodation and trips totally stress free, and you are taken to the hidden little gems of New Zealand which you may miss if travelling alone.

This Trip was very good. I am a lazy person and don't want to plan anything. So the Kiwi Bus done everything for me.

Did the Southern Round-Up trip for about 2 weeks (pretty much stuck to minimum time). Fantastic experience, had 3 different drivers but Ben was the best and possibly the highlight of the entire trip, being helpful on the bus trips but also sociable and approachable in the evenings. New Zealand was fantastic but the Kiwi Experience made it most memorable. Given that NZ is vast and not hugely populated, being part of a large group travelling around makes it amazing.
