Our Customer Reviews

Really fun, amazing people but not quite as hop-on, hop-off as it seems. We were highly recommended the experience, and for good reason but if you want to get off the beaten track, you need to take your own initiative. Also, if you plan to stay more days than the ‘minimum time’, PRE BOOK YOUR ITINERARY - especially during high season. You can’t be as spontaneous as advertised, but overall I think it’s worth it.

I travelled New Zealand with Kiwi Experience for 3 months. It was the best way to travel the country because you can hop on or off wherever and whenever you want. I got to see so many beautiful places and meet new people from around the world!

The best holiday...... so much to see and do. The Kiwis are such friendly helpful people.

We bought the ticket a few months ago and all in all we are happy about it!

I didn't know much about Kiwi Experience before I booked but I honestly had the most amazing time - met some incredible people, stayed in some awesome places and had the most incredible adventure!

The trip with Kiwi was awesome. We really enjoyed all the services - all the clipboards - where you signed up for accom. and activities. It was nice with some knowledge about the landscape and cities. The drives could sometimes be a little long with too many stops for hikes/photos/shopping. The bus is TOO COLD: wear long pants and a jacket if you don't wanne get sick. But overall really awesome and nice that you have everything you need to know in the Kiwi Ex app. :) Would def. recommend!

Decided to go to new Zealand alone and was the best decision I could have made. Met so many great people along the way.

Cuddles was the best driver ever! Was super helpful and a cracking sense of humor, he was always giving us special tips and went the extra mile to make sure we made the most of our kiwi experience. I was so glad to have him again on the South Island.. Amanda was also very nice and explained everything clearly. We had a driver from Wellington to Kaiteriteri on the 4th February who was extremely rude and passive aggressive. He was reluctant to help us and very patronizing

We found it really easy to book accommodation and activities through the KE. The worst thing about the experience is that during peak season it’s not the hop on hop off adventure it’s described as. We had Josh (with the beard) as our driver for a stretch and he was brilliant, we were really sad to leave him! He was really helpful, funny & genuine. We also had Ninja for the stretch into Queenstown and again he was one of our favourite drivers as he was so helpful, not to mention he had a great playlist! Grant on the bottom bus, Deep South section, was another great driver & really made the trip

I had an amazing trip with kiwi experience, i travelled for two month and the drivers were very helpful
