Amazing experience!

I spent 1 month doing the Kiwi experience with 2 of my friends and I’ve had the best time ever. We met so many nice people and made lifelong friends, and we have had such a fantastic month. The bus drivers were amazing and would go above and beyond for us, and we’re so friendly and welcoming. My favourite place had to be Lake Tekapo because the hostel was lovely and the lake and mountains were stunning, but Queenstown had to be a close second - it was so much fun. At the start of our trip we hadn’t decided on an itinerary and so had a bit of stress when we discovered we had to preplan and prebook lots of the accommodation - we were on standby for a little while which we hadn’t anticipated at all, but other than this it was great.

Great bus trip!

Had a fab time on Kiwi Experience- great that accommodation is sorter & not much prior research is needed for activities because of the clip boards passed round the bus! Liked that the drivers were driver guides so would tell a bit of information about key points we were passing (but not long and boring) & photo stops at the key places en route between stops like the west coast & Nelson Lakes! Great as a solo traveller because a lot stick on the same bus (so do it as a tour) but also can catch up with friends/ they catch up with you if hopping off

Worth it

Loved this trip. Don’t budget on activities! You’ll regret it and when will you have the chance to turn that regret around? Budget on food and accomodation if you have to. I know the struggle, but after 4 weeks I have only one regret; that I didn’t book the southpass as well. Thank you kiwi experience. One improvement: why don’t you go to Napiers on the northern round up trip?
