Our Customer Reviews

Traveling with the Kiwi Experience Bus Pass was very easy and you get to meet fun people along the way. The bus drivers were very helpful organizing your activities in each city.

I bought the Tiki pass + Milford Sound 1 month prior to my departure and I would never look back!! Our bus driver Ben made the trip one to remember with his continuous upbeat attitude, honesty with activity advice and just generally the enthusiasm and passion he has for his job! It made the whole experience worthwhile and I have recommended a friend because of this exceptional opportunity.

My boyfriend and I decided to go for Kiwi Experience and I'm so glad we did! One of the main reasons it appealed to us was for the ease and organisation of the trip. We didn't have to worry about our route or how to get to the next destination, and for first time travellers this is just what you want. It also guarantees your first nights accommodation at each stop. This was another stress-free bonus and we were always happy with the hostels we stayed in. Not only was this good, but it was a fun way to travel and make friends. You're constantly meeting different people and creating memories together. This for me is a key part to travelling and experiencing new places. A huge thank you goes to our coach driver Helly though! She was efficient, enthusiastic and engaging. Her timings were always accurate and she provided detailed information of the days schedule, including stop-offs and useful tips of how much food we needed from the super-market etc. We were continually impressed by her knowledge of New Zealand and were enchanted with her story-telling skills about the Mauri culture. She was keen to help everyone and just so much fun to be on the bus with! Overall we had the trip of a lifetime. From kayaking to white water rafting to staying in a Mauri Village, this really was an adrenaline filled, incredible experience. Both the country and the people are extraordinary, and Kiwi Experience definitely helped us to get the most out of our trip.

New Zealand is a beautiful country and the Kiwi experience are passionate about showing you the best f what is on offer. Be careful about hop offs that are popular as accommodation and later buses may not be available.

Made a great experience, met incredible people and have seen amazing places.

When I was planning my trip to New Zealand it was sooo hard for me to choose the bus company I wanted to travel with...I was so worried to make the wrong decision and was struggling with the decision for month! I am sooo glad now I chose the Kiwi Experience ♥️ I had an amazing time and met lots of wonderful people! The trip was much better than I expected it to be and I will never forget that in my whole life!

You will never get tired of the views of NZs amazing landscape from the bus. Everything can be organized on the bus and the driver try their best to fulfill special wishes.

I had a great time In new zeeland met a lot of friends and see a lot of the country

I brought the Funky Chicken pass and decided to start my trip in Queenstown. I have found the travel to be easy, reliable and the communication fro KIWI E has been prompt. I am glad that I started in the South because there has always been space on the bus. Along my journey I have met people who have started in Auckland and traveled south and they have had difficulty booking onto buses. The drivers have all been great and informative as well as humorous. I would recommend KIWI E as a good way to meet new people and travel around NZ.

Overall I had a good time on the Kiwi Experience bus tour. I met awesome people, saw New Zealand’s beautiful nature and cities and got to be part of the Hobbiton world.
