Great experience

My son joined bus tour 17 years ago around New Zealand for several weeks so when I had the chance this year to visit New Zealand I thought I would follow in his footsteps . My school friend and I are over sixty so we were out of our comfort zone but Murray our driver and the rest of the backpackers were really great company we had a ball travelling round the South Island for nearly two weeks- wish it had been longer

A bus ride to remember!!

Never think I said wow so many times during a months. New Zealand was an absolutely mind blowing country and because of the kiwi experience I didn't only get to see this beautiful country, I also made friends and memories for life. If you ever want to experience New Zealand, I know the best way to do it- with The Kiwi Experience! Thank you!!!!

The best way to see New Zealand for the first time

I had the most amazing time doing the Kiwi experience; I did things I never thought I would - Bungy Jump, experienced one of the BEST things I have ever done - Skydiving over Lake Taupo and met people who had a real influence on my life, making the entire month absolutely unforgettable. Highlights included the above, white water rafting (and more notably the roast dinner...) at River Valley, Tamaki Maori Village which allowed me to gain an understanding of the culture I never would have got anywhere else (and ofcourse the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD), caving in Waitomo, getting cut off a cliff over a canyon on a swing and hiking through the Fox Glacier in Franz Josef. I couldn't be more grateful to have been able to do this once in a lifetime trip.

Amazing way to get an overview if NZ

I bought ‘The whole kit and caboodle’ and it was worth it! New Zealand is auch an amazing country, and to be able to see all of it in +30 Days was so convinient since I only had limited time. The bus drivers try their best to make you feel comfortable and have a great stay in New Zealand. It was a truly amazing experience :)

A trip I'm glad I did

I was first recommended to go to New Zealand by my friends. NZ was to me far away and just a location where the Lord of the Rings was filmed, so had not much thought about until I was studying in Australia and therefor had the opportunity to just catch a flight to NZ. I didn't have much expectations, but sure ended it with a lot of experiences I never thought I would have. NZ was a beautiful country and I'm glad I skipped most of the parties (where the driver was most drunk I have to add) to instead take time to admire the nature and do exciting activities. I was traveling alone, but found it really easy to find new friends on the bus, which made me forget that I was alone. Thanks Kiwi Experience for such an experience!

My kiwi experience

Overall I had a great experience on the kiwi bus and thoroughly enjoyed each of the drivers I had. Everyone was filled with such knowledge about New Zealand and made it helpful to plan which activities suited my interests. The people were great and it was the perfect way to see New Zealand as a solo traveler.

An adventure I'll never forget

Kiwi Experience is one of the best things I have ever done, hands down. The places I've visited, the friends I've made and the activities I've done will stay with me for the rest of my life. The organisation of the whole thing enables you to just have fun and not worry about a thing. I will recommend Kiwi Experience to anyone wanted to travel New Zealand.

Lovely way to see the whole of New Zealand!

Very happy that I purchased this tour as was a last minute decision to go travelling! New Zealand did not disappoint and wouldn't of been able to see both the islands properly if I hadn't of been on this tour!
