I started one month ago and it's so crazy what all I can do it

I booked the Kiwi Experience through STA Travel in the UK and I have met friends for life. The bus was great to meet people and to try new things and we sipped off places I would have never known to go. My only criticism is that in some parts the toe was verging on 'school trip' - lots of the hikes and daytime activities should have been optional and sometimes you seemed forced into doing some things i.e. Puzzling World at Wanaka. I would have rather we got some time to spend in Wanaka during the day to grab some breakfast and chill by the lake as we didn't arrive there til the night before. Some of the start times were ridiculous and unnecessary as well, we could have got places in half the time without getting up at the crack of dawn had we not made a million stops during the day. These are my only criticisms though, because all in all I had an amazing trip and I think the Kiwi Experience is the best way to see the whole of New Zealand.

Eat, sleep and play as long as you can in New Zealand. Endless laughing, beautiful scenery and the adventure capital of the world. Travelled alone and met the best people and drivers

It's the only one and special to meet so many new people and see that much on the same time.

I chose Kiwi as I was planning on travelling solo. The bus seemed like the best way to get round NZ without having to plan and drive yourself everywhere. You get to meet loads of people and stay in all the 'must see' spots in NZ. It was easy enough to plan an itinerary and having someone book all your activities and accommodation was also really useful. I would use Kiwi again and I would definitely recommend it if you have limited time in the country.

Nothing like exploring a country with a bus full of people who become your next best friends.. all the best spots, all the best excursions, and all the best memories!

Liked it!!! Cool easy trip along new zealand. Good choise for people who traveling on there one.

I'm now on the kiwi bus for 3 months. So far I haven't got the great experience what somelse may have. The people on the bus are manly British or German and they always make groups so it's hard to make friends and kiwi doesn't do anything so far what I experienced to help with that.

I decided to go with kiwi experience on a last minute whim and I do not regret my decision at all! Met so many amazing people, saw beautiful scenery at every turn and had some really awesome bus drivers! Will definitely recommend to any travelling buddies going in the future!

Being able to drink heavily and not having to worry about driving the next day and still see all of NZ was a dream come true.
