Our Customer Reviews

I spent a month on several different kiwi buses and enjoyed every single moment, cannot fault the drivers, information, places visited, the flexibility of drop offs was also a plus if you didn't want to stay at the accomadation they took you to. The people I met were amazing and will remain friends for life, the only negative would be the bus schedule in the spring however this did not effect my trip too much and would do it all again with the same bus schedule :)

I booked it out of the blue a few weeks ago and so happy I did, great way to get started on my travels and meet new fun people!

I decided spontaneously to buy this Southandsound Buspass and I am really happy about it. It was a comfort way of travelling because I didnt have to book an accommodation or busticket. As well it is a fantastic opportunity to get to know new people. Unfortunately it was sometimes a little bit too much for one day. So i would definitely recommend staying 2 nights in abel tasman nationalpark! I camnot complain about the busdrivers. They were really helpful and funny. Especially Robert was really kind and gave us good information! Thanks Kiwi Experience for the real kiwi experience.

At first I regretted that I bought that ticket because some people told me it would be a party bus (and I wasn't in the mood for big parties at all). But from the first night up to the last night of my Kiwi Experience Tour I belonged to the real party animals and I loved it! It was so easy to meet new people and to share experiences together. And after Indonesia and Australia (where I had to sort out everything by myself) it was very relaxing that Kiwi Experience had sorted everything out already. The only thing I had to do was to sign my name on the paper when I was interested. The busdrivers were very chilled and easygoing. The only places I wasn't excited about were Kaiteriteri and Westport. There was nothing really to do, but luckily we had our Scrumpys so we still had fun. In short: awesome experience!

i brought tje ticket not knowing what to expect and i was delihted and Amazed . we went to all the best spots and even if yoir short on time like my self you can do and aee everything . it was a great exerince and would highly recomend it to others Thank you Kiwi Experince and all the drivers

If you didn’t want to be bothered by road map, searching for hours things to see, Kiwi experience is here ! I bought the Whole Kit for two months and everything was great. No late departure, always on time and great ambiance !

New Zealand is a beautiful country and traveling with the kiwi bus was the best choice to see everything New Zealand has to offer!

Amazing trip!!! Kiwi Experience made seeing New Zealand so streamlined, clear and easy.

I purchased this ticket a week prior to arriving in New Zealand and when I arrived I made friends with many other travelers on the bus. My driver was so fun and very helpful. He stopped at all of the cool spots for sight seeing. He would even take us on really awesome hikes. There are many things I like about the Kiwi bus including having a room reserved at the hostel you stay at (although the prices for the accommodation is not included in the bus pass) and you can choose to stay at another place if you'd like. Its very flexible as well, making it an easy way to customize your travels. One downside is that you can't travel the same spot again until you've finished the whole loop on your pass, which could cause problems for some. Once you finish the loop you have one year of travel with the pass, BUT you are not guaranteed a spot on the bus if it happens to be full with people who are doing the loop for the first time (they have priority), so take this into consideration if you plan to do the loop again later on. Just contact them ahead of time to ensure they have a spot for you. Overall, it was such an amazing experience! I'm already planning my trip to go back!

A mostly incredible experience. A real break from the everyday.
