Kiwi was the easiest trip planning I've ever done in my life. All we did was book the bus and didn't worry about anything and was super easy as hostels and activities were just booked on the fly by our driver. Was amazing social environment and all around 10/10 time. Both drivers I had were great at making sure everyone had an awesome time and also taught us lots. Would recommend to anyone fun

I love how the bus driver takes care of everything for you. You don't have to worry about accommodations or bookings for activities. You just sign up on the bus and it's all taken care of for you.

Always wanted to go to New Zealand and so glad I did it with Kiwi! Met unbelievable people and saw views and places I'll be telling people about for years. All the activities were amazing and the drivers were so helpful with all the knowledge they give you. Would recommend to anyone that goes to New Zealand to go with Kiwi 100%!

An extremely well organised, once in a lifetime trip! Our driver Emily became part of the family and was an incredibly knowledgable and friendly guide with AWESOME MUSIC TASTE. I would highly recommend Kiwi Experience for anyone thinking of travelling NZ; it is great value, the days/amount of driving is very well spaced out and broken up with beautiful walks and fun activities making the pace of the trip really enjoyable - even if you are doing the minimum time like the majority of the people on my bus - and the overnight stays are amazing. Highly rate Hot Water Beach, Tamaki, Franz Joseph and Queenstown so DON'T MISS OUT. Only thing is activities can be quite expensive especially in the north island, but are super easy to book along with accommodation through clipboards which are handed out on the bus. Convenient, comfortable, beautiful views, awesome people and so many laughs and memories. Especially as a young, solo traveller I don't think there is a better way to explore NZ first time than Kiwi Experience.

I made an insane deal and booked both must do passes. Dont regret it one bit! You can totally do it on your own and you really dont have to take care about a lot, your busdriver provides all the information about the places you'll go and what to do.

Travelling around on the bus with so many young, like-minded individuals helps to really create an exciting and communal atmosphere, making close friends as you travel round an awesome country and forming memories together. It sounds clichéd, but seeing the best that New Zealand has to offer with people similar to yourself makes it just that much better!

We (Zoe&Maayke) went on the Kiwi bus in August. We had the coolest busdriver ever aka Helly and we met many awesome people and we are very happy that we did the Kiwi experience!

Only downside was Bazils hostel at Westport had no hot water at night in the middle of winter!

The kiwi bus is something from another world, so many friendly people and so many memories that I will not forget. You can do anything through the bus from skydive to rafting down white water rapids. The bus is so organised, and so much fun you will never forget it. The bus drivers are absolute legends and will help you sort any problems no big or small. If you are thinking about travelling round New Zealand, the only way to do it is with Kiwi Experience.

Travelling alone for the first time, best decision ever!!
