I did the Kiwi Experience Jan/Feb 2017 and have to say it was the best decision ever! It was peak time for backpackers in NZ so it was busy and we sturggled with getting on some buses but it all worked out in the end. Great for socialising and meeting loads of different people Takes you to places you would never have thought of going such as River Valley where I ended up having one of the best nights of the trip! Would recommend this to anyone thinking of backpacking NZ :D

It was awesome!! Best bustrip I could have ever chosen to travel with

The trip with the Buzzy Bee Pass was great,but the best was the Deep South! Milford. Sound was very good, but the bottom bus with Dominic from Ivercargill to Dunedin the very best!!!!

One of the best things I've ever done. Organised amazingly well, drivers were great help and good fun. Each stop offered something unique and interesting. Met some amazing people along the way and mates for life. Can't recommend enough, it was just pretty unreal.

Great way to get around New Zealand - Each driver has their own personality but that is what makes the experience unique. Big thank you especially to Dave, Mike ( who has now left the company after many years of stellar service) and Luke. This was one of the best things I have ever done. Stunning scenery everywhere you go, excellent activities you can do on a daily basis and you are going to meet some amazing people who you will share memories with that will last a lifetime and you will stay in contact with them. Thank you Kiwi Experience

I had certain areas and cities on my "New Zealand Bucket List" and luckily got recommended a bus-pass rather than 'normal buses' taking you from point A to B. This was a great way to meet people (and travel with them for some days) get fun facts on the way, go to places ordinary route buses wouldn't take you and the driver was awesome: A driver, but also a guide.

For the options of traveling around new zealand, Kiwi Experience was the cheapest and safest way to get around (compared to buying my own vehicle or hitchhiking). Local buses aren't very useful and very pricey in comparison and Kiwi Experience gave me a ride to major locations and gave me the opportunity to do more traveling around these areas on my own. As for the group, I've met some of my best friends through Kiwi Experience. Some of which I plan on meeting up with in the future. It's great to have new friends all over the world. It definitely has a more rowdy atmosphere, so if that's not your traveling scene, this probably isn't for you, but it very much gives you the ability to create your own adventure!

Incredible experience, Luke (aka Honey Badger) is the best bus driver ever! Will never forget that time!

My partner and I went on the trip together. The trip was so much fun and we had some amazing times and met some amazing people, however in my opinion the kiwi bus is more suited to single people rather then couples. Having said this we still had an amazing time. The fact that all the activities are there for you to do or not do is amazing. We had no about half of them and they really made our trip.

I just completed my month in New Zealand with Kiwi Bus Experience and it was honestly one of the best times of my life. I met some awesome people, did some amazing activities and saw incredible scenery.
