Great way to travel in group

I bought my pass two monts ago and I don't have regrets. The drivers are nice, the bus is enough comfortable and the mood is funny. I like the possibility to jump off to go at my wwoofing places around the country. The only sad thing is to have to leave nice travelers, because they keep following the regular itinerary all the way! But at lest you know you will meet great people again when you hop in.

Mesmerised in paradise

The rivers flow, the mountains grow, the rainbows show - no words but WOW. As I chat up a whole lot, between every busstop, THE FUN SEEMS TO MAKE MY HEAD POP. This little rhyme describes how I feel about my trip to New Zealand. In the weeks I've traveled from north to south the bus has managed to shake me and 47 other people into what I would describe as a tribe - No one was ever left befind as the bus-journey facilitated open hearts to people from other cultures, aswell as open hearts to all the great experiences we were dropped into day-in and day-out. Thank you KIWIEXPERIENCE for your service, and thank you GingerWilly for your awesome busdriving.

Good experience

I bought this in March last year and arrived in January. I chose this company because of their hop-on, hop-off flexibility and my 4 month period being here. I found it was not as flexible as advertised, leaving me moving along sooner than I would've preferred and stressing over staying extra nights without a hostel. Overall, it gets to great locations and the bus drivers are good but should be noted how long days on the bus are, as well as the limited flexibility during busy season.

Best way toget to know NZ in short period of time!

We decided to take the kiwi bus because we only had 6 weeks for both islands of New Zealand. It's probably the best and easiest way to see most of the places in a short period of time. Especially when you are traveling on your own you get to know lots of people from different countries. You are never alone! Another good thing is that you have the opportunity to do some beautiful walks durings breaks.

Great!

I did kiwi experience for a month and met so many amazing people it was great. You bond so quickly as you're on the bus with them all the time, and have such fantastic experiences shared

The best experience of my life!

I booked this trip through Kilroy and I'm so happy they recommended Kiwi experience for me! I saw and experienced so much in 19 days that it's hard to even remember everything - and that's a positive problem! All the bookings were smooth to make, reasonable priced and totally worth of the money. Listening to our driver's amazing playlist while watching the scenery from bus window made even the long drives easy. I think everyone should do this even once in the lifetime. I would do it again.

It's the people that make it great

New Zealand is one of those places you just can't get enough of and Kiwi Experience will take you to some of the most incredible places you've ever been. But it is the people on the bus that will make you remenber this trip for the rest of your life. From the very first day until the very last I met some of the best people I will ever meet. My only issues with the trip was that after a while it almost felt like a school trip with people forming into different groups instead of being just one big happy group (but I guess that's natural). My other issue is that almost all of the recommended hostels were dry hostels which make drinking very expensive.

Easiest way to travel!

Traveling with the kiwi bus is a great experience and really easy as well since you book everything with your driver on the go.
