Really happy with how simple it is. Some of our drivers were really good and made us laugh a lot! Definitely recommend this to others!

I have just finished my month long kiwi experience and loved every single minute. Despite being apprehensive at the beginning that it might be a bit 'school trip'-esque and that it was very very expensive for only transport, it turned out to be more than worth the cost and was SO MUCH MORE than just a bus. Loved meeting so many like-minded people from across the world and seeing so many hidden beauty spots around NZ that I otherwise would've missed if I opted to hire a car instead. 10/10 recommend to a friend

We loved it from day one.. We were a bit cocerned because of our age (64 and 67) but we had no problems at all! Nice respectful youngsters and our great guide/driver Arias.He was very helpful!

Had a really amazing time on the bus. Met some incredible people which I'm sure I will stay in contact with. Also did some fantastic activities which were super easy to book through the bus driver and also were usually at a discounted price. Really great for a solo traveller. Would highly recommend

I planned this trip with my best friend it was the most amazing experience we have ever had! It was easy to organise and it was a great way to see NZ!

Very convenient way to travel NZ and meet people! The guaranteed first night accomodation is perfect in high season. Awesome driver guides!

When I came to new Zealand I knew little of what there was to do and see. That's one of the good things about the kiwi experience because you hardly have to plan anything yourself, the drivers book everything for you. One negative thing is that you don't get to decide where to stop during the bus drive. Some places the bus just drove past where I would have wanted to stay and some places they stayed where I would have continued. But it was a great trip because I got to meet lots of new people who are really fun to hang out with and I got to do some amazing activities!

I really enjoyed my choice to travel NZ with Kiwi Experience. It made travelling around and choosing activities much easier and the bus driver provided us with so much information of all the places and all the activities that were on offer. So happy with the selection of the Sheepdog and the add on passes as well. Loved the structure of the tour and the possibilities of stopping at small places along the way. Thoroughly enjoyed my trip!

Just finished today and met so many great people. At first I found it a bit structured but became greatful for it as the route is really good. It also meant that you have to do very little organising yourself. The nights out were great in most places and the quieter ones were good to relax. Would have been nice to stick with one bus the whole time. Drivers were mostly good blokes as well, Jared was jokes.

I came to NZ for a nature experience, but I came away from it with a more social experience, which actually turned out to be more meaningful. I would first like to say Ben Larritt was a rad driver. He was instrumental in facilitating the friendships made on my bus. Ben had an incredible contagious energy that made getting on the bus each day exciting. He was very honest about things to do which I really appreciated and makes kiwi experience look better because it shows drivers care about the indivdual's experience. While the bus was a tad too alcohol and party focused at some stops, I really enjoyed the people I met. As a suggestion, I would enhance the self exploration aspect of travel. Rather than emphasis on going to pubs, express the importance of sled growth and adventure. Other than that thank you for an incredible experience!!
