All about the people!

Had this booked a year ago and finally got aroubd to doing it. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect, but I met some awesome people including the drivers who were sweet as! THE best experiences had me doing things I never thought I'd be doing for instance a bungy despite being scared of heights over water and that feeling of falling, however, I proved that this trip really was a once in a lifetime trip by doing so. Things can be a little pricey but you always get good advice and well once you get to Queenstown you won't care what you're spending! Such a sick time on Kiwi!

Perfect way of traveling and meeting people

I am so happy that I finally booked my trip with kiwiexperience! I have seen places and done things that I would never thought I would do! You get to see this amazing places and meet people who are like you, that loves traveling. And the drivers take you to their favourite places and places you wouldn't go to if you are traveling by yourself! All creed to you!

Kia Ora - great experience!

Best experience of my life so far! I went with my twin sister and we travelled both the North and South island. NZ is stunning and if you're an adrenalin junkie there's a lot for you to experience!

Great time

Bought my ticket for half price and it was a great deal! Super easy to meet people as you can somewhat easily change your travel plans to stay with the friends you meet. Drivers were very informative about the towns and activities that we did which was awesome! Anything that isnt a kiwi experience activity can be hard to get too if it is not directly in the town.

Fantastic Time

Travelling on the Super Funky Pass. Had the most amazing time travelling around NZ with Kiwi, we met some incredible people on the bus who will become friends for life, the drivers were amazing and we done so many amazing activities. I was worried about the buses being 'a party bus' as that I knew I'd be more interested in the activities than drinking every night, I found that there were some people that liked to drink a bit more and others that didn't so it was a great mix of people that allowed you to drink if you wanted and others that didn't so that was a pleasant surprise and put my worries to bed. The fact that the drivers book your accommodation and activities as you're on the bus makes life so easy and hassle free, you don't have to worry about anything until the clipboard that comes around. Also the buses stop off at places while you're travelling from place to place so you can take photos and things so thats good as you don't miss anything. Its a hassle free easy and brilliant way to see NZ. Overall an amazing month travelling and I'd highly recommend it!

An amazing way to travel!

I went around the South Island with the kiwi experience, and couldn't be happier! It's was so easy and was way beyond my expectations. They take you to amazing places like wanaka and Queenstown and you meet so many people! Couldn't be happier!

good experience

The kiwi experience is great for never having to worry about accomodation or bookings ect as they sort it all for you. Kiwi exp is an extremely reliable service which is awesome. Personally i found the structure too rigid for my prefered style of travel but i can see that its absolutely fantastic for people who like to sit back and relax! Some drivers are alot more personable than others, i had a couple who seemed to loathe their jobs but equally some who were just awesome and oozed positive energy! I also think that the kiwi exp could mention more great things for people to do if they get off at a place for longer, for example roys peak walk in wanaka. Its so beautiful but hardly anyone even knew it was there, just stayed an evening in wanaka and didnt think much of it. It would just help people to have an even greater experience of nz.

A solo travellers best friend!

Just finished an awesome month on the Kiwi bus travelling both islands. This was my first solo travel trip and the bus was the perfect way to make new friends and enjoy the amazing hot spots NZ has to offer. The choice of destinations is perfect - from NZ must see's to unique experiences. The drivers make the experience all the more fun!

Awesome time!

Spent a month on the kiwi bus and it's been one of the best experiences in over 6 months of travelling. Met some amazing people and above all I was able to see so much of New Zealand, even if I only was there for a month. Highly recommended to fellow travelers, who want to see as much as they can!
