Great way to see NZ's diversity!

I did this about 3 weeks ago and was a lot of fun !!!

Bought this to travel both islands in February and don't regret it at all so much fun and met so many cool people!

Kia ora, My name is Ahurangi, I am from Waitomo - New Zealand and I wanted to travel the South island. I am glad I choose to go with Kiwi Experience as they provided, great transport, accommodation and activities in a relaxed setting. The places we went were stunning the activities fun and the nightlife and people are memories I will never forget. This is a great way to see Aotearoa!!

We rented last minute and they were able to accommodate. A lot of upselling

A really good experience. It's actually important to book your seats lots in advance so you don't get stuck somewhere. Sometimes the drivers hear terrible music and it's often too loud so you can't hear your own music. But we met so many new people from all over the world and you travel along together most of the time that's pretty cool! :)

North land and Far North great holiday destinations.

travelled the south island, The van went well, it was a great trip

I'm doing a round the world tour and New Zealand was on my list from day 1. I booked my pass through STA travel and got a great deal for the whole kit & caboodle. At first it was difficult to get buses booked due to the number of buses being reduced from every day to 4 a week. This meant in some places I had the option of 1 night or 3 and due to my timescale I sometimes I had to miss out on things to get to the next place. The issue was resolved when extra buses were put on to reduce backlog and going down south got alot easier. The buses were usually prompt and most of the drivers were very friendly and helpful, some more than others. I made a friend in my first hostel in Auckland and we ended up travelling the whole route to Queenstown together. I loved that we would meet people and catch up to one another over and over. Queenstown was where everyone parted ways. I think the deep south needs improving, we literally spent 3 days on a bus and it was long days not seeing or doing very much. Even Milford sounds was disappointing due to the weather.

I brought my kiwi pass once I knew I was meeting a friend in Queenstown. I had travelled NZ before and had the best time of my life so was super excited to be going back to Queenstown. This time I just travelled the Deep South with Kiwi Ex and had a great time. The days travelling are quite long, but the views are amazing.
