Best thing I’ve ever done!

Kiwi Experience blew all my expectations out the water, I had the most incredible 5 weeks with them! Saw so many places experienced so many amazing things and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. Pickles and Dylan were ace drivers.

A very enjoyable experience!

MY boyfriend and I had a great 5 week trip of the North and South Islands. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful stops along the way and the activities that our bus drivers prebooked for us.

So so so much fun!

Kiwi takes you to some awesome places and the drivers have good local knowledge of the history and fun things to do in the area! You meet some lovely people along the way and it's never a dull moment! Great way to travel around New Zealand - especially as a solo traveller.

Perfect for firsttimealonetravellers

I travelled for almost 2 months with Kiwi Experience, it is a very cheap way to get through New Zealand and covers the main attractions/ stops, I wanted to do. Booking activities through Kiwi is very well made and you don't have to worry about planning your trip too much beforehand. Additionnaly it is veryvery easy to get in touch with people!:)

Great Time

Kiwi Experience was such a fun organised time. It's the perfect choice for someone travelling alone or if you just wanted your travelling to go smooth and easy. They make accomodation and booking activities so easy whilst taking you to remote awesome local places. Also, very easy to make friends and be social.

Best Month of My Life

I easily had the best month of my life, made friends for life and saw the most incredible things... I would recommend Kiwi Experience to anyone, New Zealand is an incredible place and Kiwi Experience is definitely the best way to do it. Also, Guy was the best professional backpacker ever and made this trip for all of us

Best month ever

Had such a great month on kiwi experience! All the activities that you can book on the bus are amazing! Some are quite expensive if you're on a budget but you always get to the free stuff mentioned on the kiwi ex app. The drivers are lovely, we were lucky to get a great driver on our first stop - guy, who made everyone on the bus feel welcomed and made us one big family. It really depends who your driver is and the people on your bus, some of our buses were a bit tame but I've heard other people have had mental buses. The guaranteed first nights accommodation is useful and means you don't have to book ahead, in most of the stops if you want to stay longer normally the hostels have room but check with your driver to see what he recommends. We had to book an apartment in wanaka because there was no room in the hostels. It's easy to stay extra nights in places, you just call up the kiwi ex office, in most places you can do it the night before and get a guaranteed spot on the next bus but just be aware that some buses might have waiting lists which may not clear up. Overall I had an amazing month and met the best people on the way and definetly made friends for life!
