Our Customer Reviews

Initially nervous about the whole experience on my own but I loved every second of it, it was a lot of long driving bit some of the sights were simply stunning that the drivers were able to show us

The accommodation Kiwi offers is varied and we stayed in places we probably wouldn't have if we had travelled NZ independently. We travelled on a number of different buses and it was easy to make friends on all of them. The discounts on activities are a bonus and the fact your driver books everything for you makes life so much easier so you can just enjoy your holiday, thanks Kiwi for making our NZ experience easy going and good fun!

So happy that I decided to travel New Zealand with the Kiwi experience. Got to see and do so much more than I thought. Not only that I got to meet some amazing people.

Amazing experience, amazing people, amazing driver

I did the Sheepdog experience for just over two weeks early January. I had the best experience, New Zealand is an absolutely stunning county, I made such good friends on the bus, but what made the whole experience was our bus driver Happy (James). Happy was not only very social and fun, he was also very knowledgable. Whilst driving he always told us local stories, and general information about the area we were in, including history. I would give happy a million stars out of five.

The Kiwi Experience totally exceeded my expectations. It was a brilliant opportunity to see a huge amount of the beautiful country in limited time. As a 27 year old that had never stayed in a hostel, I was nervous about what I might have to endure, but the people I met and places I stayed made my trip the most unforgettable and brilliant experience, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The experience allows you to forget all of your worries and totally chill out - everything is sorted for you, which gave me a truly carefree three weeks. Our driver Happy (James) was pretty epic - informative, fun, helpful and hilarious - he is an asset to the company. I can't thank him enough for making the trip what it was.
