Best bus trip
Kiwi experience definitely lived up to expectation... the drivers were great and knowledgable. We were taken to some great places and we met some great people.

Party Bus
I was excited to get on this bus and see New Zealand but quickly found out that it was just a party bus for people to drink their way through New Zealand.

Loved Kiwi Experience
I traveled with Kiwi Experience through New Zealand from Auckland to Christchurch (sheep dog pass). Kiwi Experience ensured that everything was arranged so that we could have the best experience possible. Accommodations and activities where booked by the bus guide while we did the most beautiful walks on our way to the next city. If I would have driven myself or gone with normal busses I wouldn't have seen all the beautiful places in between the cities. I would recommend Kiwi Experience to everyone!

Happy Days
This is the second time I have used kiwi experience, and it didn’t disappoint. The bus is a great way to experience New Zealand while meeting some great people, some drivers are better than others, but there is always a good laugh! And the experiences and people I’ve met this time has made my second trip over to New Zealand one I will never forget!

Loved it!
This was the second trip for me on the KE bus (I initially completed a route 6 years ago in the summer of a working holiday visa) and when my boyfriend suggested going to NZ for our summer (your winter) holiday this year I was a bit hesitant; I wasn't sure I wanted to do it again, but eventually he talked me into it. And I'm SO glad that he did. I hadn't expected NZ to be even more beautiful in the winter than in the summer and I'm so glad we chose KE because using the Sheepdog pass took us to all the highlights and the hop-on hop-off meant that we could fill our 5 week holiday easily by spending longer in our favourite places. There is honestly nothing I would have changed about the trip, and like I say this was the second time round for me, and I still loved it. Simon (our first driver) was also hysterical and actually really informative and we loved bumping into him along our route again later. All in all, if you're considering it, just do it. I can't imagine regretting it for one second.

Trip of a Lifetime
When I booked Kiwi Experience I thought it was similar to greyhound - boy was I wrong! I had an absolutely amazing month being looked after by our drivers and meetings amazing new people. I was worried that being 27 would put me out of the range to have fun with the group but I really loved every minute and never felt pressured to buy trips etc.

Unforgettable Trip!
I went on the Kiwi Experience in late July, and I completed the Funky Chicken travel package. I had THE BEST bus driver, Cowboy. His commentary and thoughtfulness really made my trip ten times better. I got to explore amazing scenery, meet so many great people, and do the most insane excurisions. This trip was like a dream, and I wish I could do it all over again.

A great way to see NZ
Don't regret buying a bus pass - it was a great way to travel around NZ. Should've downloaded the app so that I had a better idea about what was happening each day but they offer great experiences but they are on the expensive side. Definitely recommending saving up a fair bit of money before going on the bus so you don't miss out on some amazing experiences.
