A good way to see NZ
I enjoyed the tour. The best thing was that the tour around included walks in really cool places. Your experience depends on the driver heavily and some are more social than others. Some places feel forced like Lake Mahinapua & Puzzling World.

A Steel Horse Ride To Remember
it was just a 10/10 experience. Cowboy was the best thing to happen to Kiwi. Also the trips are really fun (but like less walks plz) 10/10 spend your life savings

Good experience
Mighty Moa Pass Overall I did enjoy my kiwi experience. It was a good was to see a large amount of the country in a short period of time. Good activities on offer. Our bus driver Jacob was very informative and organized. I did feel however that there were numerous unnecessary stops. Particularly on the South Island. It would be better if you changed the stops for the wintertime as we count not undertake any of the activities in Kaiteriteri (dreadful hostel by the way- no common area and kitchen tiny) or Westport. Lake Mahinapua was also a stop in the middle of nowhere - it was obvious that kiwi experience just had a deal with them to bring customers to drink. These three days could have been better spent elsewhere. I also thought that some of the stops during the day were unnecessary I.e the 30 breakfast stop. It should be made clear on your website that the bus stops in each place overnight. I thought you could stay on the bus and it would continue on to another stop, meaning you can skip places. Also please make it clear that I’m winter time buses don’t run everyday. The standard of accommodation was very varied. Base and Nomads hostels are of such a low standard. They are dirty. Please review your connection with them. Good places included River Valley and Franz Josef.

All ready folks!
I’m glad I travelled with kiwiexperience. But I guess how good your trip will be depends on the people on your bus and which driver you get. I think it an awesome way for solo travelers to meet new people and having fun, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a couple or two friends. I had a great time but that’s because of the land not especially because of kiwiexperience.

Amazing idea!
Superb experience. Seen loads of cool things and learned lots of new things. Only critique is one of our drivers was abit forceful on doing every activity.

Friendly with amazing views
I had the most amazing time with Kiwi Experience. I made some really good friends and saw some absolutely breathtaking views. Would recommend to everyone who wants to see New Zealand with people who know it well.
