Great but exhausting
I‘ve done a trip on the KiwiBus for 4 weeks and it was great! But if you have a certain time to finish it is really exhausting. You‘ll stay a very long time on the bus, together with nice or sometimes annoying people. Make sure that you are ok with stress, less clean hostels and openess to meet new people.

Great Friends Met But School Trip at Times
I brought the trip a awhile back and was explained that it would be a hop on hop off with buses running everyday. Unfortunately this was not the case so made the trip hard with timings. However it was a great experience where I made loads of friends the best driver I had by far was Jacob as he provided the commentary in the most entertaining way. At times I felt like I was on a school trip being forced to stay in places that I would have rather missed. I would have rather had afternoon stops at some of these places and had more time in Wellington considering it’s the capital! But overall it was one of the best experiences of my life where I met great friends!!

General experience
This experience has been great mainly due to the people I’ve been able to meet. I’ve really enjoyed how easy kiwi experience make your trip and it’s easy to get information or change your plans. One thing I would suggest for improvement would be to have more nights spent on the west coast of the South Island in the minimum time. It went a little too quickly and I think my whole bus would have enjoyed an extra night in Wanaka or frans Joseph. We knew we could hop off but we didn’t want to leave the bus! Generally though, I’ve had the best time.

So good! Just a few minor details
The kiwi experience was awesome! Such a great and flexible way to experience New Zealand. Dylan was most commonly the bus driver on the buses that I took and he was so amazing. His sheer enthusiasm, pride and knowledge of his country was inspiring and made the trip so much more magical. Just a couple of things that were minor, but misleading. The Kiwi Experience website stated that there’s a “garenteed bed” in each location on the tour. My friend and I thought that meant that accommodation was included in our pricing for the trip, which we quickly discovered was not true. A guaranteed bed meant that there would be a spot held for you if required. Another bit of miscommunication was that we believed that buses would do pickups daily from each location, which is true for summer periods, however during winter buses would only pass through every 3 days, which forced my friend and I to change our flights out of New Zealand to fit in our new schedule. Again just minor things that should be better explained. All in all, I’d recommend Kiwi Experience to anyone !

Awesome way to meet people
Had so much fun on the bus, loved the walks we did inbetween destinations. The parties at River Valley and Lake Mahinapua were so much fun too!
