Loved it!
Most amazing experience I have ever had I made life long friends, saw and did things that dreams are made of. Highly recommend. I had the Zephyr bus pass and Milford Sound add on.

Best 2 months in NZ!
I travelled for 2 months with the kiwiexperience and had an amazing time; it made travelling NZ really easy, as you could book hostels and activities through them. I would definitely recommend it for a first time solo traveller as it can be extremely daunting going it alone to start with, but sometimes the specific schedule each day that you had to followe made it hard if you wanted more freedom and flexibility. Luckily I didn’t travel during peak time, so it wasn’t too hard to adjust my plans if I wanted to somewhere longer or do different activities etc. However I heard from others that when travelling in the summer months it’s best to plan in advance as you can get put on standby, which isn’t the best if you want to be more flexible with your travel plans. Overall I found it a great way to make friends along the way and it made my experience in NZ a really enjoyable one.

Best time ever
Had the most incredible time in the world. I was a solo traveller, never been away from my mum for more than a week at a time. I was so nervous about going alone, I was convinced I wasn’t going to make friends and be alone for the whole 2 months. It’s so easy to make friends on the bus, everyone is in the same situation and everyone is genuinely so lovely. I made the best friends on this trip, saw the most incredible things and had the most insane adventures. I recommend this to everyone... just do it!

Perfect for solo backpackers
I’m really glad I did the kiwi experience to travel round the north and south islands. It’s a really social bus so it was perfect as a solo backpacker, you can’t help but make friends and everyone was so genuine and nice. The bus drivers are always on hand to give advice and help you get the best route so don’t worry about having too much pre organised. There’s a few things that are more restrictive/annoying (eg forced fancy dress party and more expensive hostels in some spots) but these aren’t inconvenient enough to put you off. Overall I had a great experience and miss it already! (PS if you have Gina as your bus driver then you’ve hit the jackpot)

Best experience of my life
I bought the whole kit and caboodle not knowing what to expect. I got on the bus and the adventure began, all fellow travellers were so friendly and became a kiwi bus family. Bus drivers were more than helpful they helped me organise my itinerary as I had a lot of time to spend. Drivers also made booking activities and accommodation very easy and quick. Also the office were very fast to respond and helpful when I wanted to change my itinerary and stay in a place longer than expected. Bus was so much party every night and activities everyday would definitely do it again. So much fun all day everyday
