Stress-free way to travel NZ
Kiwi Experience makes travelling NZ so easy! Transportation straight to your hostel everyday, guaranteed beds at each hostel and a whole array of activities on offer. The bus drivers (especially Nancy) were fab! Big shout out to Nancy for his geographical explanations! From your front seat faves!

New Zealand Travels
I bought my ticket shortly after arriving in New Zealand as i wanted to explore the country with young travellers such as myself. Out of this I had the experience of a lifetime and made the most amazing friends. My recommendation, stay as long as you can in Queenstown. Theres so much to do and see and it will be an amazing end to your tours!

Fantabulous Experience with KIWI Experience
I bought KIWI pass 6 months before my trip to NZ and I am really grateful to KIWI Experience to made our trip awesome. Their staff is very friendly and helpful. They always try to satisfy their customer and make their trip unforgettable by what they can best for them. I will highly recommend to all of you who are going through with my review that if anyone is planning a trip to NZ, must contact to KIWI EXPERIENCE once. Love you KIWI EX.

Kiwi Bus Feb/March 2018
I had two great bus drivers during my experience and they were always really helpful and made the longer journeys fun by entertaining us with fun facts. The people I met on the bus have to be my highlight. I met light minded people from all over the world who shared a love for travel and new experiences. I was worried (at the age of 28) that I was going to be the oldest on the bus, but I wasn't (yay!) and there was a real range of ages and everyone got on well. I would recommend the Kiwi Experience to anyone wanting to see the whole of New Zealand in a short amount of time. I did it in 18 days and I felt the pace was just right.

The highlight of my life so far!
Went travelling as a solo female and was originally a bit apprehensive about booking onto the Kiwi bus. How wrong was I!!! I was afraid the tour was going to be filled with 18/19 year olds and be more of a booze cruise type atmosphere! Instead I found it to be filled with plenty of people my age - such a mix of nationalities. Everyone was super laid back - I made friends for life on this trip :) I was originally worried about the lack of flexibility - however the fantastic drivers make it so apparent that they are there to help us. You can do exactly as you like! Stay as long as you like, wherever you want! However I totally recommend staying with the group because its so much fun! The bus journeys were short enough and really entertaining. Plenty of stops and stunning scenery. The locations we stopped at were out of this world. I have to say the Tamaki Maori village was the highlight of my trip without a doubt! The only let down was the stay in kaiteri ( you could do with getting a better hostel there - staff were outrageously rude and checkin was a nightmare! they dont deserve our money!) Overall, Kiwi takes the hassle out of travelling around NZ - you will have all the flexibility in the world, make incredible friends and get great discounts on all of the activities. Already considering doing it again!

Great value! I loved my trip!
I had the greatest time with Kiwi Experience. I saw so much of NZ in less than a month and I met so many great people along the way. The Kiwi bus is great for connecting with other travellers and for relaxing in between all the exciting things you get to do and see. The drivers and the people in the office were always very helpful and nice and they really helped me plan my trip. It's great that you get to travel on your own time and choose to spend as much time in a place as you like. I woulf definitely recommend it!

Worth it!
Really great way to meet people amd a really easy way to see the country. The planning can be really easy and flexible (although keep in mind that the busses might be full from time to time so allow a few spare days in your planning compared to your bus pass). It is more expensive than traditional bus companies but definetly worth the extra bucks for A LOT of convenience. Also in the bigger cities it might be worth checking out other hostels than where the Kiwi bus normally goes since the Base and Nomads hostels can be quite expensive for a rather low quality hostel. Luckily the Kiwi bus will drop you off at other hostels if requested!

Very niiice
Kiwi Experience was a nice experience with many other youngsters. We sure diddly did have a nice trip (my friends and I). The issues with getting a seat on some of the busses sure did get on my good old nervous nerves, but we darn sure got all the way around New Zealand on this godforsaken bus. Thank y'all
