Amazing adventure!
I did the South and sound tour. Although I only allowed myself the minimum time due to an imminent flight. The tour was well set out and I was able to do everything that I went out to NZ to do. Although the kiwi experience system was confusing at first, a few days on the coach and it becomes second nature. This tour is highly recommended, it is a hassle free way of exploring one of the most beautiful countries in the world while making a great group of friends, i.e. the perfect travelling experience.

Best time of my life
This was an experience like other , I never expected to see or do so much let alone make a family of friends I met from the kiwi bus ! Drivers were brilliant

Amazing experience
Kiwi experience is a nice way to explore NZ. The only negative thing I would have to say is that you spend a lot of time on the coach. More than necessary for the hostels to get ready. Be prepared for long times on a coach, with very limited WiFi. Besides that, it is a great social adventure and I would recommend it. I had a great time!

Great way to explore New Zealand for young people
Experience was amazing way to explore. It’s great because the best places in New Zealand already been picked out. The organisation from the kiwi experience takes the stress away you having to organise it yourself. This means that you can relax a bit more knowing where you’re going next. I met amazing people and it is a great way to meet friends whether you are travelling alone or with others. The drivers were so helpful and kind and always happy to help you with your plans. The one disappointing part of experience was that the buses got full very often and I think that Kiwi experience need to find a way to ensure that people can have more flexibility with their plans. If you are looking for true flexibility (ie. change your plans daily) I would not recommend the kiwi experience. I think that it is also wrong that kiwi experience advertise so much flexibility with their passes when I and most people I met would agree that you had to plan most of your trip to the exact date to ensure you got a space on the bus. This was disappointing considering how much you pay for the pass.

Better than I expected!
My trip with Kiwi Experience was absolutly amazing! I had just 17 days to go arround the Southisland and for me it was the best decision to do that with these guys. I saw everything i wanted to see. On my second stop I met some really really good girls and we stayed together the whole trip. We had so much fun and often it was like a trip with a school class. Maybe it's not really the big adventure, like you have when you just travel by yoursel with a campervan or something. But it's a way easier and more relaxing and for me it was more enjoyabel. I think how it is in the end depends on the people you meet in the bus or on your way, but in general I would say that, if you travel alone and don't have that much time: take the green bus!

Sweet as!
I bought the South and Sound bus trip on a whim and couldn't be happier. The drivers were crackers and well informative, it was easy to meet people as a solo traveller and for someone who is far from organised it was nice to have someone there to do the booking and accommodation for you. Such a good time, would recommend and now I'm excited to the North Island! Cheers Kiwi.

Best choice!
I started my trip in the middle of november for six weeks with the funky chicken buspass. I traveled through the north and South Island. The staff, specially the drivers (!), were so frendly and helpful (and crazy as well, haha :P ) . I did my travel by myself, but it was so easy to meet new and nice people! All in all I did enjoy my trip with kiwi experience and recommend it to all young people!! Thanks for this great time!!

Can’t recommend it enough!
My time on the Kiwi bus was absolutely amazing. Its without a doubt the best way to explore the country - the guides are brilliant, you visit the best spots in NZ, receive discounts on hostels, activities, nights out etc and most importantly you meet amazing people along the way. Every day is different and you’re never bored! I can’t wait to go back already. Thank you Kiwi Experience!

A good way to see the most anticipated spots!
The Kiwi bus is going to bring you to all the spots, so be prepared for hoping off the bus very often! We genuinely enjoyed the bus rides but sometimes it got up to a very long day in the bus due to all the stops.
