Excellent way to experience New Zealand
I did the Southern roundup trip along the West Coast. Kiwi is an excellent way to see the best NZ sights and also to meet a lot of likeminded travellers from lots of different backgrounds and ages. I would recommend not followimg the minimum time for each route but to stay longer in certain places such as Abel Tasman and Wanaka. it is also nice to rent a car with a few others and drive outside then standard route, this is particularly easy in Queenstown as you can go further south.

Best decision ever!
To go with Kiwi experience was the best decision. I made so many friends and memories. Haven't laughed so much in a while. Absolut epic trip. Special thanks to our driver guides Pinky and Martin who made this trip so special.

Great time with Kiwi!
I travelled the north by myself and choose to travel the south with Kiwi. Didn't regret my choise! I've met so many more people, all with the same backpacker style. Not the mega party bus as everyone told me! Busdrivers are so nice and help you with everything you need! You stop at a lot of places that you won't see traveling with the public transport.

Fab way to see New Zealand
Had the best time on Kiwi Experience - we did the Sheepdog pass in 3 weeks, and had so much fun! Met loads of great people and did tons of fab activities that we wouldn't have had the chance to do anywhere else. Would 100% recommend Kiwi to anyone thinking of going to New Zealand!

Wicked people, sweeet as memories
The Kiwi Bus was an awesome to see loads of New Zealand in a limited amount of time. The people you meet on the bus, and the drivers, really make the whole experience amazing especially for solo travellers. Would recommend to anyone.

Incredible!
I bought the funky chicken pass, had an amazing trip and met so many people. It was the best way to travel New Zealand solo for sure. The bus drivers were all fantastic and it was completely stress free!

A good way to travel New Zealand
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in New Zealand and and we were able to do all the amazing activities we wanted to. The organisation and communication from of some of the kiwi drivers wasn't great and we often found we were given vital pieces of information at the last minute leaving us no option but to book things through kiwi experience. There are some additional costs which again were not communicated to us such as the cost for the interisland ferry and some costs for meals at hostels where there are no kitchen facilities. We found some of the drivers very sarcastic and quite often irritating to listen to over the microphone. Be aware that on the journeys there are multiple stops at supermarkets/cafes/tourist spots so the journies tend to take a lot longer than you think! Kiwi experience is however a great way to meet people and a fun way to travel!
