Nature bomb after nature bomb
When first buying the kiwi experience pass I was quite sceptical. I initially bought it against my friends suggestions, they suggested to go with companies like stray because I am 26 and they thought it would be a more enjoyable experience with a smaller crowd. But hey when you're a backpacker your bank account speaks louder than most and kiwi was on sale so why not I said. I started the tour in true kiwi experience style hung over from the Auckland bar crawl. I am the type of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone so I quickly set to work talking to everyone. We had the makings for a great trip and a bonus was that not everyone was 18 like I'd been told they would be! Hurrah! Helly was our driver guide, helly like a helicopter and she set the pace for tour telling my very hungover self about all these amazing things New Zealand had to offer. Throughout the trip she continued to show her passion for her country that you can't help but get excited for all the great things you are about to see. As we drove down the country she wouldn't just tell us about the place but always encorporated extras that she had learnt or read or even done herself. Including introducing us to her favourite however many Food establishments. She's an amazing asset to your team and the whole group thought so. She's not only been a driver guide but someone I can now call a friend. Thanks Kiwi for an amazing trip around New Zealand and thanks helly for making it great!

Beautiful!
Kiwi Experience was an easy way to explore New Zealand with lots of photo stops on the way. The activities were good and reasonably priced and the accommodation was nice.

The best trip I have ever had
Before we discussed about the van I would say the services are the best so far. Whenever I called and asked questions they would explained and helped me. That was helpful that could make me feel that NZ actually is not that difficult to explore. Definitely appreciated the whole team that support and help me. Thanks team. The van itself performed pretty well, we almost did not have comments or complaints about it, the car was well serviced and monitored. Well done. Definitely unforgettable experience and I would be booked a same product when I have a chance to visit NZ again. Thanks britz!! You guys are awesome.

Great way to get around the country
Gave us the flexibility to go where we wanted and when we wanted and didn't have to keep unpacking and packing as we would had we used hotels and motels. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed.

Best group and bus driver on the south!
This was my second time on the bus after stopping in Paihia where I worked and lived for three months exploring all parts of the bay possible. Anna was amazing, such a wonderful person and very helpful with everything we needed, care highly about the environment which also speaks to me personally on a high level! The group was filled with great people, really enjoyed spending time with everyone and since it was smaller group we came close to each and everyone, just so so good! Experienced my first two weeks on the bus in the end of January/Beginning of February on the north and it was for sure more hectic, maybe due to all the people and not as enjoyable even though I saw a lot of amazing places even then. Barely time to eat so I was starving for two weeks and I'm car sick, sure doesn't help in the hills leading up to my second home. This time happy and well fed girl from Wellington all the way to Q-town for suuuure!!!!

Kiwi Experience is the way to travel New Zealand!
While there are lots of options for traveling (backpacking) New Zealand, traveling with the Kiwi Experience is an action packed adventure with lots of things to see and to do on a daily basis. Going from city to city in a bus full of like-minded people makes you bound have all your activities together with friends. They claim to be hop-on hop-hop off, but by choosing the default amount of days per city, you'll end up with lots of the same people on a semi-daily basis. While it is not mandatory to do all the activities, you will find yourself doing most of them. The Kiwi Experience itself is of high quality. The buses are new, clean and the drivers are fun and full of knowledge. The reserved accommodations are good and the special ones are great. The guides, routes, activities and and hikes are all well-documented and repeated throughout the journey, so you will never miss anything which is offered. I'd say once in a lifetime and definitely the way to go if you're up for it!
