Incredible experience
I did the Kiwi Experience Jan/Feb 2017 and have to say it was the best decision ever! It was peak time for backpackers in NZ so it was busy and we sturggled with getting on some buses but it all worked out in the end. Great for socialising and meeting loads of different people Takes you to places you would never have thought of going such as River Valley where I ended up having one of the best nights of the trip! Would recommend this to anyone thinking of backpacking NZ :D

wonderful experience among nice people
The trip with the Buzzy Bee Pass was great,but the best was the Deep South! Milford. Sound was very good, but the bottom bus with Dominic from Ivercargill to Dunedin the very best!!!!

Would 100% recommend
One of the best things I've ever done. Organised amazingly well, drivers were great help and good fun. Each stop offered something unique and interesting. Met some amazing people along the way and mates for life. Can't recommend enough, it was just pretty unreal.

Old car type uncomfortable for passengers
I traveled by camper with 4 friends. The camper was an old "type" and for the passenger on the back seats very uncomfortable. They always used the bed at travel time but this is not really safe. During rain, the water has passed through the roof window into the cabin. Very positive was the service. When trying to change the campervan everybody was trying to find a solution. Unfortunately everything was booked. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The change of towels and bed covers after one week worked perfect.

Amazing time in New Zealand - Thank you Kiwi!
Great way to get around New Zealand - Each driver has their own personality but that is what makes the experience unique. Big thank you especially to Dave, Mike ( who has now left the company after many years of stellar service) and Luke. This was one of the best things I have ever done. Stunning scenery everywhere you go, excellent activities you can do on a daily basis and you are going to meet some amazing people who you will share memories with that will last a lifetime and you will stay in contact with them. Thank you Kiwi Experience

Super experience (especially if you travel alone!)
I had certain areas and cities on my "New Zealand Bucket List" and luckily got recommended a bus-pass rather than 'normal buses' taking you from point A to B. This was a great way to meet people (and travel with them for some days) get fun facts on the way, go to places ordinary route buses wouldn't take you and the driver was awesome: A driver, but also a guide.

Only way to do New Zealand!
I did the Kiwi experience over February/March for one month. It was so much fun and a must do. Its a great way to make friends along your travels and makes the whole experience of travelling so easy, with accommodation sorted and great activities available without any hassle of booking yourself. I can't imagine travelling New Zealand on my own as there are lots of cool places that you go to that I perhaps would not have done on own, which was made even more fun with big group of people. It is flexible so can change your days of travelling etc if want to stay longer in one place so you still have freedom to do whatever you want. Id say that one month/4 weeks is the perfect time to do both North and South Island

Sweet as!
I just completed my month in New Zealand with Kiwi Bus Experience and it was honestly one of the best times of my life. I met some awesome people, did some amazing activities and saw incredible scenery.

Something I'll never forget
My partner and I went on the trip together. The trip was so much fun and we had some amazing times and met some amazing people, however in my opinion the kiwi bus is more suited to single people rather then couples. Having said this we still had an amazing time. The fact that all the activities are there for you to do or not do is amazing. We had no about half of them and they really made our trip.
