Perfect service!
I was travelling with a friend we really enjoyed it. The drivers were all very friendly and we got a lot of interesting information from them. Thank your for such a great experience!

Amazing
I bought the pass with my boyfriend without really knowing too much about it, we had just heard good things from a friend. I'm so glad we went with kiwi experience. It's so much more than a bus pass, the drivers are so helpful and funny and informative. Booking of accommodation and trips is so easy amd you pack a lot of things in! I learnt so much more about New Zealand than I thought I would and I'd love to do it all again!

A bus service with good views
Definitely worth doing if your travelling on your own & looking to meet people. Found on our buses it was mostly girls who could be quite cliquey. However met some really lovely people. A lot of money for what you actually receive. Majority of hostels were really great. Other than Waitomo one where there was mice traps everywhere & a mouse found in someone's room! Maybe look at finding better accommodation for here?

Great way to travel NZ
We had the Sheepdog pass and we are really happy with it. We saw a lot of great places and walks that we probably hadn't found by ourselves! It was easy to change your itinerary and and since we didn't travel during the high season extending our hostel nights we're usually not a problem. Kiwiexperience was a convenient and fun way to travel and a good way to meet new people if your travelling alone.

Perfect way to see NZ and meet great people!
The Kiwi Experience was a great way to see New Zealand as it meant we were shown the best of the country with the flexibility of staying at each place as long as we wanted. The best part about the whole experience was the friends we made along the way, some who we stayed with for the whole month down the country. Our driver, Gina B was amazing - she was super fun, friendly and helpful with any questions we had along the way... plus she had the best playlist! We would recommend the Kiwi Experience to anyone who wants to explore NZ at ease and meet some great people along the way!

Great experience!
Just arrived back from 2 weeks on the Southern round up trip. Enjoyed it immensely and our guide (Guy) was so knowledgeable and approachable.

Really great especially for inexperienced traveler
My friends and I booked our trip from our two week break from school, and it was amazing! Everywhere we wanted to do you took to us, AND found the accommodation. The discounted prices for activities were amazing as well, and I loved that I was able to do everything I ever dreamed of on the South Island.

Fun and over too quick
Overall it was a brilliant experience. I had Rick, Elliot and Dylan as my driver and Dylan definitely shone out as the best. The Kiwi Exp was organised, well planned and great value for money. Would do it again without a doubt.

Glad I booked!
I decided to go to New Zealand whilst I was in Australia but had no idea where I wanted to go and how to plan my tour. Then at one hostel I saw an ad for kiwi experience and it looked ideal for what I wanted and luckily was on sale. I'm glad you can pre book some accommodation however if I had to give some constructive feedback it would be great if (for people like myself who were on minimum time and definitely not changing that) we could book all accommodation before hand. Other than that I was extremely impressed with how kiwi experience is run and the people were excellent. Special shout out to my 2 drivers I had Ivan and Kathy, they were nice and helpful and loads of fun. The places we stayed were some of the best I've stayed during travelling and the activities were great. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and has made me want to come back to New Zealand!
