Good way to see New Zealand!
I bought the biggest pass you can get with Kiwi Experience and I don't regret it for a second. I have seen so many places around the country and I have made such beautiful memories.

Unparalleled experience with even better people
I have no words. Except I was nervous when I came, on top of the world on the journey and sad when I left. Thank you Kiwi Experience.

Unforgettable Experience
Unforgettable experience. Everything about it was perfect. Drivers great fun! Runs like clockwork in terms of booking buses, activities and accommodation. Making unforgettable memories and meeting great people along the way. I want to do it again.

Great trip
Bought this trip pretty last minute before I flew out here and it's turned out great. Such an easy and fun way to get around with like minded people!

Great experience!
I'm so happy that I decided to travel New Zealand with Kiwi Experience. If you don't have a car, I guess this is the best option you have. Kiwi stops at all the nice places and I met so many new friends. It was a wonderful time and I'll never forget it.

Had the best time!
I spend the last 3 and a half week traveling with Kiwi Experience and it was so good! I met a lot of cool people that I am lucky to call my friends now and I saw the most beautiful nature that can't be compared to anything else. The drivers were all really cool and they helped us with everything. They share a lot of (personal) stories with you about the places and help you get anywhere you want, even if it is not a scheduled stop. We also changed our schedule a few times and it was not a problem at all. Some accommodations might seem a little expensive, but I thought especially the unique ones were totally worth it. And otherwise you are still given the opportunity to find a different accommodation on your own. The only thing that is a little bit annoying is that sometimes you cannot change your scheduled nights if you already have a flight back or planned something else because you might be on standby for the bus. For backpackers who also want to travel to other countries the passes might seem quite expensive. I also would not have booked my Tiki Pass if I haven't gotten 50% off of the original price. But in the end it was totally worth it and really paid off because you really don't just get transportation. All in all I can only recommend Kiwi Experience to anyone who wants to have a unique experience in New Zealand, but I would recommend taking your time and not rushing through the country like I did. You might want to take your time to explore and enjoy New Zealand. I will definitely come back!

A great way to see New Zealand!
I travelled on the kiwi bus from Auckland, through the north and south islands finishing in Christchurch on the Sheepdog ticket. The places that kiwi stop at are amazing and I definitely I've seen and experienced the best that New Zealand has to offer! Being someone who hopped off at nearly every stop I had a lot of drivers who were all great and the buses were always clean and on time. The discounts given on activities that can be booked on the bus are decent and almost pays for your initial ticket! The only negative I can give is that some of the accommodation kiwi use can be second rate and I would recommend anyone doing longer than minimum time in a place to book ahead and maybe find a nicer hostel.

Amazing trip
It was everything I expected and more. The kiwi experience made everything so easy to organise and hassle free. We managed to see so many amazing places in NZ a relatively short space of time. The bus drivers were fun friendly and informative But the best part had to be all the great people we met on the buses!
