Amazing trip
Bying the whole kit and caboodle is defiently worth it, had an amazing trip which was made a lot easier by the kiwi experience. Allowed us to do as much as we could possible do in the time we had.

Our Kiwi trip
We travelled with kiwi during february and most of the time was a nice experience. The bus drivers were really friendly, helpful and they had a great amount of knowledge about the country, culture and new zealand lifestyle. To travel from stop to stop on the bus was comfortable.

Too much party and stress!
I didn't really read the reviews of the bus tour. So I was quite disappointed when I realised that I booked a party bus full of people who did rather enjoy partying than experiencing NZ nature. Most of them did both islands in 1 month and as I was travelling for 4 months, I rarely met people twice or was travelling a longer time with them which was sometimes really annoying. The good thing about Kiwi Experience is that there's always stops at lookout points or other interesting spots where for example Intercity wouldn't stop.

Simple way to see the best parts of NZ
I had a fantastic time travelling the South island and met some amazing people, would definitely go and do it again and kiwi make sure you can do anything you would like to do along the way so you have the best possible time. The bus drivers get involved in some of the party nights at Franz Josef and Queenstown and seem to try to get to know you along your travels.

Good fun overall
I had a great time overall, met some great people, but for me, it was a bit too intense. If I were to do it again, I would do it in off peak season. Most of the activity's you do can be just as good in winter as in summer. One of the problems were hostels, a lot of the time to ensure you had a place and could use the hop on hop off service you would have to book a fair time in advance, which can be difficult because you don't know where you might like best. I had a great time and KIWI experience are good at what they do, but like I say, I would preferably do it in winter.

Easy and convenient!
The Kiwi E bus was a great step between having your own vehicle and taking a coach between destinations. Unlike Intercity (or other coach operators), the Kiwi E bus stops at all of the 'must see' sites for photo opportunities, etc. The drivers are very knowledgeable and helpful!

Great experience in minimum time of 3 weeks
I bought this four weeks before my journey started. I am lucky that there were so many things/spots to see and activities to make. Sometimes in the bus it was stressful to handle/decide all the sheets for activities and accommodations. All in all was it an great experience! The driver were really friendly and always had time for me. There was one driver called 'Ivan' which was really unfriendly. He never cared about the people and about me. It was like he wasn't fussed about my questions. It was so annoying that I have to tell you about. Thank you for the great time!:)
