Super easy no hustle
Absolutely happy wirh every point of out booking and trip. From online booking deposit payment and pick up. Stuff was very friendly kiwi girls on pick up and Hungarian girl on drop off were all very informative and answered all questions. Offered all I needed and I was on my way in few minutes. Insurance is a must. Do not drive too fast otherwise campervan gets very petrol consuming. 12 days was just fine to do what we needed.

awesome people
I came to NZ on my own, so I booked a Kiwi pass and I'm glad I did it. I met so many great people ! Our bus driver Anna encouraged us to do all the activities and they were seriously so much fun! The only thing annoying were long days on the bus on the south island and the bad weather on the west coast there. But that's nature I guess and thaz's why NZ is so beautiful! Another good thing is that a hostel place is guaranteed, but we didn't like Base.

Stuck in the Bus
Kiwibus was sold to me and my friend as a flexible hop on hop off bus. Therefore you can decide if you want to stay somewhere and how long. The kiwi bus is much more a booked grouptravel. That is great for other people but was totally not what we wanted. Besides that it was very very exhausting to listen to the charts all the time and did not gave time to relax and enjoy whatever (for example reading or listening to own music). It really stressed me much more sitting in the bus with all the sheets and music than it felt like holiday. I felt quiet often that the bus drivers think we are 18 to 20 years old when they tell us when to wash, go to toilet or something like that. Passengers are sometimes older and know theirselfes. Thanks to some of the busdrivers. They where pretty chilled which made the whole trip a little bit more holiday like. I also felt save how all of them drove. 90°/°where very friendly.

No hop-on-hop-off
Thought it was like a hop-on-hop-off-bus but it acutally was not. Could not skip a over night stay and had to stay where the bus stops.. there were many beautiful and stunning stops but a bit more possibilities would be great! :)

Easy peasy lemon squeezy
I bought a ticket 3,5 months ago. Kiwi experience is an easy way to see the most beautiful places of new zealand and to meet friends quickly. It is fun and filled with many walks and great activities. I had an amazing time

Awesome trip
Kiwi Experience was a great way of experiencing New Zealand. Most drivers were really helpful and friendly and good at telling about the places, culture, etc along the way. You meet a lot of different people and make new friends. Though I could have wished for a bit more flexibility, it was overall really good, especially if you are travelling by yourself.

Great experience. NZ is the place to travel with c
It was my first time with a campervan and left driving. It was a pleasure to drive the campervan during kiwi roads (well indicated mostly speed in curves and towns).

Fabulous way to travel and make friends!
I'd heard nothing but good reviews for the kiwi experience and im chuffed to say i totally agree with them all. Ive had the most amazing time and the organisation from kiwi has been so sooo good. The bus drivers have all been super friendly and mega helpful! Would recommend to all. Especially solo travellers like myself.
