Unexpected satisfied with Kiwi! Great expirience!
I've been traveling already for one year through Asia and Australia before I came to New Zealand. I never traveld with any organization or bus company and also didnt plan on doing that here in New Zealand. I have done a lot of hitchhiking and traveling with friends or travelmates I have met online. I only decided to go with kiwi because my time here in NZ is limited and Kiwi will cover most of the country within a minimum time. I have now covered the whole south island and only have a few more stops left in the north. The descion to go with Kiwi was absolutely worth it. I was surprised how much I love the easy flow and the family environment in the bus. I have met great people and made lifelong friendships. The bus drivers are incredible helpful and some really love to share the vibe of the bus. Its less planing more doing and enjoying a great time. Especially for travel beginners its a good first taste into the backpackerlife of beeing constant on the move, checking out diffrent places, sleeping every day in a diffrent bed, meeting new people and expiriencing adventures constantly. And for travels who have already went through all of that and know the backpacking life it is the same thing, with just way less caring and organizing from your side. Hostels are generally provided by Kiwi, activities get reserved and offered to a special prize and the option to meet people is made automaticly easy. Solo traveler from germany, 20 years old

Great way to see NZ
The kiwi bus is a fantastic way to travel around New Zealand. I traveled on the KEA pass for two weeks and had an amazing time. A good way to meet people if you're traveling alone and it's so easy to sort out accommodation and activities whilst on the road.

Sweet As
I was debating whether to travel in a campervan or get the kiwi bus, and one day made an impulse decision to buy a sheepdog pass. This turned out to be an awesome decision. Met so many cool people on the bus, visited all of the must sees in NZ and got so much info from the driver, Rob! What a country!

Great time, easy to get around
Riding the Kiwi Experience bus, communicating with the office, and setting up activities and accommodations was an easy quick experience. Kyle gave us plenty of updates and opportunities to ask questions throughout the trip.

Amazing!
This was easily the best thing I've ever done in my life. Met some amazing people saw some incredible things and had the most mind blowing experience. It is surreal to look back and question whether it all happened or if it was just a dream. You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Much better than I thought it would be!
I'm happy I chose Kiwi Experience as it was a great way of meeting new people, seeing places that I wouldn't have necessarily visited on my own and the bonus of having garaunteed accommodation. I was initially worried that it would only be 18-20 year old on Kiwi as I've been told previously that it's a 'party bus' and thankfully this was not the case; I was able to meet people of all ages from all over the world and the experience was totally what I made of it which of course did mean partying sometimes. The bus drivers can really enhance your experience. I was lucky to have Dylan as a bus driver for a week of my South Island trip and he was super knowledgable, passionate and fun to be around. No other driver quite compared to him. The activities such as glow worm caves, Mouri village overnight stay and Hobbiton were all great highlights. Overall, a really great experience and it was really good to have my accommodation guaranteed over the Christmas and New Years period.

Amazing experience!
Such an amazing experience with amazing people! Bus driver was very entertaining (cuddles) could go on for ages about all the amazing places and experiences but you really need to experience the magic yourself!

Great way to see NZ!
I bought the pass because I only had a limited time in NZ and I wanted to see as much as possible! This was the best way to travel NZ as a solo traveller because it was so easy to meet people. I would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely loved my trip!
I travelled around New Zealand with a friend, we travelled for about 2 months and had the most amazing experience! We have been pushed beyond our comfort zones and have had so many amazing opportunities thanks to you guys! They guides were all amazing and knew so much about the places, where to go, what to do! I also had my birthday while we were out there and travelled from Wanaka to Queenstown.. the guide was awesome and we both bungy jumped from the bridge getting dunked in the water! Thank you so much for the best trip in my favourite country so far!!
