Best trip I've done so far!
Did the Whole Kit and Caboodle and it was fantastic! The places are amazing, the activities and awesome and the drivers make the whole experience all the better! They are so knowledgeable and are so friendly and up for a laugh, but also very happy to help when needed! The trip was absolutely fabulous and is definitely one of the best things I have ever done!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!

Really good fun
Just spent 6 weeks on and off the kiwi experience bus. I really enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anyone else travelling with a short time period.

Amazing experience
The kiwi experience was over and above everything I expected! I met some amazing people who im sure will be friends for life. The drivers were all so knowledgeable and took us to some incredible places.

A great all round experience
I had a great time on the kiwi experience bus. It's more like a tour than a hop on hop off husband as it was sold to me. I would forward it again but do more research on the places visited before getting on the bus as sone activities cost more booking through the bus. Generally a good experience around New Zealand.

Wonderful time!
My friends and I had an awesome time! It was a great way to see a lot of New Zealand and meet a bunch of great people. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of travelling to NZ.

Brillant Tour!
Went to New Zealand unexpectedly from Australia a couple of weeks ago an was the best thing we've done on our 3 month travels through Asia an Oz, especially with Kiwi Experience. Fun, knowledgeable, down to earth bus drivers giving you the low down on each stop you visit on the south an north islands! Breathetaking views along the way you won't see anywhere else in the world, good opportunity's doing various activities whilst meeting wicked people/friends all at the same time! Highly recommend Kiwi Experience if your planning on visting NZ!

Ivan
We had Ivan Larsen as a driver and although he's new we found him brillant! So helpful and great fun! The only thing I didn't not like about kiwi is I felt some of the stops were unnecessary and there was nothing there like river valley, Westport and lake mahinapua. I also felt the kiwi a bit of a robbery at times as we dropped at these random locations and as there was nothing else around we had to buy dinner there ie river valley and lake mahinapua!! There was also quite a lot of food stops during the day for food and more for the driver I felt! I did really enjoy kiwi experience but more because of the people I met!! Also I would have enjoyed more hikes!!

Pros and cons
The Kiwi Experience is great for meeting people and it's a great way to see lots of the country, however i feel there need to be more i for about the intensity and what the day to day procedure is. For my pass the minimum time was 19 days, however they need to say this is going to be very rushed. I had 30 days and it's still very rushed. in fairness it does say you can take up to 12 months but I think they should suggest at least 6 weeks.
