Great experience
Kiwi experience is hassle free. And a good investment. All drivers got you to a to b in time and planned all trips and hostels. leaving you to do nothing. They explain well and have good knowledge and talk to you as a individual to see whats best for you. You meet a lot of people and see the highlights of the south and north island

Adventure of a Lifetime with Kiwi Experience!
I'm so happy I went on the Kiwi Experience! I barely had to life a finger for accommodations and activities. I got to relax and have fun at the same time, and I got to meet amazing people.

Nice trip!
I had a nice trip with Kiwi Experience! The drivers were always very friendly to help you sorting out accommodation and trips. It is an easy way to meet other people travelling around. Disadvantages could be that most bus drives are quite long because of some extra stops (for example for walks, but the advantage of that is to see more of the county) and that when you stay shorter or longer on a bus, that you can come on a new bus where groups are already formed a bit. Because of the mandatory overnight stops, the journey is a bit fixed, but the good thing is that you don't have to think about too much by yourself about the next stop.

Good experience
Kiwi experience was a fantastic way to start off traveling alone. It really gives you a feel for the country and travleing alone. The drivers were amazing probably 95% of the time. Regardless though I loved my experience

Simply Great
I was on Kiwi experience for 2 months on "The whole kit caboodle". I found it was a good way to travel through the country for a couple of reasons; 1. Friendly, entertaining and experienced drivers. The drivers are often from New Zealand and can tell interesting/relevant/insider, information and stories about the area/town/city that you otherwise would not have known (if you travel by regular bus or by rental car). They also know what places are good to stop for; a walk, for lunch or cheap supermarkets, in good time. 2. Easy to book good activities/accommodation/group activities. As you are closing in to a city/town they hand out a clipboard with accommodation and activities as well as give a bit information about the different options. Then you just tick in what you want to do and where you want to stay (if you stay at the recommended hostel you automatically have a room, otherwise they let you know when it is a good time to book in advance). When you get the clipboard you can just see what other people are doing/staying and group up and do things together. You automatically get into a group of people who are interested in doing the same type of things as you. Very nice 3. You can travel hangover! As everyone is going of on the same places and you have a driver you can sleep as much as you want on the way and be fresh for when you arrive 4. Freedom. As you travel you can choose if you want to run with the program on minimum days or stay a couple of extra days (or even take a break to earn some more money before you continue).

Great service.
We got a big six and started our 14 days journey from Christchurch. Everything worked well before we headed back from west coast to Christchurch on day 12. After we stopped in the mountains, somewhere around 100 km from Christchurch, we could not start our campervan. We called and a mechanic was sent to help us within an hour. We made it to Christchurch with the van totally refused to start up whenever we off the engine. The company let us hire another vehicle and we left the poor campervan in the campsite. We managed to claim all our extra expenses. They even paid for our two days accommodation and waived our diesel tax for 3000++ km. We are impressed with their fast decisions in solving the problems efficiently.

So much fun
I finished my kiwi experience a few weeks ago and I miss it so much! Made so many friends and shared so many beautiful experiences. Super easy if you're travelling alone because you make friends in one second. New Zealand is a beautiful place And kiwi experience was the best way for me to explore it, and I sure did :)
