Such a good way to spend your time!
You meet so many awesome people to travel with and make friends for a lifetime. It's so good to have friends all around the world. But the best thing of all is the mentality of the bus drivers. People you can have a lot of fun with. The only bad thing is that when it's bad weather you have no opportunity to come back and see it again. But you're doing an awesome job!

Stress free travel at its finest
As someone who has travelled a lot before, I was nervous to take on the Kiwi Experience because usually I organise everything myself, I wasn't sure if I would like the 'toured' experience. However, it was hands-down one of the best decisions I made! The whole trip was so stress free and relaxed, which meant that I got to spend every single day of my trip just enjoying myself and soaking in gorgeous New Zealand. Discounted prices on the activities were a massive bonus and I managed to squeeze so much more into my time. The hop on hop off service was fabulous too, I changed my buses a lot and the office were so easy to deal with! The best part of my trip was being surrounded by other likeminded fun people on the bus who also wanted to have a fun and adventure-filled time. Some of them are best friends I know I will keep forever, they taught me that no solo traveller is ever alone!

A really well-done operation
The tour is really an example to be followed. After 5 months in Asia sorting out travel ourselves, the kiwi experience was a breath of fresh air to have everything done for you and all the places (even on the way!) given information and a bit of history for. All the drivers are fantastic, they become your friend. It's the perfect way to see New Zealand and its amazing scenery. Also their honesty about describing the activities is much appreciated, you don't get the impression they are in it for the commission at all. Thanks so much for the best month ever!

Beautiful views!
I took the south and sound trip journey with a few fellow classmates during our semester break. I absolutely enjoyed the whole experience. I enjoyed sharing these moments with my friends but loved meeting the many new souls that shared the experience with me from all over the world! I have to say my bus driver ben kept me on my toes during our journey across the South Island!

Amazing experience!
I bought this trip one month ago and it was a really good experience. I met a lot of people from different countries, culture, language... So, that's make you richer.

The best way to travel around New Zealand
I joined the Kiwi Experience for a month long trip over August and September, starting in Auckland and ending in Christchurch. I made amazing friends on the bus who I know will be friends for life and without whom the trip wouldn't have been the same! Everything about the Kiwi Experience was so easy and hassle free which meant all you had to do was have fun and enjoy New Zealand

Amazing Experience
It was an awesome way to see the main sites in the south island and was a real fun trip too. My driver cuddles was amazing so helpful and informative as well as keeping us entertained on the bus. Met some lovely people along the way and did amazing activities that I never thought I would do - Franz Josef Ice Explorer up on the glacier was def one of the best.

Much more than just your average tour
Every minute on the Kiwi Bus was amazing! Every driver was friendly, energetic, and very knowledgable. Kiwi has the hook up with all of the attractions I wanted to do regardless if I came on the bus or not, so a discount was awesome. It was easy to travel in a small group, we were able to stay in the same room easily throughout the entire trip. And best part was the fact I didn't have to worry about driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, or anything safety related. Kiwi made my few weeks so hassle free, I would recommended them 10/10 times!

Best experience
It was a great experience! I had 4 different bus drivers (Ben Larrett, Murray, Simon and the Milford sound guy) and they were all amazing!! very passionate about their job and about their country. With kiwi experience i had the chance to meet lots of new people, travel an awesome country without the hassle of driving for hours in a row and enjoy some kiwi culture (thank to the drivers). High recommended to all my friends already! keep the great job and the great people on!! You are brilliant!
