Great trip
Elliot our driver was extremely helpful. He made the experience so much better with his humour and easy going attitude. Nothing was ever an issue and he always helped with questions on activities and hostel bookings. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

Most EPIC holiday ever. Period.
For three years, I work in retail to pay for a holiday to NZ. This was money well spent! I've met the greatest people and talked to some awesome kiwis. Props to Toddy, Dylan and Dave for being epic driverguides

Great experience-our driver made it!!
We had an amazing time on the kiwi experience in July 2019. We did minimum time bar a stop over in Wellington on the way back. Our driver, Elliott was amazing! He was so approachable, helpful and loads of fun. Would recommend the bus to everyone as everything is made so easy and you get to take in so much of New Zealand!

Mighty Moa' 'round the main islands
Spent three weeks in July going around the main islands with Kiwi-experience, could've easily used five, wish I had done four. I was on the 'Mighy Moa' round-trip package, rode from Auckland to Kaikoura - (Had a plane out of Christchurch, in hindsight, it should've been out of Wellington.) Pros: Lots of places to see. Lots of great people to meet. Easy to use - useful itineraries (Though always check pick-up time, describtion and street!) Decent selection of activities along the way. Jump-on - Jump-off passes for flexibility. Cons: You're going to be busy - It's a tight schedule unless you jump buses all the time. You will need to catch up on sleep in the bus, despite the view. Plan where to be, when and in which order after the bus-schedule. I'd travel with Kiwi again if I ever needed to get around New Zealand on my own again. It's great for single or couple travellers, if you're a group, I'd consider a car. (Tip: If you get an accommodation package, make sure you have the accommodation specific voucher.)

Aussie Kiwi Adventures
Oh what a time! We managed to do a loop of the South Island in just over 2 weeks, and what a way to do it! The best way to see all of NZ and all the beauty it offers. Being able to easily pull up in any town we please and live out of our home on wheels. It was comfy, WARM, and roomy enough to accomodate my 6’5 fiancé! NZ what a time!!

Best Roadtrip Ever
Our first campervan experience, it was fun. Scenic drive almost every corner of New Zealand. Free data 1GB seems to little, and its almost useless during our trip, no connection at all. Heater provided did helped us keep warm during freezing winter.

Good time
I did meet a lot of new and nice people! Our driver Elliot was the best giving us a lot of information about New Zealand. He was chilled and fun and I would love to get on another bus with him!

Had a few minor issues, such as toilet not working from the start, heating was a bit of a challenge at times. Could tell the vam was older
