Loved every moment
Whilst in Australia I had met a lot of people who had already done Kiwi and they all raved about it. My friend and I had booked our pass whilst still at home and didn't know what to expect but we were no disappointed. For the month we were in New Zealand, Kiwi Experience made our lives so easy with accomodation sorted, easy access to all of the activities we wanted and more and most importantly, making friends was so easy. Whilst travelling you meet a lot of people you do not want to leave but after spending 3/4 weeks with some people, we had acquired a small family which made the journey even more spectacular. I can not thank Kiwi enough for helping this country live up and beyond to all I had hoped and dreamed for.

So much fun! Loved every minute!
I wish I had booked sooner, and booked for longer! Loved every minute! The drivers were generous, helpful, and fun. Every stop and every activity was amazing. Grazie!

What a trip
8 hour trek doing the tongariro crossing, one of the hardest and most rewarding activities on the kiwi bus!

On the whole a great way to see NZ:)
I purchased the Rangi pass before I started travelling. My first trip with Kiwi was up to the bay of islands. Jarrad- the driver was very knowledgeable and its was a good start to the Kiwi experience. From then I stayed on the bus doing all the North Island and the south as far as Kaikora. Positives- good way to see NZ if short on time or solo traveller Good offers on activities and the range offered is good- something for everything Negatives- relies too much on base hostels (often not the best deal), sometimes its like being on a school trip (though many people are young so maybe thats the reason) There are a couple of stops that don't quite make sense. For example- Wellington- you get to Wellington late and leave early the next morning Wellington is a nice city and worth spending half a day or a couple of days there. From Wellington you get the ferry and go to Kaiteriteri which is also a really nice place but again you don't get a lot of time there. From there you go to Westport which is not a nice place and the activities were called off- because it is winter. No idea why the stop is there. It would make more sense in the winter to go cross the ferry in the afternoon stay overnight in Picton and then go to Kaiteriteri and skip Westport. I stayed in Picton and it was lovely- good hikes and things to do. In Wanaka you stop at puzzling world for 1hr30. 10 mins down the road there is a shooting range and mini golf, driving range. This would be a much better stop giving people the opportunity to do more activities. Rob was the driver for the most part of my trip- he was great, informative without talking too much and was a good laugh. I also liked Sparrow and Jarrad. I had James for the beginning of my trip- he was lovely and would do anything to help you he just needs to chill out a little. He obviously knows the job and NZ but he's quite forgetful so he is very off and on the mic with bits he forgot

Epic road trip
So happy I chose to explore New Zealand with the kiwi experience! It was so easy to just sit back and relax and enjoy the views along the way, signing up for activities and places to stay on the day with no hassle whatsoever. Also got the chance to meet some great people, including the kiwi drivers.
