Brilliant way to see the best of New Zealand
My boyfriend and I bought the passes on offer last year- we both agree it's definitely the best way to see all the best sights and do all the best activities in NZ, and you get to meet lots of people on the way. My only advice would be that either more buses need to be on, or bus pass vendors need to warn people to book ahead of time- luckily we had booked all our buses early, but we were hoping to change a few when we got there which wasn't possible due to big waiting lists everywhere. A few of our friends who hadn't booked ahead ended up having to either wait longer in certain places or buying inter-city passes to get around which spoiled their experience a little. I think the "hop on/hop off" idea is a big part of the appeal to travellers who don't know where they love yet, so it's a shame it wasn't really a possibility.

A once in a lifetime experience
I bought the sheepdog pass back in January and was apprehensive on what I was getting myself in for, but the friends you meet along the way on the bus, the activities and experiences you share and the views you see is incredible.

Great way to see Aotearoa!!!
Kia ora, my name is Ahurangi and I am from Waitomo. I toured on the Kiwi bus May 2019, and I loved it. The destinations, activities, driver, atmosphere and social life was loads of fun and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to travel NZ in a fun social setting.

Great trip
I was really pleased with the kiwi trip. It was easy to book activites on the bus and also to compare different options. By going with the bus you saw alot of nature. The only negative thing was the recommended hostels, most of them were pretty expensive and did not own up to the price. On the other hand the Hostels were an easy place to connect with the group.

Great experience. Could have been better.
It was an amazing experience to do the kiwi experience but it was not as flexible and easy going as it should have been. It seems like a lot of the busses were full up and it wasn't really a hop-on hop-off service because I wasn't able to stay longer in some places with the friends I had made due to being on long waiting lists for packed busses.
