Interesting and great experience
Sightseeing of the best of New Zealand's wonderful landscapes, many great offers for activities and - last but not least: The Kiwi-Busdrivers were "all-rounders" and always friendly and helpful. :-) Super, that the first accommodation is always guaranteed, very good organisation ....

Great concept
A good way to explore New Zeeland if you haven’t travel before and need to get out there and explore. Very glad I did it with kiwi

Easy when not planning much
Jumping on and off the buses was really easy when you do a backpacking trip through NZ

Loved it!
I started my Kiwi trip in Nov, for 3.5 weeks on the Sheep Dog pass. Travelling through North and South Island, from Auckland to Queenstown, I found the bus to go to all major destinations (plus a few quirky, off-the-beaten-track ones) along the way and the two drivers I had were really knowledgeable! The hostels could have been better - most of the Base/Nomads we stayed at were very commercial and you felt like 'just another backpacker', but some of the others, like the one at Lake Mahinapua were so welcoming and had their own authentic vibe! Before each major destination, the bus driver will also give you information about the activities available in each place, how much it costs and a genuine unbiased review of the activity. For example, our driver Ben said to do the white water rafting in River Valley as it's a longer trip, pretty much a similar river-scape and much better value for money! Met some amazing fellow travellers from all over the world (unlike Contiki which is predominantly Aussie) and they became like a family over the 2.5 weeks we were together. We now even have plans to go to South America together in 2020! I'd definitely recommend the Kiwi Experience for solo travellers or those who don't want the hassle of hiring their own car or driving. It's a wonderful, stress-free experience!

Fantastic NZ experience
Such a good way to get around NZ as a first time traveller. Made loads of friends and saw a lot of cool stuff in a relatively short space of time. Bus drivers Ben L and Josh L made the experience especially enjoyable :-)

Great trip
Really enjoyed the trip. Josh was our driver most of the time and felt like we were friends toward the end. We also had Ben for a bit who was equally awesome, funny, and engaged with the passengers. Overall - lots of fun.
