Rolling through the hills
While studying abroad i decided to go travaling to New Zealand. Not knowing how or what to do chosing a hop on/off bus was amazing. I got to see so much of this country and the stories that were told while on the road were amazing. I met some amazingly sweet people and I definitely want to come back and see more, cause my list has gotten longer

Wonderful with some Improvements to make
I am very happy I did Kiwi experience as it was a wonderful way to see New Zealand. I did think there was an over emphasis on drinking, which I like but I thought some stops were simply too dedicated to that activity. There was also an inconsistence in the quality of drivers with some people exceptional and others being grumpy or less helpful.

Perfect vehicle for tripping around
The vehicle was great for city hopping around the east coast. It allowed us to freely move to where ever we wanted to be. Driving was very comfotable, it being such a new vehicle helped a lot with that. The sleeping set up was fine and having the abbility to charge through usb ports was very handy. Also having the fridge was a big plus as it meant we could have cold water at any time. The only downside to the van was that there was no ventillation in the rear so sleeping, especially with two people on a warm/rainy night, was quite uncomfortable. Our solution was using usb fans bought from Target to keep air moving around the room and this worked ok.

Our awesome NZ-experience
My friend and I booked the Tiki trip last minute about one week before going on our 3 week trip to NZ. First we weren’t sure what exactly to expect, as we’re usually not really the backpacking kind of travelers. Starting in Auckland we were convinced that we made the right decision with Kiwi Experience. We had the most epic driver (Ninja, who unfortunately had his last trip with KE) and met some amazing new friends! Kiwi Experience makes sure that you get to see all the best spots in New Zealand and offers tons of (unfortunately sometimes rather expensive) activities. One of the big advantages of Kiwi Experience is that you don’t have to worry about any kind of organization during your trip, like accommodation for example (as long as you’re comfortable with sleeping in dorms). Most of the hostels were fair for their price, though there’s a need to say that some of them (especially Base) didn’t meet basic hygienic standards. Even though there have been some small issues our overall experience was totally awesome and we’d always travel with Kiwi Experience again!

Had a blast
Met some amazing people all the drivers were great fun, if you’ve only got 5 weeks in New Zealand kiwi experience will show you the entire country

Nice and easy
I bought the super funky pass a few months before I went travelling. It is nice and to travel with Kiwi E. I like that the drivers have a big knowledge about NZ and some of them are really good to tell stories and legends. You can ask them about everything and they are happy to answer.

Good fun
The bus pass makes it so easy and stress and hassle free to travel round but sometimes it felt like being on a school trip and being told what to do

An experience
My kiwi experience, on the whole was good. Not sure I would recommend it for those who are not fresh out of university, since it often felt as though I was on a school trip. But overall I met some great people. In particular, my driver, Happy, was a real delight to meet.
