Travelling with Kiwi Experience between now and Mid-January? Check out these helpful hints!
The water is warm, the beaches are beautiful, and the people are friendly. It’s like any other day in New Zealand, except there are a few things you might need help with! So here are the frequently asked questions we get over this time of year!
Do the Big Green Buses run over Christmas and New Year’s?
YES! The wheels keep on turning, our drivers keep on driving, and our reservations crew will be there to help you.
We do have some decreased departures over this time. Check out our latest bus timetable for more information.
Activities and Accommodation
All accommodation providers are open as normal, but some activities will closed (which we completely understand). Your Driver Guide will let you know about what is available, and they’ll also let you know about any special Christmas plans.
The good news is, your accommodation is still guaranteed, just like any other time on Kiwi Experience! But if you are spending extra time anywhere along our route, it’s best to make sure you’ve booked your additional nights’ accommodation in yourself. Accommodation availability around the country is very limited at this time of year!
