“Absolutely loved traveling with Kiwi Experience!”
25th March 2026 - 8 Days South NZ Experience
I did the 8 day Southern Crossing route and my driver guide Tawh was all that I hoped a guide would be -- very knowledgeable, fun, flexible, and caring (and a safe driver with great playlists haha!). You can tell that he truly loves his country and sharing it with all of us. The group size of 15 of us was perfect, not too big, which I appreciated. For this being my first solo trip, I liked that everything was planned out for me, definitely made it a stress free experience. Would have loved to do a 2 week tour, so I’ll be back for the North Island!!!

27th March 2026 - 19 Days Auckland to Christchurch Experience
I had the most brilliant time travelling across New Zealand with Kiwi Experience. The drivers were brilliant. They were always helpful and friendly. The company helped organise lots of fun activities for discounted prices. They were always extremely helpful. I met some incredible people travelling. I certainly made some wonderful memories. Would highly recommend using their services to help you explore New Zealand.

“Lovely trip”
2nd April 2026 - 15 Days South NZ Experience
Loved my Kiwi Experience South 15 day tour. Our tour guide Ricky was exceptional, truly made the trip one to remember and was so knowledgeable! Enjoyed all of our stops however would have loved to have spent more time in Lake Tekapo rather than only passing through on the drive back to Christchurch but that’s my only comment. Accommodation and breakfasts were all great. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering it!

“One of the best tours!!”
28th March 2026 - 24 Days Auckland to Christchurch Experience
Great way to see New Zealand!I booked the kiwi experience as a 1st time solo traveller and would highly recommend. The pre-planned route made it very easy to see the best of the North and South Island without the stress of renting a car / navigating / planning. It was also a great way to meet other solo travellers and make friends along the way.I'd like to personally thank Frosty - my bus driver through the majority of the trip. He was fantastic and went above and beyond for the travellers on the bus. Each day he would lay out our itinerary in a WhatsApp group and provide advice on excursions / activities to book. He was very approachable and able to provide a lot of advice based on his experience in tourism. He also joined us for a number of activities and became a friend to all of us.My only criticism of the kiwi experience is the slight lack of flexibility. I was under the impression that the 'hop on hop off service' meant that there would be at least 1 bus service every day, however the buses arrived infrequently, usually with within 1 or 3-4 days. This meant that I only got to stay in certain locations for 1 night, and on occasion it felt a bit rushed.I would also recommend booking your accommodation ahead of time, as hostels filled up very quickly, and on occasion travellers were forced to find alternative accommodation (e.g Airbnb or hotel) which was more expensive. Certain excursions also became fully booked, so if there is a particular activity you are interested in, definitely book it in advance.Overall it was a great way to see New Zealand and I absolutely loved it.
