Kiwi Experience

AT A GLANCE

Kiwi Experience is the original adventure travel network offering backpackers and like minded travellers some of the most unforgetable experiences on the planet.  Kiwi Experience is developed for travellers by travellers, so forget about tired old routine tours!  Their extensive travel network throughout New Zealand offers the freedom and flexibility to hop on and off the bus along the way! 

Why Kiwi Experience?

Awesome Driver Guides - They make the difference between a regular tour and a true experience!  The Kiwi Experience driver guides come from all walks of life and are passionate about showing off their country. Along with full commentary, they will give you advice on activity options, reserve beds for you at hostels, make regular supermarket stops and lead the way for those keen to socialise!

Extensive Network - Kiwi Experiences extensive network covers all of NZ from top to bottom.  As well as the 21 places they stop overnight at, there are loads of places to get off at along the way if you have the time.  All of the passes are valid for 12 months so they offer you the freedom and flexibility to hop on and off anywhere along the way and spend as much time as you like in each place.  We reckon the best way to discover a country is to get out there and check out things that aren't always on a map - so get out there amoungst it and immerse yourself in our NZ culture.

FREE Inclusions - Kiwi Experience include loads of unique experiences in the ticket price so if you’re on a tight budget you don’t have to spend extra money to have a great time!   They don't just include walks...
