Kiwi Experience tours around New Zealand

Developed by travellers for travellers, the Kiwi Experience is a hop-on, hop-off bus service that will take you to all of New Zealand's best bits.

Buses are easily the most flexible and affordable way of finding your way around New Zealand, which is why nearly every backpacker to set foot there, comes armed with their very own coach pass. you just need to work out what you've GOT to see, then make your way round at your own pace

It's not as simple as it sounds though. There's almost too much to choose from. We're talking whale-watching, surf beaches, boiling mud lakes and plenty of bungy madness... in other words, the experience of a lifetime.

Pass types

Circular Routes

These are the big boys; the passes for those of you who are planning to spend over a month in New Zealand and want to see as much of the country as possible. You'll take in everything from the Bay of Islands in the North to Curio Bay in the South.

Christchurch to Auckland

Most around the world tickets land in either Christchurch or Auckland and leave via the other. If you were just to make the journey in the straightest line possible, you'd miss out on a million easy to reach attractions, which is where these passes come in...

Auckland to Christchurch

These passes are not a million miles away from the Auckland to Christchurch varieties. There is one key difference though. Yes, these passes go from Auckland to Christchurch instead. Ideal for those of you with a slightly different around the world ticket and a desire to see as much as possible without wasting any time or money.

Regional passes: North Island

These passes can be tacked on to any of the others in the above categories and have been created to allow the intrepid few to get a bit off the beaten track and visit some of the North Island's hidden treasures.

Regional passes: South Island

The regional passes for the South Island work as add-ons and in some cases as day trips. From a short trip to Milford Sound to the gloriously named 'Bottom Bus' which explores the real southern wilderness, there are plenty of exciting options here...
