I had a completely amazing experience on the Kiwi Bus, with lovely new friends, amazing scenery and so many fun activities/things to do!

I would completely recommend the trip for likeminded fun loving, adventure seeking individuals and the company really give you everything you need to make it into an amazing trip for yourself.

But why....?

Hassle-free, Stress Free:

I found that the kiwi experience was extremely hassle & stress free. Albeit it isn’t what I’d deem as real travelling (having travelled through Asia, South America etc) as it is very well organized. However, it alleviates a lot of the harder work/boring bits of travelling e.g. sorting accommodation/things to do and therefore lets you get on with the fun stuff and leaves you enough time to do what you want!! E.g. outdoor activities, drinking and spending time with your new friends!

Every stop brought a new perspective:

I felt that every overnight stop on the trip was worthwhile. To give some examples…Wanaka was just totally scenic and beautiful, like nothing I’d seem before, Christchurch allowed me to learn loads about earthquake destruction and really get a feel for a city hit by such a catastrophic tragedy and River Valley offered a homely/farm stay feel with amazing white water rafting straight outdoors from the accommodation.

Outdoor Activities:

There were a ridiculous amount of new things on offer to do/see. The advantage of being on a long kiwi journey is that the bus drivers can give you good advice about each activity on offer, e.g. they helped me to compare white water rafting for you across the various places it would be available to help me make my decision about where to do it.

Travelling Solo:

If you come on the Kiwi bus alone (like myself and the majority of the others on my bus) you won’t be friendless for very long. I’d estimate 2-3 minutes ☺

All in all, what an amazing month!! I just want to go back now xxx
