It’s A Wild Kiwi Thing

We are shaking up adventure travel in New Zealand and Oz for backpackers; offering the next level in backpacker tour companies in New Zealand and Australia. Wild Kiwi is fast becoming one of the best ways to experience adventure travel in this epic slice of the world. While most affordable Oz and New Zealand tours involve travelling in a coach with a large group, we offer tours that accommodate small groups of like-minded adventure travellers (maximum 18 people) in a flashpacker style vehicle. If you’re looking for the affordability of other backpacker bus tours but with that intimate group size and travel style which will see you relaxing comfortably as you hit the open road, you’ll love the Wild Kiwi way.

Off (And On) The Beaten Track

While we believe that travelling off the beaten track is one of the best ways to explore and experience a new country, we also know that you’ve travelled all the way to the southern hemisphere for some pretty epic reasons. And we couldn’t possibly let you leave our little slice of paradise without showing you those too. Whether you want to see the mind-blowing geothermal activity in Rotorua, witness the incredible glow worms in Waitomo Caves, or see the almighty Mt Aoraki (aka Mt Cook) in all it’s natural glory, we’ll take you there. And the same goes when it comes to backpacking in Straya.

You’ll visit renowned destinations without the need to worry about the logistics of how and when to go there or who’s on your epic little travel team, because we’ve got you covered. And the best bit? Our local guides are sure to make recommendations or stops along the way to help you experience a few lesser known destinations en route.
