Most Enjoyable Experience!! Would recommend to any solo travellers. The best ever experience on the wild kiwi tour around the North Island. Met the best group of people, so many new friends for life. A special, special thanks to Siobhan. Cannot thank her enough for making the experience so effortless and enjoyable!!

Just finished doing the NZ discovery tour and it lived up to the slogan of “This could possibly be the best 3 weeks of your life” so many once in life time activities can be done or if you like, you can have a slower pace week with so many hikes and beaches to visit.

I had the best time on my Wild Kiwi tour! The itinerary was definitely intense and go-go-go, but it was so well organised and thoughtfully planned that it never felt too chaotic. We covered so much of the North Island and got such a great overview of each area. It was the perfect balance of structured plans and still having the freedom to make the trip your own. The group dynamic was amazing, and our guide Telli was incredible. So helpful, organised, and genuinely brought the best vibes to the tour. He kept everyone relaxed while making sure we knew the plans and were making the most of every stop. He really created such a fun, positive atmosphere.
Would absolutely recommend to any solo travellers wanting to travel

I had an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was extremely organized and the staff were genuinely warm, helpful, and attentive to every detail. You can tell they truly care about creating a smooth and welcoming environment for travelers.

New Zealand Highlights (North and South Islands) Premium Tour. We had an amazing trip around New Zealand with our cheery guides Tom (South Island) and Claudia (South Island). Wild Kiwi made seeing so much of New Zealand easy and spectacular. So many sights and experiences! We loved the flexibility to plan our adventures and how creative Wild Kiwi was in offering this.

I can't recommend Wild Kiwi enough. Both guides I had for the Big South trip were fantastic, helpful, and fun! Claudia had so much passion for New Zealand, and Tom was super informative about every place we visited. We saw so much of the South Island and all activities were optional, so was easy to be adventurous or have a quieter day if that's what you needed. The bus journeys might be long but the views were spectacular, and there's lots of stops along the way. I'd recommend this to anyone, but in particular solo travellers, it was a great way to meet new people and make friends whilst exploring this beautiful country.

Trip and adventure of a lifetime with a great bunch! Our tour guide Claudia was super friendly and helpful throughout the journey. "It doesn't get better than this" was something I found myself repeating every day!

I have just finished the 3 week tour and genuinely had the best 3 weeks of my entire life. Every day was different, the scenery was incredible, all the activities I did were so fun. We had Tom, Telli and Daisy, they were the best tour guides I’ve ever had, so funny & friendly and had so much knowledge to share. I would absolutely recommend Wild Kiwi to anyone, it was a once in a lifetime trip and to cover so much in 3 weeks I really felt like I have experienced and seen New Zealand, I had such an insane time.

Best two weeks of my life doing the Big South with Wild Kiwi! Claudia and Daisy were our amazing guides who had so much knowledge and they looked after us all while making the trip so fun for everyone. They brought the best energy and organised so many group activities for us all. Wild Kiwi is an amazing way to see New Zealand in a friendly safe group - I travelled solo to come on this trip but I didn’t feel alone for a single minute once I arrived. I can’t recommend Wild Kiwi enough - memories for life!!!

Did the North Island tour with Tom. I had an amazing time! It was really great to just relax and have everything organised for me. It was also exciting to travel with people from all over the world.

I had an amazing week with our tour guides Tegan and Daisy. It's my first time solo travelling and they couldn't have done any more. They went above and beyond for us. I met amazing people, learned so much and never laughed so much! There are so many different activities and loved everyone of the stops. Everything was easy, well planned and organised. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to see everyone again soon! :)

Just wrapped my first Wild Kiwi week on the Northern route with Tegan as our guide…and wow, what can I say except wow. I’ve travelled for a long time, and been on a lot of tours, and I can easily say this will stick in memory for a lifetime. I revisited a lot of New Zealand that I’ve seen before or activities I’ve done, but this trip will be lasting awesome memories because of the vibe of everyone on the trip and atmosphere Tegan created. Her knowledge and passion of Māori culture, but also all indigenous cultures everywhere, stood out so much. Really made an impact on the trip itself. Places weren’t just places and activities weren’t just activities, this Wild Kiwi trip around the North Island just made it so much more. Hard to put it all into a review really. Hats off to you Tegan for all the energy and passion you bring, don’t ever change! And never let the eel dance die. 😂 Good luck on further adventures!!! To the group that unfortunately had to split up a bit after this week, you all were amazing people to share in an adventure. Sad for this trip to end…but here’s to the next two weeks!
