How It Works

I recently went on the South Island Escape with my friend and highly recommend Wild Kiwi! From the beginning, I appreciated how the admin team were very responsive and thorough leading up to the tour.
I had the most wonderful trip which truly exceeded my expectations as we went to so many stunning places and did heaps of activities.
Our highly experienced and incredible tour guide, Ben, was welcoming, enjoyed sharing his local knowledge and always happily answered our questions. He was also very organised, an excellent driver, and had a great sense of humour!
I loved that the small group size made the tour feel like a fun road trip. It was amazing to travel with such friendly people of different ages and backgrounds, with everyone looking out for each other.
Thank you to everyone at Wild Kiwi who made this fantastic trip possible.

Genuinely had the most amazing two weeks of my life on the big south trip. We were so well looked after the only thing we had to think about was what activities to do the following day. Tom was a fantastic tour guide, always up for a laugh, very knowledgeable and just one of the gang! The small group sizes on Wild Kiwi trips made it really easy to get to know people. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough, thanks for the best two weeks guys, I will definitely be back again for the north island :-)

This is a MUST do for those wanting to see New Zealand, have shorter time limits and want to pack a bunch in. From the get go, the tour was so well organised, with Claudia leading the way and making sure everyone was looked after. With a small group, it really helped with dynamics and was able to create a great team unit with so much energy throughout. A lot of the activities are additional costs but is completely up to you what you do, with no pressure whatsoever to do certain things. Comfy bus with good aircon and the hostels were comfy as well. Breakfast was continental style but you could request certain things if you wanted them. Claudia made this trip super special with her buzzing energy, vast knowledge and friendly demeanour

I've had the absolute best week on Wild Kiwi Tours with Tegan as our guide on the South Island for a week! We very quickly felt like a family with Tegan's hilarious bus activities bringing us together. The tour was awesome, with many great views, activities and fascinating teaching of the Māori culture courtesy of Tegan's extensive knowledge which made the experience extremely engaging. Despite extreme weather conditions stopping us from getting to Franz Josef and an extra couple nights in Queenstown it was still a brilliant trip. Huuuuuge thankyou to Wild Kiwi Yours and especially to Tegan for making it such a joy!
