    The trip was great and definitely worth it. I got blessed with a great group of people on the tour. And the guide ‘telli’ was an awesome guy, very chill, talkative and fun of course. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

  • Highly recommend!

    I had an amazing experience on this tour and would definitely recommend going with wild kiwi! It was really well organised so you see a lot of the main sights. Even things like where you stop for lunch/loo breaks are planned so that they’re in a nice town or at viewpoints. Since it’s a small tour it’s easy to get to know everyone in your group which was really great as a solo traveller. The whole experience felt personalised since it was a small group and because you can choose the activities you do. I had Siobhan and she was a brilliant guide. She knew so much about the history of everywhere we visited, and had tons of recommendations on what to do + where to eat in each town. She had great advice about which activities were the best to do, and organised all the activity bookings for us. She was just an all round lovely person! Overall a 10/10 experience and I would definitely go with wild kiwi again

    I had the best 2 weeks in the north and south island of NZ with Siobhan! She was very easy to get along with and brought such a good chilled, friendly vibe to the group! She also knew so much about the area so could answer any questions we had about the culture or places we visited throughout the journey. The organisation of the activities was super easy as it was all taken care of by Siobhan, making the process super smooth. Overall I couldn’t really fault the experience and would 100% love to do another trip with Wild Kiwi + Siobhan again!

  • Fantastic trip around the South Island!!

    Best experience!! Our tour guide, V, was incredible - she was super friendly and accommodating. Would totally recommend, the bus was really comfy, and the views were amazing. There’s a wide range of activities to choose from, which your guide sorts the booking of. Overall, the trip was perfect with many friendships and memories for life!

    My Wild Kiwi Southern Voyager tour surpassed all expectations. It was incredibly well organised and our tour guide V was so knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her love of NZ with us. There were so many activities to choose from - I wish I had signed up for longer than 7 days! I’d recommend Wild Kiwi to anyone wanting to explore NZ.

    It was a really great experience. I had already done a tour with Wild Kiwi on the North Island the week before and it continued to be incredibly beautiful. There were again really many offers we could make and our tour guide Vendula did everything in her power to implement everything we wanted. She also explained what we see and worked in some background knowledge on the way. Mega good! I was able to fully enjoy the journey and didn't have to worry about anything. And the group was super cool, too. It has really developed a great cohesion!

    I spent a week exploring the southern part of New Zealand’s South Island with Wild Kiwi Tours, and it was an amazing experience. Tom, our guide, made the trip truly unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, organized, and always in a great mood. Even though the weather wasn’t the best during the last few days, it was still absolutely beautiful and we made the most of every moment. I highly recommend Wild Kiwi Tours to anyone wanting a fun and well-organized way to see New Zealand. Thank you, Tom — you’re the best!
