- Patrick· October 12th, 2024This trip changed my life. I’ve never had soo much fun in my life and I never imagined I’d get to push myself to do 6 new things I’ve never done before (white water rafting, zip lining, sky diving, bungee jumping, cave exploring, and surfing). I’m still soo sad that it’s over! Telli was a great guide and I had a group that was what dreams are made of. Best trip ever, with my only regret being that I did one week. If I return to do the Southern Island, I’ll ONLY look for Wild Kiwi as an operator. Thank you soo much, much love and appreciation for you guys!!Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- KLKathryn· April 17th, 2024I had an amazing time, and recommend to anyone and everyone. Do it!Trip date: February 2024
- BCBridget· March 16th, 2024This was a great tour, comfy bus, super fun activities, legendary tour guide.Trip date: March 2024
- RZRussell· April 25th, 2023Amazing experience! So smooth and fun! Amazing people! Only downside is most of the activities are not included so there’s a significant additional cost. Once in a lifetime trip!Trip date: April 2023
- PNPhilippe· April 18th, 2023I had a tremendous experience on the Northern Explorer tour with Wild Kiwi. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover as much of the North Island of New Zealand as possible in a short time span. Our tour guide Robbie did an incredible job getting us to and from all our destinations while providing his personal insight into each location to ensure we made the most of our trip. My only regret was not having booked the second leg of the tour through the South Island. Well done!Show moreTrip date: April 2023

- BNBejan· November 24th, 2019Amazing time! T was an awesome guide and met many other great people and friends. Accommodations are ok (mostly hostels) but you're generally on the move and getting as much as you possibly can into the trip. Great activities to choose from - Tongariro Crossing is a great hike (did it in shorts and a hoodie but I recommend gloves), and you'll definitely have the opportunity for multiple activities in a single day.Show moreWild Kiwi commented on this reviewHi, Bejan thanks for your epic review! We are so pleased to hear you had a great time with Wild Kiwi and our amazing guide T!Trip date: November 2019
- JRJennifer· November 1st, 2019This was a brilliant tour and a stress free way to travel with local guided knowledge. Telli was a great tour guide and his horse joke is unforgettable! Good choice of activities offered. The small group made sure this did not feel like a military operation and was a really friendly group with a mix of age ranges! I will be using Wild Kiwi for future trips!Show moreWild Kiwi commented on this reviewHi Jennifer, thanks for your epic review! We are so pleased to hear you had a great time on tour with Wild Kiwi and our guide Telli. We hope to see you again soon :DTrip date: October 2019
