Wild Kiwi Adventure Tours - St Marys Bay

We had an awesome tour of the South Island. We travelled in April and the weather was beaut! Robbie our guide was awesome.

Had an absolutely epic time touring the South Island with Claudia! Would 100% recommend, got to see so much and met really good people along the way. The trip was stress-free, accommodation was comfortable and the atmosphere was inviting. Thanks again Wild Kiwi!

Would highly recommend the Southern Voyager trip in the South Island of New Zealand. Fab Tour Guide Claudia, great-sized small groups for a more personal tour and a really good itinerary. Great value for money, highlights include Milford Sound, Franz Josef Glacier and all of the vineyards around Queenstown! Looking forward to returning to NZ for another trip soon!

Such a fantastic tour and our guide Robbie was such a big part of it. The customizable structure is great. The bus is also a luxury passenger van with wifi, and nice leather seats. Highly recommend!

My Wild Kiwi Northern Voyager trip was the first time I travelled by myself in a group and I loved every second it! What an epic landscape! Our guide Robbie was such a legend too and knew all of the best secret local spots to visit. I would recommend this to people who wanna see this beautiful country. Made lots of new friends too :)

Get me back to NZ. Had an AMAZING tour of the South Island! Such a perfect way to explore New Zealand. I am hoping to get back and do the North Island very soon. Definitely recommend going with Wild Kiwi, its the only way to do it.

Best adventure company by far. I've traveled around New Zealand many times with many different operators, and even lived and worked in New Zealand once upon a time. Out of my many trips around this stunning country, I never had such a fulfilling experience like I did with Wild Kiwi Tours. Firstly, it's Kiwi owned which is great, so you know the care for their country and the compassion of kiwis as a whole blends into the company. You could feel that in every aspect from the incredibly knowledgable guides (Rob and Ben for the win!!!) to the attention to detail in itineraries and off the beaten path kind of experiences. I did 3 weeks with Wild Kiwi, one in the north hitting all of the beach towns and breathtaking sights and 2 weeks around the south island experiencing the wild outdoors. 2 weeks is definitely a MUST for the south if you are an outdoors or adventure lover. Anyways, I digress. Secondly, props to Wild Kiwi for actually breaking down my view of organized tours as I avoid them usually given I think they are too clinical, too crammed, or too messy and party-centric. Wild Kiwi really hit the right balance of a group tour that was a small enough group that felt like an intimate experience, yet big enough where the group really vibed. There were ALWAYS a plethora of options to choose from that fit different people's desires for experiences...you could choose from mellow activities, take time for yourself, go extreme, you name it. And along the way Ben and Rob always made sure to stop off at viewpoints or short excursions and secret spots. They'd constantly be giving us fun facts and info about places that didn't feel regurgitated or robotic, what they told you added value to the experience as a whole. Honestly, Wild Kiwi just changed my whole view on traveling with people as a whole. i usually solo travel, so to be in a small group of fun people looking for exploration and adventure with a great guide and sweet ride... can't beat it really. There wasn't ever a point where I felt I was lacking for something to do, nor did I ever feel pressured into doing anything at all. That was the great thing, the options were there for all budgets and kinds of travelers. As for our trusty steed (van) it was SO much more comfortable than being crammed into a massive bus. Bags were stored in a separate trailer and the seats were spacious. Wifi on board to? Heyooo! And for accommodation being included, it just was so simple to enjoy the experience without figuring all of that out. For the places we stayed, be it lodges or hostels, they were always nice. It wasn't just some cheap place we got crammed into, they were good hostels or places and we always had rooms specifically for our group. Even if there was just a few of us in a larger room, it was only those of us from Wild Kiwi in the room which gave me a ton of peace of mind. I can't say enough except I wish i could go back and do it all again. To end this gush... I'd say if you want to experience the best New Zealand has to offer without the fuss of planning everything and taking medicore transport...do Wild Kiwi. Even as a backpacker, solo traveler, group, couple, whatever. Paying a little more for a tour like this will leave you so happy in the end. Hopefully one day I'll get back to New Zealand, or get a chance to do Wild Kiwi Oz someday! If anyone from Wild Kiwi sees this, give props to Ben and Rob and the whole team. You made a group tour believer out of me haha.

Pure Magic! Spent an incredible 7 days cruising around the South island with Wild Kiwi, our amazing guide Big Ben and a group of incredible people from all over the world. Made memories, made friends, got stuck into nature and did some crazy activities along the way. One of the most spectacular weeks of my life and can't wait to do it again next time I am in New Zealand.
