I just finished the southern loop with the hilarious and gorgeous Claudia! She made my first time in Aotearoa a dream. She was so well organised with adjusting the trip accordingly to the weather. I loved that she told stories about the locations, animals and history of the South Island.
The trip itself was filled with a good balance of rest and play, without feeling too overwhelming. I got so much accomplished in just a week though! From skydiving to kayaking to hiking the national park. My group was pretty small with 8 of us but it meant heaps of room on the bus for naps hehe. We all clicked really well, I hope to stay in contact with them and Claudia and maybe even reunite on another wildkiwi adventure!

Claudia is awesome! Her love and care for NZ, her morals and knowledge, how she organised our days, gave us fun and varied options. I loved our entire week! So much fun and very organised. Perfect trip to NZ North island. Thank you very much Claudia xx

Massive shoutout to Claudia from Wild Kiwi Tours!
She was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Claudia made sure we were well looked after the entire trip. Not only was she a super safe and confident driver through winding mountain roads and along stunning coastlines, but she also took the time to guide us through each day, recommending great places to eat and things to do.
It honestly felt like I didn’t have to think, I could fully relax and enjoy the experience while she took care of everything. She truly carried the mental load so we didn’t have to.
What really stood out was how genuinely excited she was to see us ticking things off our bucket list. She even stood by to cheer us on as we went skydiving for the first time, it meant so much. Claudia has such a warm heart, and it shows in everything she does.
Claudia is a beautiful person inside and out, and anyone lucky enough to have her as their tour guide is in for an amazing experience. I would highly recommend Wild Kiwi Tours, and I’m already excited to book my next adventure with them soon!

5/5 stars still feels too low of a rating. Clauds goes above and beyond to not only meet the needs but exceed expectations with my experience on the Southern Island Voyager Tour. For those that are new to solo travelling and don’t know how to start, this is the way to go when it comes to visiting New Zealand hands down.

My tour with Wild Kiwi was incredible – I definitely recommend it! I went on the Southern Voyager tour as I only had one week to explore New Zealand as part of a holiday to Australia too.

Honestly the best tour I have been through Ben was amazing! I 100% recommend to anyone travel single or with friends. I met the most amazing group and the layout / trip set up was good I did the South Island starting and finishing in Christchurch!

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.

Excellent amazing adventure visiting the best country in the world 😁 🏔️Thanks Clauds for being a great guide & showing us around. We really appreciated your passion and care for keeping your beautiful country beautiful. Thanks for such a memorable experience 💚🌳 Kia ora.

I had the most incredible experience on the Southern Loop Wild Kiwi adventure tour, lead by our wonderful tour guide Claudia!! I had never been to New Zealand before, and was looking for a tour that took me to well-known places/experiences & also some favourites that only the locals would know about - and Claudia found this balance perfectly, resulting in an unforgettable week. I’m very grateful for her support, guidance and planning, all of which allowed me to enjoy my week away without having to figure out all the logistics myself. I would 100% recommend Wild Kiwi tours, and you best believe I will be returning sometime soon to explore more of this beautiful country with the Wild Kiwi team 💜

This was an experience of a lifetime for us, we couldn’t have dreamt of a better honeymoon. The bus was comfortable and had charging points which is ideal for the longer days taking photos and videos constantly! Our guide Ben was extremely knowledgeable and had great stories to tell us on our drives throughout the South Island. His humour and relaxed nature made us all gel as a group and have great fun! He also organised all our requests for excursions and the main event for us was our day trip to Milford sound and helicopter scenic tour of Franz Josef. I’ll struggle to see anything as profound as that again! Hotels were all a high standard. Thanks for everything Wild Kiwi we will recommend this company for years to come 😊

Tom gave us an unforgettable experience! Our South Island adventure was nothing short of breathtaking, and the company made it even more special. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to truly experience the natural beauty and spirit of New Zealand.

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!
