Tour Guides

I cannot recommend Wild Kiwi enough, the guides are outstanding, shoutout Claudia and Daisy, the options for activities are plentiful and the people are sensational 👌

I did the Premium - New Zealand Highlights in January 2025 with Wild Kiwi and had an incredible time. What a country! Incredible landscapes, vibrant culture, cool towns, and great infrastructure. I got lucky with two great groups on both the North and South islands.
Our South Island guide, (Big) Ben, made this trip exceptional. Ben's knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for New Zealand shone through. He ensured that every part of our journey was memorable, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of each destination. Ben's ability to connect with the group and his unfaltering energy and timing turned our trip into a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
If I had to make one recommendation to Wild Kiwi, it would be to add more items to the tour inclusions. Having said that, I understand that different individuals will want to customize their trips in different ways.
I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the highlights of New Zealand. And if you get Ben as your guide, consider yourself lucky.

I had an amazing week with our tour guides Tegan and Daisy. It's my first time solo travelling and they couldn't have done any more. They went above and beyond for us. I met amazing people, learned so much and never laughed so much! There are so many different activities and loved everyone of the stops. Everything was easy, well planned and organised. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to see everyone again soon! :)

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.
