Who is Backpacker Bus?

We’re a group of friendly Kiwis who love to travel around our country. When it comes to New Zealand we’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirt! We’re passionate about sharing New Zealand with visitors and helping them get the most out of their travels.

When we’re not handing out advice and telling stories here, you can find us at our day job, working for NZ’s only 100% Kiwi owned long distance passenger transport company.

From time to time we’ll also share guest blogs from expert travel bloggers all around the world.
