Backpacker Bus Adventure Tours

Backpacker bus tours have planned itineraries and stop over night at prearranged destinations depending on your tour. What's good about these tours is that if you particularly like where you are and want to stay for a few more days, Get off and wait for the next bus to come along. So check schedules to see how often their buses pass through and if there is any additional costs for jumping on and off buses.

Another good reason for getting off a bus is that if you didn't choose your fellow passengers and find current traveling companions lacking in anyway, get off and wait for the next bus to come along. Don't suffer the remainder of the trip with a bus load of pocket protector wearing backpackers.

Accommodation is pre-booked but generally not prepaid so make sure you get firm prices and ask if there are any extras. Food also is often an additional extra cost to your trip. Remember the bigger the super market or store, the cheaper the food. Another bonus for backpacker buses is that they can get you cheaper fares for activities on their route around New Zealand.
