which bus company is the best and chepest to travel New Zealand?

Question

Which Bus company would be the best and cheapest to travel all of New Zealand? Why? Does anyone know of a good website to find the best hostels? How are the prices in New Zealand? I heard that it's exspensive their.

Answer 1

Intercity does a flexi-pass that's good value, or there are other buses that you can use in parts of NZ, e.g. Atomic Shuttles, Cook Connection, etc. Or there are hop-on, hop-off tours like Kiwi Experience and Magic Bus, but I think that would work out more expensive. I used a flexi-pass, plus a few trips with other operators.

The best websites for hostels are http://www.bbh.co.nz and http://www.yha.co.nz.
