Kiwi Traveller Launches Hop on and Hop off services between Auckland and Wellington (And Wellington to Auckland)

Rotorua, New Zealand, September 12, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Kiwi Traveller – one of New Zealand’s favourite coach companies today announced the launch of their new Hop on and Hop off services between Wellington and Auckland .

Kiwi Traveller managing director Chris Barber said today “It’s about time that backpackers and locals alike were given an alternative option  now that the Overlander train service has been withdrawn. Kiwis are not willing to pay lots of money for an intercity service that resembles the old styles of Kiwi Experience, Magic Bus, Stray and Newman’s. Kiwi Traveller will give customers a first class service at a really good price".

The new tickets that Kiwi Traveller have offered are priced at NZD 119 per person and enable passengers to hop on and hop off between Wellington and Auckland at a leisurely pace.

Some of the highlights of this trip are
Auckland: Major city, international airport and New Zealand’s city of sails.
Rotorua: Maori culture, Hangi, Haka and geysers
Lake Taupo: Skydiving, snowboarding and backpacking.
Turangi: Fishing, canoeing and rivers.
National Park: Mount Ruapehu, Tongariro Crossing, hiking, walks, Whakapapa, Turoa, Skiing, Snowboarding, Whanganui, river
Ohakune: Carrots and snow
Palmerston North, students, beer and motor racing
Kapiti: Kapiti Island, Paraparaumu, Otaki, Levin
Wellington: Peter Jackson, lord of the rings, king Kong, Te papa
And the list goes on
