New Zealand is one of the countries where hop-on hop-off buses really took off, especially for backpackers, making it easy to meet other travellers but still giving the freedom to choose your schedule and accommodation. They go to surprisingly remote and adventurous destinations, like for example the Stray Bus, linking in with other travel providers for additional activities.
