Stray - New Zealand Backpackers Bus

On Feb. 25th my wife and I very much enjoyed the free Christchurch Bike Tour offered by STRAY each Thursday at 11 a.m. Stumpy was an excellent guide through the whole tour. We very much liked Stumpys explanations and comments. We went along the streets of Christchurch, biked through Hagley's Park all along Avon River. Had a cool beer in the end. Thanks to Stumpy and to STRAY for a wonderful tour.

i was in new zealand for about 4 weeks in january and early february. i did the Moe pass and was on Rob's bus for 3 weeks starting in Auckland. I had an awesome time on both the north and south island. Rob took us to some some places way off the beaten track away from the big tour buses and we got to see parts of new zealand that most tourists have never even heard of. If you want to see new zealand with great people then stray is definitely your best choice. being on stray gets you discounts on tons of activities and you will not be disappointed. if your expecting to be spoon fed like a child then don't pick stray, and save your fellow travellors from listening to you whine.

Just got back to UK from my travels to NZ,OZ,Fiji & US. Had a brilliant time om y Stray journey around NZ. Especially the South Island where I had the best driver possible in Natalie who was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to entertain the whole group. She is so easy to get on with and made it easy for everyone on the bus to get on with. I had Honey also for a couple days of my trip and she was awesome as well. Thanks again for some great memories ladies. I will defo go back on the Stray tour again on my next visit to such a beautiful country. All the best from Tom (the guy who sprained his ankle on Mount Tongiro !)

Aweseom time with stray pure quality had one driver all the way through, great cultural experinces and the scenery was great, they take you to some great hidden spots!
Definitely do stray you cant go wrong!

Gollum, you rock! Thanks for a great trip!

Hey everybody do Stumpy's free bike tour of Christchurch! It's a blast, great way to spend an afternoon. I did it the day before I started my stray pass, and I knew by the end of it I had chosen the right company. Thanks Stumpy!

I had an incredible experience with Stray and particularly with our driver Scratch on the Ron pass recently. Stray runs a great organization and Scratch was a plethora of local knowledge and "insight". I enjoyed my time so much that I even followed up with two weeks in a Spaceship. I would recommend Stray to anyone without a doubt.

Had a great time with stray on both islands. Definately recommend to friends and also to make sure you have enough time to spend a few extra nights here and there.

having just spent 2 months travelling around new zealand i have to say i have had a blast. i take so many memories with me the people i've met and the places i've been barrytown with python, queenstown with fergburgers and teapots and karoke in makarora with metro we 'had the time of our lives' and who could forget uncle boys the best nights sleep ever!thanks in particular to aerial and cougar, metro and the trainees kiefer, hoff and cas

Finally got around to doing the south island with stray. Had chooks all the way round, just wanted to say, Thanks chooks you were AWESOME. Fun, enthusiastic, laid back and always up for a bit of mischief!! fave stops were baz-vegas and karaoke in makarora/"makarena". The crowd on the bus were awesome and because of chooks i did the ledge bungy and was terrifed out of my skin but very prowd. thanks stray its been 'sweet as'
