How Magic Works
Magic Bus offers the best of both worlds for backpackers and independent travellers. You get access to the very best New Zealand has to offer with the flexibility of being able to travel at your own pace and the security of knowing there is always someone on hand to advise you should you require it.
You can get off the coach anywhere on route (not just the overnight stops) and we will pick you up next time a coach comes through. With coaches departing every day on our main circuit, you can plan a trip that takes you 2 weeks or 12 months, or you can throw plans out the window and take each day as it comes!
Just check the latest timetable and see when the next bus comes through. With 24 hours notice Magic Travellers Network guarantees to have a seat for you. If we have to put on another coach to accommodate you, we can, we will and we do! To confirm your onward booking just advise your driver or call any of our offices listed. When calling any of our offices please have your ticket ready as we will need your PNR number, located in the top right hand corner of your ticket.
Accommodation - Your Choice
New Zealand has some of the best YHA, Backpacker Hostels and Camping Grounds in the world. Your Magic driver will provide you with a list of hostels that we can book for you. These hostels vary in size, style and location but they all have one thing in common - they have been highly recommended by our passengers. We will drop you off at the door of these hostels and pick you up on the morning you wish to depart
Meals
Again the choice is yours. Either prepare your own meals at your hostel or camping ground or sample some local and generally very affordable cuisine. Our coaches stop at fresh fruit and vegetable markets and supermarkets where possible so you can stock up and keep costs down. Our drivers will also organise group barbecues some nights and the opportunity to experience a maori ‘hangi’ in Rotorua is not to be missed.
Who Travels With Magic?
A great mix of interesting people who have one thing in common - they want to see the best that New Zealand has to offer in their own time. Their focus is on freedom of choice and that is why there is no group pressure to take part in any activities. Our passengers are independent and free-thinking!.
