Why Magic

The Magic Difference

At Magic Travellers Network, we are often asked what makes Magic different and the simple answer is our travellers can Do More with Magic!

Magic’s unique network allows you to experience all that New Zealand has to offer. Only Magic gives you more freedom and flexibility for an unforgettable and hassle-free adventure. Travel with Magic for unlimited experiences!

It’s your choice.

We believe in choice. Travel with us and you decide where you want go, what you want to do, when you want to do it and where you want to stay. Endless possibilities await…and we’ve made it even easier to stay flexible with your online journey planner MyMagic, meaning you can book your bed, bus and activities online. Flexibility is what we are all about.
 

Don’t get left out in the cold – your bed is guaranteed.

We have a choice accommodation guarantee which means when you hop on the bus our Driver Guides will always find you a bed for the night so you won’t have to sleep under the stars or out in the cold. With all our teams experience and enthusiasm for the tourism industry we have put together a selection of some of the best accommodation providers around New Zealand, so make sure you check the Travellers Guide to All Things Magic to ensure you are staying in the best places.
 

Home grown Driver Guides. 

Our awesome driver guides are home grown New Zealanders and are fanatical about their country. Most of them are independent travellers themselves, so they know what it’s all about, they know what you want and need to know. For them it’s not just about taking you to the ‘must sees’, it’s about telling their stories, offering you their kiwi insights and local knowledge and their knowledge of local places to eat and cool bars – they really know it all and they make your trip like no other, exposing you to the real New Zealand. Our Driver Guides have also undertaken an intense on road training to make them the best in the business. They make your trip an experience of a lifetime.
 

Make Magic Mates.

Magic is more than just a hop-on hop-off backpacker bus, it’s a social network on wheels. Meet loads of people like yourself along the way, share amazing experiences and become mates for a lifetime. Get a head start and meet other Magic travellers on our Facebook page before you even start your travels. The majority of Magic passengers range between 18 and 35, we also get a mix of older passengers, but it doesn’t matter about age on Magic, because you’ll find an awesome crew on all our buses wanting to meet other people and have a good time travelling around New Zealand.
 

Just the Right Shade of Green.

At Magic we know as a business we have an impact on the environment and that’s why we like our passengers to Get Green Feet with Magic while they travel and to help keep New Zealand just as spectacular for future generations. We do this by offering more eco opportunities, from offsetting your carbon footprint, to donating money towards trees or to getting your hands dirty in our very own Magic Forest. Want to get involved? Check out our cool Volunteering options and Environmental Policy.

 

Less Waiting More Doing – Your seat is Guaranteed.
With Magic you don’t have to wait, even in the busy summer season. As long as you book your next days travel at least 24 hours in advance, we will guarantee you a seat on the bus. It just means it’s easy for you hop on & hop off as often as you want, wherever you want.

Magic’s unique national network gets you in touch with the real New Zealand. We take you to places where you can discover untouched nature, immerse yourself in laid back Maori culture, get off the tourist trail and experience another way of life.
