Busses

Newmans Coach in the South Island

There are several bus companies that specially cater to tourists at reasonable fares.  This also allows tourists to observe the lush green pastures of New Zealand, as well as the cows, ostrich farms, and sheep.

The main bus company is Intercity buses, which covers all of NZ. You can get big discounts and deals if booked in advanced. One good thing is that you can buy tickets based on hours, makes it cheaper. Another tip when you cross the islands, use Bluebridge and not Interislander, cheaper and locally owned.
