Local suppliers, tailored to your journey
We partner with the world’s leading travel networks and legendary hop-on/hop-off operators to ensure your trip is safe, flexible, and packed with like-minded travelers. We partner with the world’s best networks to give you the ultimate freedom on the road.
In Australia, Greyhound is the definitive, classic network for cruising the ultimate backpacker route down the East Coast. If you are heading to New Zealand, Kiwi Experience and Stray offer epic, flexible hop-on/hop-off buses that hit everything from major tourist hot spots to off-the-beaten-path wilderness.
For adventures across Central and South America, Bamba Experience provides independent hop-on/hop-off passes that seamlessly combine local transport, shuttles, and handpicked adventure activities. If you are focusing specifically on Peru and Bolivia, Peru Hop offers the ultimate stress-free way to explore the Andes, complete with local guides and seamless border crossings.
Finally, if you are exploring South Africa, Baz Bus delivers a safe, social, and incredibly convenient door-to-door backpacker bus network running right across the country.
What makes these suppliers special? Most of them run on a flexible Hop-On / Hop-Off framework. You get a set route with pre-mapped highlights, but you control the timeline. Spend an extra week on a beach you love, or move on early when you're ready for the next adventure—just tell the network when you're ready to catch the next bus!

Frequently asked questions
Most hop-on/hop-off networks guarantee you a dorm bed at their designated partner hostel for at least your first night in a new location, even if you change your schedule last minute. If you stay longer, you just manage your own booking through their app.
This is the ultimate perk of hop-on/hop-off systems like Baz Bus. They completely bypass public transit terminals and provide strict door-to-door service, dropping you off and picking you up directly at the gates of over 200 partner hostels and lodges.
A hop-on, hop-off pass lets you buy one ticket for a long journey but break it up into smaller trips. Instead of riding all the way to the end, you can hop off the bus at any town you like, stay for a few days, and then hop back on a later bus when you are ready to move on.
In South America for example, these passes usually follow a set route (like traveling from Lima to Cusco). Once you buy the pass, it is typically valid for a whole year, giving you plenty of time to explore at your own pace. But in Australia, passes are based on time rather than routes. You buy a pass for a specific number of days (like 15, 30, or 60 days), and you get unlimited rides anywhere on the network until your time runs out.
Whether a pass is worth it depends on how much you value convenience and safety. Public buses are often slightly cheaper if you book them one by one, but they come with extra stress. You have to navigate busy local stations, buy tickets in foreign languages, and pay for taxis to get from the bus station to your hostel.
Bus passes are popular because they make travel much simpler and safer.
