We provide budget bus travel at competitive prices, around the South
Island, New Zealand.
We have been transporting kiwis, international visitors and backpackers
around the South Island for nearly 20 years on coaches at economic fares.
We offer some accommodation, and Backpacker pick ups and drop offs.
We will match or better a competitor fare at a comparable time excluding
$1.00 (one dollar) fare.
We may not always be the cheapest bus travel but feel free to contact us
and we will endeavor to match it
On some of our services InterCity is our carrier.

Atomic will better any competitors fare by 10% on a comparable journey eg
morning service against morning service. So please give us the opportunity to match or better any fare out there. (excludes $1 fares)
