Where unspoiled wilderness and modern, sophisticated cities meet.

From the tropical golden sand beaches of the North Island to the plunging, deep waters of Milford Sound at the foot of the South Island, to the bubbling thermal pools of Rotorua, this is a land of wild and vivid contrasts. You’ll feel you are the first to discover these islands of calm, this safe haven of natural wonder.

Wildlife

Nature-lovers feel drawn to this country. Spot New Zealand’s unusual and protected flightless bird, the kiwi. Visitors and locals alike love to dolphin watch in the far North, while the beautiful Kaikoura Coast on the South Island is renowned for the pods of giant sperm whales, humpbacks, and even orcas.

Adrenalin-Fueled Adventures

Get your heart thumping with one of many adventure sports—on water, land or in the air. In Queenstown, take a jet boat for a spin, or give quad (4-wheel) biking a try. Like New Zealand’s bungy-jump innovation, there’s always an adventure awaiting!

Golfing

No other place offers more golf course land per person than New Zealand—a nation of golf-lovers with over 400 golf courses.

Taking Home a Piece of Us

Shopping in New Zealand offers a vast array of goods—from Maori crafts to the finest Merino designer wool suits.

Wining & Dining in New Zealand

Tasting a traditional Maori “Hangi”—food from an earthen oven heated with red hot stones—is a must. Dine on fresh scallops, whitebait and crayfish, or perennial favorite, New Zealand lamb. A perfect complement to any fine meal is one of New Zealand’s award-winning Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs or Rieslings—enjoy!

Places to Stay

New Zealand offers an outstanding choice of accommodation—from luxury lodges of international acclaim to city hotels and boutique B&Bs.

Fully Escorted & Mini Tours

An easy way to get around New Zealand is to take a fully escorted vacation with an expert guide, or a mini tour including highlights of the North and South islands. All of our tours offer accommodation choices to suit your budget. Some tours include a self-drive option, providing the freedom to drive yourself.

Auckland & Bay of Islands

From the cosmopolitan hub of Auckland to the expanse of 90-Mile Beach, Northland and Bay of Islands offer a mix of sailing, fishing, islands and beaches.

Rotorua & Taupo

Discover active volcanos, thermal mineral pools and underground Glowworm Grottos in this extraordinarily diverse area. See a Maori performance where myths of New Zealand’s heritage are relayed through hypnotic song and dance. For quiet pleasure-seekers, luxury lodges around Rotorua and Taupo welcome you with warm hospitality.

Wellington, Marlborough & Nelson

This region is renowned for its creativity, countryside and extreme coastline. An hour northeast of Wellington is the famous wine region of Martinborough. Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, boasts some of the country’s finest galleries and museums, including Te Papa National Museum. After a 2 1/2 hour cruise through the Marlborough Sounds, you will arrive at Marlborough, another celebrated wine region. Nelson is home to the unique World of Wearable Arts.

Mid South Island – Christchurch, Canterbury & The West Coast

New Zealand is a land of extremes and nowhere is this more obvious than in the middle of the South Island. On one coast is the “garden city” of Christchurch. Ride a punt on the Avon River, glide over the Canterbury Plains in a hot air balloon, or visit the stunning Botanic Gardens. Head north to Kaikoura to see giant sperm whales, dusky dolphins, fur seals and other wildlife. The West Coast’s World Heritage area offers some of nature’s true miracles: glaciers, rainforests, blowholes and Pancake Rocks. For a trip you will never forget, take the TranzAlpine train across the Southern Alps—considered one of the world’s top train journeys.

Queenstown & Fiordland

Around Queenstown, Lakes Wakatipu and Te Anau are picturesque places to kayak, jetboat and sail. Enjoy the adventure scene in Queenstown and try a jetboat ride, bungy jumping, or scenic flight. At Milford Sound, prepare yourself for breathtaking scenery.

New Zealand Information & Travel Info

New Zealand is probably the most dramatic place on earth, with natural beauty difficult to believe. Many people are drawn to the Land of the Long White Cloud by her scenic splendor. The real New Zealand is much more than glistening peaks, serene lakes and boiling mud—it is a people, a culture, a way of life. The unique blend of Maori, Pacific Islander, Pakeha (European descendant) and other nationalities gives a heritage that is rich and varied. It is about the length of the Mississippi River and the width of California.

Passport and Visas

All visitors to New Zealand require a passport valid for at least three months after the planned date of departure. Check with your travel agent for visa requirements.

Currency

The unit of currency is the New Zealand Dollar.

Credit Cards and Traveler's Checks

All major credit cards may be used and NZD travelers’ checks are accepted at hotels, banks and some stores. Banks are open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Goods and Services Tax .

Goods and Services Tax

All goods and services purchased in New Zealand are subject to a 121/2% Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is usually included in the displayed price. Visitors cannot claim refunds on this tax. However, when a supplier agrees to export a major item to a visitor’s home address, GST is not charged on either the goods or the freight

Electricity

The electricity current in New Zealand is 230–240 volts. Electrical appliances will require a round-pin, two-pronged plug adapter. Check your appliances to see if there is a 100–240v switch. If not, you will need a voltage converter. Universal outlets for 240 or 110v shavers are usually found in leading stores.

Departure and Airport Taxes

An Airport User Fee is payable by all travelers departing via the airports of Auckland, Dunedin, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Queenstown and Palmerston North.

Driving in New Zealand

A current international driver’s license or a license of the country of origin is acceptable. Minimum hiring age is 21 years. Please remember to drive on the left hand side of the road.

Tipping

New Zealanders do not depend on tips or gratuities for their income and tips are not expected for normal service, even in restaurants and pubs. However, tipping in appreciation for extra-special service is at your discretion. Service charges are not normally added to hotel or restaurant bills.

What to Pack?

Dress is informal and relaxed on most occasions. Smart casual clothes are acceptable at most restaurants and nightspots. Men are generally not expected to wear suits and ties, except in a few of the top formal bars and restaurants in major cities.

In summer a light jacket or sweater should be included in your luggage should the weather turn cooler or you visit the high country. You can expect some rain, so include a light waterproof jacket or coat. Pack warm winter clothing if visiting between May and September.

Accommodation

To assist you with the selection of your accommodation, Qantas Vacations has devised its own rating system enabling you to compare each property. Ratings are provided solely for the guidance of our customers and have no equivalent in any other rating system. Properties are assigned a half rating if they are a little extra special in their category. This could be because of location or extra facilities offered. The ratings used apply to the overall quality of the property. Within selected properties, some room categories may vary from the overall property rating.

Standard: Moderate level of accommodation, offering a reasonable range of room amenities and hotel services. Furnished to a comfortable standard, there is an emphasis on quality and comfort.

First Class: Properties in this category offer a superior standard of accommodation with well-appointed bedrooms and public areas. They offer a wide range of facilities enhanced by a high standard of service.

Deluxe: Establishments providing the highest international standards of accommodation and cuisine. With an excellent range of facilities and outstanding service, properties in this category are considered the best available in the country.

Check-in/Check-out Times: In most cases check-in time is 2:00pm and check-out time is usually 11:00am.

Run of House: Unless otherwise stated, all prices are based on “run of house” rooms. This policy entitles the hotel to allocate any room type available to guests.

Climate

The North of New Zealand is sub-tropical. The South may be cooler—snow can be experienced in Winter. If you are traveling in the mountains, be sure to pack layered clothing and a jacket.
