INFOTourism means a great deal to New Zealanders, so services and facilities are some of the best in the world. The variety of accommodations and restaurants along with easy access to tourist information makes this country a super-enjoyable destination. Look for Department of Conservation offices for reliable travel info, and if you plan to ask locals for info, keep in mind you'll need to know at least a little English to communicate. Many of the best things to see and do in New Zealand are free...beaches, national parks in particular. The best time to go is almost anytime...Spring Summer or Fall, and even Winter if you wand to ski. Spring Summer and Fall are from September to April...seasons are in reverse in the Southern Hemisphere country.
Along with tourism, agriculture is important to New Zealanders, and customs is very careful about introduced pests and diseases that could put the farms and orchards at risk. Any fruit, meat, plant or animals must be declared upon entry to New Zealand, and the fines are stiff if you don't. |
