Some key points
Important things to note
Visa Requirements:
- Australia: Most travelers need a visa to enter Australia, like the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or eVisitor visa, depending on your nationality.
- New Zealand: Many travelers need a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA). Ensure you have applied for the necessary visas before traveling.
Customs and Quarantine:
- Both countries have strict biosecurity laws to protect their ecosystems. You must declare food, plants, animal products, or any outdoor equipment you bring.
- Heavy fines can be imposed for failing to declare items, even if they seem harmless.
Weather Variability:
- Australia’s high season is during summer November to March when temperatures range from 25°C to 35°C. The winter season is April to September, in the south 5°C to 15°C. Northern areas stay warmer.
Time Zones:
- Australia has multiple time zones (ranging from UTC+8 to UTC+11), so if you’re traveling between regions, keep this in mind for flight connections.
- New Zealand operates on New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) and observes daylight saving time, which can impact travel schedules.
Driving:
- In both countries, driving is on the left side of the road. Make sure you’re comfortable with this if you plan to rent a car.
- Distances between cities can be long, especially in Australia, so plan fuel stops and rest breaks if embarking on road trips.
Travel Insurance:
- Health care can be costly without insurance, and it’s crucial for covering unexpected events or cancellations. Consider adding travel insurance with coverage for health, cancellations, and activities like adventure sports.
Wildlife Awareness:
- Australia: Be aware of dangerous wildlife like snakes, spiders, and jellyfish in coastal areas. Research local safety guidelines.
- New Zealand: There are fewer dangerous animals, but some outdoor activities can pose risks, like hiking or water sports. Always follow safety instructions.
Currency and Payments:
- Australia uses the Australian Dollar (AUD), while New Zealand uses the New Zealand Dollar (NZD).
- Credit cards are widely accepted in both countries, but it’s a good idea to have some cash for smaller purchases in rural areas.
Electricity:
- Both Australia and New Zealand use Type I plugs with a voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. You may need a power adapter and a voltage converter for your devices.
Tipping Culture:
- Tipping is not a major part of the culture in Australia and New Zealand, but it’s appreciated for good service in restaurants and for guides or drivers.
If something goes wrong
Cancellation Policy
- All deposits are non-refundable, however, you can transfer your deposit to a future trip of your choice.
- If you’re over 60 days away from departure, switching to another trip is easy! Simply send an email to your trip coordinator and move your payment balance over to another trip of your choice. Please note if your accommodations have already been booked the property may apply penalties – our team will always try to book flexible options ,however, if the property has a strict cancellation policy the credit applied to your account will be less any applicable cancellation fees by the property.
- Cancellations within 30-60 days of your departure date are subject to a 50% cancellation fee of the total amount paid after the deposit. The remaining 50% balance will be applied as a credit towards a future trip.
