FAQ's:
**Accommodations: 4-star hotels in Queenstown, Rotorua, and Auckland with double occupancy rooms.
**Meals: A quality breakfast is included daily. Two quality group dinners and one group lunch are also included. Other lunches and dinners are not provided because we are on the go so much that we like to leave it up to each individual where and when they eat each day.
**Health/Covid: All attendees are required to meet local health/covid protocols. It's a wild world right now and we can't control what each separate government is going to require nor what each individual will feel about that requirement, so be in-the-know
here and get
travel insurance if you're worried.
**Visa Requirements: All attendees are required to know the entry requirements for themselves individually. US citizens need to go
here and acquire the needed NZeTA as well as the IVL (takes about 5 mins and costs approx. $30 USD).
**Getting There: E Z P Z ;) Trip starts in Queenstown (ZQN) so fly into there and then fly out of Auckland (AKL). We suggest checking
Expedia,
Booking, & Google Flights to find the best rates.
**How firm is the Itinerary? There are countless things to do in New Zealand and we'll make sure your group experiences the ones best for you! Some of the top excursions are booked in advance and are firm, but this is your trip! If there's something you don't want to participate in or something else you'd rather do, we'll help you do that! We'll stick to the itinerary for all those who want to join the main group.
