Powder Skiing New Zealand Tour – Safety

Safety:

Safety is a top priority throughout our days of fun activities. The country of New Zealand as a whole is very safe. And, the communities where we visit on our trip is a very safe in general.

Currency and Money:

New Zealand uses the New Zealand dollar (the Kiwi), which is equivalent to about $0.75 USD. Most businesses also take foreign currency like the Australian Dollar and the US Dollar. You can exchange money at a local bank in Queenstown or at the airport as you travel. ATMs are available at locations around the downtown area. Visa credit cards are also widely accepted.

Medical Facilities

Most simple health treatments and visits are covered by New Zealand’s government. However, travel insurance is highly recommended to cover what is not.

Medivac helicopter and several modern ambulance/paramedic services. Procedures requiring payment at the time of service can be reimbursed via your Travel Insurance or international health insurance using the receipts collected at the hospital or clinic.

Transportation

Kick back and enjoy the ride. We provide airport transfers and daily transport to the local resorts and off snow activities. All drive times are short, and the scenery is so breathtaking you’re attention will be captivated along the way.
