WHAT TO WEAR IN NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is typically an informal place. So bring plenty of comfortable,
casual clothes, capable of keeping you warm on cool evenings. Most bars and
restaurants do have a dress code, but, again, this is commonly just smart
casual. With so many outdoor activities available, it is recommended that you
bring: swimming gear, hiking shoes, a warm top, rainwear, sunglasses, and
plenty of sunscreen. Please note: make sure you read the gear list for the
tour you have booked.
