    ** NOTE: Thank you so much to everyone who commented about sharks around NZ! When I spoke about the absence of them, I was thinking about New Zealand's stunning lakes, not the incredible coastline. I should've made that clear in the video 😊Thanks again to all the commenters keeping visitors safe and informed! Have a great day, hope you enjoyed the video - Phoebe x **

I'm a NZder born and bred and have never been to the South island and explore my own backyard. With the closure of borders we are finally doing it! The videos you have shared are so upbeat and have definitely got us excited!

    Amazing summary and some great tips for visiting the wonderful, Aotearoa. Covers every important detail tourist need when visiting the country. But don't forget the two important's during winter, wet weather gear and a really warm, waterproof jacket. The weather is usually very wet and rains a lot in Winter and can be really cold, sometimes even during Summer. Especially some of the more southern regions. Great video

    New Zealand has ACC coverage (private medical insurance) for all ‘accidents’ requiring hospital admission. Look it up.

    • @paulsmith6184
      @paulsmith6184 4 роки тому +2

      ACC stands for the Accident Compensation Corporation. It is a Government department and is designed to cover any accident costs for Kiwis and (I think???) visitors. Pays to check out what visitors need to cover themselves for with travel insurance. It might not be as bad as you think. Be assured though, you won't be asked to prove you can pay for hospital treatment (accidental) before you are treated. I have heard some countries will leave you lying on a gurney if you can't prove you can pay. That won't happen in NZ.

  • @duncanupjohn1481
    @duncanupjohn1481 4 роки тому +1

    As a Kiwi I enjoy watching videos such as this and the advice given. Your advice to travellers is EXCELLENT.
    3 Comments though :
    1: Travel insurance is a must. However, if you have any accident in New Zealand the MAJORITY of your medical costs will be covered by by our Accident Compensation Scheme (ACC). This is a "No Faults" scheme.
    2: There are sharks around New Zealand. They rarely cause an issue.
    3: Snow - you will mainly encounter this in the South Island high country during winter and the central North Island. Problems with roads rarely last more than a couple of days at a time.

    • @sailorman8668
      @sailorman8668 4 роки тому +1

      The summer months are December, January and February.
      February is considered the month with the most settled weather, and probably the best month for visiting New Zealand, as the kids are back at school and everyone's back at work after their summer holidays.

    • @duncanupjohn1481
