As New Zealand is an outdoorsy destination, you’ll want to bring good hiking shoes, practical clothes and a swimsuit. There isn’t a strict dress code in New Zealand but the weather can be a little unpredictable so packing light layers and a waterproof jacket is recommended. The North Island is generally warmer than the South with an average difference of 6°C. You will need thicker layers if you are visiting in New Zealand’s winter (June to August), as well as for visiting glaciers and fjords.
When travelling to New Zealand, pack essentials like your passport, credit/debit cards and New Zealand Dollars, sunscreen, any medications and a mini first aid kit. Should you run out of anything, it’s easy to top up as you’ll find shops almost everywhere in New Zealand - especially in major cities like Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown.
