6 ‘Other’ Reasons to Visit New Zealand

New Zealand is one of those “big dream” destinations that everyone “would love to” travel to. To Smarter Travel’s Caroline Morse that doesn’t come as a surprise.

1. It’s Not as Far As You Think: From North America it actually is only 12 to 14 hours by plane. And you’ll be fed delicious Kiwi-inspired cuisine for dinner and breakfast, paired with all the delicious New Zealand wine that you can drink”, according to Morse. For North Americans the exchange rate also is favourable.

2. The People Are Incredibly Nice: Morse tells of her experience with a Christchurch taxi driver, who insisted on knocking a few dollars off the bill because he had gone a slightly longer route by accident.

3. It’s Easy to Visit: You don’t have to do a lot of prep work to visit New Zealand. You don’t need any out of the ordinary vaccines and many countries don’t need a special tourist visa.

4. It’s Safe: New Zealand is a great option if you’re a little nervous about safety and if you’re a solo traveller.

5. There’s Something for Everyone: “People with all kinds of interests will find plenty to do there—whether you want extreme adventure, culinary delights, or to follow in the footsteps of hobbits, you’ll find a new activity to do every day of the year.”

Morse also highlights the favourable exchange rate for North Americans.
