CLOTHING<br />

Dress is informal and relaxed on most occasions. Smart casual clothes<br />

are acceptable at most restaurants. The seasons are more pronounced<br />

and the weather is more changeable. In summer a jacket and sweater<br />

should be included in your luggage should the weather turn cooler or<br />

you visit higher altitudes. You can expect some rain, so also include<br />

a light rainproof jacket or coat. If visiting between May to September,<br />

pack warm winter garments and layer your clothing. You will have the<br />

option to relax and unwind in thermal hot pools so don’t forget to pack<br />

your swimwear.<br />

HEALTH INSURANCE<br />

New Zealand’s public and private medical/hospital facilities provide a<br />

high standard of treatment and service. However, it is important to note<br />

that services are not free, except in the case of an accident. It is advised<br />

that you arrange your own health insurance before leaving home.<br />

TRAVEL INSURANCE<br />

Travel Insurance for all travellers is strongly recommended. Please<br />

speak to your Travel Agent to arrange this.<br />

CALLING HOME<br />

YABBA is a prepaid calling card that you can use from almost any<br />

touch-tone phone making it easy and convenient to pay for your phone<br />

calls. YABBA offers fantastic calling rates if you need to make a call<br />

while travelling. You pay as you go, giving you more control over your<br />

spending. Additional fee may apply if calling from your hotel.<br />

HOTEL INFORMATION<br />

As a general rule all hotels used on <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Tours</strong> will have as<br />

standard the following room amenities: hair dryers, iron & ironing<br />

boards, tea & coffee making facilities. Therefore it is not necessary for<br />

you to carry these items.<br />

Standard hotel check in time is 2pm. If travellers require immediate<br />

check in on arrival, a pre tour night will need to be purchased in order<br />

for this to be guaranteed.<br />
