Having all sorts of adventure activities and unusual tours available in a country like New Zealand may suggest that travel expenses can be insurmountable for a traveler. These tips will help you save on trifles to enjoy the discarded money at the SkyCity casino or on a parachute jump over Taupo.
Book Nakedbus in advance
If you plan to travel a lot (and who doesn't?) And are not set up to hitchhiking (this is legal in New Zealand, if you don’t do it on the highway), booking Nakedbus is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to travel around the country, although sometimes Intercity offers interesting prices.
Skip the island
It sounds weird, but actually it is a practical way to save money in New Zealand. If you are planning to start your trip to Queenstown, then prefer South Island and its nature: Milford Sound, pancake stones, firefly caves.
A flight to North Island is inexpensive thanks to Grabaseat airlines, but additional hundreds of dollars can come in handy for budget travelers. No matter how much time you have to stay in the country, you will go crazy trying to see absolutely everything.
Free attractions are everywhere
Cathedral Cove Bay and Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula are within walking distance of each other and are free for everyone. If you want to walk along Rotorua and smell the sulfur, then go to the park Kuyrau. Unlike some countries, New Zealand does not charge for tourist visits to the mountains (for example, Taranaki) or the Great Walks walking tour, although entry to the mountain huts can be costly during the peak season.
Make the internet fast
Naturally, in New Zealand there is the Internet and an abundance of Wi-Fi, but many travelers report slow, scattered connections for downloading videos, watching movies, and even watching Instagram. Unlimited Internet is very expensive, but Starbucks has no limits ... as long as you buy drinks.
Choose the right alcohol
Many hostels offer vouchers for drinks and discounts in bars with which they cooperate. There are no free drinks at the casino, but generally avoid buying cocktails and prefer local wine (there are many wineries nearby!) And beer. Tui may not be a favorite with some tourists, but one cannot deny that they have the funniest billboards in the country.
Check free accommodation options
Have you ever drank unpasteurized milk or ate fruit straight from the tree? You can not only get cognitive experience during your work day or vacation in New Zealand, but you will also eat well. WWOOFing organic farm workers offer memberships with access to the contact information of hundreds of willing owners for just NZ $ 40 for two.
In addition, there are certain places outside the official campgrounds where tourists are allowed to park campers or just set up a tent for the night. Camping Freedom, as it is known in New Zealand, is usually tolerant to a large number of tourists, but in recent years has received a bad reputation because of the growth of debris and waste.
