Departure and Arrival | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Because the main economic activity of New Zealand are agricultures, so they have strict constrains on many things. Especially, you can't bring any plant and fruit, any thing that might make any dangerous for their cows, sheep and plants.
When you leave New Zealand, you have to pay NZ$25 departure fee. (You can pay at the Bank of New Zealand at ground or 2nd floor.) If you want to take a suitcase with you to aboard air plant, please notice the size and weight of your suitcase. Because before you pass the customer, they will check your suitcase. If they find your suitcase is overweight (The limit is 7kg) or oversize, they will ask you to pay extra pay. |

![]() |
Time Difference | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In winter (March- October), there are 4 hours earlier than Taiwan. But in summer (October- March) , there are 5 hours earlier than Taiwan. Why do they have this difference? Because of Daylight Saving. At the 5th of Oct., they will turn an hour forward, and at the 5th of March, they will turn it back. For Taiwanese, we have to take care of it, because we don't have this problem in our country. Maybe you will miss the bus of air flight, just because you have no idea about this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Traffic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Car: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basically, people use cars for daily transportation. But the driver sit is at right hand side, and the cars drive at left hand side. So you have to notice the difference with Taiwan. At country side, there are not so many cars, so you can drive with International Driving License and your courage. I think it's not so difficult. Only at round about, they don't have traffic light, so you have to notice when you want to pass the round about.
When you sit in the car, you have to tight safety belt. If you want to turn right at the road cross, you have to let the left turn car go first. Buses: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the big cities, the bus service is not bad, but they don't have bus service in small cities. Usually, there are more bus service at Monday to Friday. During the weekend, they don't have so many bus service. If you live in the suburbs, you only have a bus service per hour. In some cities, they have bus service information system, they can show you how long you have to wait fir your bus. It's very convenient.
Trains: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
The buses and trains service are not very good. There are only Auckland to Wellington and back having trains service. There are a train per day, and the price are very closed to air ticket. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
Tips | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
You don't need to pay tips in New Zealand. Everything has included 12.5% GST in it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
Commodity Prices | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The commodity prices are much expensive than Taipei. So when we arrived here, we couldn't get use to the price here. We found only one thing is the same price with Taiwan - the MacDonald's soft pop cone. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
Telephone | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
If you make a local phone call, the price is NZ$0.50. If you make a long distance call, the price depends on the distance. Sometimes is 70 cents, sometimes is NZ$1.20. Basically, there are card phones, you will find it's difficult to find a coin phone. |

About New Zealand - My Feeling
1. Information Center
In New Zealand, every cities have Information Center. In the Information Center, they have the tour information cities introductions and they can help you to book the motels, package tourists and buses. You can ask any questions and they will answer you.
But in Taiwan, we don't have many information center. In some information center in Taiwan, they only have some pictures and nothing else. Basically, the staffs can't speak English. In this situation, how can foreigners ask questions? They don't have booking service, and they don't have many tour information about the city.

關於紐西蘭 - 行程建議
我只有一個禮拜
北島
在Auckland呆上一天(Sky Tower、 Queen Street、 Mission Bay...),往Bay of Islands走繞一圈(Nine Miles Beach)(需2-3天),順便路過Waitangi,經由Waipoua Kauri Forest、Matakohe Kauri Museum,再回到Auckland。
往南前往Rotorua(Wai-o- Taupo Thermal Park、 Maori Hangi)(1-2天),Waitomo Caves(半天),最後在到Taupo(Huka Jet、 Huka Fall)(一天)。

About New Zealand - Independent Travel
Should I go with a tourism group or myself?
If you are young, you can handle long time walking or very tired journey, you can try self-traveling. If you are not so young and you don't like to worry about your schedule, you should go with a tourism group. They arrange your hotel, meals, all you have to do is enjoy your trip. But one thing different, you have to follow their schedule. If you want to stay one more day at some places, you can't. New Zealand is famous for the exciting activities. If you go with a group, you don't have chance to experience it (Such as Bungy jump, glacier hike...so on). So before your trip, make sure what you really want.
Should I go with a partner?

NZ Introduction- Dunedin
位在紐西蘭南島的南端,是Otago區域中的商業中心。人口11萬9千多人中就包括了2萬個學生(大多都是Otago大學的學生)~~氣溫夏天(15-30度)、秋天(10-20度)、冬天(5-15度)、春天(10-20度)。而在這邊有很多很美麗的景點:
Taieri Gorge Railway:沿著Taieri River Gorge的鐵路,適合半日遊的行程。沿途火車會停下來讓你拍照,你也可以選擇繼續延續搭乘到Queenstown,價格NZ$57。
Larnach Castle:全紐西蘭唯一的城堡,一點都沒有城堡的感覺,假如有車的話開車最好,不然參加Tour半天NZ$32。
University of Otago:全紐西蘭最古老的大學,校區分部的很廣,所以你在那邊跟人家問路說要到University of Otago,大家都還會問你是哪一個校區。
- Oct 10 Fri 2003 21:50
NZ Introduction- CHC Gondola
在基督城的Gondola離市區有點距離,所以一般來說不像Queenstown一樣,用走的就可以走到,畢竟Christchurch是南島第一大城。這邊的Gondola位在Heathcote Valley,從市區開車要15分鐘的時間,可以搭Best Attractions express shuttle(全票NZ$15,兒童NZ$10),或是從Colombo St.搭市公車編號28 Lyttelton(NZ$2)前往。
從這邊除了可以從山上看Christchurch外,上面還有餐廳可以吃飯,不過這邊吃飯的價格就一點都不便宜了,所以除非有錢人,不然大可在山下吃就好了。
- Oct 09 Thu 2003 22:56
NZ Introduction-Akaroa
怎麼樣可以到達很有法國風味的Akaroa呢?除了自己開車外,可以選擇Shuttle Bus。
1.Akaroa Shuttle:單公車來回(NZ$20)、一日遊(NZ$35)、午餐遊(NZ$85)。電話:0800500929、E-mail。
2.Akaroa French Connection:公車來回(NZ$20)、一日遊(NZ$40)。電話:0800800575。
基本上他們在路上都有介紹和照相點的短暫停留,加上價格又很接近,所以你只要看你可以的時間就不是問題了。在那邊除了逛逛街外,唯一也是最主要能做的就是參加Harbour Cruises,一趟NZ$39讓你有機會看看海灣和運氣好的話可以看到海豚。電話:0800436574、E-mail。
- Oct 08 Wed 2003 22:53
NZ Introduction- Oamaru
從最早1953年歐洲移民到這邊後,這邊人口不斷的成長變成第九大城,而且也是被稱為紐西蘭最佳的建築。這邊發現的limestone(石灰石),因為材質相當的適合雕刻所以很容易做出各種具有特色的建築。
走在市區中,到處都是limestone的建築物,因為顏色都是白色的,所以也稱為whitestone。這城市也被稱為The Whitestone City(白石城市)。隨意的走在市區你可以發現超過20棟的白石建築,都已經被列為保護的建築了,每棟建築都有自己的特色,所以相當的適合逛逛的。
這邊除了Whitestone聞名外,企鵝也是相當重要的。附近的海邊也可以看到黃眼企鵝及藍色企鵝,根據Information Center的人跟我們說的,平均來說可以看到80-120隻左右說,這樣就比Dunedin的多很多了。
- Oct 07 Tue 2003 22:54
NZ Introduction- Mt. Cook
全紐西蘭最高的山--Mt. Cook,高度3754公尺,高度比起台灣的玉山稍微的低了一點點,不過玉山因為四周都是雄偉的山脈,並沒有什麼平緩的地形,所以看起來感覺非常的高而且攀登上也相當的不容易。但是Mt. Cook因為一旁就是很平坦的一塊地形(就是我們住的旅館所在),就變成由這邊看山的話,怎麼看也沒有那麼一點點雄偉的感覺,感覺上只是一座小小的山,但是事實上卻是全紐西蘭的第一高山~
而山的高度在之前還要高上10公尺,卻因為一次的雪崩一口氣高度崩掉了10公尺,那天原本有不少的人要挑戰攀登到山頂的,就在要出發前發生了雪崩而停止,也因為這樣的好運他們並沒有發生任何的意外~一般這邊要爬山的人都必須要早上4-5點出發,以免來不及在當天回到山下~
而這邊的旅館其實滿多的,但是最平價的Backpackers等級的就只有一家-Mt. Cook YHA,雖然如此,這邊這家可是四星呢,小木屋的建築外加上裡面還有蒸汽浴,感覺的確是相當的令人滿意~所以價格也比其他的YHA貴上5-6元左右,每人大約NZ$29。
- Oct 06 Mon 2003 22:51
NZ Introduction- Larnach Castle
全大洋洲唯一的城堡-Larnach Castle。在我們的印象當中,城堡都是很高聳的建築,四周是高高的尖塔,而外面還有護城河流過,但是在全大洋洲唯一的城堡,卻讓人很失望的一點都不像想像中的城堡。他是一個城堡沒錯,但是給人的感覺更像某人家的大房子而已。城堡建立於1967年,當年是由Barker Family花了12年的時間建立的,他是一個銀行家建在這裡因為這邊的視野好,可以從這邊看到海灣的船進出,所以他就可以在家裡看到更多的船進到海港來的話,表示就有更多賺錢的機會了。
城堡中的房間的不太大,可能是因為當初建的時候,這些厚重的石頭並不容易搬運及處理,所以房間整體來說都不大,有音樂廳、餐廳、女生聊天室、男生聊天室、和大人小孩的寢室,共有約12間的房間在城堡中,大約2個小時的時間就足夠在裡面逛完了,不過可惜的是這邊裡面是禁止拍照的。
到這邊的話,除了自己開車外,就只能參加Tour(NZ$32)了,早上10點離開,到中午12點15回到市區。網址、E-mail。
- Oct 04 Sat 2003 21:57
NZ Introduction- Elm Wildlife Tour
在Dunedin除了可以看到唯一的城堡外,這邊最有名的就是動物的保護了。這邊除了有全世界最小的藍色企鵝、紐西蘭才有的黃眼企鵝外,還有相當少見的皇家信天翁在這邊繁衍下一代,通常他們最後都會在回到他們所產卵的地方,所以每到了繁殖期,整片的區域都會關閉,所以我們就只能遠遠的期待好運。
我們在Otage Peninsula時,除了看到這些動物外,還可以看到海狗(Fur Seals),及海獅(Sea Lions)。我們在下午兩點半出發,參加Elm Wildlife Tour(NZ$49),在半島中司機不斷的介紹各種鳥類的名字,問題是我們就算知道中文,也不知道英文怎麼稱呼~
最新奇的就是我們最後進入私人的區域,在這裡面就在海邊可以看到整群的海狗(Fur Seals)就在岸上休息,加上現在可能也是他們的繁殖期,有好多好多小海狗在岸上。而要區分公和母之間的差異就是公的體型大上很多。
- Oct 04 Sat 2003 21:52
NZ Introduction - Gondola
來到Queenstown一定要到這邊的Gondola來看看,位置就離市區不遠,步行約10分鐘可以到達搭纜車的地方,搭纜車上去的票價NZ$13,在你一進纜車時,就會有人來幫你拍張在纜車中的照片,原本以為只是賣賣照片給旅客,想不到他們還很厲害的做成明信片,一套中共有一張大照片外加四張明信片(NZ$30),雖然價格滿高的,但是你看到做出來的感覺還是會忍不住的買一套.....
做纜車到山頂上大約不到10分鐘的時間,纜車在很陡的峭壁上快速的上升,假如你要自己省錢的話,也可以選擇沿著小步道爬到山頂上,不過聽說一點都不好爬,因為很陡加上路不好走~坐在纜車上輕鬆的上去還可以一邊看到Lake Waikatipu,是比較享受的。
在上面有餐廳、觀景台、咖啡廳等不同的設施,一般人都會直接跑到外面的觀景台看看那令人讚嘆的美景,看著翠綠色的Lake Waikatipu真的很舒服的感覺。不過這邊地勢高一點,冬天的時候可是很冷的唷~我們在那邊走著天空就開始飄起雪來了~
- Oct 02 Thu 2003 21:53
NZ Introduction- Milford Sound
位在Fiordland National Park中的Milford Sound是屬於低溫雨林區,在前往的途中路途相當的遙遠,一路上又常常會有雪崩發生,所以這一整段的公路被稱為紐西蘭最難維護、最花錢的公路,但是為了廣大的觀光用途,每天路上都有車子在清理積雪。整個國家公園共有1.25百萬公頃,比起第二大的國家公園足足有兩倍大。在1986時被認定為世界自然遺產。
這段路上再春天及東天的時候,經常會有雪崩的發生,常常會引發高達200km/hr的強風,另外因為常常會有大雨,所以也會有樹的"樹崩"發生。路上還必須通過一段相當長的隧道(Homer Tunnel),這隧道從1930年開始建造,但是因第二次世界大戰而暫停,直到1954年才完全開通。
這邊是世界上最濕的地方之一,每年降雨約6000立方公厘,最冷的時候是五月到八月,平均氣溫約4-10度。十一月到二月是最溫暖的時候,超過25度的高溫。這邊的樹種主要是:Silver beech。

NZ Introduction-Tram
在Christchurch中有一項很迷人的重點-Tramway。在美麗的街道中,古老的小輕軌電車在路上開著,當過馬路時也要等紅綠燈,甚至有時候還要停下來讓車子過,算是相當的有趣的。
他們的路線只是很簡單的在Christchurch市中心附近的兩條街範圍內繞,但是也是經過了市中心附近所有重要的景點,像是:
1.T1站:Cathedral Square。不用說是最重要的一站,附近有Christchurch Cathedral、 Southern Encounter Aquarium、 Visitor Center。
