DON’T’s DON’T’s

Don’t underestimate bad New Zealand weather. Check the forecasts before going into the outdoors for the period you’ll be gone. Rivers can be killers. If it's running too strong to walk through, wait until the levels drop. Be conservative

To protect people from the health effects of second-hand smoke, smoking in all hospitality venues, including bars, restaurants, cafes, and casinos, is prohibited in New Zealand. If you smoke, remember to smoke outside.

Never leave valuables in parked vehicles.

In a bar, avoid accepting drinks from strangers and don’t leave your drink unattended.

The police recommend you don’t accept rides from people you don’t know.

Don’t carry large amounts of cash or expensive jewellery.
