What to
wear / pack: New Zealand is typically an
informal place so bring plenty of casual clothes and
comfortable walking shoes/sneakers.
Since the weather can change from sunny
and hot, to cold - all within one day, bring casual
clothes that can be layered. No matter what time of
year you visit, bring a sweater and a waterproof /
windproof jacket.
Depending on the activities you plan to
pursue, bring T-shirts and shorts, swimming gear,
hiking shoes and rainwear. Don't forget sunglasses and
sunscreen and... for hiking in Fiordland, insect
repellant.
Forget heavy denim jeans, they are
weighty to pack and a pain to launder - that is, to get
them dry quickly, and who wants to be stuck doing laundry
longer than needed? Light-weight, quick-dry trousers/pants
are ideal and if travelling in colder months, all you
need are polypropylene leggings (long-johns) underneath.
