It depends on the weather. We arrived yesterday afternoon. It was said to be sunny in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. There was fog on the mountain in the morning of the second day, and it rained afterwards. So we didn't go up the glacier. Everyone who has been there says it's worth it. We temporarily found a rainforest motel, which was good, 90 New Zealand dollars. Fox glacier only has a small supermarket, which is relatively expensive. It is recommended to buy necessary food in advance and come here.

In my personal judgment, there are too many people in Fox Glacier. This time after going there also verified my judgment. Met several pairs of people who changed from Fox Glacier to Mount Cook. In addition, the weather in Fox Glacier changes greatly, and it is said that almost half of the reservations will be cancelled. I don't know if it's that exaggerated ? New Zealand Q&A

Hello everyone, which is better, going to Kaikoura to watch whales or go fishing at sea?

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me.

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if I need to buy full insurance when renting a car. I noticed that full insurance is very expensive in Queenstown.

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

Can the whole electronic visa passport be scanned (all blank pages are scanned)? Or just the used pages (such as the pages with exit stamps)? In addition, do you need to scan the new passport if the previous passport has many transit stamps and visas? If scanned, do you also need to scan the whole passport, including blank pages?

Apply for an electronic visa to New Zealand online, fill in the name according to the requirements, and find that the displayed name is opposite to the passport. If this is issued, the name should also be reversed. How do you fill in when you apply? For example, the visa is XU ZHANG, and the passport is ZHANG XU. Or do you need to reverse the order of the name when applying for the visa to keep it consistent with the order of the passport ? New Zealand Q&A
