Can anyone tell me if it's possible to take a taxi from Emperor Town to the airport at 5 am? We haven't arrived in Queenstown yet, so I don't know the situation. Our flight is at 7:30 am, so we need to get to the airport very early! I'd appreciate any advice. (We have to return our rental car the day before, from a local car hire company, and they only have working hours for returns.) ? New Zealand Q&A
I am leaving Auckland tomorrow to visit the Hobbiton village. I have booked to stay there for one night, but after that I am not sure where to go. I can only travel around North Island, and I have to be back in Auckland on the 2nd. Can anyone recommend any places to visit ? New Zealand Q&A
En esta ocasión, también me daba miedo no llevar comida. En Australia, tiré todo el chocolate cuando pasé por aduana. Un amigo mío, más valiente, llevó pepino chino y dulces a Nueva Zelanda y logró entrar sin problemas. Cuando le preguntaron si llevaba bananos o carne, él dijo que no y entró ? New Zealand Q&A
We will first join a tour and then drive by ourselves. The elderly will arrange to rent a house to live in, so that we don't have to be too tired together. I just don't know what the security situation is like ? New Zealand Q&A
Beidao car rental, bought full insurance, returned the car today. I know I drove the car without any accidents or scratches. When returning the car, they pointed to a small stain on the front bumper and said it was damage, asking me to sign. I don't need to pay for it. I want to ask everyone, what kind of trick is this? Should I sign ? New Zealand Q&A
Reminder: If you are buying baby formula, please buy it at a Chinese store and either have it shipped back or put it in your checked luggage. We saw someone last time who had three small cans of baby formula in their carry-on luggage, and it was confiscated and thrown into a shredder in front of them. New Zealand has strict requirements for powdered items carried on board ? New Zealand Q&A
Hello everyone, which is better, going to Kaikoura to watch whales or go fishing at sea? Whale watching is more famous, but many people can only see two or three whales, and they can only see the small tails of the whales; sea fishing is more ordinary, but it seems that the reviews are all good. Do you have any suggestions ? New Zealand Q&A
Bonjour à tous, est-ce que le ferry de Rotorua à Wellington sur l'île du Nord est plus pratique et économise du temps que de conduire jusqu'à Auckland (ou d'atterrir à l'aéroport de Rotorua) et de prendre l'avion 🛫 jusqu'à Christchurch? Merci ? New Zealand Q&A
Parking: Unfortunately we are unable to provide off street parking but there is free all day parking around the Esplanade and you are also welcome to park for up to ½ an hour in the loading zone when arriving and departing ? New Zealand Q&A

What activities have you all decided on? I have just booked the Franz Josef Glacier on September 29th. Are there any of you who would like to join me? There is also a jet boat, kayak and forest walk in Paradise, which is very popular during the National Day period. I searched several websites before I was able to book it. Those of you who need it should book it as soon as possible ? New Zealand Q&A
@Star, there are no restrictions, but I suggest you also go to the United States for a while. If you get tired of New Zealand and Australia, you can leave. Eating steak and drinking milk every day can get boring. Anyway, the plane tickets are refundable, so we can be happy no matter what. We won't go back, because going back would just add burden to the country. There's a shortage of masks in the country now, and we can't even buy them. We won't go back, so we can give the masks to those who really need them. It's also a support for this new pneumonia outbreak ? New Zealand Q&A
Dear friends in the circle, are there any of you who are starting your trip in Christchurch on February 1st as well? We originally had 4 people, but now it's just 2 (female, both able to drive), looking for someone to join us. We are flexible with the itinerary, and the houses in Tekapo and Wanaka have not been cancelled yet. Are there any of you who, like us, have suddenly lost a travel companion ? New Zealand Q&A
If you can book a motorhome, it is still recommended that you book a motorhome. The travel time is free, there are also many motorhome campsites, and it is also solid. We felt very relaxed during our 15-day motorhome trip in the South Island. There is no need to worry about whether the accommodation can keep up. Motorhomes come in many varieties. compatriots who are not very familiar with right-hand drive and especially dare not drive large cars can choose smaller ones. There are cooking things on the car, which is very convenient ? New Zealand Q&A
