New Zealand

Language

  • The official languages of New Zealand are English, Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language. English is widely spoken, so communication should be smooth for most travelers.

Time Zone

  • New Zealand is 19 hours ahead of Salt Lake City’s Mountain Time. Keep the time difference in mind when planning calls or travel connections.

Electricity

  • New Zealand uses Type I outlets with a standard voltage of 230V. Bring an adapter if your electronics have a different plug type, and check if you need a voltage converter.

Climate

  • New Zealand’s climate is generally mild but varies by region. In February (summer in NZ), expect average highs around 72°F (22°C) and lows near 57°F (14°C). Be prepared for both sunshine and sudden rain.

Health

  • Travel insurance is recommended. New Zealand has a strong healthcare system, but international visitors will typically need to pay for services unless covered by insurance. Purchase travel insurance here.

Currency

  • The official currency is the New Zealand Dollar (NZD). Exchange rates fluctuate, but currently, $1 USD is approximately equal to 1.64 NZD.

Transportation

  • New Zealand’s cities have public buses, and long-distance travel is often done by car, coach, or domestic flights. Renting a car or campervan is a popular and flexible way to explore the country.

Safety

  • New Zealand is one of the safest travel destinations in the world. Still, use common sense, especially in remote areas or when hiking. Always check weather and safety alerts before outdoor adventures.

Local Cuisine

  • Try iconic Kiwi dishes like fish and chips, lamb, meat pies, and pavlova. Don’t miss out on seafood and Māori hangi meals (food cooked in an earth oven). Great coffee and local wines are also a highlight.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Kiwis are friendly and laid-back. It’s polite to greet people with a smile and a simple “hello.” Respect for Māori culture is important—learn a few Māori words like “kia ora” (hello) and “ka pai” (well done).

Tipping

  • Tipping is not expected in New Zealand, but it is appreciated for excellent service. Rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% at restaurants is a nice gesture.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
