ARRIVAL IN NEW ZEALAND + PRE-TRIP ACCLIMATISATION
If you’re travelling a long way or across several time zones to New Zealand then we recommend arriving into Christchurch a day or two early to allow your body to adjust and to make sure any flight or luggage days don’t spoil your trip. It’s also worth remembering that you fly out of Queenstown at the end of the adventure, so you may want a day to explore there at the end of the trip too.
