疫苗
进入纽西兰不需打疫苗。
安全防备
虽然纽西兰没有蛇或其他危险动物, 但您还是应注意以下须知:
天气变化 – 纽西兰高地区的天气变化十分快速。无论是什么季节, 若您计划到纽西兰的国家公园, 请预防寒湿天气。
砂蝇 – 在湿地区, 尤其是峡湾区, 砂蝇十分扰人, 但只要使用防虫液即可有效驱除。
梨形鞭毛虫 -梨形鞭毛虫是水中寄生虫, 会造成腹泻。要避开此状况, 最好避免饮用未煮沸、消毒或过滤的湖泊、池塘或河川的水。
晒伤 – 纽西兰的空气干净、无污染, 纬度较低, 日晒比欧洲及北美洲大部份地区强, 所以, 若您会在户外待超过十五至二十分钟以上, 请准备帽子、防晒油。
水上安全
由于纽西兰属亚热带气候, 因此许多休闲活动都在水上。但水中隐匿着危机。 我们建议您至纽纽西兰水上安全局网站,
watersafety.org.nz..., 查询在纽西兰的海滩或水边的安全须知。
暗藏危险的海滩, 在红黄旗之间的区域有救生员巡逻 – 纽西兰水上安全局建议, 插有这种旗帜的海滩是最安全的可游泳海滩。
其他建议包括成人需全程看护儿童、接受救生员的劝告、不要独自游泳或冲浪、了解潮汐时间、使用安全设备、不要在疲倦或寒冷时游泳或冲浪、注意其他冲浪者、远离不确定的水域。
一般保险与安全
纽西兰是全世界最安全的旅游胜地之一。但还是要提醒您, 无论是出外旅行或在家, 都要注意您个人安全与财产。我们建议您在出国前先向可靠的保险公司买保险。
健康与医药保险
我们强烈建议您购买个人健康保险。纽西兰的公共与私人医药/医院机构提供高标准的治疗与服务, 但请注意, 除非是意外, 这些服务对游客并非免费提供。
携带大量药剂的游客请携带医师证明, 以避免在纽西兰海关遭遇可能的问题。部份药物在纽西兰需出示医生处方签。
意外赔偿方案
到访纽西兰的游客若遭到意外而受伤害, 都在地方意外赔偿方案(Accident Compensation Scheme)之内。受益范围包括部份医药与医院支出, 但不包括纽西兰之外的所得损失。因此我们建议您购买含意外赔偿的旅游险。
给旅客的意外须知
在旅客出意外或需要医疗服务时, 有一家名为「意外资讯服务」(Accident Info Services)的私人公司可提供到访纽西兰的旅客进入纽西兰保健系统最佳方法的建议。这个二十四小时的服务可告诉病人到哪里接受治疗和安排医生探视病人。
需要此服务的病人可电洽+64 9 529-0488。不需事先预约安排。若您需要免费资讯, 入境纽西兰后可电洽0800 263-345。

Safety in the water
Given New Zealand's subtropical climate, it is no surprise that New Zealanders like to spend so much of their leisure time in the water. However water can conceal hazards. We recommend that you visit Water Safety New Zealand's website, for advice on how to stay safe on New Zealand's beaches and waterways.
Beaches with potential hazards are often patrolled by lifeguards, who put up yellow and red flags - Water Safety New Zealand recommend that between these flags is the safest place to swim on these beaches.
Other advice includes having an adult watching over children at all times, to listen to advice from life guards, never swim or surf alone, learning to recognise rip currents, always using safe equipment, never swimming or surfing when tired or cold, considering other surf users and staying out of the water if in doubt.
Safety Precautions
Although there are no snakes or dangerous wild animals in New Zealand, you should be aware of the following:
Variable Weather - Weather conditions in New Zealand alpine areas can change rapidly. Be prepared for cold wet weather if you plan to walk in our National Parks, whatever the time of year.
Sandflies - In wetter areas, particularly in Fiordland, sandflies can be pests, but are effectively controlled by use of an insect repellent.
Giardia - Giardia is a water-borne parasite that causes diarrhoea. To avoid contracting it, it is best not to drink water from lakes, ponds or rivers without first boiling, chemically treating or filtering it.
Sunburn - New Zealand's clear, unpolluted atmosphere and relatively low latitudes produce sunlight stronger than much of Europe or North America, so be prepared to wear hats and sun block if you plan to be out in the sun for more than 15-20 minutes.
