One of the safest countries in the world. Extremely low crime. The main risks are adventure sports and unpredictable mountain weather. New Zealanders (Kiwis) are famously friendly.

One of the safest countries in the world. Extremely low crime. The main risks are adventure sports and unpredictable mountain weather. New Zealanders (Kiwis) are famously friendly.
Tap water is safe everywhere. Some backcountry streams may have giardia — purify when tramping.
Earthquake risk — NZ sits on a fault line. Adventure activities carry inherent risks. Mountain weather changes rapidly — be prepared when tramping (hiking). Sandflies on west coast.
Tipping is NOT expected. Service staff are paid proper wages. Rounding up or small tips for exceptional service are appreciated but never expected.
Very casual. New Zealanders are the most laid-back dressers. Outdoor gear is perfectly acceptable everywhere. Jandals (flip-flops) are practically the national shoe.
Secular society. Christian heritage but very diverse. Māori spiritual traditions (tapu and mana) are respected. Remove shoes when entering a marae (Māori meeting house).
