A valid passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling to New Zealand. As a requirement for entry, your passport must be/have: valid for at least three months from your date of departure from New Zealand and have at least one blank stamp page. Please check your passport expiration date. If any of these requirements are not currently being met, you must have your passport renewed.

An electronic travel authorization is required for U.S. citizens traveling to New Zealand. Travelers should apply for their New Zealand Electronic Travel Authorization (NZeTA) at least one week prior to arrival. You can click here to access the NZeTA application and begin the process. As entry requirements can change, please visit the State Department’s page for New Zealand for up to date information.

Nationals of all other countries should check travel requirements well in advance of their adventure.

Please schedule your flights to arrive in and depart from Queenstown International Airport (ZQN) in Queenstown, New Zealand. Additional details will be included in your Welcome Email, which will be automatically sent after booking, as well as in the travel app you will receive shortly afterward.

Please note that transfers are only included within the flight stipulations that will be outlined in the information provided after booking. However, The Travel Yogi is happy to assist with transfer arrangements and additional nights if you choose to arrive early for the adventure or extend your stay.

Speaking from experience, we always strongly recommend travel insurance.  This yoga adventure is a big investment of time, energy, imagination and funds and travel insurance is your safe guard in the event that an unforeseen situation arises.  You will also want to know that you are covered medically if a sheep bites off a finger (kidding!!).

Absolutely! The food is delicious and, as often as possible, locally sourced. All dietary requests should be able to be accommodated provided that you notify us at least four weeks in advance. Please contact The Travel Yogi with any dietary questions.

Yes!  Wifi is readily available at all properties.

On this adventure, you will need to bring your own yoga mat with you. Classes will be designed without props in mind, but bring any props you need to be comfortable in your practice.

Electricity in New Zealand runs on 230-240V. New Zealand utilizes the Oceanian plug type I. You may need an adaptor and converter, it will be up to you to check your individual electronics.

Once you book your trip, you’ll receive access to our travel app where you’ll find our suggested packing list to help you get trip-ready. In general, we recommend bringing comfortable yoga clothes, casual wear, a swimsuit and sturdy walking shoes for excursions.

Queenstown and the surrounding areas have a crisp alpine climate with beautiful seasonal changes. Summer brings long daylight hours and pleasant temperatures in the mid-60s to mid-70s°F (18–24°C). Even in warmer months, mornings and evenings cool and refreshing.

Wildlife sightings are always a highlight, but nature is wonderfully unpredictable—so while we hope to see plenty, Mother Nature ultimately calls the shots. In New Zealand’s South Island, you’ll definitely meet some of the country’s famous sheep during our farm visit, and you’ll also experience the region’s incredible beekeeping culture. While exploring places like Fiordland, Milford Sound, Mt Aspiring National Park, and the Tasman Sea, keep an eye out for fur seals, dolphins, seabirds, and possibly the curious alpine parrot known as the kea. With dramatic fjords, glaciers, and alpine landscapes all around, every day offers a chance for memorable wildlife encounters. 🙂

Yes!  Of course. Once you’re booked you’ll receive a Welcome Email with important logistical information and a link to your invoice. You can pay any amount at any time on the invoice; you can use it as a payment plan or leave it alone until the final due date. Remember that deposits are non-refundable so please purchase your travel insurance once you have deposited on this adventure.
