New Zealand Travel Cost


Cost Breakdown


Ok, let's talk about money! I always keep track of my expenses when I travel (I use a budget app). I have decided to share the cost of my 21 days of travel to New Zealand (2020). I was nearly 3 months in New Zealand, this list only includes my trip on the North Island because the other 2 months I was doing the Te Araroa Trail. Note that all prices are in Canadian Dollars (currency converter). Here's my breakdown:

Hotel


Hotels will be your biggest cost. During my entire trip, I mostly stayed in private rooms. The cost is shared with a travel partner. (Double it if you are solo on this trip and don't want to switch to dorms.)
  • Total: $476
  • Average : $22-23/night

Transportation


I used Intercity busses to go in between bigger cities and from there, I used shuttle, city busses or my feet to get to my final destination.
  • Total: 261$
  • Average: 12-13$/day 

Food


I avoided restaurants and didn't buy any alcohol. I bought my own food and drinks at supermarkets.
  • Total: $404
  • Average: $19-20/day

Drinks


All drinks were bought at the grocery store and are included in the food expense. 
  • Total: $0
  • Average: $0/day

Sightseeing


I spent the most on sightseeing in Rotorua; hot spring ($27), mud bath ($66), geothermal parks ($65), and I did a day trip to Hobbiton ($99).
  • Total: $340
  • Average: $16-17/day

Other


All the ones that don't fit in the categories above. A sim card and laundry.
  • Total: $24
  • Average: $1-2/day

Grand Total: $1505 ~$71-72/day
