New Zealand Travelers With Disabilities

New Zealand is a very accessible destination for disabled travelers. All new buildings and sidewalks in New Zealand are required to provide wheelchair access. Those with disabilities should inform airlines and hotels of their disabilities when making reservations; some time may be needed to prepare. Call ahead to restaurants, museums, and other facilities to find out if they are wheelchair-accessible. Guide dog owners should inquire as to the quarantine policies of each destination.
