A. – All applicable local taxes are included in your tour. Most hotels do not make the service charges common in many overseas countries. There is no requirement or expectation of tipping for included tour features. Restaurants are about the only place in Australia or New Zealand where tipping is common. Airport departure tax from New Zealand airports is not included. Approximately $25.00 NZD.
