While all of New Zealand remains at Orange level, we remind everyone of the rules around travelling.
- You can travel anywhere in New Zealand for any reason.
- Accommodation can open, with no capacity limits.
- You must wear a face mask on all flights and public transport, in taxis and ride-share services.
- Do not travel if you are unwell or isolating.
Domestic travel
You can travel anywhere in New Zealand for any reason at Orange. There are no regional boundaries.
If you are travelling into different setting areas, you will need to follow the guidance for that area when you are there.
Unless your transport provider requires it, you do not need a My Vaccine Pass or a negative COVID-19 test to travel.
Public transport, taxis and ride-shares
You can take public transport, taxis and ride-shares. There are no physical distancing requirements on public transport, or at bus stops or train stations.
On transport
You must wear a face mask:
- on domestic flights
- on public transport
- in taxis and ride-share services
- on Cook Strait ferries
- at indoor arrival and departure points, for example inside airports and terminals
- on all Kiwirail services — but you can take your face mask off when you are in your seat inside your allocated carriage.
The official Government COVID-19 sIte has more info about travel and accommodation.
