Which New Zealand Travel Adapter?
It’s part of every packing list for New Zealand: a travel adapter for New Zealand. Those cameras, phones and laptops are not going to charge themselves so to make sure you are able to charge and use your electrical devices from home you will need to pack at least one of these travel adapters for New Zealand.
In this list, we have selected five different travel adapters for New Zealand with different needs and budgets in mind. Be aware that the New Zealand voltage output is 220/240 volts, which means that if you plan to use electrical devices with a lower voltage, you will need a converter too (or select the option below with a converter). For more essentials to pack for New Zealand, see 15 Essentials to Pack for New Zealand, as well as our complete New Zealand Packing List.
1. The No-nonsense New Zealand Travel Adapter
If you need a cheap New Zealand travel adapter that will charge devices like your phone, camera and laptop, for example, then you might like a simple New Zealand travel adapter. This travel adapter has duel ports, one which accepts all country connectors and the other accepting US and Europe connectors. With surge protection, it adds an extra safety feature for your devices. While this New Zealand travel adapter is ideal for charging most devices, note that it isn’t a voltage converter so check that devices like hairdryers and straighteners accept 220 or 240 volts (which is the voltage supplied in New Zealand). Besides, you will not need to bring your hairdryer to New Zealand along with these 10 Items You Should Definitely Not to Pack for New Zealand.

What we like about this one is that it has four USB charging slots which will charge all the essential devices, like phones, tablets and cameras. Plus, it has the added protection of internal spike and surge-protection circuitry safeguards.
