KIA ORA!
 
Hello travel lovers…hope everyone is having a great week…I had an awesome week again last week…as always…hehe
 
Doing what I love the most when I’m free…take a little moment to have “ME” time…apa lagiiii…pampering myself with the beauty of nature…my kinda place to get a peaceful mind…



Tramping is what New Zealanders called it…Hiking/trekking whatever you wanna call it…one of the top activities people here love to do…of course la….New Zealand is heaven for that…the view is beyond words…
 
Outdoor lovers….adventure people…muddy and dirt…crossing rivers, swamp, waterfalls…walking in the bushes…climbing up the hills or mountains…you surely wanna read more here…this week is for US!!!! Hehe
 
Cheap activities but you get priceless experience…you'll definitely won’t regret every moment of it cause not everybody gets what we…trampers/hikers get to view from up there….best feeling everrrrrr!
 
Ok…now I wanna share some tips with you guys…Perhaps you're wondering how this woman (me…hehe) started tramping in New Zealand when she knew no one there…hehe…”Sometimes we just need to think outside the box”…cewahhh…ayat poyos a bit there…haha…
 
If you love meeting new people…don’t mind car pooling with strangers at the beginning, and in the end you'll end up with a bunch of new friends from different parts of the world who love doing the same thing that you do…best kannn??? Then this is for you….kalau malu tak dapek la den nak nolong sayang oiiiii….

Seriously...every trip I only spent around $10-$15 with them...
​
Most of the groups are very active and every week surely there’s something for you.
 
This is what I did…I joined them!
​

MEET UP APPS…

Since I like Hiking/tramping and I live in Auckland, I joined Auckland hiking group… Actually I joined a few others too but this posting is about hiking/tramping so I will share a few group names and how you can take the opportunity to have a wonderful time of your life here in New Zealand. Even if you just come for holiday you can grab this chance….ada je some people that I met who came for holiday and join us…
 
Have you heard of “MEET UP” APPS? You can register and install in your phone…zaman canggih already people…make use of the technology that we have…hehe
  • First…select and browse which country you are going…
  • Choose what activities you like to do…seriously every single activity will be available…from outdoors, adventure, arts, movies, photography…it’s going to be a long list if I want to write everything here…
  • Choose which group you want to join
  • List of update activities will be in your newsfeed…weekly and sometimes daily updates, depending on what activities you choose
  • Then you need to RSVP with them
Second step once you join the Meetup…
  • I joined a few hiking groups:
  • Auckland Tramping Club
  • Auckland Hiking Group
  • Feet First Hiking & Outdoor
  • Auckland Hike and Ski
  • Auckland Adventure Group
  • Kick Ass Adventure for Women in Auckland
  • Ramblers & Trampers
Why I joined so many groups…reasons:
  • Not all groups are active
  • You have more options to choose…dates can be an issue as they might clash with your other plans…more groups means more dates and areas that you can choose to go
Other points to take note…
  • Some groups will arrange transportation and car pooling for you
  • Other groups you need to be in contact…you can leave a message that you need a ride, then someone from the group will reply and you can arrange for pick up with whoever will be driving….don’t worry, people here are really friendly…there will be someone who will offer you a ride…but you have to approach people also lahhhh…cannot la just sit and wait kannnn….then you will wait forever la…hehe…inform them the nearest place you can go to meet them…just be nice since people already offer to be your driver…you also offer yourself that is easy for the driver to pick up…
  • Please prepare $10-$15/trip to give driver for car pooling cost…ye la people drive already must share petrol la kan…hehe….usually the group organizer will mention how much per person for each trip.
  • Auckland Tramping Club sometimes use their bus and the non-members need to pay around $20 per trip…depending on distance and locations.
  • Auckland Hiking Group usually will gather then they will sort out car pooling for you
CLUB WEBSITES
Another option…basically every main city will have their own tramping club… memang you pilih je lah mana nak pegi…they always open for the public to join….Kiwis love to share their nature beauty with people…here are some tramping club websites you can follow…there are more actually
​

                       www.wtc.org.nz (Waikato)
                       www.htc.org.nz (Heretauga)
                       www.wanganuitrampingclub.org.nz (Wanganui)
                       www.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz (Nelson)
                       www.ctc.org.nz (Christchurch)
                       www.otmc.co.nz (Otago,Dunedin)


  • You can also browse Tramping Club like ATC (Auckland tramping club) website…other parts of New Zealand also will have their own club that you can browse thru…
  • ATC usually will update a whole month activities then you can contact them directly if you want to join them
  • Their calendar usually will be packed every weekend
  • ATC memang otai group la….I love to follow them cause they like to share stories of their experience and about their nature…besttttt…serious tak rugi…”Otai masih berbisa” hahaha…serious dah tua but still healthy and can walk faster than you…penat nak kejar…hahaha…being an Asian who has short legs (talking about myself...hehe)

Motorhome, Campervan, RV, Caravan:  Panduan Kembara Bumi Kiwi

8/3/2016

Comments

 
Kami banyak terima pertanyaan tentang kembara motorhome. Ramai yang kurang pasti dan mencari maklumat lanjut kerana teruja dengan kembara motorhome di New Zealand. Ramai yang pertama kali dan tiada pengalaman menggunakan motorhome.

Sebelum mulakan kembara, kami akan cuba jelaskan beberapa perkara asas tentang pakej motorhome dengan bahasa yang mudah untuk difahami.



Picture

Kita mula dengan kenali kenderaan ini. Ada yang sebut "motorhome", ada pula panggil "campervan", tidak kurang juga "caravan", ada pula sebut "RV". Sama ke semua kenderaan ini?
Picture

Caravan 
​

Caravan adalah sebuah unit tanpa motor yang yang perlu ditunda dengan kenderaan lain menggunakan tow-bar. Caravan biasanya milik peribadi dan tidak banyak pembekal yang menyewakan caravan secara komersial. Untuk makluman, lesen Malaysia tidak boleh digunakan untuk menunda caravan. Hanya lesen New Zealand, Australia, US dan negara Eropah yang memiliki kelas menunda caravan atau trailer.
Picture

RV - Recreational Vehicle
​

RV adalah nama yang digunakan di US yang bermaksud "Recreational Vehicle". Di US, kebanyakan menggunakan chassis yang besar seperti chassis bas atau lori. Sebuah filem Hollywood RV lakonan Robbie Williams amat menarik menceritakan pengalaman keluarga yang menggunakan kenderaan ini. 
Campervan

Campervan adalah sebuah van yang diubahsuai dan dilengkapi dengan tempat tidur dan dapur kecil. VW Kombi adalah antara kenderaan paling awal diubahsuai kepada sebuah campervan, yang menjadi icon campervan. Sehingga kini VW Kombi amat diminati dan mempunyai efek retro sebuah campervan yang unik.

​Di New Zealand terdapat banyak model yang diubahsuai kepada campervan, sama ada menggunakan chassis buatan Eropah seperti Mercedes dan VW atau chassis Jepun seperti Toyota Hiace. Kapasiti campervan biasanya diantara 2 hingga 4 penumpang.

Motorhome
​

Di New Zealand, kenderaan yang biasa di sediakan selain campervan adalah motorhome. Motorhome lebih besar dan lebih lengkap berbanding campervan. Kapasiti motorhome biasanya di antara 4 - 6 berth (berth = kapasiti tempat duduk/tempat tidur). Motorhome dilengkapi dengan dapur yang lebih besar termasuk oven, bilik air dengan tandas yang lengkap dan tempat tidur. Motorhome 6 berth dilengkapi dengan 3 unit double bed - bahagian atas pemandu, belakang pemandu (dining area) dan ruang belakang (family area).

Chassis yang biasa digunakan biasanya buatan Eropah seperti Mercedes Sprinter/VW Crafter. Chassis ini lebih besar dengan engin diesel yang tahan lasak untuk kegunaan di New Zealand/Australia.

Seterusnya kita fahami beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi harga pakej motorhome/campervan
Seperti membeli kereta, perlu diketahui model motorhome, kapasiti, insuran, aksesori dan sebagainya. Pakej motorhome juga bergantung kepada beberapa perkara tersebut. Oleh itu perlu ada sedikit pengetahuan asas untuk memilih pakej ini.

Musim/Season

Harga sewa motorhome bergantung kepada musim/season, iaitu harga Off Peak season, Shoulder Peak, Peak dan High-Peak. Kos motorhome amat tinggi pada pertengahan Disember hingga pertengahan Februari (high-peak season) kerana pada masa ini musim panas di New Zealand. Permintaan motorhome tinggi kerana penduduk tempatan dan pelancong Eropah mengambil peluang cuti Krismas/Tahun Baru ataupun lari dari musim sejuk di Eropah.

Mereka membawa tukaran GBP atau Euro dan kos sewa masih lagi affordable menggunakan matawang mereka berbanding matawang nilai kecil dari rantau Asia Tenggara. Cuba elakkan memilih tempoh high-peak season untuk menempah pakej motorhome.
Picture
Insuran
​

Amat penting untuk fahami kelas insuran motorhome. Ada beberapa kategori insuran dengan harga dan tahap risiko yang berbeza. Perlu baca terma dan syarat untuk fahami liabiliti sekiranya berlaku perkara yang tidak dingini.  Ramai yang mengambil risiko dengan tidak mengambil insuran tambahan kerana memilih kos yang rendah.

Tanpa insuran tambahan, anda mempunyai liabiliti sehingga NZD7,500 @ RM21,000 sekiranya berlaku tuntutan insuran.  Liabiliti ini boleh dikurangkan dengan kos insuran tambahan (liability reduction option).

Setiap pakej motorhome Ikhlas Tours disertakan comprehensive insurance - liabiliti sifar (nil/zero excess liability) untuk pastikan perlindungan maksima.
Powered Site / Non-Powered Site / Freedom Parking
​

Di waktu malam, motorhome/campervan perlu tempat parking yang dibenarkan sama ada freedom camping site atau di holiday park. Terdapat dua jenis parking di holiday park - Powered site, lot parking beserta bekalan elektrik untuk motorhome atau non-powered site, parking tanpa bekalan elektrik.

Freedom camping site biasanya terhad kepada beberapa unit motorhome sahaja dan agak jauh dari bandar. Hanya motorhome/campervan  self-contained sahaja yang boleh menggunakan kemudahan parking ini.

Kami syorkan guna kemudahan parking di holiday park yang menyediakan ruang yang lebih selesa, lebih selamat dan lengkap dengan lain-lain kemudahan seperti dump station (tempat lupuskan waste water), dapur,  bilik air, laundry, dsb.

Spesifikasi pakej motorhome

Harga pakej motorhome juga ditentukan oleh kapasiti muatan, tahun pendaftaran kenderaan, transmisi manual atau auto. Juga peralatan tambahan seperti car seat untuk kanak-kanak di bawah 7 tahun, GPS, snow chain, bike rack dan sebagainya.
Kadar Tukaran Matawang

Kadar tukaran matawang juga memberi kesan kepada harga pakej motorhome. Untuk merancang percutian, sila semak turun naik Ringgit Malaysia berbanding New Zealand Dollar.
Picture
Cukai dan lain-lain caj
​

Kadar sewa motorhome/campervan tertakluk kepada cukai perkhidmatan,  Road User Charge RUC (caj menggunakan diesel) dan caj LPG. Sila semak terma dan syarat untuk pastikan harga pakej anda termasuk cukai/caj ini atau perlu dibayar semasa memulangkan kenderaan. Untuk memudahkan klien kami, setiap pakej Ikhlas Tours telah termasuk cukai dan caj-caj ini.

Antara soalan yang biasa kami terima :

Bila waktu sesuai kembara motorhome?
Pilihan utama kami ; Shoulder peak - awal September hingga akhir Oktober (Musim Bunga) atau awal April-awal Mei (Musim Luruh).
Pilihan lain; awal off-peak (awal Mei) atau akhir off peak (akhir Ogos) - untuk dapatkan harga paling rendah.

Elak pertengahan Disember hingga Februari (Summer) harga terlalu mahal dan agak kurang selesa berada dalam motorhome di musim panas.

Perlu lesen memandu antarabangsa?
Tidak perlu. Hanya lesen memandu kelas D (lesen kereta penuh). Pastikan ianya tidak luput tarikh semasa kembara dan pastikan bawa credit card untuk bond.

Berapa bond diperlukan?

Terma biasa penggunaan motorhome, bond sebanyak NZD250 diperlukan. Seperti menetap di hotel, bond di pegang secara credit card imprint. Bond ini akan dikembalikan bila kenderaan dihantar pada masa yang ditetapkan, dihantar dengan tangki minyak penuh dan waste water/toilet cassette dibersihkan.

Macam mana menyelenggara motorhome?
Motorhome/campervan memerlukan lebih penyelenggaraan berbanding kenderaan biasa. Banyak komponen tambahan untuk melengkapi sebuah motorhome umpama seperti motel bergerak. Antaranya, tangki air bersih, tangki air kumbahan, peralatan dapur, LPG, tandas dan sebagainya yang perlu diselenggara. Sebelum dibenarkan memandu, anda akan diberi taklimat untuk mengendalikan kenderaan ini.


Adakah disediakan pemandu / tukang masak?
Konsep kembara motorhome adalah santai - Kembara bersama keluarga dan rakan-rakan, memandu sambil menikmati keindahan alam. Kami tidak sediakan pemandu, tukang masak, tukang cuci, dsb.

Harga pakej termasuk entrance fees?
Tidak. Semua orang mempunyai minat & bajet berbeza. Kami hanya cadangkan aktiviti di setiap laluan bergantung kepada musim pengembaraan. Terpulang pada anda untuk masuk aktiviti berbayar atau free sightseeing.

Boleh kami guna motorhome selama 2 hari?
Motorhome/campervan hanya boleh disewa sekurang-kurangnya 5 hari ketika off-season dan 10 hari ketika high-peak season.

Kami akan tiba di Queenstown, boleh pick-up motorhome di sana?
Motorhome/campervan boleh diambil atau dikembalikan di 3 airport utama; Auckland, Christchurch dan Queenstown.

Boleh kami mix kembara motorhome dan Leisure Package?
Pakej kami fully customised, boleh combine Leisure Package (memandu kereta/ MPV di North Island )dan Motorhome di South Island atau sebaliknya mengikut kesesuaian masa dan musim.

Kami beberapa family, keluarga saya ingin kembara motorhome manakala keluarga rakan saya ingin pandu SUV.
Kami boleh uruskan kombinasi motorhome dan Leisure Package. Tuan akan kembara konvoi bersama dan bermalam di lokasi yang sama.

Kami ingin pandu motorhome, tapi bermalam di motel.
Tiada masalah, kami boleh uruskan bermalam di motel atau holiday park.

Mengapa pakej Ikhlas Tours lebih flexible dan harga tawaran menarik?
Kami syarikat berdaftar di New Zealand dan juga a
hli Tourism Industry Association New Zealand. Kami mempunyai hubungan jangka panjang dengan pembekal motorhome, rental car, pembekal penginapan dan syarikat pengurusan aktiviti di seluruh New Zealand. Mereka menawarkan kami harga secara wholesale, maka kos operasi kami rendah. Kami mempromosi pakej New Zealand secara direct / online kepada klien dari Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei dan Australia.
