Oh yeah guys, I was just commenting to the wife how I love & appreciate how you 2 take on and really acknowledge & take to heart the culture of our country but also how you portray it in your videos instead of just glossing over it. Especially was heartfelt when you mentioned the life status of the river trip. Thats what New Zealand is all about & im proud of how the indigenous ppl haven't had alot of cruelty of other indigenous ppl around the world. Thats not to say it hasn't been all clear sailing but i personally would say better than others. You guys are awesome. Enjoy the visit.
Born in bred rural Nelson, and fortunate to spend all my childhood back in the 70's with 8 week holidays in these areas - beach house in Kaiteriteri beach. It is such a beautiful and amazing area to roam. Great vid as always, just found your channel today and really enjoying the vids.
I’m just loving your vids so much! I doubt I’ll ever get to NZ for myself so seeing your adventures is incredible! You cram so much into each video, well done guys!! Xx
You can get here if you set your mind to it, its just a long flight is all. Dont come for just a week, come for a month - you still wont see more than 10% of it.
A lot of love for this video 👌♥️ really good to start watching again after a while (lots to catch up on again 🤦♂️) This whole area looks incredible, those beaches especially look incredible
Hi from Christchurch!That walk you did through the rock formations looked like a lot of fun. We'll have to visit that area next time we head up that way.. The blue water and golden sands of the beaches are also beautiful. Enjoyed watching your adventures. 🙂
Hello! We could've spent at least another week in Abel Tasman, sadly we were a little pushed for time towards the end. There's so many cool things to do!
Just one hour south of Nelson is Lake Rotoiti, there are amazing bush walks right by the lake. Also check out the eels off the pier at the head of the lake!
Hello, you could go down to Westport and drive down along the west coast to Punakaki and cape foulwind then down to Greymouth and Inland to Lake Brunner and then walk along the Wild Wilderness Trail. There's lots to do on West Coast. Also visit Franz Josef Glacier
*Kia ora (hello) that bird is a WEKA & native to NZ. If going down or up the south Island also check out Hokitika as there is lots to see. Also if running low on socks they have a awesome sock place with jumpers etc etc. Maybe at some point you could set aside to do that 5 day trek.*
@@NotAnotherAdventure *awesome.... hope you brought yourselves some possum/marino socks... ideal for hiking and walking thru creeks/rivers etc. Keeps the feet warm and dry and also helps the feet from becoming yuk after wearing ordinary socks.*
You guys would love Karamea (As far north as you can go on the west coast) You would love the beach, the limestone caves and the immersion in nature, it's a magical place. I live in Geraldine so if you're passing through let me know and i'll buy you a coffee.
The thieving bird is a Weka. Wekas are extremely annoying due to their cheeky behavior such as stealing things. They are protected New Zealand native birds

All of Abel Tasman is just an epic area. So much to explore!!

We'll try and check it out!
You may have already headed further south, but queen charlotte walk also amazing while you're in the area
Awh man we just missed Queen Charlotte. We're hoping to do at least a small section of it during our time here

We managed to get to Hokitika, it's so awesome. The gorge there is just stunning!

That looks amazing! We might be heading through Geraldine in the next few days or so!
you guys had a Fan tail follow you throught the maze :) I live In takaka :) and stumbled on your video haha
We didn't notice him until right at the end!
No way?? We absolutely loved Tākaka, was a great town! Glad you enjoyed it!
The thieving bird is a Weka. Wekas are extremely annoying due to their cheeky behavior such as stealing things. They are protected New Zealand native birds
They certainly are cheeky! Worse than Keas? 😂
Make sure not to miss the Catlins and Canniball bay with some of the largest sea lions you will ever see.
Nice! We'll try and check out the area. Is that the region between Invercargill and Dunedin?
Yes, the whole area is stunning
The clearest water in the world is blue lake in the Nelson lakes National Park, the second is pupu springs.
You're absolutely right! Can't believe we missed that when we filmed it!
Takaka = Tar-car-ka
Yeah we really messed up the pronunciation 😂
Sneaky lil perishers 🦜
They're so sneaky!!
