    Went to the Cooks for the first time in May. Really enjoyed ourselves. Will now make it a regular get away in the future. Temps were good and not too hot. Stayed at Moana Sands Villas which was great.

    Great list. We just got back earlier this week from an incredible two weeks in Raro. This video gave me some great ideas for next time as there were a few things we didn’t get around to! Also some pretty good snorkelling out front of the Rarotongan Resort. Highland Paradise does a great island night experience and Raro Safari Tour was a good way to get a bit of a tour around the inner ring road and learn more about the local history. I thought Snorkel Cook Islands was a great option for seeing the turtles and they have a great safety record (zero drownings) that some of the other companies don’t! Thanks for sharing 😁

Hopefully this will change my habit in that sense! So looking forward to it and we arrive in whale season too! That was totally not planned but pefect as I've always wanted to see a whale in person. I love marine life.

    Hello guys! Love your content, watched almost all of it. I was wondering if you guys knew about ( or if it is a problem on my end) the fact that your Scotland playlist does not show up in your playlists (EU playlists nor all playlists) unless you search for it specifically ? Are there more playlists like that? Might be a settings that is missing or wrong, or it might be on my end, but it is missing in both my Edge, Firefox and my cell phone so sort of doubt it. Is it intentional or?
    Side note, at what time(month) were you filming your bike and whine tour in Queenstown ? That looked so amazing!
