Stunning Te Mata Peak & Pekapeka Wetlands HAWKE'S BAY NEW ZEALAND | NORTH ISLAND NZ TRAVEL VLOG 3/5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2020
- Continuing on from our previous Napier NZ road trip vlog, we made our way over to Te Mata Peak, still in the Hawke's Bay region (and North Island) of New Zealand.
Te Mata Peak is south of Hastings and behind Havelock North. We drove to the summit of Te Mata Peak to enjoy spectacular 360 views of Hawke's Bay but there are also various walking trails if you want to explore more of Te Mata Park.
The next morning we went back to the heart of Napier city to visit MTG Hawke's Bay. MTG Hawke's Bay is a museum, theatre and art gallery that occupies 3 floors. MTG is home to Hawke's Bay region's taonga and other treasures. It's a great place to learn about Napier's history as well as Maori arts and culture. Entry is free and they're open everyday (except Christmas Day).
MTG Hawke's Bay
Address: 1 Tennyson Street, Napier 4110
Hours: Monday-Sunday 9:30am-5pm
The National Aquarium of New Zealand (formerly known as Napier Aquarium) was a very short drive away. It isn't a massive aquarium by global standards but it is a really awesome place packed with lots of intrigue.
We got to see a penguin feeding as well as shark and stingray feeding but unlike other aquariums, the National Aquarium of New Zealand also had a nocturnal enclosure that housed kiwi birds (the national bird of NZ) and also the endangered tuatara (a reptile endemic to New Zealand). Tuatara are very rare (even more so than kiwis) and they're the last survivors of an order of reptiles that thrived in the age of the dinosaurs. Super cool!
The National Aquarium of New Zealand
Address: 546 Marine Parade, Napier South, Napier 4110
Hours: Monday-Sunday 9am-5pm
The last stop for us was Pekapeka Wetlands. Tip, if you're looking for this place on Google maps, don't forget to add in "walkway" because if you just use "Pekapeka Wetlands" you'll end up in a random place like we did at first! The walks around Pekapeka Wetlands is pleasant and on a nice weather day like we had, the waters are very still and glass-like. NB: there aren't any toilets here so prepare ahead.
Pekapeka Wetlands Walkway
Address: State Highway 2, Hastings 4178
*EDIT 8 July 2020*
Please note that when we made this vlog we didn't realise that an approval form was required for recreational drone use at Te Mata Peak and Pekapeka Wetlands. We didn't see any no drone signs at either location and also the NZ Airshare map showed both those areas were ok to drone in.
We are always cautious to check if droning is allowed but unfortunately didn't realise with these two places so we sincerely apologise for our oversight on this occasion! As always though, we were respectful to drone away from people and abided by regular drone rules.
You can apply for drone permissions here:

Have lived in London for nearly 20 years so LOVE seeing home (Napier) from other's point of views. Brings back memories of going 'cruisin' with mates as a teen to Te Mata peak. Cheers!
Te mata is such an amazing spot! Would have been a mean as local spot to cruise with the homies and hang out at 😯👌
The tunnel is so cool where ya can see closeup views of the fishes n the divers feeding the sharks ! What an experience ! The squid is HUGEE ...440 pounds !! Awesome place !!
The aquarium in napier was very cool especially the kiwi and the tuatara 😁🦎🦅
Awesome views omg! I can’t get over how great the sky looks! That blue 😍😍😍
We always love our clear blue skies in NZ 😍 especially after returning from overseas! 💙
That aquarium tunnel thing is s cool!! 😍 have always wanted to visit one like that! The fact that you guys have said it was one of the best aquariums you’ve been to, I’m sold!
Yea not a big aquarium but very cool coz of the kiwi and tuatara too 😁👍
I would love to see a south island road trip.
It'll happe soonish yen and I are planning to go on one 😁
Those wavy hills and mountains! 🌊⛰
Such cool landscape ay? There's Maori legend that accompanies it too we learnt after! ☺️
great views from the view point.
the wind is something serious up there!
It was pretty strong lol 🌬️
Peter is the top of the world man!! Boy that looks dangerous looking down!!
Hahahaha yeah, it's a steep drop once you're on the ridge
Wait. What. Peter has shoes? OMG. Te Mata peak is awesome eh. That road up there is a bit hairy though. But the views are amazing. Really need to check out more of Napier. Can't wait to see your Gisborne vlog. Another underrated gem of the east coast.
😂😂😂 mate I do wear them on rare occasions. Gizzy is massively underrated. We've been to the town where they filmed Boy before but it was our first time to gisborne on this road trip 😁
Cool you can see the kiwis and tuatara at that aquarium. The tuatara is an OG too at 35 years old!
It was really awesome! They're both rare especially the tuatara and they're such fascinating creatures. It feels like looking at a mini dinosaur 😁👍
These views are absolutely incredible!
NZ is a very scenic place 😁⛰️ best of all doesn't take much effort for most of them!
Dude that a view!!! Those sheep's on the hills man!! Feel like atop of the world! Amazing view! Fresh air!!
Maaan the view from the top was just crazy! The air all around New Zealand is freshest you can get ❄😁👍
hah that manta ray in the aquarium is hungry or wants to play!
It was cute lol we got to do our own feeding in the next city we went 😁👍
Penguins soooo cute 😍😍😍 that squid is massive!! Wetlands look dry 😆 (just like how Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice haha) ohhh okay, that's the wet part! 😆 such a contrast of view, but still lovely!!
😂 I like your elaboration of wet lands 😂
great views up there seems rather windy the museum in Napier looks rather interesting oh and the aquarium looks good too and then lost looking for the wetlands looked cool when you found it noted no food in your video
*full viewed👍Au👍left our like for you*
Haha yea this was carried on directly right after mission estate winery from the previous vlog so we were already full for the day 😁👍
You can really appreciate the wetlands from the drone. Agree with Yen that there’s a kind of vibe at that time of year
It's a vibe right?? 😁 But then I looked up other people's drones of it in other times of the year and it's pretty awesome too lolol 👍
The music the drone. Such a vibe 🤤 OPEN THE BOARDER! 😂
Hahaha that would be so cool to hang out with you here in New Zealand!
Te Mata Peak is stunning 😮 Love the drone shots and the transitions.
Thanks guys! It was such a beautiful view 😍 Have an awesome week!
Great views everywhere. Good video guys, as usual. I think I'd enjoy walking around the Wetlands.
Think you'd have many good walking group trips at the wetlands ✌🙂
Looks like it's getting chili over there. Hahaha Peter hiking and wearing shoes! No need to compare. You guys have visited some very unique spots. Quiet time is important.
Yep! It was definitely chilly with how windy it was too 😅 yea gotta have quiet time each day.. for this road trip we vlogged 7 days in a row (and made the 5 vlogs) ☺️👍 need to have those breaks 😁
What beautiful views wow!!
😍 yup 😍
One of the Best views I've seen in NZ. I always take people up there when they visit.
It's such an amazing spot 😍😍
Love a good aquarium, especially now that is so hot over here. Nice tunnel. Oh man, Google has also taken us to some random roads and places. Hahaha It actually happened last weekend. Glad you found it though. Beautiful boardwalk.
Hahaha Google just likes to troll every now and then ay but luckily most of the time it's awesome 😁👍 that aquarium was so cool! Not that big but heaps of cool stuff to see 💙☺️
Totally agree NZ has some dope scenery for sure... Great drone shots Peter. My kids would love that aquarium and it looks like a good one aye...
Cheers Tony 👍 that aquarium was awesome! It had everything 😁 definitely bring your kids to check it out one day 👍
New Zealand is so beautiful, thanks for your videos
Glad you enjoy them Tuan ☺️💕🇳🇿
I'm not the kind of guy to give a lot of compliments except when I'm really impressed. Having seen a few of your videos now, I must say I am impressed with how professional all your work looks. Congrats, guys!
Hi Bert 👋 That's very kind of you to say, thank you so much 😁 we try our best and we're still learning with every vlog so appreciate your words of support! Thanks for watching our videos and dropping us a comment too ☺️
@@PeterandYen Also: I admire how you keep finding the courage to reply to virtually every single reaction.
We try our best! ☺️❤️ When people have taken the time to watch our videos and leave us something nice, the least we can do is try our best to reply back. May not always get to be the case but for now we can ☺️👍 we ignore any haters tho coz that's not worth any attention or energy 😅
Ahh the aquarium reminds me of Sydney aquarium! Miss you guys 😄 hope we can meet soon 🙏🏻
Yes! Miss you guys too will be nice to catch up and see y'all again. Indo food tour part 2
lol those sheep live dangerously on the edge. more awesome drone shots, so good! Viiiiews are epic!! amazing 10/10 for sure! wow the earthquake hit really hard back then. lol we also visit aquariums everywhere we go! So much fun and interesting to see all the sea life. Pete maaate, you led the party astray and blaming google LOL! good to see you guys end up where you're supposed to. It looks so cool and peaceful to walk around.
Yea I think it was one of NZ's worst hit disasters unfortunately but Napier rebuilt itself and now it's so unique 👍 hahahaha Peter kept saying Google should've known better 😂😂 apparently we're not the only ones it's happened to though so we don't feel quite so bad lolol 🤣
Love the aquarium! Huge fan of lizards!! I always wanted to see a giant Komodo! Hahaa you guys are like in the middle of no where that's the adventure! Finding your way around! A drone is a great way to find yourself out!! How dope!
Plus as a new Zealand kid you hear about tuataras during your school years and it becomes the reptile you wanna see the most. Majestic lil creatures, komodo dragons are super cool too 😍🦎🐊
Ahhhhh those sheeps!!!!
Hahahaha of course you guys would like the sheep
You guys are so brave for walking backwards and talking while walking at the wetlands 😂 I’d be so scared to fall in 😅
Haha it's a slow walk and a decently wide enough platform 😂👍🌾
nice chilled video especially love the lake last part
The wet lands felt like a nice lil secret spot there were hardly any people 😁✌
Hey guys! Another amazing video! Makes me want to go to NZ even more! The views from up top was absolutely stunning! I can’t think of the right words to even describe how beautiful it looks! Must be even better in person! The drone footage really gave us a good overview! Great time at the aquarium too! Looks very fun! Can’t wait to watch your next video! Thanks for sharing, Take care!
The views were breathtaking 😍 yea nothing quite like seeing it for yourself in person though ⛰️ we really are spoilt with incredible scenery here in NZ! The aquarium was a really awesome experience too, that Alfie is a fascinating creature 😁👍 hope you can visit NZ some day. Have a great week ahead 👋☺️
What a stunning view n amazing aquarium too...love it.💖💖💖
That aquarium is so cool, yen and i were so happy to see the kiwis and the tuatara
Always such groovy content ! Keep it up friends 👍🏻
Cheers guys 😁👍🦎
from Temata Peak looking west about 30ks is my home village Bridge Pa lived there 45yrs ago thanks for memories
No worries! Thanks for watching hawkes bay is an amazing area and glad this video brought back some memories for you 😊 ✌
That penguin that swims around the glass, close to the the viewing area, has been there since a very young age and Thinks she's a human too. That's why she always comes close to hang out with guests ;)
Haha yes! Dora right? She was so cute and loved all the attention ☺️
haha when drone becomes more helpful than Google maps!
Haha I eventually worked out we needed to add walkway to the end 😅😅
Oh man those penguins are soo cute!! In Toronto we have a Ripleys Aquarium that's similar, but I don't think we have penguins lol
Penguins 🐧 are the cutest just not the one from batman 😂
@@PeterandYen hahah
Wow!I love it
🙂💕👍
I’ve been binged watching your videos. I just like your vibes as travel vloggers. Not airy..down-to-earth couple and i like your tiny piece of info about that particular place. I even used your video in Taupo as sort of itinerary when we went there last Sep 2020. 😄👏🏼👏🏼👍👍
Thanks so much Merlyn! ❤️ Glad you enjoy our videos and that they've even come in handy for your Taupo trip 😁👍 There's so many great places to visit in NZ ay? 🙂
We're definitely cannot walk too far as well ahaha.. 45mins max but drive to summit is even better 😝 the view tho, so worth it 😍
Hahahaha I think nick will peer pressure you to go!
That was Kool thank you from Aus
Heck this is so good and I have plans to revisit Napier later in the year so yeah cannot wait!
Napier is awesome, we also want to head back down there sometime before summer ends 😁
@@PeterandYen Yeah I was booked there back in November but delta put an end to that! Still can't wait to get back there too before summer finishes!
Great video! The Te Mata Peak is so amazing. I am looking forward to your video in Gisbourne
Thanks mate! Gizzys gonna be a good one too 😁👍
@@PeterandYen enjoy your time
Awesome vid guys,thats my hometown ,havelock north
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video 😁🤙🇳🇿
Nice vlog, NZ is so beautiful.
Thank you ❤
Great sharing my friend
Thanks 👍
Te Mata Peak WOW!! Incredible landscape!
Google maps really failed you in this one. Good thinking to put the drone up to find the wetlands.
Hahaha he kept saying Google should've just known better and that we wanted to go to the walkway 😅😅😂😂😂
Aquarium 😍😍😍
We love them too Peter, so thank you guys for showing us this
We got a lot in common 😁✌
Wow wants to visit soon
Beautiful place right? 😍⛰️
Te Mata Peak looks amazing! Will definitely be on my bucket list next time visiting Napier. Keep up the good work guys, good to see all the new places and also your perspective on the places i have been :)
Thanks Eric 👍 Definitely an amazing place to visit! The views were just so awesome and different everywhere you look 😍😍
Peter and Yen sounds so cool, thanks guys🙏
I would like to see more about that region!
We'll definitely be back sometime soon 😁👍
Hi Peter and Yen! Thank you for another awesome video! 😄 I was so surprised to hear that you are 35 😯 You both look really young! And Te Mata Peak's views were absolutely stunning, it went straight on my to-visit list for New Zealand!
Have a nice Sunday! 🤗
Hello Laura 😁👋 happy Sunday. 35 is still young right? Hahahaha thank you though. Yeah te mata is such a stand out location amazing place for sure hawkes bay definitely in our top 5 places to visit in North island 🏝
Peter and Yen haha yes off course it’s still young 😉I like to think that as long as people stay young at heart, there’s no age that is ‘old’ 😅
I’ll be looking forward to next week’s video!
Hahahaha well said 😁👍 Thanks Laura! Have an awesome week 👋
Hey my friends hope you are well and having a great start to the weekend so far. This place looks amazing, very nice indeed and very cool scenery. Great drone footage guys, you really captured the magic of the place. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us really appreciate it keep safe and take care my friends catch up soon God bless you both 🙏❤️👍
Thank you for the message glad you enjoyed this video 😁👍 take care!
Awesome drone shots! Love the little sheep 🐑 Stunning views aye! Nice to see you guys have quiet time away from vlogging, you both work so hard on your videos. Aww the lil penguins are adorable 😍 I like how they showcase kiwi’s and tuatara’s as well. The wetlands look awesome, nice place for a scenic walk. Hope you guys are doing well 😊
😅 we were going super well until a few hours ago... 4 community cases in South Auckland and now we're all back to level 3 for 3 days
Peter and Yen Oh wow. I guess it will be like this for a while with random cases popping up. At least NZ works fast to prevent cases. Stay safe guys!
Yea unfortunately it was inevitable I guess 😅 cheers you take care too 👍
Ooooo I love mountain biking!!!! I’d be too distracted by the sheep lol that view is amazing
Nice! Nz has quite a few good mountain biking 🚵♀️ trails
Hey Peter and Yen!! so great to see you and so awesome to see this adventure! Love the drone footage of the sheep, and it's absolutely beautiful there!! That's awesome there are lots of hiking and biking trails! With lots of mountain ranges here, we have to drive carefully too!! We feel the same way, sometimes you think the beauty and wonder can't get any better, and then you're pleasantly surprised!! That museum is really awesome to see as well, and the history of the Napier area.. We LOVE that Samurai armor. We love Aquariums.. we would love that place! And $15/person is really affordable! Awwwww... Fairy Penguins!! They are so beautiful! The shark feeding was so cool to see!! That's so crazy that lizard can outlive humans!! 100 is a long life! The wetlands are beautiful too, and sad to hear it's one of the last ones in the area. Thank you for taking us with you and love you guys to the mother effin' moon! ! Stay safe!
Hi girls 👋☺️ Hope you're both doing well! Te Mata has stunning views and best of all so easy to get to the summit unlike some others 😁👍⛰️ you know that tuatara is super cool.. it comes from an order of reptiles that thrived during the age of dinosaurs! It looks like a mini dinosaur I reckon lol and we were so lucky to see it coz they're really rare but also it doesn't normally come out of its little hiding spots and pose so perfectly like that apparently. It's really really still and slow too haha the staff there were telling us about how scientists discovered they apparently sometimes only register stress like 3 months later 😅 and they only breathe like once an hour I think it was. You can only find them in NZ too. Fascinating creatures! Take care you two and luv right back at ya 😁💕💕👋
What a gorgeous area. I'd love to fly the around there.
It's a stunner! 💕⛰️
The views of the rolling hills are beautiful each direction looks so different 😃 The aquarium is really cool! They have so many unique exhibits. The penguins are so cute and so are their names too😊 the tuatara looks like a little dinosaur. I remember reading about them. They have been around for such a long time!
They're such cool reptiles righ?t? Really fascinating and amazing ancient lineage 😍 it totally feels like a lil mini dinosaur 😁 I remembering seeing one as a kid and not being able to appreciate then how cool they are but as an adult it was like wow 😍 so special!
That museum is so cool.
I love places where I can learn about those kind of stuff, especially the earthquake and cultural parts
😁 yes! Totally with you on that. It's the best learn so much about why the town is the way that it is and you end up liking the place even more
Te Mata Peak looks stunning!!! Those mountains 😍😍😍 Omg Peter, stand back!! That's scary!! What happened to Peter's hair after that? hahaha!
😁✌ amazing cliff right! Beautiful views everywhere. What happens to my hair in te mata stays in te mata 😂
That looks sooo beautiful, the wetlands with the path in the middle, perfect for some great landscape photos
😍 say this almost every week but yen n i are so grateful to have grown up here NZ ❤
@@PeterandYen thats how I feel about Spain, Lieles not so much, we will have to adopt him in one of our countries ☺️
Nick is scared of heights so he will definitely ask me to be on the peak & he just film it 🤣😅
😂😂 nick... Nicholas... how can?
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁👍
There is the mangrove walkway in rawene hokianga Which is similar to the pekapeka walkway , cool
Ooo gonna need to check that out next time. Thanks for the recommendation!
Lieles says it's great you can drive all the way there because he was already thinking "oh no, not hiking" lol
Hahahaha imagining lieles waking up the 3 hours makes me smile
Very lovely north island road trip guys!
The 360 degree view spot looks really awesome. You guys are so blessed living in NZ, never get tired with the amazing view of NZ nature 😍
The museum and aquarium looks awesome too 👍🏻
Love to see some native NZ animals there.
Good tip about the toilet information in the description guys haha. As much as we love spend hours on the road to enjoy the view, sometimes it worries us if we can’t find any toilet when we need it 😅
So true! New Zealand just has beautiful views everywhere.. it's not difficult to get to many of them too which makes it even better ☺️👍 hahaha yeah toilet stops are definitely important! Most of the popular tourist spots will have toilets but I guess the wetlands isn't somewhere many go so they didn't have any there 😅 but yea Hawke's Bay is awesome, hope you guys get a chance to visit it one day 👍☺️
So beautiful 😍❤️
❤️⛰️☺️💯
Sooo awesome! Exquisite views, the verdant landscape, the sheer ruggedness of peaks! ✌💕 The underwater aquarium reminded me of Kelly Tarlton in Auckland.
It does right? ☺️ Have you and your hubby been to Te Mata before? Such an incredible view!
@@PeterandYen No. We plan to go everywhere in NZ after I return. 😁 long bucket list! 💕😂
You both are 35 years old? I thought you were still in your 20s. Wow, both look fabulous!
Haha thank you! 😁 Yea we'll both be 35 in like 2-3 few months' time 🙂
Amazing. I'm sitting here in Nepal where I'm based and watching you talk about Te Mata peak which I used to run, walk, climb and bike on constantly but haven't been there for nearly 20 years. Great vlogs about the Bay, I'm a new subscriber, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
Hi Jack 👋 wow Nepal that sounds like you're on an epic adventure? Thanks for subbing and glad to bring back some nostalgia for you 👍
@@PeterandYen Well it's a battle here at the moment, I work in wildlife conservation and illegal wildlife trade a massive issue, wouldn't make a fun vlog! But yeah, never a dull moment though. I'm going to have time to check out a few more of your videos tomorrow, you guys have created a wonderful lens, keep up the great work, I'm damn jealous about the food you eat :)
Feeding sharks .... I'm all excited here while Lieles is making faces hahahah
I wish we would have filmed the time we swam with sharks, we might just have to do it again
Ooooo that sounds so cool! Did you do the one in the aquarium or the cage with great white sharks? Would love to do the cage diving experience
@@PeterandYen none, we did it in the open sea hahaha
He will tell you the story one day when we meet in person hahaha
Oooo wow that sounds amazing! 😮
I remember years ago they use to have hang gliders jump off that peak.. they had their own launch runway. The MTG looks like a spectacular place to visit.
I really wanted to do that! Looked everywhere to see if I could find that experience but then went to the conclusion that maybe I dreamed it up. Thanks for confirming it was real 😂
Everytime i see MTG I think Magic, The Gathering (the trading card game). We've often joked about hosting events there.
Peter loves MTG!! Hahaha he use to play all the time and had an amazing rare foil collection 😁👍☺️
So yea when we saw MTG we thought of the card game at first too lol
@@PeterandYen Are you guys heading towards Auck or Welly?
King of Cards and Vagabond in Auckland, and Cerberus Games in Wellington do Geeky things like Magic cards. Wellington also has Board Game Cafe called Counter Culture.
Having my breakfast (last breakfast) and watching this beautiful well put video. Thank you both soooo much. It gave me excitement ooo and ahhhh watching how beautiful NZ is.
Google better behave.. haha 😂
Looks so cold but you guys gave us your best, as usual. Look forward to seeing Gizzy next.
Take care Guys. 💕💕
Hello aunty 👋😊 we had 3 amazing days in Hawkes Bay going to have to head back in summer. There are so many beautiful spots to check out. Hahaha yeah that Google or maybe it was just user error 🤔 😅 thanks for the lovely message have an amazing week ahead look forward to seeing what you eat next 😁✌❤
The country side with the rolling hills reminds me of Scotland or Ireland
We'd love to visit there one day too, bet it's amazing! 😍⛰️
Awesome videos! Been watching your North Island videos for our trip Nov 16-23 there in the North Island. I saw that you guys flew drones in several of your vlogs...could I get more details on how you did it? If I need to register my drone and how strict they are over there? (Australia seems very strict as I might not even try to fly it there.) I only do it recreationally and I have a DJI Mini 3 Pro which is 249 grams total to avoid additional regulations for drones 250 grams and over...thanks in advance for your help! if you guys are in town during our visit..lets grab a drink :) Cheers Marvin and Adrian
hello peter and yen . another great vid so look forward to these every week , yes i am lucky enough to have met you both and you guys are so natural .and to anyone that has never met you i will say this ,you are exactly the same in person as you are on these vids , now i guess knowing you both you probably feel awkward about me saying this but its true. i just wish that i was a younger guy so that i could get to know you both more . but hell yes it does look like the next time i visit it will have to be for at least 6 to 8 weeks oh so many nice places to see. please you two both take care and keep these vids coming , thank you
Hello Barry 💕👋 How have you been? Glad you enjoyed this video too! Haha yup you'll definitely need a longer trip next time you visit! 👍☺️ Thank you so much for your kind words and for always supporting our videos and cheering us on ❤️ we really appreciate it and always look forward to reading your comments each week 😁 Only 2 vlogs left for this series, there may be a couple more places that you might be keen to visit 🤞☺️ we're hoping to plan a South Island trip soon too 🤞😍
If I was working (Thanks Covid!) I would totally do a road trip every weekend now that I'm seeing yr amazing footage of God Zone aka Aotearoa
😅 yeah that darn pandemic... all the best with your future road tripping adventure though. Thanks for watching ✌😊
@@PeterandYen I'll tag you guys on IG when I do 👍
Looking forward to it 😁👍
So rare that you got to see the tuatara! I go to the aquarium many times a year and MAYBE get to see it once every few years. So Shy!
We were incredibly lucky!! Carlie was saying he doesn't normally go perch and pose on the rock all perfect like that 😍😍 I was looking at him in fascination for ages lolol such a cool creature. I reckon he looks like a mini dinosaur ☺️ I think a lot of kids unfortunately can't appreciate how special it is to see a tuatara but it was just really cool. I didn't realize they were more endangered than kiwi too 😮
That would be crazy if they had Great Whites in that aquarium. But I guess it would be inhumane
Yea I read that great whites just can't survive in captivity. They refuse to eat and/or get stressed then die or if they get released back to the wild after a few days they also can't survive and die too ☹️ so no aquariums in the world have them but they have tried before (ending in those sad results!)
I proposed to my wife exactly where you are standing in the thumbnail. Great video!
That would've been an epic proposal! Were you clutching the ring box tightly so as not to drop it? 😅
Of course 😊 it was about 6am with the sunrise too
Damn that would've been incredible 👍😁 nice work mate!
Wow, Te Mata Peak looks incredible!
I love Napier. I went there during a university Geography field trip. I did my research project on Art Deco buildings in Napier.
That's so cool! We really liked Napier and Te Mata was stunning 😍❤️⛰️
I’m with you Peter 1000000% on aquariums! My wife and I are such suckers for them, we got married at an aquarium:) Thanks for sharing another sliver of NZ beauty!
Yesss! Glad I'm not the only one hahaha. Been to Okinwa, Singapore, Hong Kong Auckland and now napier aquarium. Its my happy place. I often watch videos of aquariums here in RUclips too 😂 your wedding sounds awesome! Send some photos sometime.
Peter and Yen when this pandemic settles and you guys make it to the US... Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta!!! I could sit there all day!!! ...and of course, Monterey Aquarium...
Awesome! Cheers for the recommendation 😁👍 definitely keen to check those out
No. 1 yahoooo!
Cheeehooo 🥇
I'm here with my popcorn
😁👍 hope you enjoyed the vlog
I love how u grannies actually go to museums lol I’m not at that level yet but I’m sure some day.. lol
Hahahaha, I'm usually the one dragging yen. I'm really into history 😅 I really wanna go Greece too to see all the historic philosophy buildings museums and the sites of Alexander the great. Ima drag you to a museum one day too 😂
you have not been to Maunga Taranaki though?! hehehehe! WOW super beautiful, I am scared of heights so that was a lil scary watching Pete on that peak eeeek!
Haven't been to Mount Taranaki yet we are planning on going there in the next couple of months though cause we heard there are cherry bosoms in spring 😁👌 hahaha yeah the peak was pretty awesome but will give you the jitters if you're afraid of heights. Wait till you see the west Auckland video 😁
*Blossoms 😂😂🌸🌸🌸
@@PeterandYen YAY! Taranaki is a lot better in the spring just because during winter it's freezing. omg if you are talking about Mercer Loop. I did that loop last year and my cousins were freaking me out! Look forward to the vlog.
Yup we did the mercer loop. 😅 can totally imagine some of those stops would be a bit nerve racking if you're afraid of heights especially
Peter get down from there, my entire world is shaking
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 yeah those high ridges are not for people scared of heights
Hello Peter and Yan, good morning from Malaysia.
Hello Walter 😁👋👋 what part of Malaysia are you from? Yen is from Malacca 👍☺️
@@PeterandYen I actually born and raised in Kedah, now settled down in KL. I am now watching your videos to plan for my 3rd visit (or more) to NZ once the pandemic and travel restriction eases. Love NZ very very much. From the video I guess both of you had your child hood and emigrated to NZ since young? G9.
Ahh nice 👍☺️ Hope you get lots of ideas then for your epic trip! Yea both our families migrated to NZ when we were very little kids (3 for me and 4 for Yen) so we grew up in and spent our lives in New Zealand 😁🇳🇿
@@PeterandYen I still remembered vividly when at Napier, which most travellers would give it a miss due to distance. Yeah that Waipunga Falls was an unplanned scenic stop along the drive from Taupo to Napier. Its very windy at the Te Mata Peak I still can recalled. Napier Art Deco city is absolutely gems with colorful buildings of all shape and size. Would visit again to Napier next time.
Yea it's definitely worth a visit to napier when visiting the North Island of NZ ☺️👍 did you get to go to Gisborne too? Also east coast of North Island.
I’m loving all the drone shots you’ve used. Which type of drone is it?
Thanks Matt! It's a dji mavic pro platinum ☺️ Peter recently changed some settings for it so it's been taking much nicer footage now 😁✌️
You should go to mangawhai it in NZ Auckland
Please give it a go please
Thank you for the recommendation! We will definitely go there and make a vlog at some point 😁🤙
Is that a ummmmmmm DJI blah blah? That little camera on the tripod?
