  • Feb 2020 - This video highlights our recent hike of our 4th New Zealand Great Walk - the Rakiura Track on Stewart Island. It shows track & campsite condition along with animals & overall beauty captured along the way.
    Stewart Island (aka Rakiura) is an international dark sky sanctuary and didn't disappoint. It's also a kiwi haven, of which we heard many, but we failed to see any. Others lucky campers saw them along the track. From beaches to beech forest, this track was by far the easiest of the the New Zealand Great Walks we've completed to date.
    We chose to stay in campsites instead of huts and experienced fantastic weather! The ferry ride from Bluff (South Island) to Oban (Stewart Island) was rather pricey driving the cost of the Great Walk to much higher levels than it could/should have been. Camps (of which there were two), were $6 NZD / person and the ferry was $318 NZD total.

      In our opinion, it was a little too much mud for a "Great Walk". Overall it was an enjoyable walk though.

      Agreed - too much mud for a great walk for sure! It was fine and even fun at first, but then just wore us out.

    If you’re going to bother flying all the way to NZ and make the effort of doing these walks & recording yourselves, at least learn how to pronounce the names right!
    Seriously - Mayoorey?

      We sincerely apologize and mean no offense by how we pronounce words. We misprounce names in the US too so it's definitely our issue and not intentional. We also got called out for calling ferns palms and other similar type errors. We try, but unfortunately fail many, many times. We'll keep trying, failing, and learning, but will never be perfect. Thanks for being so tolerant though. 😉

      @@ourlifev3 Maybe try asking a local, then you will have the pronunciation right without having to try and fail?
