These are my TOP places on the NORTH Island of NEW ZEALAND! Just got back from a whirlwind scouting trip to NZ working on a deal with American Airlines. If you are from New Zealand comment down below your favorite places on the North Island!
I live in New Zealand. So all this doesn't excite me. But I tend to enjoy people experiencing New Zealand for the first time. You did a great job! Visit the South Island, they by far have the better views for your camera/drone shots.
who actually lives in new Zealand but has done like none of these things ........only me, ok then but i've gone to lake karapiro and gone on the big challengy course thingy it was fun mate and ive been to the water hole at aongatete camp and i've been to waimarino and i went on the big blob boi i went high
If you ever come back here to us I 100% reccommend the Waitomo caves they are one of the most famous places in New Zealand and they are absolutely magical!
Every foreigner: Wow New Zeland is the best country in the world it's so cool! NZ people / Kiwi's: Nz is the best country, yeah Nah its all good. But the faking rain
@Goku Also i went to some places that had rubbish bins that were either overgrown (for like an eternity) and/or not emptied for said eternity :( Never left any rubbish behind though...
*These travel vlogs blow my mind!!* Always finding the best things to do wherever you go and display it using the most high quality shots possible! Amazing work Erik!!
Insane, i just have been there 2 Month ago, and i actually did all that u did - besides the Jump in Auckland! New Zealand is the best Country in the World! U have to check it out!
If you come back to New Zealand you have to go to piha beach - 40 mins away from Auckland mad dangerous with the waves but hella worth it (DON’t go swimming there though) and at the top of the north island where the land meets the ocean. WOW what a view!
The beaches at Whangarei also can't be beat! Whale Bay, Taurikura, Sandy beach, Matapouri, you name it! Here the average person probably goes to the beach 20 times a summer! I personally go more.
MORE NEW ZEALAND!!!!, You should go to Whangarei home to 100 beaches, and built in a volcanic crater, go to the top look out point ( Mt Parihaka ) Churr bol, Welcome to New Zealand,
I’m a New Zealander and a North Islander. I say spend more time in the South Island! It’s absolutely stunning down there! I lived in the South Island for two years and I love it! The North Island has some really awesome places too but I think South is more unique.
If you ever want to do some more stuff in the north island go to Waitomo, its where I grew up, there are glow worm caves, bush hikes, cave walks, black and white water rafting where you literally go through a cave, and that's not even scratching the surface of all my little hometown offers, highly recommend trust me you will not regret it.
Kiwis are incredible people, and immensely proud of their own backyard. They are some of the most welcoming and friendly people in the world with a great sense of humour. Bursting with equal amounts of local insight and infectious enthusiasm for all things Kiwi, locals go above and beyond, pointing visitors in the direction of all that's awesome about New Zealand.
NZ is unbelievable. Been to all these places during my many visits. Every ten minutes you drive you will come to places one can have a picnic or admire. Great place to visit
Brooooo, when did you go??? I was just up north to basically all the places you were like 2 days ago. But so happy you got to New Zealand man, its so bloody gorgeous aye, but wait till you get to the south island, then you're in for a treat. Love your stuff dude!!!
Also come to Wellington it’s amazing it’s has a museum that show cases the New Zealanders in world war 1 unless it’s 2 but it’s amazing. Hamilton has beautiful gardens there , New Plymouth is a pretty cool place it was an amazing art gallery definitely check it out. Good to see you enjoyed you stay in New Zealand. And forgot to mention you can walk up to amazing hunts in the mountain ( taranaki ) you can go to my ruapahu as ski or snowboard Down bits of the mountain it’s the best!! If you go far up north past Auckland there’s massive sanduns that you can go down with some things not to sure what there cool. Definitely recommend you come to these places.
Been there last summer its extraordinary so much nature. The scenery is breathtaking worthwhile visting. The Waitomo caves are a must believe me we absolutely enjoyed our short stay.
Yeah or like Milford sound or something (I mean I live in the north island but the south island is also super cool or even better) and especially places like the remarkables and queenstown
These are my TOP places on the NORTH Island of NEW ZEALAND! Just got back from a whirlwind scouting trip to NZ working on a deal with American Airlines. If you are from New Zealand comment down below your favorite places on the North Island!

Same here no one seem to care about NZ its always about Aussie
Kiwis you mean

Harrison Lowry the official lol ur so right
"You can experience all 4 seasons in one day."
That's the most New Zealand thing I have ever heard
Roberto Huevo Being a NZer living in Australia, I can confirm that Melbourne experiences WAYYYYY more variations lmao
Its true but its winter here
New Zealand is Small, but better. Because of the Rainforest, Harbours Bridge, Mid Volcano, experiencing 4 seasons in a day, and more! 😅
GOD it's sooo true
So true it was raining 5minutes ago the sun was out and then it got very windy and it’s pouring down. Nothing the like good kiwi weather
Ay it's not a rainforest.. it's a bush
Or the wop wops.
Sounds
subtropical rain forest - thats what our bush is
Definately a bush 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
MORE NEWZEALAND! MORE NEWZEALAND!! MORE NEWZEALAND!!!

No but you must be...
@Hana Najm i love this vid from New Zealand i live in Taupo New Zealand if you come to New Zealand i recommend coming to Taupo

He made me laugh so hard, when he said that!
Ik

Yeah that is what I was going to say
I live in New Zealand. So all this doesn't excite me. But I tend to enjoy people experiencing New Zealand for the first time. You did a great job!
Visit the South Island, they by far have the better views for your camera/drone shots.
Kiwi here, and this is still eye opening to see from a tourist POV.
We do tend to take it for granted when we live here ; )
i wouldn't say far better. they're just different.
Same
Hello Jade..Are you a immigrant or native New Zealand like Maori..Just curious..Sorry..

........only me, ok then
but i've gone to lake karapiro and gone on the big challengy course thingy it was fun mate and ive been to the water hole at aongatete camp and i've been to waimarino and i went on the big blob boi i went high
Sounds like someone lives in the mighty Waikato.
I live in Matamata so I kinda had to go 🙂
I live in Christchurch and I’ve never really been out of there
Me, but then I appreciate other beauties of new Zealand! I don't have to be doing white water rafting to see beautiful nature here in my home 😍

It makes me happy when others from different countries enjoy my country New Zealand. Ka pai👍
Ai e hoa
Korea

Jude Kynoch Yeah it’s a subtropical rainforest but we never think of it as a rainforest , I know I call it the bush 😂
Jude Kynoch true bro
Whup Whups
Known as a second hand shag pad co
Pretty much aye
If you ever come back here to us I 100% reccommend the Waitomo caves they are one of the most famous places in New Zealand and they are absolutely magical!
Duffer I love that place
wb huka falls
Next time you should do the tongariro crossing ❤️❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿
When you've lived in New Zealand all your life and you had no idea any of this existed... I need to go out more
You have to be kidding 😂
Same
Same tbh
same dude same
YEP
*chokes on air*
So your telling me you didn't go to Waitomo caves or Huka Falls?
Ikr huka falls is the BEST
Yeah just don’t try to raft em
I went to Waitomo for a week, at school camp. IT WAS EPIC
@@catzkeet4860 - At least not the way Peter Plumley Walker 'rafted' those falls....
BLASPHAMY!!! SACRALAGE!! HOW DARE HE
My favorite place in New Zealand? Go south mate... fiordland National park is the absolute #1!
YES it's beautiful
His question is "North Island" He even made "North" in Bold Caps. Fiordland is South Island.
King Country Kiwi no shit Sherlock 😑
Nah go do the Nelson water walk (has a different name now) there's natural rope swings beautiful clear water and bush as far as the eye can see.
Yes! Although it’s not north island that’s totally where it’s at
Every foreigner: Wow New Zeland is the best country in the world it's so cool!
NZ people / Kiwi's: Nz is the best country, yeah Nah its all good. But the faking rain
Depends where you live.... at doesn't rain too much here in hawkes bay
Braystar spent 7 months in Dunedin before I went back to the states
So true nz is ok I live in nz so it's like meh
OMG so true
Braystar the rain is controlled in the more southern parts of the north island like Hawke’s bay
Who else is proud to be from new Zealand? 😎
Probibly 90% of the viewers ..lol
lester crest me
lester crest me
Me. The only downside is...NO WOLVES 😢
Me
You missed the coromandel, Mt Maunganui and tongariro national park.. and the whole south island (The best part) sweet video though :)
lastboyscoutNZ mt maunganui😍😍 the best place
i used to live in mt maunganui. love the place ❤️
Mt Maunganui is a shit hole 😂😂😂
North island is the best part to be honest
onemana beach, waihi gold mine, and the beach hop whangamata
I love how he keeps saying “rainforest”, I guess technically it is but everyone just calls it the bush
or wop wops
He's calling it a rainforest cause it's raining, like it always is in NZ
when he said the rainforest I'm like we have a rainforest I thought we only had bush
Yes, more New Zealand! Go up further north of Auckland and see Cape Reinga and the Bay of Islands. Do a meetup too!!!
Miracle&Marion T yesss! My dad went to hs in the bay of islands
I'm in New Zealand it is a amazing place and am happy to be here
and if you do decide to come to New Zealand, please keep it clean!
@Goku Also i went to some places that had rubbish bins that were either overgrown (for like an eternity) and/or not emptied for said eternity :( Never left any rubbish behind though...
yes but you cant just blame the tourists, it's us too :(
School kids the trash they drop is insane
We sure will... going January
“places in nz you won’t believe exist”
*starts with auckland*
...u right, can’t believe that place exists 😤
Hahaha..that's what I thought too
What's wrong with Auckland?
Paea Tupou It’s a shithole full of crime and cunts, also it’s the largest city so it doesn’t really fit in with his title
Paea Tupou what’s right with it is the question
Hamilton
I'm so lucky to be a proud New Zealander
same
Same here
me too
@aston plays Kiwi girl here.
I would like to too
I feel like the comments are just filled with New Zealanders😂😂😂
Most of the vlogs are filled with kiwis commenting..and correcting everyone..
That’s an interesting name you have..
Yeah, nah...
Hahha probably. Maori and that too lo
Yasss kiwi’s Kai Pai (good job)
*These travel vlogs blow my mind!!* Always finding the best things to do wherever you go and display it using the most high quality shots possible! Amazing work Erik!!
Erik, drone shots are really smooth and vibrant!
The only thing that bothers me is how he mispronounces the Maori words
I think he did pretty good considering he is American, give him a break he did it.Even some New Zealanders can not say them correctly..
He's American you can't expect him to speak our language perfect lol
he did rotorua pretty good but just the white way lmao 😂 i'm māori and they were close for an american with a different accent
A trip to New Zealand sounds like trying to seek discomfort👌🏻 nothing better to make you feel alive!
Ps.More New Zealand pleasee
Maria Volleyballover No we don't all do that. Lots of us just chill at the beach drinking really good wine. 😀
Very proud to be from New Zealand rn!
Oh god that’s sweet he tried so hard to say wai-o-tapu
I usually watch boring stuff, such as car reviews, Family Guy, news, crime stuff, but this is so much more refreshing. Life is beautiful.
Who else lives in NZ? I feel so special for once
Welcome to N.Z maybe a small country but has such beautiful places to see. Hope you come back for more.
Your channel is worth more than a billion subscribers!!! I've never seen anything this beautiful, inspires me to get out and explore the world..
love how appreciated i am as a rotorua and nzer i feel very very appreciated
Insane, i just have been there 2 Month ago, and i actually did all that u did - besides the Jump in Auckland! New Zealand is the best Country in the World! U have to check it out!
Good for tourists, but new Zealand has alot of unseen problems
Carrie Allen :- means??
@@idgaf2671 What are you talking about New Zealand has no more problems than any other country
Carrie Allen like what?
Thank you, we have no problems, only in the mind of pessimistic people!!!!
Amazing Erik! Thanks for always inspiring me to keep pushing on with my channel. Keep killing it brother!
thanks for the love!
Of course dude! Keep living your best life! :)
Im not from New Zealand but I've lived here for most my life so I really enjoyed this
Coromandel Peninsula, Waitomo caves, hot water beach and Kerosene creek in Rotorua
Chloe Hasler agree
Awesome. I'm looking forward to getting down there one of these days and checking it out for myself.
These are the tipes of videos that make me proud to be New Zealander
If you come back to New Zealand you have to go to piha beach - 40 mins away from Auckland mad dangerous with the waves but hella worth it (DON’t go swimming there though) and at the top of the north island where the land meets the ocean. WOW what a view!
and of course the 'Mandel, as it's known as around here.
The beaches at Whangarei also can't be beat! Whale Bay, Taurikura, Sandy beach, Matapouri, you name it!
Here the average person probably goes to the beach 20 times a summer! I personally go more.
Australians: Yeah, I know a little bit about NZ...
Every other country: What the heck is New Zealand???
Yep, we're lonely.
EXACTLY
So true
The truth kinda hurts
Mhm
I'm Asian... and i know a bit about New Zealand
Also because i'm one of the countries of Asia that lives the closest to NZ
Thank You For The Amazing Vid. New Zealand is definitely one of my top 10 destinations on our bucket list. I can’t wait to get there ourselves.
This makes me so proud to be a New Zealander how people find our beautiful home so fascinating , how he describes it, it’s just amazing ❤️
MORE NEW ZEALAND!!!!, You should go to Whangarei home to 100 beaches, and built in a volcanic crater, go to the top look out point ( Mt Parihaka ) Churr bol, Welcome to New Zealand,
By the Way Erik We Call The "Rain Forest'' "The Bush"
Leo Kapea 😂 😂 we all do
More New Zealand ❤️ And do a meet up!!
Waiheke! ❤️
Everyone: When people say imagine all 4 seasons in not 1 year or month but in 1 day.
Me: Why I are you talking about my daily weather here in NZ.
Exactly 😂 damn it's been hot cold warm thunder lightning you name it
I was wondering since yesterday when's Erik's next video coming and I'm so happy now. You inspire me a lot. And yeah, totally love your videos
Thank you man! Next week’s video a million dollar listing apartment tour
@@erikvanconover Will be waiting, Cheers.
I’m a New Zealander and a North Islander. I say spend more time in the South Island! It’s absolutely stunning down there! I lived in the South Island for two years and I love it! The North Island has some really awesome places too but I think South is more unique.
Kia ora, I'm from New Zealand and I love this video. Thank you for filming this. I know all this but wanted to watch this. 🤗🤗😁😁😄😄☺️☺️

VeraXoxo_101 yeah I know I just didn’t wanna say te papa because he might not know what I was talking about since it’s Maori
I come from Auckland and have done all of these I can agree that they are amazing.
it’s kinda funny, I’ve lived in New Zealand for 15 years and have never once been to raglan 🤣
MORE NEW ZEALAND!! I'm from nz and my favourite place is my hometown Napier/hawkes bay.
