[@CosmicUnicorn2]

Awesome island trip and the volcano view super cool! Everytime i see your trip videos i just keep thinking i gotta go even if it takes me 24 hours to get there.

[@mari.johnson]

Yes! It's worth the flight. You can just catch up on movies and then all of sudden be in a new country!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Added to the bucket list. That island is SO cool! Isn't that the best sleeping on an uninhabited island? We did something similar at Maya Bay in the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand. I'd love to do it again there in New Zealand. Thanks for sharing and giving us more travel ideas. :) -Brian

[@mari.johnson]

I would love to do that at Maya Bay! Hope you do this one!

[@kirstinwelch9703]

Mari, I love your videos. It's giving me so many ideas for my return trip to NZ.

[@mari.johnson]

Glad to give you some inspiration! :)

So lovely! And thanks for including the lighthouse. I may have mentioned my affinity for them :) And my affinity for your vlogs only keeps going up and up. That shot @ 4:28..the sun setting and the ship going by...OMG wow. It's so hard to pick a best part!

[@mari.johnson]

Yeah it was a cool lighthouse! The oldest in the Auckland area, if I remember correctly. I must say, Nick took that shot of the ship going by! It is a good one :) Cheers, Scott!

[@annettelane659]
