BackpackerGuide.NZ 12 months for now but I have the option to extend if I run out of time to complete all the things on your list! The information on entering the country in particular has been a big help as I was a bit nervous I’d miss something out!
Really like all the videos, it give good guidance as a first time traveller to NZ. Spent amazing 10 days road trip started from Auckland - Hobbiton - Wellington - Franz Josef - Lake Tekapo - Queenstown - Milford Sound - Te Anau.
I really really love you guys ! It's always been my dream to come visit New Zealand, it's gonna take quite some time for me to raise enough funds to do so, but thanks for all the videos that keep my dream alive ! Don't ever stop ! Love the stuff you put up !
joel george Don't worry, Joel, we will never stop! We are super passionate about NZ as you can see and have spent the last 3 years dedicating our lives to producing content for our Backpackerguide.nz website. Thanks for your motivating words :) we really hope your dream to come to NZ will come true soon!
Awesome! You'll have a blast! If you need any help preparing for your Stray trip, we have heaps of advice on backpackerguide.nz - www.backpackerguide.nz/category/travel-tips/transportation/bus/
Hey, no worries, Tai! We're super glad you're finding our vids useful. I'm sure you've stumbled on it already, but just in case have you seen our Working Holiday video -> ruclips.net/video/zX6o67TW-gM/видео.html
I love this. I've seen the video of you surfing at Raglan and was meaning to watch some others but then this came up on my feed so I had to click :D NZ has recently become a priority on my bucket list although I'll have to save for a couple of years before traveling there Haha! Perhaps having a gap year of my own :D
We couldn't recommend a gap year enough! A working holiday is the best way to do it if you are tight on funds. It's how we both were able to come to NZ in the first place :) Here's more info in our video anyway: ruclips.net/video/zX6o67TW-gM/видео.html ;)
OMG YOU TWO ARE AWESOME!!!!! I love your videos. We are going to be in New Zealand for 4 to 5 months from November to March or April. If there was any way to collaborate with a channel, I would like to collaborate with you guys!!! You should be one of the top channels on New Zealand!!!!
Awwwww... Thanks guys! It feels so great to get some feedback like that :) Feel free to give a few of our videos a cheeky share, like, and all that stuff, maybe with your help we can help even more travellers. And yep hit us up on Facebook or by email when you know your travel dates so we can arrange a meet up :)
Thanks Kelly! We're stocked to hear that we're helpful ;) Much more info is available on backpackerguide.nz and we have heaps more videos coming up! Stick around!
Nice! Kaikoura is one of our favourite spots on the east coast :) How about the east coast of the North Island? We're actually releasing a video everyday about the Gisborne region at the moment. ruclips.net/p/PLMXAQO8x57iWBtHNqxT8tVRxjGyKP739d
We are RVing from Auckland to Christchurch with 5 kids...hoping to see Waitomo, Hobbittown, Rotorua/Waiotapu, Lake Taupo/Huka Falls, Ferry to Frans Joseph/ Mt Cook/Hooker Valley/ Lake Tekapo, Queenstown Wanaka/luge, Milford Sound (boat tour), Lake Tekapo, Christchurch. You think we can swing it? We have 9 days.
WOW! it looks like you guys are going to be super busy! But yeah it should work, maybe just do Hobbiton as a stop over between Waitomo and Rotorua so you save yourself a day.
It really depend what you have on your ToDo list. Usually we recommend having NZ$5500+return flight and insurance. Check out this video about the cost of backpacking in NZ where we go more in depth into it -> ruclips.net/video/Y_jUzlg6jZs/видео.html
