Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruises
Summer 2015 in Akaroa has been fantastic so far. This season we have captured some brand new aerial footage of our Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise to bring you the most scenic video we have shot to date.
From the extinct volcanic caves, to playful Hector's dolphins and fur seals doing the tango...yes, the tango....or something aquatically similiar, this short film captivates the tranquility and wonder of time out in Akaroa.
Akaroa harbour has to be the jewel in the crown of Banks Peninsula...and if you wondering why just click PLAY
Akaroa Black Cat Cruise Sea Princess video
We're lucky to have cruise ships come and visit us in Akaroa throughout the summer season. Since the Christchurch earthquakes the cruise ships have helped many of us to maintain a business and we love to welcome their passengers on board and show them our slice of New Zealand. The Sea Princess came on-board to film a video about our Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruise for their ships passengers...and we think they did a very good job indeed!

New Zealand Sheep Farm Experience in AKAROA (Christchurch)l Cruise Vlog l Ep. 12
I LOVE sheep (for some reason) so a bucket list excursion of mine was to visit a sheep farm while in New Zealand. So, off I went to visit sheep in Akaroa! I booked this tour through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer this tour. It is called: TRADITIONAL AKAROA FARM EXPERIENCE and here is the description from NCL's website:
“Experience life on a traditional New Zealand sheep farm, where six generations of the Johns family have their 900-acre property. A short ride brings you Paua Bay Farm, nestled among extensive gardens. The charming farmhouse is the centerpiece of this expansive working farm. As many as 4,500 sheep, cattle and deer roam the rural acreage.
You'll be greeted by Murray Johns, who will share stories of the family's history and about farming in New Zealand. Then, the eager sheep dogs take center stage and demonstrate their talents for herding sheep, while following their master's commands. If you'd like, you can participate in separating the sheep, before moving to the woolshed, where Murray will elaborate on the life of a sheep shearer.
In addition to watching farming activities, you'll also have time to stroll the garden of native plants and relax over tea and homemade scones.”

Akaroa Dolphins | When the guests of honour arrive

Akaroa, New Zealand
Recorded January 14, 2007.
Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name—the name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for Long Harbour. Akaroa is 82 kilometres by road from Christchurch, and is the terminus of State Highway 75. The permanent population was 576. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village. Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour.
The video begins on a hill full of sheep as I look down on Akaroa Harbour. The rest of the video is of my Black Cat Wildlife Cruise. Here we cruise around an extinct volcanic crater and experience majestic scenery and stunning wildlife including the rare, native dolphin - the Hector's Dolphin as well as penguins and other sea birds. We also see giant volcanic sea cliffs.

Captivating Canterbury - Mount Cook, Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo, Christchurch, Akaroa
THIS IS IT! Our final New Zealand episode, for now... Come for the mountains, stay for the lakes and dolphins. The scenery is breathtaking. It's legendary! If you only watch one of our New Zealand episodes, it should probably be this one! (BUT you really should watch *all* of them!)
Mount Cook
Come hike the Hooker Valley and Sealy Tarns tracks with us. The incredible views are not to be missed! The snowcapped mountains are majestic, standing tall and mighty. The snow means it's some of the coldest nights we'll have in Blue Steel. See how bundled up we are, and what it's like to sleep in a van. #vanlife. Mount Cook aka Aoraki, Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain, and just one of 19 peaks over 3000m tall. Mount Cook National Park is a rugged land of ice and rock; did you know that 40% of the park is covered by glaciers?!
Lake Pukaki
Everyone loves blue waters, right?! Take a look at the one of the bluest lakes in all of New Zealand - Lake Pukaki. The glacial feed to the lakes gives them a distinctive blue color, created by glacial flour, the extremely finely ground rock particles from the glaciers.
Lake Tekapo
Lake Tekapo was one of the hardest places to leave because of it's beauty. It also signified the end of our NZ adventures in Blue Steel. Watch the sunset with us at the top of Mount John, where the University of Canterbury's observatory is located. See one of NZ's most photographed churches: Church of the Good Shepard, which features an altar window that frames views of the lake and mountains. We also go ICE SKATING for the first time in a decade. Will adventureViV be able to stay upright on the ice? Watch to find out!
***After our final New Zealand adventures, the CameraMan goes on a rant to update you everything that’s happened in our final weeks in New Zealand as we try to sell our beloved minivan, Blue Steel.***
Christchurch
WWOOFing in Christchurch was one of the most amazing experiences we could have ever hoped for. We had an incredible host who made us feel like we were home. Thank you for inviting us into your home and life ❤ Our favorite place to visit in Christchurch was the Botanical Gardens! We’re surrounded by autumn colors as we stroll through the (FREE) garden. Hang out with us in the suburbs of Christchurch: Sumner, Lyttleton, and New Brighton. You’ll definitely enjoy the stunning views
Akaroa
Akaroa is a historic French and British settlement nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano. We decided to spend our final two weeks in New Zealand WWOOFing in Akaroa. To our delight, WWOOFing in Akaroa turned out to be more like housesitting! We absolutely LOVED it! We took care of the cats, chickens, and occasional B&B guest while spending two weeks in Akaroa. The best part of our stay: swimming with the dolphins! Thanks to Black Cat Cruises for an incredible experience - and for taking us out on such a fortuitous day where we’d see albatross, blue penguins and a male orca!!
Blue Steel
The #vanlife has been an unforgettable journey. We’ve explored the northernmost areas down to the southernmost areas of the North and South Islands in loyal and reliable Blue Steel. However, as our New Zealand travels were coming to an end, it was time to find new owners for Blue Steel. Do we succeed? Or will we have to drive Blue Steel off a cliff for some EPIC drone footage (and the insurance claim, of course)?! Find out in this episode!
Shoutouts
Thanks to our maple-syrup covered, hockey-loving, tuque-wearing, Canadian-BFF SETH G for allllll of the birthday love (especially the ice-cream sandwich)! The CameraMan couldn’t be more thankful to have you as a friend!
Thanks to my brother Stefan for all of the birthday love, also! What a nice surprise - you shouldn’t have done that!

For all of you GADGET GEEKS
