A New Zealand Adventure (South Island) - Abel Tasman, Franz Josef Glacier, Queesntown, Kaikoura
In November 2019, my friend Susy and I did the roadtrip of a lifetime to New Zealand, and these videos give just a glimpse into the amazing 3 weeks we spent there.
The adventure continues on South Island, where, after leaving the ferry in Picton, we drove along the north coast to Abel Tasman (a national park with a coastal hike that takes several days). Sadly due to time limits we couldn't do all the hike, but despite that the first few kms were still beautiful and full of wildlife.
The next day we drove down the west coast to Franz Josef Glacier, stopping off along the way to see the totalyl unique Punakaiki pancake rocks).
After leaving Franz Josef, we were treated to spectacular views throughout Mount Aspiring National Park (chiefly Lake Wanaka), until we finally reached Queenstown. Due to weather conditions on our first day, our planned canyon swing was cancelled, but Susy still managed to get a bungee jump in despite the rain. The next day it was my turn to jump, and then the afternoon was spent white water rafting (sadly no footage of this either, as we weren't allowed cameras down the rapids, sorry again!).
After the few days at Queenstown, it was time for the 9 hour drive up the east coast to Kaikoura. Here we got to see all sorts of wildlife that calls this peninsula their home (I have to apologise in advance for the shaky footage whilst on the whale watching boat, i did my best whilst filming and editing to smooth it out, but there's only so much i can do!).
Our final stop of South Island was the Malborough sounds, from where the ferry leaves and takes us back to North Island for our final few days in New Zealand
