Exploring Tuatapere (and Meeting New Zealand Locals) – New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year

Day 153: Today we are exploring the little town of Tuatapere in the region of Southland New Zealand! After failing to do the Humpridge Track, we check out what else this New Zealand town has to offer! It’s a great chance to meet the New Zealand locals and experience that Kiwi hospitality!

Yesterday - Day 152➜

-- About this video --

So not everything goes to plan when we make our way to the beginning of the Humpridge Track only to learn that it’s a steep and narrow gravel road to get there and our campervan is not up for the job. Instead, we decide to explore Tuatapere!

First up, we check out the Blue Cliffs Beach in Te Waewae Bay. This is a rugged part of the South Island coastline at the bottom of the Fiordland National Park. It’s a great place for a walk, to look out for marine life as it’s part of a marine reserve, and look out for greenstone.

Following our walk on the Blue Cliffs Beach, we head back into the town of Tuatapere, drop off the campervan at the Tuatapere Backpackers and take a walk in the Tuatapere Gardens. We come across the quirky Yesteryears Cafe and Museum, so we go in and meet Helen who make amazing Pavlova! Pavlova is a traditional Kiwi desert which has to be tried in New Zealand if you get the chance.

After mingling with Helen in the Yesteryears Cafe, we head back to the Tuatapere Backpackers to feed some animals with the owner, Murray, then go mingle with some more New Zealand locals in the local bar, Highway 99 Bar in Tuatapere. Here, we learn about the famous Southland deer mating call competitions they have as well as more things about Southland New Zealand.

Although today didn’t go to plan it’s been about about meeting locals in New Zealand!

The Three Sisters in Taranaki - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – BackpackerGuide.NZ

Day 49: Today we are heading north of New Plymouth to The Three Sisters in Taranaki. This is an amazing part of Taranaki coastline with three stone stacks.

Yesterday - Day 48 -

Tomorrow – Day 50 –

About this video:

Today we are driving north of New Plymouth to see three amazing rock formations called the Three Sisters. They sit along the rugged Taranaki coastline just outside of a small town called Tongaporutu. This also used to be the site of Elephant Rock before it lost its trunk in an earthquake...

You can only reach the Three Sisters in Taranaki at low tide, but we arrive an hour into low tide, giving us limited time to spend with the Three Sisters. Nevertheless, the whole walk to the Three Sisters alongside sheer cliffs and awesome rock formations is a stunning one. There are also arches and boulders to see.

Along the way we find a merman and his princess, so they join us for the walk back from the Three Sisters.

So what do you think of the Three Sisters in Taranaki (and The Elephant Rock before it lost its trunk)? Are the Three Sisters somewhere you would add to your New Zealand travels?

Today we have a long drive from Marahau to the Nelson Lakes National Park, so we get to enjoy the changing scenery standard from a New Zealand roadtrip. We reach the beginning of the Southern Alps which means we’ve hit the beautiful Nelson Lakes National Park.

We park up at Lake Rotoiti which is just off the main state highway and half a minute drive from the town of St Arnaud. First things first, we need to get that token photo of the Lake Rotoiti Jetty!

Here, we see wildlife, especially eels (tuna in Maori) under the jetty, as well as crazy-looking ducks and swans.

We also find “the hidden” Lake Rotoiti Jetty for your viewing pleasure.

Well, there’s not much else to say about Lake Rotoiti other than there are a couple of hikes in the area should you want to go exploring more.

So what do you think of Lake Rotoiti? Is it worth a pit stop for a South Island Road Trip? Let us know!
