-- About this video --
This morning we wake up on D’Urville Island to the sound of New Zealand native birds. We see weka, tui, bellbird and more thriving here on D’Urville Island.
We are staying in the D’Urville Island Wilderness Resort which has some very affordable options for backpackers.
We love the pace of life on D’Urville Island, island life. We hang out with our hosts at the D’Urville Island Wilderness Resort, have breakfast, then one of our hosts offers to take us to a D’Urville Island lookout by 4WD. We’re in!
After an insane drive up to the top of D’Urville Island, we get some awesome views. We head back down the D’Urville Island Wilderness Resort and hop into a fishing boat for some fishing at D’Urville Island.
After catching some blue cod at D’Urville Island, we go see a seal colony before journeying to the French Pass Whirlpools. The French Pass Whirlpools are a bizarre sight seen from boat or for the lookout walk in French Pass.
Back on dry land, we are in French Pass about to take the French Pass Road back to Okiwi Bay.
What do you think of D’Urville Island? Would you stay overnight in D’Urville Island?

New Zealand, South Island 2018: DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Sony A6500 CINEMATIC Travel
Spent about three days in North Island and 8 days on South Island on a camper van from Maui rentals. It is easily one of my favorite trips. Just the open road with my fiancé. We drove about 1,600 km starting from Queenstown making our way to Christchurch. If we could do it all over again, which we will hopefully next year, we would spend all our time on South Island. We rented an Ultima 2 series from Maui rentals. Will be putting out a few vlogs soon, including reviews to the camper van, camp sites and tips during our stay in New Zealand.

Driving The French Pass Road - Nelson, New Zealand
French Pass Road 2013 - :-)
Jump aboard for an early morning trip on part of the French Pass road. I make this trip many many times over the year when going fishing at Stephens Island or Durville Island. This is only 20 mintues of a two and a half hour trip from Nelson to French Pass but it gives you a little insight into this amazing piece of New Zealand.
The film starts at the top of the saddle where it opens up into farm land. The twisting narrow mainly single lane gravel road descends down to the French Pass village. On the left you will see the current basin waterway that feeds the famous French Pass shipping channel. This transit is well known for its strong current up to 8 knots and huge whirl pools.
Also to the left you will see Durville Island, it was named after the French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville. With an area of approximately 58 square miles (150 km2), it is the eighth-largest island of New Zealand, and has around 52 permanent residents.
On the right you will see glimpses of the Marlborough Sounds with many islands and fiords it is well worth a trip to see, and the fishing is excellent
There were no animals harmed in the making of this film but the silly little lamb that gate crashed the filming around minute 17 did have a funny look on its face where he suddenly stopped.
Karioitahi Beach walk
Karioitahi Beach is a black sand beach located in Franklin District, near Auckland on the west coast of New Zealand.
It's a huge stretch of beach and you are allowed to drive your vehicle there too, you just need to apply for a permit first. You also need to take great care as there are many wrecks reminding you that the tide will take your car if you get stuck.
Other popular activities is horse riding and paragliding, the southern end of the beach and cliff, known as Maioro, is commonly used by local paragliding schools to train beginner pilots.
As many other West coast beaches, this one has a raw beauty, strong wind and rugged cliffs with a few small waterfalls.
