I just feel the need over and over again month and year after year to say Thank You for taking me places I will never be able to see in this Life time. I am living vicariously through you both. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for this beautiful experience. Safe travels Peace.
It is heartwarming to read this post. I am happy to know you get such a great benefit from the fortunes of this selfless couple. Some do not realize how showing others a part of your travelling life can benefit others. Not all people can travel. What l like is they show it as it is, not some glamorous five star resort.
I wonder do Nikki & Jason understand just how important their videos are to us mere mortals, I want to add my thanks to Karens and add Good Luck wishes with it!
As a long time follower I have to say- it never gets old. You guys are so good at your craft. Your photography and story telling always astounds me. Regardless of the vehicle used to get you there, you never fail to share a genuine glimpse into your surroundings. Thank you.
“The dappled light of the lush rain forest and then sinks to the darkly shadows of the skeletal glaciers”…. Awesome. Forgive me if I’ve misquoted. Great episode. So glad you both brought us along. See you both next week. Be safe.
Seeing payphones is definitely nostalgic. Living in the NYC suburbs, I've been on countless NYC trips, and payphones used to be a fixture of the city. They removed the last one in the entire city in Times Square back in May. Now replaced with a free WiFi kiosk system called LinkNYC Fun fact, those alps are home to the world's only alpine parrot, the kea. They're in the genus Nestor, and a part of the New Zealand endemic parrot superfamily Strigopoidea alongside the kākāpō (a bird famous for thinking a nature photographer was a female that it tried to mate with it). The kea is known as the world's smartest bird because of their curiosity, though the locals call them the Clown of the Alps because of how cheeky they are.
I am a Kiwi on holiday in New York watching you travel NZ. You capture the feel and beauty of NZ so well it makes me want to retrace your footsteps. Thanks for such amazing and inspiring videos.
So regarding that Cardrona fence, 200 of those were removed in early 2006 by other locals who felt the attraction was an eyesore. The local council actually ruled in their favor and ordered it to be removed (which led to even more of them removed). In response to this, a festival in nearby Wanaka that year tried to do the world record of the longest bra chain. They reached 7.4K bras, which was over 71K short of the world record which was held then by a Singaporean group with 79,001 bras (who raised for breast cancer awareness) since 2002. It has since been broken twice by an Aussie group in 2009 with 166,625 bras and Athena's Cup (another breast cancer awareness group) in Rhode Island with 196,564 bras in 2019. The NZ group trying to break the record is also doing it to raise for breast cancer awareness.
Traveling with the 2 of you is a joy. I admire your zest for life and your skills as producer/videographer/editor of these vids. And as an aside, I’m almost 70 years old and I truly regret never having met a woman like Nikki. You guys are great.
That was a beautiful night sky you captured. Light pollution has really spoiled many areas. Back in the '80s I was on a small cruise ship in the Pacific approaching Figi. I asked if all the ships lights could be turned off. We got all turned off but the small navigation lights for 30 minutes. What an experience to see such a sky. I was up on deck 30 minutes ahead of time with my eyes closed to get acclimated to the dark. Thank you for such nice videos.
I love this tour of the South Island!! I did a 3 week driving tour of the North Island years ago and have been aching to do the south. I remember being so blown away by the Milky Way as well. Absolutely stunning country with lovely people! I’m trying to talk my partner into boat life once we are done with van life but if he’s not willing to take on that adventure, he has agreed to expat to NZ, which is my favorite place on the planet so far. Really excited about your new boat and can’t wait to see it. I’ve been binging HH vids and am in love with their boats!
You have a way of capturing the awesomeness of big waves crashing on beaches to the stillness of a rain forest and the wonderful sounds of the birds in the morning. Beautiful!
Wow wow wow. I almost cried watching this. I am an Australian, and hitchiked and worked around NZ 45 years ago for a year. I absolutely loved the South Island. And walked those same paths to the Glaciers. I also walked the Milford and Routeburn tracks. To me, NZ is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth. Anyone who loves nature is well advised to spend a month or more there. I appreciate the effort you put into the cinematography to capture the beauty.
thanks for taking the time to make these videos; I've never been there and likely will never get thee in person but your videos transport me. Thank you! I look forward to them so much every weekend.
So far we have only experienced the Hubbard Glacier in Alaska, so it was really awesome to see these NZ wonders. Sad they may not last long enough for us to ever get there. :/ That green forest, tho. Wow! Icing on the cake with the starry time lapse at the end. Stay safe and much love and support from FL as always!! - Claire
FYI- There are literally an uncounted number of glaciers. They are not disappearing. They have always advanced and retreated. Sea Ice is up massively in the past 20 years as are many glaciers. Don't believe the Carbon Dioxide propaganda-- we had an ICE AGE (EG: WORLD COVERED IN GLACIERS) with CO2 levels 10 times what they are now!
You guy’s are by far the best outdoor, adventure, sailing channel on TH-cam! Your hard work really shows on every video. Brilliant! I hope to catch up with you two one day.
Wonderful vid this week. Isn't our world SO amazing? Admittedly we are living in a time of great flux, and as my scientist daughter sometimes says "it's all fluxed up!" Still each adventure enriches our souls, and while my far wandering days are past me I can still enjoy memories and seeing your adventures to add to my own. Thank you Wynns!
Absolutely beautiful and sublime series of videos from New Zealand. THANK YOU!! In 2005 my husband and I walked right onto the Franz Josef Glacier. Shocking but sadly not surprising to see its retreat.
No smog or any kind of pollution that we can sea/see...A pun for Jason. ..... lol.... Looks like crisp clean environment where I could live like a Queen inside my own brain with no neighbors that think they own the whole 5 acres you own. Long story that no one cares about, but me. The lady doesn't even own the house. It's her sisters house. When people have money they think you should bow @ there feet. Not this lady. I fight for the under dog. I want to thank y'all for your videos/travels. I can't even afford food/my medications half the time. Therefore y'all are my escape from my turmoil of reality. The videos are a blessing & thank you two for that. Watching your videos is a great escape from what's going on here in the USA & the world. So many senseless deaths & corrupt people in the world & people are clueless. So thanks for the escape from reality. Please don't stop. You really are helping people that you don't even know & can't travel themselves. I have a question for you two if you could answer it, it would be greatly appreciated. HAVE YOU EVER SEE UFO's DURNING ALL THESE YEARS OF TRAVELING? Please be truthful to us, your subscribers 🙏. Thank you & please be safe & God bless you two, Chris from Missouri
Mr. Jay I said before your photography serpasses many. But that starry night shot took me back when we brought fatherless kids camping for the first time. Never seeing shooting stars or spending overnight in a state forest. Few Army buddies taking time out to share with city kids that have never seen the milky way. 10 boys 10-12 will never forget and I hope after all these years, I wonder if any went out exploring or took up photography after. We need to get out and enjoy the sky and land before we get to old. thx guys.
Computer went down, technical issues. Late to the Main Event for Sunday - YOU~! Wow! What a raucous Beach like being in a large Cement Mixer! Swimming? No Thanks! As for the critters coming out of the Ocean to the Beach; I would have been very Silent, no chatter, and very quiet with Binoculars. Sitting in that blind on little stools with some lovely repast and special vintage to await the arrival of the Penguins, seals, birds, etc. The Glaciers were awesome, sad as well to see the retreating markers. The air in the Green Cathedral must have been delicious! Such a great Video. Glad you were not 'to Sea', I heard five were lost in a vessel off of N Z this week on Sky News. Thank you for reminding me to Get Outside! Be Safe you two, it is a brutal world. Be blessed. Love the chatter of the Birds, music, and lovely cottage by the Sea. Nice!
Being on that west coast beach gives you a taster of what it would be like to sail the Southern Ocean - makes it even more awe inspiring those sailors that have...
Some years ago, my son shared a national environmental award with an engineer for the roading, cycling, and car parking system for visitors to the two glaciers you featured. In that short time, most of the roading has been washed away even though it was all designed in anticipation of flooding and erosion. The pace of change and glacier collapse has been much greater than anticipated. In our lifetime we have seen retreat, advance, and retreat of those glaciers, but nothing like what is happening now. Thank you for enlightening people around the world to real life experience of what is happening.
We traveled to New Zealand in December 2019 and saw the Franz Joseph Glacier and some of the other of the sights you visited. Thank you for showing the beauty of these spots and for talking about so much of the challenges they face today. Awesome video!
As for natural beauty, the stars and green on green, this episode may be one of the better ones ever. Thanks as always for sharing and taking us along on your life's journey. It continues to be one great scene after another.
The Timelapse of The Stars ✨ … ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT … MAGICAL … I Love The Cottage You are staying in! So Charming! Much ❤️ to the both of you! …and a Very Special 💌 to King Franz Josef and The Protection of his Glacial Sanctuary…. Thank You
That ocean looks exactly like how it is here in northern California during Winter storms. It's one of my favorite times of the year to go for a walk along the beach I just love feeling all that power.. And ours is deadly too every year we lose some tourists who get swept off the cliffs
New Zealand is very beautiful but with Nikki & Jason as the ones showing us, priceless. I've seen every Wynn video, and they have only improved with each video. This one was amazingly sweet. Thank you Wynns for showing us what we could never get to. Be well, be safe.✌🤟🖖
The sound comes across great. You took me back 40 yrs. to southern California when I lived in a beach town when California was still a dream to live in.
I really enjoyed the pacing of this video. You took your time and told lovely little stories. Intercut with all the b-roll. Many thanks for taking us along.
His wonderful to be ab,E to travel this incredible road trip around the South Island of NZ with two genuinely open minded excited explorers. I can almost feel your wonder and appreciation of the beautiful, largely unspoiled, terrain. Such green, the sea power, mountainous grandeur and the sorrow of shrinking glaciers. Joy and loss, what we here in the green Somerset valley I’m fortunate to live in, are feeling in the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth. How far the glaciers have retreated since she was born so many years ago. She too was a country lover, a mountain and hill walker in far off remote places. It’s such a lovely expression of all that is simply real and yet grand in a calm and serene way…. Very comforting at this time of parting from someone we have loved and admired for so long. Nothing last forever we understand, but oh the wonder of nature and love of family and friends. You too have lived through some very challenging times in your lives so understand the ‘size of loss’. Thank you for expressing all of that so beautifully in your own loving way. I appreciate your peaks into NZ paradise very much this morning 😍
I stayed at the School House Hostel in 2001 in Okarito. It was run by YHA back then (Youth Hostel Assoc. -- peeps up to 55 years could stay, I was 39 back then). You have visited a couple of the same places I visited on my South Island journey back then, on my 7-week trip to NZ. So happy for you guys. Lovely fond memories for me as I watch. Thanks for the heartwarming smiles of my travels past.
You two are so blessed with the adventures you have had. I'm blessed that you allow me and countless others to join you. Thanks for the beautiful videography. Hopefully NZ stays so beautiful. Tom
I'm really enjoying you showing me my homeland again through your eyes, It's been over 45 years since I was down there, .. somehow I foresee a road trip of my own in a warmer season. Those Glaciers have really downsized since I last saw them up close and personal. Great scenery, well narrated, thank you , You do our country proud, as our guests, as you share your journey(s). Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿 M.
You are soooooo right that ocean view is mezmerising and beautiful Thanks for the memories again was on the south island for 2 weeks and was given a free trip from milford sound on the west coast around to Chtist Church so amazing Enjoy
Thankyou. Really....thankyou! You showcase each country so beautifully, and I'm especially proud and humbled by the beauty of this country of mine, so sensitively caught in your lens. 🥰
Speak for yourself - I live here 😜 But yeah, they are doing a brilliant job of showcasing our little country. Ironically the lack of crowds Nikki & Jason show is a major drawcard for a lot of people, so they all come here at once and crowd out the place. What to do about that though ...
We took a trip to NZ when we lived in Australia. We took a helicopter ride over the glaciers and I still remember it to this day. LOVE LOVE LOVE New Zealand…..I wish I could move there. The people are fantastic!
Through out time well before the Triassic period glaciers have come and gone. Note it was also 10* warmer during those times our 2* warm up won't last long. Nothing is set in stone especially the weather and earths orbit around the sun.👍👍
Great video! I was in NZ in 2007 and was able to hike the glacier then. Your night shots of the milky way were amazing!! Keep up the great work, Edmonton, Alberta Canada!
You guys are so cute with your excitement over the teeter totter lol sea saw seems more fitting with its location. Stay safe. Can’t wait to see the new boat! 💕💕💕
Anyone who wants to put a video together should watch yours first. Stunning camera work. Magic editing. Great commentary. Super interesting content. You two lead the pack!! Love your work 100%! 💖👍🏻🇳🇿
Traveling via You Tube is fun. You are in southern hemisphere and going into spring, me in Central Oregon Cascade fall. Wildfires are still burning and smoke in the air but nights are cooling off. Fall here is the best time of the year, cool nights (Low 30's F.) mild days (70 & 80's F.). New Zealand is on my wife's bucket list, Scotland and paddle the Great Glen Canoe Trail on mine. Only time will tell where our next international trip occurs. Love the beach. It reminds me of when we lived on the Oregon Coast. The surf was a minimum of 3 feet high and most often 6 to 9 feet. When I was younger I would paddle my sea kayak out and watch for grey whales. Oh the sound, yeas. Our home was several miles inland and at night we could hear the roar of the surf from our bedroom. We will be heading back this week to visit friends and get our ocean fix before the snow falls at our cabin. love your videos keep up the good work.
I've been to that same exact beach, it's truly stunning to see. So sorry you didn't get to see the glacier up close. I was able to walk almost right up to it.
Wow that surf was like a big mixing bowl of a giant.......n the roar was incredible....it's sad to think that the glacier are resending and could vanish ..... Thank you for showing us things l will never get to see or have experienced if not for you both ... ❤️Truely appreciate your filming and time lapse.....and hiking to these places you are both awesome 💕🐨🤠💕
New Zealand is my ultimate final destination. I plan to expatriate from the USA at some point and NZ is my #1 choice. It's hard to move and become a resident there, tho, so I have other locations on my short list...
Not to worry, there is beauty behind the beauty. There is land where there was once sea, and there is sea where there was once land. May we all do our part to respect and care for Nature while allowing her to do what she does best , that is to create new breathtaking beauty for all to enjoy. This was beautiful , thanks for sharing!
I have NEVER seen that many stars. My favorite part of the video, probably because I’m so astounded at seeing that! So very sad about the glaciers. Those beach waves were wow!
I just feel the need over and over again month and year after year to say Thank You for taking me places I will never be able to see in this Life time. I am living vicariously through you both. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for this beautiful experience. Safe travels Peace.

Amen.

*darkest
@@jaygee5693 I honestly couldn’t make that out. But, thanks.
@@BB_Chaptsick I had to replay it.
I like "darkly" used as an adjective though, very poetic.
Seeing payphones is definitely nostalgic. Living in the NYC suburbs, I've been on countless NYC trips, and payphones used to be a fixture of the city. They removed the last one in the entire city in Times Square back in May. Now replaced with a free WiFi kiosk system called LinkNYC
Fun fact, those alps are home to the world's only alpine parrot, the kea. They're in the genus Nestor, and a part of the New Zealand endemic parrot superfamily Strigopoidea alongside the kākāpō (a bird famous for thinking a nature photographer was a female that it tried to mate with it). The kea is known as the world's smartest bird because of their curiosity, though the locals call them the Clown of the Alps because of how cheeky they are.
I am a Kiwi on holiday in New York watching you travel NZ. You capture the feel and beauty of NZ so well it makes me want to retrace your footsteps. Thanks for such amazing and inspiring videos.

Anything that raised breast awareness is OK by me.
Hey I can agree I am all about saving Breasts of course I am a male so that was a given LOL. A to Triple F they all got the perfect start!!!
The stories you tell through the lens of your camera are amazing. Thank you for the adventure safe travels. And thanks for taking me with you.
This whole New Zealand adventure you two are on has been amazing thus far. So very beautiful. Part of me wants it to last forever.
Your music choices compliment your videos beautifully, makes for a great Sunday morning. Cheers from East Lansing Michigan
Traveling with the 2 of you is a joy. I admire your zest for life and your skills as producer/videographer/editor of these vids. And as an aside, I’m almost 70 years old and I truly regret never having met a woman like Nikki. You guys are great.
Now that I’ve caught up with all sailing videos, Sunday’s at 9am (I’m in Boston) have become special viewing to see where y’all are at. Thanks!! ❤️
Hey Boston, used to live there miss the landscapes and food, but not the roads.
LOVE the night sky time-lapses as always Jason
That was a beautiful night sky you captured. Light pollution has really spoiled many areas. Back in the '80s I was on a small cruise ship in the Pacific approaching Figi. I asked if all the ships lights could be turned off. We got all turned off but the small navigation lights for 30 minutes. What an experience to see such a sky. I was up on deck 30 minutes ahead of time with my eyes closed to get acclimated to the dark. Thank you for such nice videos.
Thanks for continuing to share…New Zealand is such incredible terrain.

I almost cried watching this.
I am an Australian, and hitchiked and worked around NZ 45 years ago for a year.

The sacrifices that you make for us lounge lizards. Thanks for enduring and for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful and sublime series of videos from New Zealand. THANK YOU!! In 2005 my husband and I walked right onto the Franz Josef Glacier. Shocking but sadly not surprising to see its retreat.
If you are pausing between sailing adventures, then New Zealand looks a great place to do so!
This was an amazing video! NZ has to be the most beautiful place on earth. Thank you for the experience!!! Love and hugs from sunny Arizona 💖😎💖
As a kiwi, I think we get so used to what we have, that it takes a trip overseas to remind us! Thank you for your kind coments about Home.
No smog or any kind of pollution that we can sea/see...A pun for Jason. ..... lol....
Looks like crisp clean environment where I could live like a Queen inside my own brain with no neighbors that think they own the whole 5 acres you own. Long story that no one cares about, but me.

So thanks for the escape from reality. Please don't stop. You really are helping people that you don't even know & can't travel themselves.
I have a question for you two if you could answer it, it would be greatly appreciated.

New Zealand is so beautiful.
Mr. Jay I said before your photography serpasses many. But that starry night shot took me back when we brought fatherless kids camping for the first time. Never seeing shooting stars or spending overnight in a state forest. Few Army buddies taking time out to share with city kids that have never seen the milky way. 10 boys 10-12 will never forget and I hope after all these years, I wonder if any went out exploring or took up photography after. We need to get out and enjoy the sky and land before we get to old. thx guys.
One of the best forests you've ever shown. Thanks for sharing. 🌳
That is one very intimidating surf, we saw seals including babies swimming effortlessly in a similar surf up the coast on the South Island.
Did I just hear Jason say, "See??!!" 😂😂
Computer went down, technical issues. Late to the Main Event for Sunday - YOU~! Wow! What a raucous Beach like being in a large Cement Mixer! Swimming? No Thanks! As for the critters coming out of the Ocean to the Beach; I would have been very Silent, no chatter, and very quiet with Binoculars. Sitting in that blind on little stools with some lovely repast and special vintage to await the arrival of the Penguins, seals, birds, etc. The Glaciers were awesome, sad as well to see the retreating markers.

The beach video reminds me of the Oregon coast in the winter.
The Timelapse of The Stars ✨ … ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT …
MAGICAL …
I Love The Cottage You are staying in! So Charming! Much ❤️ to the both of you! …and a Very Special 💌 to King Franz Josef and The Protection of his Glacial Sanctuary….
Thank You
Thank you once again, for taking us along :)
That ocean looks exactly like how it is here in northern California during Winter storms. It's one of my favorite times of the year to go for a walk along the beach I just love feeling all that power..
And ours is deadly too every year we lose some tourists who get swept off the cliffs

Great video. Great comments. A tremendous sense of presence as you share your travels. Truly wonderful and appreciated.
Wow! Beautiful video
Those shots of the night sky are to die for..... Thank you, Loni & Al 👏👏📷👀😎❗
Thank you for showcasing our real New Zealand. We have so much more than the bus tours show tourists.
Thanks for some of the most amazing views. Love you two.
Thank you for taking me to New Zealand!
The sound comes across great. You took me back 40 yrs. to southern California when I lived in a beach town when California was still a dream to live in.
I really enjoyed the pacing of this video. You took your time and told lovely little stories. Intercut with all the b-roll. Many thanks for taking us along.
You two are good. Absolutely loved the video. Thank you 😊
Once again.. you guys produce a fabulous account of your tours and blend that well with historical backgrounds.. Stay blessed.
Especially loved the night time time lapses
His wonderful to be ab,E to travel this incredible road trip around the South Island of NZ with two genuinely open minded excited explorers. I can almost feel your wonder and appreciation of the beautiful, largely unspoiled, terrain. Such green, the sea power, mountainous grandeur and the sorrow of shrinking glaciers. Joy and loss, what we here in the green Somerset valley I’m fortunate to live in, are feeling in the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth. How far the glaciers have retreated since she was born so many years ago. She too was a country lover, a mountain and hill walker in far off remote places. It’s such a lovely expression of all that is simply real and yet grand in a calm and serene way…. Very comforting at this time of parting from someone we have loved and admired for so long. Nothing last forever we understand, but oh the wonder of nature and love of family and friends. You too have lived through some very challenging times in your lives so understand the ‘size of loss’. Thank you for expressing all of that so beautifully in your own loving way. I appreciate your peaks into NZ paradise very much this morning 😍
Wow! What an amazing vlog. Thank you for this :)
I stayed at the School House Hostel in 2001 in Okarito. It was run by YHA back then (Youth Hostel Assoc. -- peeps up to 55 years could stay, I was 39 back then). You have visited a couple of the same places I visited on my South Island journey back then, on my 7-week trip to NZ. So happy for you guys. Lovely fond memories for me as I watch. Thanks for the heartwarming smiles of my travels past.
Thank you for taking me to such wild and wonderful places!! Mr. Inman would love it!!
🙆♀️ Great video all the way through. The night sky time lapses were POSITIVELY STUNNING!!!!.
You two are so blessed with the adventures you have had. I'm blessed that you allow me and countless others to join you. Thanks for the beautiful videography. Hopefully NZ stays so beautiful. Tom
One of your best video's yet. Keep showing the stars please .
How can I like this 1000x? Thank you again for taking us around the world.
Many thanks for another fine video. The night skies were wonderful
Beautiful country. Well represented. Nice videography.
I'm really enjoying you showing me my homeland again through your eyes,
It's been over 45 years since I was down there, .. somehow I foresee a road trip of my own in a warmer season. Those Glaciers have really downsized since I last saw them up close and personal. Great scenery, well narrated, thank you , You do our country proud, as our guests, as you share your journey(s). Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿 M.
That forest looked just like a Washington or PNW forest. Gorgeous!
You are soooooo right that ocean view is mezmerising and beautiful Thanks for the memories again was on the south island for 2 weeks and was given a free trip from milford sound on the west coast around to Chtist Church so amazing Enjoy
Thank you! I really love the time-lapse night sky! You two always do a great job showing us land lovers the beauty that is out there!
I also want to thank you for taking us where some of us will never be able to go. Thank you so much. Beautiful area
Thankyou. Really....thankyou! You showcase each country so beautifully, and I'm especially proud and humbled by the beauty of this country of mine, so sensitively caught in your lens. 🥰
What incredible footage!!! Thank you for showing us parts of the world we will never see.
Speak for yourself - I live here 😜
But yeah, they are doing a brilliant job of showcasing our little country. Ironically the lack of crowds Nikki & Jason show is a major drawcard for a lot of people, so they all come here at once and crowd out the place. What to do about that though ...
- 🇨🇦 HOLY MOLY, those night sky shots are breathtaking !!!!!!
This is the best, green on green on green! My favorite.
I saw the aurora!!
We took a trip to NZ when we lived in Australia. We took a helicopter ride over the glaciers and I still remember it to this day. LOVE LOVE LOVE New Zealand…..I wish I could move there. The people are fantastic!
Through out time well before the Triassic period glaciers have come and gone. Note it was also 10* warmer during those times our 2* warm up won't last long. Nothing is set in stone especially the weather and earths orbit around the sun.👍👍
Yes, climate has always fluctuated. Check out the Milankovitch Cycles. The Earth is supposed to be heading into a very cold period. But it isn't.
Beautiful perspective of the world. 💝🙏💝Thank You guys take care and adventure on! Enjoy.
Sad to see the glaciers disappear. Thanks for sharing.
I adore your time-lapsed video! Thank you, Jason. ❤️
You are so welcome!
Great post my friends. You are trailblazing ahead of me and my own Trimaran adventures ✨️. 🌞🌴⛵️
It's nice to see the Glaciers, as they say that they are a dying breed.
Great video! I was in NZ in 2007 and was able to hike the glacier then. Your night shots of the milky way were amazing!! Keep up the great work, Edmonton, Alberta Canada!
Absolute eye candy. This entire episode. I am satiated. Thank you.
You guys are so cute with your excitement over the teeter totter lol sea saw seems more fitting with its location. Stay safe. Can’t wait to see the new boat! 💕💕💕
In New Zealand the teeter totter is called a see saw.
Anyone who wants to put a video together should watch yours first. Stunning camera work. Magic editing. Great commentary. Super interesting content. You two lead the pack!! Love your work 100%! 💖👍🏻🇳🇿
Very lucky to get such a clear night for a spectacular view. Well done.
Those stars were amazing. Love this trip.
Loved this video! Especially the Milky Way time lapse. Stunning. Well done you two.
You two are truly amazing! Please keep it up, because we all need the enthusiasm. \'-)
Fabulous. So interesting. The plants look like tropical ones.
Traveling via You Tube is fun. You are in southern hemisphere and going into spring, me in Central Oregon Cascade fall. Wildfires are still burning and smoke in the air but nights are cooling off. Fall here is the best time of the year, cool nights (Low 30's F.) mild days (70 & 80's F.). New Zealand is on my wife's bucket list, Scotland and paddle the Great Glen Canoe Trail on mine. Only time will tell where our next international trip occurs. Love the beach. It reminds me of when we lived on the Oregon Coast. The surf was a minimum of 3 feet high and most often 6 to 9 feet. When I was younger I would paddle my sea kayak out and watch for grey whales. Oh the sound, yeas. Our home was several miles inland and at night we could hear the roar of the surf from our bedroom. We will be heading back this week to visit friends and get our ocean fix before the snow falls at our cabin. love your videos keep up the good work.
I've been to that same exact beach, it's truly stunning to see. So sorry you didn't get to see the glacier up close. I was able to walk almost right up to it.
Wow that surf was like a big mixing bowl of a giant.......n the roar was incredible....it's sad to think that the glacier are resending and could vanish ..... Thank you for showing us things l will never get to see or have experienced if not for you both ... ❤️Truely appreciate your filming and time lapse.....and hiking to these places you are both awesome 💕🐨🤠💕
For the life of me - I don't see - how you could ever leave such a beautiful place.
New Zealand is my ultimate final destination. I plan to expatriate from the USA at some point and NZ is my #1 choice. It's hard to move and become a resident there, tho, so I have other locations on my short list...
I'd sit there all day watching the 🌊waves🌊🌊🌊
Not to worry, there is beauty behind the beauty. There is land where there was once sea, and there is sea where there was once land. May we all do our part to respect and care for Nature while allowing her to do what she does best , that is to create new breathtaking beauty for all to enjoy. This was beautiful , thanks for sharing!
I have NEVER seen that many stars. My favorite part of the video, probably because I’m so astounded at seeing that! So very sad about the glaciers. Those beach waves were wow!
those rainforests are amazing, sad those glaciers are going. It’s good to see others enjoying the natural world
