The stars at night are unbelievable up there on a clear night. Lying on the jetty and experiencing awesomeness, in the true sense of the word, is an unforgettable experience.
Oh totally, very beautiful place for stars, and silence... would recommend this area to anyone loads of options for hiking to go further and into different valleys. Might be a few to many sand flies late January for the jetty at night though lol...
Friggin awesome 👌 👏 👍
Thanks mate, was such an epic overnighter Kids loved it.
1:22 baaahahahahahaha that Riley girl is a classic, future stand up comic, I replayed 20 times till I couldn't breathe any more
Riley is very funny, she's always making us laugh that girl.
Yes, gotta love those videos, Mike thanks. 50% of Canadians love noodles as well.
What only 50% of Canadians like noodles mate it should be atleadt 86% of ya'll... hope Mexico 🇲🇽 is going well
Another awesome adventure guys looking forward to your next adventure clip. Happy travels.
Thank you... next one is a stunner a look at 1 year in the south island
Hey Guys , I was at Cold Water Hut when you arrived , waiting for the water taxi back to St Arnauld after a few days camping up Travers Valley. The kids seemed a very enthusiastic bunch and obviously having a great time. Good on you for giving them the chance to enjoy the outdoors NZ has to offer. Regards SteveG
oh thats so cool. Hope you enjoyed our little adventure, we sure loved the area, what a beautiful spot.
Wow man, you must be one of the last sane men alive. All the best for you and your family.
ha ha.. I think many people who watch think I am insane doing this lol... Just giving our family a good life a mate lots of hard works gone on behind the scenes to get to this point.
Your kids are having the BEST education in New Zealand, my kids did similar, a long time ago now, they in their 30s and are doing well!
Yea mate it's so good for them... it's so noticeable how much devices influence young ppl these days. Our kids are so content playing outside
Absolutely love the Nelson Lakes area, so good having the place almost to yourselves. Those kids are keen as with the mountain water fall swimming. I bet you enjoyed the slower pace scenic walk around the lake as a family after having run it
cheers Garth, I def enjoyed running it lol, I like keeping the pace up, but nice to do things like this as a family. Jade absolutley loved it so thats perfect. I love that the kids are so into the swimming, true outdoor kiwi kids. Missing the South Island I think it has better weather.......
Thanks for bringing me along on your beautiful family adventure!
Cheers mate, Oh your so welcome, we appreciate you coming. Pretty amazing place to over night hike to. we loved it, looking forward to returning in the winter and seeing it in a way different light/
I remember sailing up the lake and mooring at that jetty. Later we transported some hikers across the lake.
what a cool place to sail... We really like this area, loved it when we returned in June this year.
Beautiful spot and another great video. You guys are awesome! Can’t wait to see where you go to next.
Was such a cool hike, kids loved it, parents loved it, so many beautiful things to see and do, Always miss our bed in the caravan though.
Great to get another video from the Leopardsgowild adventure. We are finishing our two week holiday at Saint Arnaud to catch the Antique and Classic Boat Show on Saturday and Sunday. Lovely spot you were staying at.
Awesome mate, 2 weeks at St Arnaud, you'd know the place like the back of your hand. Some incredible hiking options in the area for multi day walks. Enjoy the boat show.
Another great episode. You make your videos feel like we know you. Looking forward to the next episode
oh thanks for that great feed back mate. We love sharing the videos glad you got the vibes your there with us.
What an amazing experience for your family, you must have seen a lot of the south island
We've seen a lot of the South Island, lots of places still missed though, We'll head down again in the winter and I imagine we'll be pretty keen to get to a bunch of new places we've not yet been to. So much to see and do down there. North Island is also pretty epic.
So cool guys, awesome adventure tramping in the hills then done up to the nines with Art Deco you’ll have well rounded kids well done!
yea travel is our goal so we're never in a spot normally longer than a week. Now we're in Northland, so it's gonna be a big jump in the videos.... Are you guys producing anything with your artdeco footage?
Northland is pretty cool I have filmed a lot of fishing shows up there and lived in Paihia for a while great spots. Normally we edit the Art Deco festival but this year the deco trust are going to do it.
New sub from Canada. Great to see a family traveling.
Whoop whoop, go Canada, love canada, I think the South Island reminds me a lot of Canada. What part are you in... me and Soph spend 11 days in Banff and Jasper way back in 2009...
Love your videos. Wow the water so clear at that lake. I definitely go go to this but sometime.
thank you, yes the water is very clear and clean so nice to swim in and even fill your drink bottle from.
That Riley is hilarious 🤣
she has such a great sense of humor she's a smart kid that one..
Great video. Going to try getting there on our visit to the area next month! Thanks for the inspiration.
enjoy, it's a pretty easy walk, me and a friend jogged the whole circuit in under 4 hours a few weeks earlier.
So pleasant to watch
Cheers mate, this was and is such a great hike for families.
Wow. What a cool birthday. Happy birthday ( for when it was yr birthday). Reminds me of when I was a kid this week. Keep living yr best life guys.
I wonder if you'll stop at Hamilton's gap on yr way up north. 🤔.
Jades getting old are so cool.... 😎.... we have done the ultimate North island bypass we're in Northland... feel free to follow our Facebook page for where we are at
there was a time had to step on a rake or fall of a ladder to get strangers to watch your homevideos but this works to
ha ha, Im guessing that means you enjoyed our video.
The girls are amazing and no rock is safe with Toby in sight 😄
The girls are amazing Toby is a wild child living his best life... so cool adventuring with our kids...
Awesome Adventures the Leopard family, all the learning, the outdoors, the survival food ideas, pity about the pasta, love that you packed noodles good carbs for hiking! Aroha Nui the Leopards❤️
Oh that pasta was so watered down, I don't think we were hungry enough, although the salt helped. Thanks for watching Teresa, glad to have you along on our adventures.
Hope you guys can make it possible to come back to the south island winter luv the vids family.
Yes we'll be back in winter
Absolutely loved the scenery , and the music was appropriate, worth the weight
You look as you all had an enjoyable time.
The scenery is beautiful alright, so peaceful and beautiful 😍 so nice to be mostly on our own out there in the wild
Love what you guys get up to, awesome idea for your birthday Jade, hope you had a great time. Nicely edited once again Mike.
i'm pretty grateful our kids are choosing experiences over possessions, be interesting to see where the future takes them. Hope you guys are doing well.
hey LEOPARDS,, dude those triangle peaks, when u and tobes were starting ur hike,, what r those, just random triangles or did something do that??? HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADE!!!! riley is so great at making clips for the vids & AN UNCLE TOBY ROCK THROW!!!! this vid has it all, great episode as always Leopards!! looking forward to the next 1, cheers!!!!!
Keeping the rock throwing alive since ages ago... Those triangles are the markers so you know your on track... Orange is the course marker, sometimes you may see other colour triangles, but they generally are for animal trapping lines, like possums and ferrets ets.
@@leopardsgowild everyone looks happy!!! 👌 you guys r the best
Hey guys. Been out of touch for a while. I have lots of videos to catch up on! I went to Nelson Lakes with the school tramping club in I think Dec 1976. I have vague memories of staying at Coldwater Hut, or it may have been Lakehead. We were about 8 days tramping in the park. The mounta8ns are as stunning as Inremember them.
Hey Owen, missed your regular comments, assumed you were either busy with work or busy with the boat... How are things going for you over the past few months.
@@leopardsgowild a few changes. Work is ramping up. We started packing fruit last week so I should be neck on nightshift soon. I have decided to work the next two years at MPAC, but couldn't bear the thought of another season trying to sleep in the marina during the day. So I've moved off the boat and gone boarding with my Aunt to help her pay her rent. Much quieter!
good for you mate, glad you got some options which is always nice. back on the night shift, how do you find working over night? Soph is working a few days a week oin night shift these days on line, helpping to cover our costs, she seems to enjoy it mostly.
@@owenpotter2459
@@leopardsgowild I've been working nights in some form or another most of my working life, so no biggie. Are you guys back in Rotorua for a while for Soph to work nights?
@owenpotter2459 no she works from the caravan on line... very helpful for travel life
Save yourself some stress by pre-booking your spot in the hut - follow me for more outdoor lifestyle advice 👍
It's way more fun taking a risk and potentially sleeping under the stars 🌟
You can’t pre book at Coldwater Hut…..
and get eaten by sandflies... no thanks@@leopardsgowild
oh, looks like that hut is first in first served @@leopardsgowild - maybe you could mention that in the video?
You do know you can eat the sandflies back right as soon as they land on you, grab them, squash them it doesn't matter and then you can eat them.. it seems they want to be eaten any way as you'll often find them floating in a drink or on your food... More helpful tips from the Leopards
