- 3 Months of Van Life in New Zealand - Episode 1
We have arrived in New Zealand, the first stop on our travel year! We’re here for the next 3 months and will be traveling to the North and South Islands in a camper van. This video documents our first 2 weeks in the North Island.
After picking up our van, we visit Rangitoto island to climb Auckland’s largest volcano, explore Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel Peninsula, and visit two geothermal parks in Rotorua, before heading to Taupo to see New Zealand’s most popular natural attraction, Huka Falls.

Bloody beautiful ka pai
Well produced video spot on
Great presentation James- I thoroughly enjoyed it - Cheers
Brought back so many memories 😊
Man your videos are very well done! Like the music. Got my headphones on. Waimungu's a rift valley. Didn't know that (I looked it up.)
Lovely video.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Cold water, too cold for some to swim in, is usual through spring on the east coast until around Christmas and warms up more through the summer (although you had a cold-water summer because of all the rain until nearly February). 23/24 should be better. On the west coast the current changes to a warmer south-travelling one seasonally and it's okay after that. The east coast beaches are beautiful but the west coast ones have a wild beauty that is also world class (even 1 hour from Auckland).
Oh they think they're or in part, is still there. Took a submersible down and they recognised features of the original. (Pink and white terraces.
Very nice van ENJOY
Thanks Joyce! 😊
Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Waimangu is where we used to go when I was a kid and the folks.
nice video
What app/website did you guys use for finding campsites? And which phone provider?
We used CamperMate for finding campsites and a Spark e-sim card.
@@JamesBTravel thanks james!
What time of year were you here?
Hi Cindy, we were there from mid-October to January
❤😂😂😂😂😂❤
Can someone enlighten me, if they need to piss or take shit ,where they do??
Campsites have toilets
Plenty of public toilets. Also YMCAs and public swimming pools, which many towns, have will let you have a shower for around $NZ4.
Use a saucepan and fling it out the window as you go along of course!
