  • Hey Everyone, this week. We finally make it to the South Island for our first stop off at a DOC camp at Whites Bay about 25km out of Blenheim. It's a windy, narrow and hilly road getting into this location, but man is it a stunning spot to camp.
    Great walks, awesome swimming and lots of muscles out on the edge of the rocks.
    We also did a day hike over to Robinhood bay where I did a bit of deeper sea snorkelling, with a friend Garth Haylock.
    We had some stunning weather, and we really appreciated the fresh fish Floyd and Kim. Hope to see ya'll on the next episode.

    Great video. We will have to explore the area. Marcel sees those logging trucks and reckons he would take Beast there. Hmmmm I might walk.

    Aaaahhh, my old stomping ground. Grew up in Blenheim and spent many a time at Whites Bay, Robinhood Bay etc. Funnily enough, we also called it "Cave Rock" when we were kids. Always visited Whites Bay when my kids were young on our family trips back to NZ. Still looks great...

    Great video Mike, it was awesome getting over the hill from home to meet you guys and hang out in our big back yard. Today I was back out there, doing a crayfish dive over the far side of Port Underwood, near where that power cable heads across to the North Island.

    Had to sympathise with those truck drivers, not a good road for those trucks. Ive never seen plankton like that before, so cool!!

    AGAIN ! Beautiful places-- you all are truly blessed. Is the logging "sustainable " ?

    Agree, great DOC campsite. How was it driving up that hill with such a big caravan? We hope to do the same as you by year's end, so watching to see how you all get on. Hopefully, the weather is kind to you down south.

    That looks amazing there, putting that on our to-visit list for later in the year. We've driven that road a couple of times, I couldn't imagine towing a big caravan along it. Nice to see Sophie and the kids doing some vlogging. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful drone shots throughout and loving the music choices! We didn't realize how mountainous the North side of the South island was. Can't wait to see what Adventure you guys take us on next! Safe Travels.

    Is this what Plankton looks like? For some reason I was thinking they were little fish.
