Kaikoura New Zealand 🇳🇿is BREATHTAKING! Sublime Beauty & Unrivaled Sunsets | 197 Countries, 3 Kids

- Join us as we explore Kaikoura - a small town on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, blessed with some of the most breathtaking views and outstanding sunsets on Earth.
Nestled almost halfway between the ferry terminal in Picton and the city of Christchurch, Kaikoura makes a perfect day trip if you are up for an exciting whale watching or nibbling at some tasty crayfish on the beach overlooking a beautiful sunset.
A bright sunny day inspired us to take a trip down to Kaikoura and we immediately noticed all the construction work that was going on. New Zealand is one of the shakiest places in the world, and unfortunately, a recent earthquake literally raised the seafloor, leaving behind coastal highways and train tracks completely destroyed.
It didn’t take long before we noticed the local wildlife. We decided to stop at Ohau Point Look Out and had our first encounter with hundreds of seals and sea lions!
A short drive to downtown Kaikoura showed us some of the local businesses, including the many cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or a tasty meal by the ocean.
Next, we stopped at an absolutely stunning picnic area where with the sound of the waves, we enjoyed a healthy lunch prepared by Chloe.
With some food in our bellies and energy levels restored, we continued our trip to the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway. We decided to take a hike to the end of the walkway to watch the Sun setting over the mountains. And we have to say, this place really left us in awe, as we witnessed scenery we couldn’t get enough of. It’s a viewpoint like no other.
Our last stop was a whale-watching spot where it seemed like the sky and the ocean came together. It’s also a popular place for surfers and all the nature lovers out there as it offers endless beautiful panoramic vistas and incredible nature.
With so much beauty in sight, Kaikoura is a must-see destination in Nee Zealand.

You are giving your children the BEST childhood ever!
It's pretty cool! I think they'll realise that too...or maybe they already do.
Hello New Zealand, greetings from southern Germany, Reutlingen. Happy Easter to you all.
Happy Easter to you as well! 💕
As a lifelong photographer, that view along the shoreline, with the row of trees and the mist in the background (when you were at the picnic table) would have been an amazing photograph. Stuck in a house in the U.S. during a pandemic and looking at that scene was frustrating. Enjoy New Zealand and hopefully things will progress to the point that you can return to globe-hopping.
I know...the views there are just STUNNING! Don't loose faith...it will eventually get better again but it just might take longer than we all think. We way underestimated how long it would last.
Hi from Taumarunui. Nice to see you are all still enjoying our little corner of the world.
Always give the "stop and go man" a wave, I think they appreciate it.
Yeah I think they do too. We waive at all of them now.
OH!!!! This just brought me back to when I was in the 6th grade. I remember clearly, I do remember this incident fairly frequently, that I when up to Mrs. Jackson and explained to her that I wished I had at least one sister. Watching you girls just being yourselves, having fun, and acting 'crazy' along the highway jumping and waving at the oncoming motorists. What could be better!!! And, for me, this is just mostly normal for you. These personalities will be world leaders one day. That's special!!! Keep it up Chloe, Angelique, and Julia. And Mom and Dad, thanks for encouraging these young ladies, and for being great parents.
Thanks for all your encouragement! Really appreciate it!
Hey guys, hi from Hamilton Ontario, love your videos
We have been to NZ 4 times, we were there for the March 26 lockdown. We had already spent 2 fabulous months with the most perfect
Weather we had ever experienced in NZ when we heard of the pending lockdown. We were in Twizel when we found out, so we made a bee line
to Christchurch. We had3 flights cancelled before we finally managed to get one to Vancouver. In total we lost another month in NZ, 2 weeks
in Tasmania and a week in Rarotonga. Obviously we love New Zealand and maybe we will return for a fifth time.
Julie said it, it’s my favourite country. Stay safe, take care
Wow you guys were here when we first arrived. We came into Christchurch just before their lockdown but we decided to stay and we're so happy we did. We've discovered so much of NZ. I'm sure you'll make it back again once borders open up. Their winters here are so mild...nothing compared to our winters back home in Canada.
What an awesome trip and experiencing it with three lovely daughters would be amazing’ awesome
I'm from Kaikoura born and bred - it was so lovely to watch your day trip to my home town. Thank you for your beautiful attitude towards this country - so glad you have had this last year to catch your breath from all your globetrotting - New Zealand is all the more richer to have you all here on its shores. All the best with your next adventure, from Diamond Harbour, NZ.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! We're certainly so happy to be able to be here this long and enjoy an extended stay in your amazing country. Kaikoura is amongst the top places for these amazing views and sunsets. We were blown away by it.
Hi :)
Wow guys I do love my lakes and rivers but there's definitely something about driving next to, sailing and swimming in the ocean and living here in New Zealand there's plenty of ocean to go around gr8 editing guys😎❤️🇳🇿
Yeah it’s always a tossup lakes or oceans?? I think oceans are amazing to look at and if you want to go surfing etc...but I much prefer the lakes. That’s the beauty of NZ, you can have both within such a short distance.
Cool :)
I can't help it, I've said so much, but there's so much to say. I hope you don't mind. (And for those of you reading along, take what I say to heart, too.) Julia and Angelique, you can't help knowing what a 'show girl' your little sister is (no family secret, right). Who knows what/who she'll grow up to be (but we'll all be so proud of her) right? It would be so easy to put her down or become impatient with her (and maybe you do sometimes off-camera) but what I see is that you are willing to love her and accept her just as she is. That is so amazing and wonderful, that said by an old dad of six kids who are also amazing, supportive of each other, but your relationships stand out.
Hi Patton fams 🙋🏽♀️Happy Easter to you 🐇🍫 Chloe I agree 'Whittakers Chocolate' the best in the world 👌🏽 and Julia "thank you" your favourite country in the world aww you made my heart ❤️melt, they've done alot of fixing and it's looking great, thank you Patton fams you've done it again, absolutely breathtaking.
My favorite country too . Loved my times in Kaikoura...Thanks guys once again ,for bring my country to me. Kiwi form Virginia
I'm so glad we can bring you your beautiful New Zealand. You know and have been to all the places we've visited.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I love the way the girls have such happy fun times, Congratulations on three wonderful girls.
Another great video, looks beautiful And those seals were amazing! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! 😀
Thanks and you’re most welcome! We love sharing these videos with everyone.
Watching you film the sea lion reminded me of the time I was walking around the coastline in Wellington and I was about to step down onto some rocks when the”rock” reared up and roared at me! I’ve never run so fast in my life!
That's hilarious. 😂😂Would have been funny to see. I can't believe we didn't know the difference between a sea lion and a seal. If we did, there's no way we would have gotten so close to it.
Hi
Beautiful. thanks pattons.
It is really Paradise
Yea definitely 😍
i cant imagine the cool things you guys have seen! i just did that drive from picton to chch, keep forgetting how beautiful nz is
On a clear day it’s spectacular!
Thank you for sharing our beautiful Kaikoura area.
Have lived here for years and never tire of the beauty that surrounds us. So lovely to see you as a family enjoying NZ.💕
I’m sure that view never grows old since it changes every single day. You’re so blessed to live in such a gorgeous country.
Love the dancing !!
Gorgeous scenery gorgeous❤
I know...this is truly a beautiful area of NZ to get these views with the sunset on the mountain range with it's snowcapped mountains.
Greetings from Blenheim NZ,Don't you just love the smell of those seals ? Glad you like my home town !
This was a first for us as we have never seen seals or sea lions in the wild. Simply amazing!!
You are having the best life ever.. Im so happy for you all.. As always
Yes!!! We're really enjoying it here. It's beautiful and the people are so friendly.
Kia Ora to you all and Kaikoura, beautiful place ... love the scenery 👌and the Koura ( Crayfish ).😋
Kia Ora and thank you! 😃
Great Video, i enjoy watching your journey through our Country...just a note: Kaikoura is the Maori Word for the area and means Kai (Food) & Koura (Crayfish) Enjoy making memories with your Family..
Thanks! I did see this in someone’s comment. All the reason we should have tried some. Next time. Love your area!
Thank you for your videos, am in MIQ (managed isolation quarantine) in Auckland, where the daily highlight is the 80 metre walk in a walled forecourt. Staff are brilliant, interaction is minimised for their's and NZ's protection. Your videos show what's available once free, there's probably a number of people in a similar situation that find your videos a great form of escapism. BTW kids are charming, assume Dad is holding the camera, maybe he could do a cameo :)
So nice to have you here on our channel. You’re probably so happy to come to NZ and soon going to experience freedom from COVID again. We have so many great NZ videos coming up to share with the world. They’re doing such a great job at the MIQ and keeping us all safe. I feel proud even though I’m not from here. Thanks for your comment!
Stay safe Love your videos, Saludos from SouthTexas
Thanks! Have a super day :-)
Little did I know, but I did realize something, how much I was missing out on not having even one sister. Also, I'd have liked to see my mother interacting with her daughter. How special would that have been! Ladies, I hope you know how special each of you are, just the way you are right now.
Thanks David! 🙌💕
Hi from Stratford, Taranaki, that earthquake was a big one about 8 on the Richter scale l, itshook most of New Zealand.
Hi! We had a lovely time in Stratford and will be sharing a video on our time there in the upcoming weeks.
Greetings from Otago New Zealand. happy that you are enjoying NZ. Quite surreal to see places know and road I've driven.
Hello! We were just in Otago. We went all the way down to Stewart Island and we saw a Kiwi. We filmed all the different areas while we were down there too. That's one of my favourite drives.
You're right about Whittaker's chocolate - it's the best! I love Almond Gold, yummm. Some fabulous shots from the drone btw
I know... it’s part of our daily diets. 😂😂😋
Morning from NZ (top of the South Island) Hope you all enjoy your journey in our part of the world. )I(
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for you so beautiful world
Beautiful up there. Whittaker's may not be the best chocolate in the world but haven't found anything better that's not uber expensive.
You're right. It's super affordable for the size of bars you get. It's pretty darn good.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders we also eat Lindt.
Whittakers also gets high marks in assessments of sustainability and ethical production.
@@urizen7613 they do. NZ most trusted brand
I love this people's I just want to join them if impossible please!!! From Namibia
Thanks so much! When we come back to Namibia we will have to meet up and you can show us some of the hidden gems of your beautiful country.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders ok thanks
🍁💐🍁
🙌👍
Excelente dia família 🌻🇧🇷
Wonderful day for you family
Thanks José and to you as well.
Greetings family you already missed it, after a week withou seeing you 🙇♂️
Went out on a whalewatching trip Kaikoura for my 50th. Amazing experience, saw several whales!!!
Wow!!! That's amazing!
Great and nice video as always. I wonder how much time you guys spend behind this quality content. Well, what's going on in New Zealand ??? Is it good??
Well, in India, the second wave of COVID is storming. We are witnessing 93000 cases per day. My online classes will also begin from next week. I just don't like this world😢 It's been so long of this pandemic. I can't even meet my friends because of the COVID. Well, all I can say that Stay Safe ❤ and have a nice day 😊
A video like this takes us a good 6 hours. Life in New Zealand is Covid free. They have strict measures in place and people follow so there's no resistance to obeying the rules which makes it easy to get covid eliminated. Stay strong for what you're going through...This whole Covid is going to take a while before life goes back to normal again. Think of all the people who lived through wars and what they endured for many year before they had their lives back. I think unfortunately it's the same with this pandemic so do whatever you can to stay strong and encouraged. 💕
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thank you so much for this encouraging words. People in India are so careless about this whole situation. They are thinking that COVID is gone. I do agree that many people in this world is struggling like me in this COVID situation.Many people are suffering from depression and loneliness. Well, this is the time we must stay strong and fight all the battles. As a student, I am also bored of this lockdown. But it's not in my hand. I just watch youtube and cricket videos to stay happy in my spare time. Well, Stay Safe ❤
Great video, I just watched another and you say you want to visit the Cook Islands, fingers crossed it opens up soon!
Also you said Georgia would be a great place, NZ and Georgia have some similarities, rugby and Feijoas.
Yes!!! Georgia has Feijoas?
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders yes, just trivia I happen to know, here's a link. east-fruit.com/en/news/feijoa-may-become-one-of-georgias-most-lucrative-export-crops/
hi from Christchurch
Hi from Wellington!
A bit late to this, but what's your honest, lasting impression of NZ? Also, it's so cool you've seen most of the country! I've been to most cities/places but I'm intending to have a holiday in the south as I haven't seen as much being a North Islander (Have bounced between Hawkes Bay and Wellington).
I missed you!
We'll do another premier for our next video so you can catch us then.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders ok thnks
Hello from turkey🤗
We love Turkey and hope to return again soon.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders 🇹🇷❤🇨🇦
You can apply to residency here.
Hi from so far Curitiba
Hi! We love Brazil and hope you are keeping safe.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders welcome in CURITIBA
How many more countries do you have on your list. It's near time when teenagers start finding friends for life. Will you go back to US or would you like to stay here. Of course you would have to carry on the vlogs. Thanks, take care.
There are 97 more to go. Right now with the world the way it is, we'd love to stay in NZ as long as we can but we'll have to see how things go. They're already making some nice friends here too!
"It's a whole scenic route."
State Highway 1...
💯!!!
10 people like this video and it hasn't even started!
Yay!! 👍🤩
That's a quite normal thing to do because you're never be disappointed by real quality youtubers such as these wonderful 4 girls, and not to forget their ghost camera man!
Will you be coming to Dunedin
We were just there and it was amazing! We saw the Royal Albatross and the little penguins and so much more. I’ll be sharing Instagram stories this week about our time there to give you a sneak preview of what’s to come on our channel.
I wish I could visit New Zealand..
Texas is getting boring..
Oh I bet. You guys in lock down right now?
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders yeah. Not as bad as last year, though
NZ is just starting to allow tourists again, but only from Australia at this stage.
Is New zealand in your top 20 countries?
Definitely! 💯

Pity you missed the whale watching, fish & chips, and eating crayfish on the side of the road at Kaikoura. The literal meaning of Kaikoura is “to eat crayfish”.
I guess this gives us a really good reason to go back again. We'll be in Blenheim again soon so it's not too far and the drive is the most spectacular.
Hi girl pretty 💐
