10 Essential Tips and Things To Know Before Visiting NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is a country filled with beauty, amazing sights, great people and plenty of things to do. We grew up in NZ and are proud to call this place home.

Aotearoa (New Zealand) is a very popular tourist and holiday destination so we want to share our 10 essential tips to know about New Zealand for those planning to visit (eventually when borders open again) or when we have the Trans Tasman Australia and New Zealand bubble.

We've made many videos in and about New Zealand including NZ travel guides like must do activities, but this video is a quick travel tips summary that we hope will help you if you're planning to visit NZ.

New Zealand Holiday Itinerary — Travel Costs, Things To Do & Best Places To Visit

If you're thinking about a New Zealand holiday and want to know some of the top things to do and the best places to visit in New Zealand you're in the right place!... Unlock our full Queenstown guide for over 50 more recommendations and a map view to take on the go: ⬇ Read More Below ⬇

A New Zealand holiday is what dreams are made of! As a couple of proud Kiwis we want you to have the best time here, so this video is a recap of our adventure with an overload of information to help with your New Zealand travel planning!

We tried to make a video that we personally would have wanted to find before we planned our holiday in our motorhome / campervan — so hopefully even if you're from NZ yourself this is still valuable to you.

*Our full Queenstown guide will make sure you:*
→ Save weeks of your life aimlessly researching
→ Have 10x more recommendations than what we mentioned in this video guide
→ Get instant access to years of local knowledge
→ Know the best things to do, where to eat & drink and the best places to stay
→ Have a digital map of all locations (including opening hours)
→ Travel with a mobile guide and app you can open on-the-go
→ And ultimately have an amazing and stress-free holiday!
→ Take a look here:

To stay up to date with our New Zealand travel guide we'll be sending out email updates, keep in touch with us here —

Reveal NZ was a 23 part video series in a campervan showing the ultimate New Zealand holiday. Though to be fair, we still had recommendations about some of the top things to do in New Zealand that we missed of the best places to visit that we either a) couldn't get to for what ever reason, b) regret not spending enough time at or c) didn't plan in at all — so you can benefit from that! More than just taking a motorhome around New Zealand, the videos were about how to travel New Zealand, the top tourist spots, the hidden local gems, incredible day trips, extreme activities, amazing accommodation and a spot of wining and dining... The series is about making you feel like you're along for the travels with us, so grab a drink of your poison, sit back and get ready for 5 weeks driving in a campervan hire from Auckland to The Catlins.

NEW ZEALAND | Cinematic Travel Video

Surprise ! New video - this is pretty much a compilation of some of the best shots we collected whilst travelling for 3 weeks around the South Island of New Zealand when New Zealand's boarders opened up to Australia. I wasn't actually going to finish this video but the footage was too good not to finish it.

Enjoy!

Solo Travel to New Zealand

It's about time for this video to be edited and uploaded (10 months later to be exact). In March 2019, I took a 10-day solo trip around the South Island of New Zealand. The first two videos I edited and uploaded right away (see the video links below), but the rest of the footage collected dust on my hard drive. 2020 is my year, so why not start it off with reflecting on one of my best travel experiences to date..

Solo travel to NEW ZEALAND- once in a lifetime experience

#newzealand #backpacking #solotravel

I went on a solo backpacking trip in 2019 to the south Island of New Zealand. This was my first solo trip. I visited places like Christchurch, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Ben Lomond trail, Te Anau. I filmed all of this on my iPhone and didn't even plan to be making a video out of it. It took me a while to even get it to this point but I was happy to be able to put a story together so that I could share this once in a lifetime experience with you guys!
