Finding South - New Zealand | An Off-Road Journey Through The South Island's Backcountry
We have always wanted to freely tour the beautiful, but harsh South Island of New Zealand, and after plenty of smaller trips it was time to experience a more extended journey.
Our aim was to make no plan, explore the less explored and drift with the weather throughout the Island, all while trying to experience as much as possible off the tar seal.
Join us for this 20-minute film following the highs and lows we encounter on the adventure.
Shot and Edited by Joel McDowell & Andrew Lewthwaite.

Bentayga Meets Tongariro | Bentley Auckland
Переглядів 5715 років тому
During the winter of 2018, Logan and I were sent off to explore Tongariro National Park in a 2019 Bentley Bentayga. We were met by all condition - snow and blizzard on the first day, freezing rain the second and a bluebird on the last. We really tested the capabilities of this stunning work of art and had a lot of fun doing so. auckland.bentleymotors.com/nz/en/home

Pieced together a few clips from our trip to the beautiful Tongariro. We went straight from work at 3am with the goal of spending the day exploring this beautiful area before the flood of people head to the ski fields. These stunning and peaceful views made the lack of sleep and energy completely worth it.

Over my weekend we traveled out in search of some places that few people knew about. On the way, we found some pretty amazing spots that would be easy to use pass by without looking.

    Great stuff. To answer your final question. A more detailed look. You did a brief scan. I suggest you dig deeper on each route, check those graves stones and see the stories of those before us. Why does this road exist, how was it made, when, who kept it going, which town did it go to, why is no one there now. The real stories are fascinating

    Would love a map or list of directions and instructions for getting permissions etc for your trip. (Had a look on insta but didn't find your map posting). Great vid, btw, I'm a D2 owner as well and looking to get out with the family and explore of our back country.

    A bit late to the party but congratulations on the engagement, I'll be 33 years in May and you bought a tear to my eye with your proposal. Finding the right person and living your best life together is unfathomabley good. It seems like you have a most excellent start

    I love how a mild gravel road seems a challenge to you guys. What I see as another day, is an adventure and the story you tell .. showing that adventure is bloody brilliant. I would hire you on the spot to tell our story if I could afford you. I'm glad you had a wicked time down south, its a beautiful place, one i probably take for granted. You are welcome back anytime and hell, even hit me up. More than happy to show you the rougher side. Although i don't think it will tell the romantic side of the south your story told but... I know a few spots. lets see what i can come up with.

    Hello. I'd just like to say that there's not a lot of times in my life when I have stopped to glance at the awe that is New Zealand. You have done this so much justice and I honestly think you have managed to capture a small essence of the not only the culture aka your group, but the very reason why we are the most amazing country. Amazing work I'm super impressed
