- Part two of our New Zealand experience in November/December 2022 as we make our way from the southern tip of the South Island all the way to Auckland at the northern end of the North Island.
Thanks to @DanegerAndStacey for the many suggestions!

So much more you haven't seen,hopefully you will get that chance,stay well folks.
South Island is the perfect place for a road trip! Stunning scenery, amazing wildlife and usually the roads are quiet. Great video 😊
Beautiful💚 thank you for sharing💚
Queenstown and the south island of nz is the most beautiful place ive ever been, hope you guys loved it!
We definitely did! As you said, the entire island is amazing!
Can't wait to see the next one! :)
W❤️W! Absolutely Stunning! Cheers for more awesome and incredible adventures!🥂❤️✨
Nice video. It's interesting you say "pumping gas" is done on an honour system in NZ and Australia. We always just fill up at the petrol station and then go inside to pay afterwards, unless it is one of those unmanned ones like NPD.
Ps - in NZ and Australia, "gas" refers to LPG which we use for BBQs. The petrol stations sell both petrol and LPG, but if you ask for gas, they'll point you to the LPG gas cylinders.
It's funny how many different names there are for fuel! We're accustomed to 'gas' but have definitely heard the other terms in our travels. We pointed out the honor system just as an interesting difference from the U.S., where it's always pay first, then fill up. Thank you for watching!!
A South Island road trip is about as good as it gets, but they could do with some better roads🙂
Awesome video! May I know which month was this footage taken? :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! This footage was filmed from late November through early December 2022.
Excellent drone footage!!!! Did you have any issues with that. Heard u need to jump through some hoops to fly or you can just take a chance. I am on the fence whether to bring it or not.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! Using drones throughout the country is very delicate but we would definitely recommend bringing it.
You'll want to review the local council websites as much as possible to determine if they're allowed and if so, whether or not a permit is required. Usually it just involves a quick application and an acknowledgement from their end that it's ok. The easiest places to get clearance are on beaches and over the ocean water, as you could probably tell from our video. You can get permission from the Department of Conservation for protected land and from private land owners with their consent but that obviously requires time, communication and documentation. We didn't want to ruffle any feathers as foreign tourists so we were as diligent as possible to ensure there were no issues. Also, be sure to use the AirShare app for logging flights and checking for nearby aircraft. We believe it is required by their Civil Aviation Authority.
Also, make sure all of your drone equipment is in your carry-on baggage and that the batteries are easily accessible for their airport security staff, as it will definitely be inspected once x-rayed.
@@allymarc586 Thanks for the detailed response! Much appreciated and very helpful! It's a lot of work but worth it from your footage
Holy Molly is the principal director and is having a whale of a time.
