We're checking out some accommodation at the camping ground, the seal colony and of course crayfish tasting in Kaikoura is a... ✪ Take a look at campervan options for your trip here - www.motorhomerepublic.com
Welcome to Kaikoura, New Zealand. In Maori Kai translates to food and koura to crayfish, so there's no awards for guessing what we wanted to do crack into. You don't have to search deep around what to do in Kaikoura before crayfish pops up. Also on that list is seeing the incredible seal colony along the main highway!
After checking into our accommodation, the Top 10 camping ground, we woke up early to make our way to Nins Bin for a crayfish breakfast. Nins Bin is a world famous in New Zealand, 40+ year old, third-generation, food truck specialising in all things crayfish - not only that, but the setting is amazing as well!
Just around the coast is Ohau lookout over a seal colony that is just far too easy to reach, it's literally next to the road but home to hundreds of seals including seal pups! Seeing the seals playing around in the waves, acting all cheeky like and cuddling with their parents was so amazing to watch.
Overall Kaikoura is a stunningly beautiful place and would be pretty special in winter, the mountains form the backdrop and with a sprinkle of snow up there it would pretty special!
Kaikoura is also known for it's whale watching, in the next episode we'll take a boat tour in search of finding some new friends diving around out there.

![10 Best SOUTH ISLAND Things To Do! New Zealand Travel Tips [ Ep 01 ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qsR5pKmAId4/mqdefault.jpg)
Went to Kaikora on our NZ trip a few years ago and they'd parked shipping containers at the bottom of hillsides to stop any rock falls after the earthquake as it was still unstable. Good to see the road finished. To say the crayfish was a bit expensive is an understatement.
Oh wow! Kaikōura has been through a lot but it's a buzzing little place now. By New Zealand standards, that's not too bad 😂 This place is expensive!
Often times I watch your vlogs during a break from work, because my work day is often stressful and your vlogs always calm me down and make me happy. 🌄 This is the type of day I daydream about while working.
This is SO cool to hear! We're sending you good vibes and hope your days haven't been too stressful lately :)
Thank you for showcasing my 2nd home soooo well! We own the original homestead in Goose Bay which is 10 minutes south of kaikōura township. Looks like you had amazing weather! The waterfall where the seal pups used to hang out was a very sad loss.. It was so cool to watch them play under the waterfall and so beautiful. The earthquake was a challenging time for us and were heartbroken with the devastation that it caused. Thankfully kaikōura is now coming back to life! The Pier Hotel is such a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view. The coastal road of kaikōura is so unique and beautiful. Glad you enjoyed your stay 😊
That's such a great way to describe it, Kaikōura is coming back to life! It was just buzzing with good vibes while we were there, we loved it.
There is something about being near the sea,it makes my soul happy.
We agree!
Catching up all your videos filmed in 2021 x love this trip and the seals were so sweet . Nice that Kiakora is back to normal after the earthquake .
Glad you're catching up! Aren't the seals the cutest 😍 Love them! Yeah it's great to see how well Kaikoura is doing now.
At 10.21 you can see behind you the tunnels that allow the seals to still go upto the waterfall. It is all sealed off (haha) to the public, but back in the day when humans were allowed up there it was truly an amazing site. The Waterfall pond was absolutely full of baby seals everywhere. So when you were saying "I don't know where the waterfall is", it was right behind you as you said that! haha
SEALED off 😂That sounds like a dream, such a shame we couldn't see it before the quake!
Nin’s Bin was the reason I wanted to go to Kaikoura. I’d seen a story on a travel show when planning our holiday and couldn’t wait to go there. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. The crabs are so fresh and tasty. We discovered Kaikoura is such a beautiful little town too.
That's awesome to hear! We thought it was deeeeeelicious too
You two need an award for "Most Enjoyable Watch!" Apart from being truly amazing guides for us, your camera and editing skills are top notch! Keep it up!👍🏻💕
Stoopppp it!! You are so kind, thank you. We really appreciate the good vibes :)
Stacey's excitement about those seal pups is so pure haha. I'm exactly the same, there's something so special about seeing animals in the wild x
There's cuteness overload. Wildlife is amazing ❤️
I can't explain it, it just gives me the biggest happy bubble 😊
Went whale watching in Kaikoura in 2016 (before the earthquake, thankfully). Was one of my favorite places in New Zealand.
We can see why it would be one of your fave places 😍 it's amazing isnt it!
Sorry I'm late to the video, just wanna say I love the content! I'm from Singapore and New Zealand is absolutely my favourite place to visit. Y'all are just too nice! And it's a beautiful country too.
Better late than never 😊 We just appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment, thank you!
Just what I needed. Always watch you 2 when Im down or not feeling well as your energy is so uplifting. When Im real down I watch your engagement video, always sure to cheer me up. (Im ok just got my second vaccine yesterday and feel like I was hit by a small truck,)
That is SO cute! Happy to hear our videos can bring a little light into your day! Hope you're feeling better 😊
@@DanegerAndStacey Much thank you. It only lasted a day.
The baby seal pool and waterfall was something very special. Such a pity it was destroyed by the earthquake.
Such a shame, it sounded magical!
I have to say, that I am enjoying these New Zealand videos so much, and also that the two of you, travelling within your own home country, have become so relaxed and I think we are getting to see more of the 'real you'! Fantastic!
That's really nice to hear. We do feel really relaxed being at home, it definitely takes the usual stress out of travelling!
Crayfish and Guiness? sounds perfect me, though the seals were pretty cool too! Some next level camerawork and editing as always :)
Not a bad combo right? Thanks Rex, appreciate that!
Yay! Another new place to add to the list of must go's (and must eats)
You won't regret it!
I am in San Francisco this weekend but found time to catch another exciting episode of your fantastic tour of the South Island with Crayfish and Guinness! I have studied the migration of the elephant seals extensively and I too find the ocean experience exciting!
Nice to hear from a fellow seal lover!!
The positive vibes in this video are a great start to my weekend 😄
Sending you all *positive vibes* from India 🇮🇳.
So happy to hear that, we love bringing the good vibes!
I used to deliver camper vans between Auckland and Christchurch,realy loved that coast
How frequently did you do that? Quite the job in a campervan regularly!
We just love your videos! So much positive energy, so much fresh air in them! Much support from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤗❤
Thank you so much, we appreciate the love 😊
I’m exactly the same Stacey! HONESTLY LOVE WILDLIFE! I was at a cafe outdoors the other day, and this little bird flew into the courtyard and started eating the crumbs people had left behind, and I was just over the moon. He was adorable 😍 also this little place feels like a hidden gem! It’s glorious!
Aww that's the cutest thing I've ever heard! Animals just seem to bring so much joy 😊
Don't think we have heard of a 44 year old food truck. Love the again and again reusable coffee cups!!
It was a food truck before there was food trucks!
It's an oldie but a goodie!
My wife and I actually visited the young seal colony before the earthquake, it was really awesome and they were super friendly.
Ohhh that would've been incredible, wish we made it Kaikoura sooner to see that!
I went whale watching in Kaikoura in 2016 (thankfully, before the earthquake). Loved everything about the town, one of my favorite places in New Zealand.
That sounds amazing, so happy you enjoyed it!
Such a great video and I have been known to do the happy dance on any animal encounter so it was so great to see Stacy so happy!!
Yaass, glad I'm not the only happy dancer haha
Wow!! Kaikoura is so BEAUTIFUL!!
Never expected that place to be awesome.
Thanks Dane & Stacey 🇳🇿💖😎
To be honest, neither did we! We LOVED it though 😊
Always look forward to these videos because they are interesting and fun to watch. The sealpups really show her excitement to them, sort of like a kid at Christmas. I woulda liked some crayfish cuz they look really good. Very enjoyable video though so thanks for the content
So glad you enjoyed this one!
@@DanegerAndStacey I always will support you with the great content
I haven't been to Kaikoura since 2014, it's amazing to see all the rocks uplifted. I've been up to the pool at Ohau Point and seen all the baby seals playing together. It was an awesome sight.
Aw we're so jealous you got to visit the baby seals, that would've been so special
I'm planning a 2023 solo trip to NZ and you guys are giving me so many ideas! Great stuff. Thank you.
Great to hear! You're gonna love it
Was great meeting you guys today. Highlight of my day!
Nice to meet you too! Thanks for saying hey 👋🏼 Hope your Maccas was worth the wait!
@@DanegerAndStacey filled a hole! Looks like the weathers sorted itself out for you! Have fun!
Loving the series. The Top 10s are so good to stay at. I try to stay at them when I go away
They've been great for us!
Between you guys and Kara and Nate, it's been a very crayfish/crawfish kinda week! I loved the seals footage. I was in Norfolk earlier this month and went on a hike similar to Kaikoura where it's almost guaranteed that you get to see them. The little fellas were a lot more active though for you. Spotting wildlife is just the best!! Excited for the whale watching episode next! 🐋
That sounds amazing! Hope you enjoyed the whale watching video :)
Beautiful video! I'm a little ahead but I can't wait for the Christchurch content!
Not long to wait! Really excited to share the Chch videos with you.
Awww you found Dora the camper van's twin! Love your work and your storytelling ❤️. Really hoping to be in NZ in 2022 and hopefully seeing NZ through my eyes after you've seen it the way you've! Can't wait. Lotsa love all the way from 🇲🇻
Lucky we got back into the right van 😂 Fingers crossed for you in 2022!
Thanks guy's, some great drone shots. 🚁Thanks for sharing your adventures in NZ.🦞 I love your videos 💖they make me smile😊.
Thank you! We loved getting those drone shots, such a stunning coastline. Your comments make us smile 😊
Exquisite content created by you two at its absolute realest.
Daneger, manhandling of the crayfish and seeing an epic moment of Stacey exuding pure joy seeing those baby 🦭
It’s truly fantastic getting this virtual experience of your country.
That's so kind, thank you!
@@DanegerAndStacey Massive thanks to you two for amazing content each week.
Awesome video! You 2 stayed in the exact same site as my wife and I on our honeymoon back in March. Such a lovely spot!
No way! It' was a great campground, and even better coffee across the road!
Hi guys stumbled across your videos during lockdown and just want to say they're awesome. Really enjoyed your croatian series :D think you guys would really enjoy doing the welsh coastal path when things are back to normal !
We're so happy you found us!
Being a one eyed South Islander, I thoroughly enjoyed your video..
I heard that the "waterfall baby seal nursery" you referred to was, I believe, totally destroyed by the earthquake...and unfortunately, there were some losses....
(Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, maybe a local can confirm..?)
My English born late wife loved Kaikoura as much as me...so pleased she was able to experience the uniqueness of this area..
Love the Kaikoura Coast..!!
Such a shame about the waterfall, we would've loved to experience what it was like pre-quake. At least the town is in full recovery mode now! It's such a cool place, we loved it.
love those stainless coffee cups! what a brilliant idea. ♻️
Aren't they awesome! Such a clever idea
Another beautiful place in South Island 💗🍻 A pint of Guinness and your stoked!🤣👍
Dane is like a moth to a flame when he sees Guinness 😂
Awww stacey your excitement seeing the seals ( brought a tear to my eye ). Yes i love animals too
What a lovley town how they re- built since the Earthquake .
Aww that's so sweet! They were beyond cute 😊
Love your videos so much. Love too travel and see the world too. But in this times your videos are vacation for me. Thanks too your both. I wish you all the best and are exited too see a lot of more vlogs. Warm regards from Germany
So happy to hear that our videos make you feel like you're on vacation! Sending good vibes to Germany!
What was the Guinness like !
Nothing else to say only another awesome video 😘love from🇮🇪💚🍀😘
Legitimately the best Guinness we’ve had outside Dublin and I don’t know why! Went back the following day to test I wasn’t going crazy and it was just as good. Normally it’s pretty bad in NZ sadly.
@@DanegerAndStacey Good to hear you enjoyed your pint. 👍😘
I knew that kray wasn't going to be cheap by a long stretch but no doubt an amazing culinary experience.
The seal pups are awesome. There's a crew in namibia that do awesome work helping them out saving them from sea trash.
Worth every penny! (as I'm sure you can tell by Danes reaction haha) Wow that sounds amazing!
Great that crayfish looked so fresh and delicious. Great vlog btw :D When you finally get back to the uk you need to stop off at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire in November. The seal colony there has the pretty white pups then and is so out of the way only the locals know about it. They are only ashore for about 12 weeks. More than a thousand of them! Then head up to Lindisfarne (check the tide times!!!!!!!!!) One of the most magical places we have and then Northumbria or even Edinburgh. Ssh you heard it here first!
We're going to have to start a dedicated list for all your amazing recommendations! We love local-only places!
Loving this series, can't wait to watch!
So happy you're loving it!
It sounds like Stacey just needs to bring a Guinness when animal watching and Dane will be just as excited as she is :)
🤣 seriously, tho.
Haha this is so true!!
Whenever we visit the rellys in Chch we always take a trip to Kaikoura. Amazing place.
Such a cool place, we love it there!
Ah Kaikoura, where else can u get cray and chips at 9.30 in the morning! Was there just after it reopened after the quake, was stunning 😍
Not a bad breakfast right!
Just watched your videos and that was really awesome.
Looks like you'd a great visit to Kaikoura guys - decent weather too 🙂
No complaints from us!
Love that you’re a Flyers fan! And, I love watching your videos!
He's SO excited the season is starting soon! I'm never gonna see him 😂
I love to see how happy Stacy to see the wild life. She is such a sweet heart ❤️❤️❤️ Was it a coincidence Kara & Nate and you guys also posted a Crayfish video on the same week? 😍
Aww thank you ❤️ That was just a coincidence! Sounds like we both had delicious days!
Enjoyed your Kaikoura experience the same way I did your Catlins drive. Love the storytelling. You bring out the best NZ has to offer! We had very good luck with the seals at Ohau but not with the whales. Nin's Bin was closed as well. Coming back again later this month for another try at whale watching.
Awesome! Thank you! Yeah sounds like you gotta go back to officially tick it off!
So fun, thanks again!!!
Thank YOU!
I love the sea! And those looked like lobster tails, they where huge! Such nice scenery too, I love small coastal towns always so charming! Dane is 100% right Guinness is mother's milk! They just came out with a coffee Guinness don't know if there available in NZ. But it's totally worth a go! Great video as always, safe travels cheers!
A coffee Guinness?! That sounds amazing, not available here yet but no doubt he'll be the first to try it once it eventually makes it here.
Thanks for the awesome video❤😊
Thanks for the love
great video guys!
Thanks so much!
Hello there, how are you ? Good weekend to every body!
Can't wait to come here in July 😍
Not long until July, how exciting!!
That'll learn ya for supporting the Flyers bro.😉😁
Haha ouchhhhh!
11:30 that looks like a bumble bee and she's confused you for a flower. Don't worry she won't hurt you. I guess you must smell nice haha
Next time you have crayfish, dip it in some mayo... great video guys.
Ohh interesting! We were only given the option of good old fashioned kiwi tomato sauce - next time!
Awesome video guys
Thank you!
I’m always astounded at how much Stacey’s hair looks silky and shiny. Am I the only one?
I want to know her secret!!!
😂 The secret is... that there is no secret!
I’m from Philadelphia so happy to see your a flyers fan
It's been an emotional rollercoaster watching Dane trying to support the flyers 😂
@@DanegerAndStacey yes I know I feel the same way
I went there back in 2014, i saw heaps of seal pups and the small lovely waterfall, it sucks when earthquake changed it
Wow can’t wait to try the food truck
Such a unique place, and GREAT food!
Looks like so much fun!! I loved seeing the seals and had a similar reaction to Stacey! Haha.
Question though - are the conversion prices right for the Nins bin? Or is it a per person price if there's 2 people for that tail?
Been watching all your videos (seriously awesome and both my partner and I have gone to a few places on our road trip cos we saw it on your videos) and every other one seems to be a per item price.
Woops, we got that conversion wrong sorry! It was $55nzd total for 2 people ($40usd / £28) Apologies for the confusion!
Am I the only one that wanted to lick the screen when they were showing us the cray?
😂 Hope you did!
I think that conversion rate is a bit off haha
$55NZ = $19USD/£17 No wonder our houses are being scooped up!
Great vid!
😂 Our bad! Good spotting
Lol poor Marcel 😂
Well, if that don't make you wanna go road trippin', nothing will (gold standard weather and all!)
That waterfall (which acted as a seal nursery) was about 400m up 'Ohau Stream', over your right shoulder in the background. I've been there pre-earthquake watching them play, about 20 of them leaping and jumping, it's quite the sight. Google Ohau stream seals.
That sounds so cool, gutted we didn't get a chance to experience Kaikōura pre-quake but we can't really complain, it was still amazing!
Use your hand ✋ instead of knife and fork. That's pretty much how a typical *Indian* would have a meal. The food and waves 🌊 look amazing ❤️Sending you all *positive vibes* from an *Indian Travel Vlogger*.
Things taste better when you eat with your hands right? 😋
I love thiz video
Happy to hear it!
we need a primer on crayfish vs. crawfish vs. lobster? cuz we were thinking crawfish-type things and what you had was the size of lobster! super curious how it’s similar/different.
We have no idea 😂 If any experts would like to let us know, please do!
Years ago brought a crayfish same place drove one hour. 9 o’clock at night got home. The crayfish was rotten never for 😮gave them Just worked it out. It was 52 years ago.
Y’all should’ve gone to the seal colony closer to town get to touch seals there
We went there but didn't see any
SEAL PUPIE!!! ♥♥♥
Aren't they cute!!
No knife and fork, that is the way to go. Meanwhile, your crayfish are huge! Almost like little lobsters. I think they are called rock lobsters here in the U.S. Our crayfish are teeny tiny...and from freshwater.
Oh wow that's so interesting!
Why not. I have tacos with cilantro and onions with hot sauce for breakfast 🌮😅😅😅
YUMMMMM!!!
Hey guys! Please help! I’ve previously bought your book but I got a new phone recently and for the life of me I can not remember the name of the app used to read it!??? Please help! I’m going crazy!!!
Oh nooo sorry for the delayed reply, it's called Gumroad :)
@@DanegerAndStacey yesssss thank you! Also I’m mega pumped to be in the same country as you guys haha
😍😍
😊😊
i think NZ$54 is about US$39 not 17
Good spotting, typo on our part - apologies!
For the internet why don't you guys use mobile hot spot
We do sometimes :)
Please 🙏🙏🙏 don't make me jealous but zealous for kaimoana NZ.
Can't help it sorry, that is the king of kaimoana right there!
I do enjoy crayfish, and eating it a few meters from where it is caught, with the smell of the ocean in the air, all adds to the experience. But it is possibly the most overrated food in the world for the price! In saying that, you can’t not have crayfish in Kaikōura!
So true, it's probably illegal to leave Kaikōura without trying the Crayfish 😂 An expensive but delicious treat
Not sure how you turn $55 NZ ( for crayfish)in $17 US. I wish. It is actually $40 US . Watch your finances!
Yup, we're human and we made a mistake
What a robbery, complete rip off. Boring and plain. I paid $70 for a stringy not properly cooked tail and didn't even include sides. I also had to pay extra for the garlic butter and lemon. This should be boycotted.
That’s a shame! Our experience was great!
