On our big New Zealand road trip last year we drove the West Coast and through the Haast Pass knowing full well there was lots to see and do - the most popular being the Blue Pools. Though often called the Blue Pools Wanaka, they're actually on the Haast Pass drive and part of Mount Aspiring National Park - but often people do what we did, driver from Queenstown or Wanaka back to check them out.
The Blue Pools has a super popular walking track as well, though in this case the walk is short and the reward is incredible! This is some of, if not THE, bluest and clearest water we've ever seen in New Zealand.
Also in this vlog is breakfast in Wanaka at Scroggin before a walk down to lake Wanaka, which has hopefully topped up somewhat now since our visit. The attraction in Wanaka lots of people go to see is That Wanaka Tree, though you can see from the vlog our viewing was just a tree without the lake surrounding it, but still looking stunning and unique out there all alone.
That's a wrap on these Queenstown vlogs and before we collect our new pup we're off to both the Cook Islands and Australia to share some international adventures finally!
Special thanks to New Zealand tourism for the Lake Wanaka footage showing That Wanaka Tree in it's full glory!

Really enjoyed this leg of your travels guys 🙏💙
HAHA the 💎 and bits were struuuuuglin!
@@DanegerAndStacey you guys are simply awesome 👌😂🙏
The Blue Pools looks amazing!
Stunning water!
Those waters were just stunning 😍 Based on both of your reactions, I don't know if I could have braved going in! The Cook Islands looks amazing so can't wait for that to come out - though there's a couple of Queenstown ep's I still need to catch up on. I'm looking forward to work finally quietening down in July so I have time to actually watch things I want to when they come out, not be behind with just about everything!!
Hope you've had time to slow down a little even before July! Yeah honestly those were some cold waters, if not for the camera I dunno if we woulda gone in haha
😂😂😂 you were both exstream brave going to that water 😱🥶
Wauw the colour of Blue were absolutely 😍. What a Beautiful place .
Really enjoyed your series Trip to Queensland. Sure plenty of place & activities to do
Thank you for taking us along 😊
Sure you both be back 😜 can see Snowboarding /skiing’s on the Bucket list in this
after you going down in karts in the Dust !!!
Aww the Clip of Nalu so sweet❤️❤️❤️ .
Looking forward to your next adventures on Cook island.
Take care 🥰
YES snowboarding soon hopefully, would be epic to get Stace to learn in some place like Japan maybe.
I have a live photo of the Blue Pools as my phone wallpaper so I can see it every day 😂 looks like you guys got lucky since it didn't seem like there were any sandflies 😅
How cool! Nice photos there if you get the timing with the sun right. Actually we did notice some areas that were a bit intense on the sandfly front
Love your videos I’m going to New Zealand In October from the uk cannot wait
Wow this looks amazing! I’ll add it to my list (I should probably learn how to swim first though 😬😂)
Haha you prob don't need to learn because you won't spend more than 2 seconds in there anyway
Been watching you guys for ages and I’ve finally, finally booked my trip to NZ (from the UK so she’s a trek) starting in Queenstown, and revisiting allllll your NZ videos through the, ‘omg I’m finally coming here’ lens is LIT!
That is awesome! YAY! So stoked you can finally make it
Amazing!!
YES FAROUT! Beautiful hike! You both had us cracking up at the waters edge! 😂😂 Great video guys! ~Cara
Always enjoying hanging out with you guys! :-)
Much needed inspo Thanks!!
The source of the Riwaka in Abel Tasman is bitterly colddd give that one a go 🤟
Can’t wait for the next adventure!
Loved everything about your trip AGAIN. Thank you so much
Yay, thank you!
I think that's Mt Cook you can see with the snow.
this has made me change my itinerary
In a good way?
Absolutely. Going here on the way to queens town now in the itinerary
Good stuff mate, enjoy!
Did the sand flies not get you at the Blue Pools, they got me in 2020 at the second bridge. You really make travel something to look forward to around New Zealand
Actually they did in one or two spots but kinda isolated! Glad you got to check them out as well
@@DanegerAndStacey Hi to you both if you need to more about the tree seeds that are dropping I would suggest you check with a arborist who’s a member of the New Zealand arborist association, to protect Nalu, she will give you both lots of love. My dog Isla is a bit of a thief and has stolen food from the table with sultanas & raisins in and are poisonous to dogs , so I’ve had 2 trips to vet to get a vaccination to make her sick.
Awesome set of videos as always! I loved the free things to do bit.
So....guess what......WE HAVE ARRIVED...we are officially in NZ! Whoohooo.
Any suggestions on must see places in Whangarei? Outdoors and food? Keen on getting some fish and chips that we have been craving since watching your first NZ series 🤣
Wow, delayed reply but how cool - welcome to Aoteroa! Hope you're having the most epic time!
@@DanegerAndStacey Been a bit overwhelming and challenging to be honest, but as soon as we settle I am sure it will be epic. Already done a bit of tramping....but mostly been working and looking for a place to stay.
I heard a rumour that #thatwanakatree was originally a willow fence post that took root and started to re-grow 🌳
That's an interesting thought, sounds like it's the kinda thing that could be true because its just so bloody random
The swim looks absolutely worth it.
Great series on Queenstown. If I may ask, when were you there? It would be helpful if you put your travel dates in the description of your videos. Thanks!
Good point - we kind of forget that these vids are found months and years later. This was March / April
In which month did you film this video? Just wondering whether you had that cold swim during the summer months or just recently? Awesomeness either way :)
This was only recent, like a month or so ago. I think even in summer you should expect some cold ass water!
i love ur vids :)
ANOTHER LOVELEY VIDS STACEY AN. DANEGER. ARE YO GUYS STILL DOWN SOUTH IN QUEENSTOWN NOW ETC.
Thanks from Florida. Have a Safe Trip.
Hold on, where were you buzzing about on that board on the lake? Haven’t seen that in any vids
Ahh there was 2 experiences we weren't able to film for our channel really because of audio, they went into our Jetstar guide to Queenstown vid!
👍❤
We’re planning for October. Noticed you’re wearing jackets… what month is it? And please share driving /car rental tips!
This was April I think, in that part of NZ it's best to always have a jacket! Our Queenstown guide will be the best to talk through the seasons, where to stay and what to do and you can compare car rentals here: geni.us/ewJhfim
Was the reason it was a great breakfast because of the food or because you got to pet the beautiful pup? 😉
Both! You know us (ok, fine, Stace) far too well haha
I'd feel the same way
Hi guys! What time of the year was this? And what time of year do you recommend to go to Queenstown? 🙏🏽
We can't recall the exact time sorry, we've been in every season and they all have their pros. Our Queenstown guide has all of our best knowledge and insights, but we like the shoulder seasons around ski season the most
With a water that looks like that... who can say no to swimming?
Exactly! The nips and nuts will recover!
MESSAGES CUZZY RORY BACK TOO NIGHT IF SOO. ANY NEW VIDS COMEING UPP SOON LIKE THE LOVELEY NELSON NZ NEW ZEALAND ANY SNOW UPP ON THE HILLS DOWN SOUTH IN QUEENSTOWN
no sandflies? wow....
They were there, but not as bad as we've been told by some people - apparently it's insanely bad there?
Nice. Regards from Malaysian utuber
Hello new zeland
Hello :)
How long is the walk? looks stunning
All of 30 minutes or so, it's pretty quick!
Awesome video how high is the jump in the blue pools?
Maybe about 10 metres or so, it was pretty tempting
I would love to visit this place for a swim, what is the best time of year to visit? probably summer, how warm does the water gets?
Yeah summer for sure, Nov - Jan probs, but even then it's still glacial water thats gone freeze you right up sorry haha
Are there any public toilets there yet? last time I was there, toilet paper & faeces were spread through the forest track that leads to the blue pools.
Noooooope! There's nothing there at all really so nothings changed
Did he say he's balls froze? 🤣
😂 yup
@@DanegerAndStacey messages cuzzy rory back as i have had few rough asf days etc.
What month was this?
