7 years after my trip to the north island of New Zealand, I am finally back with Justin to see the South Island. Our first task after landing in Queenstown was to go paragliding for the first time and we were both pretty nervous. We also made it to Milford Sound for an amazing time on the water. I hope you enjoy the first vide of this 8 part series about our trip. Filmed in January 2023 #newzealand #paragliding
These are the tours we did in this video. None of these were sponsored, we paid for our own excursions:

Once again I cannot believe I'm watching this for free. What a masterpiece!!!
Totally agree !!
You should have a show on travel channel. What you can make on your own absolutely equals what teams on those programs put out.
Thank you New Zealand for treating us so well! ❤
That was beautiful. you two are awesome and brave
Wonderful! I’m so excited to see a new trip from you and Justin :) New Zealand is one of my favourite places ❤
Mine too! Thanks for watching
Thank you for the beautiful video. Great to catch up with your video again.
Another incredible video!! I'm so excited for the next few weeks! Eight videos!! Your trips always look so magical and incredible! It's my dream to go to New Zealand, so thank you for sharing your journey! The struggle of driving on the opposite side is real, haha. It took me a solid week to adapt.
It took Justin a while to get used to it too. I'm so excited to be able to have a new video for you guys every week for a while!
Great video, can’t wait for your Milford Track video.
I love you and I love Justin! So happy to get more videos from you! What an inspiration! Please do not stop doing what you do. Sending love from Singapore!
Thanks! We will have a video going up every week for the next 2 months.
Thanks!
Just amazing, you're so so good at all of this. What a beautiful trip!
Thank you for your work Claire and Justin. That loop upside down was c r a z yyyyyyy !!! =)
We loved the video. You did a great job. It makes us want to go to NZ. Can't wait to watch the next episode.
Thanks for watching!
"We'll be making a water landing, but that's OK because this is a seaplane."
Seaplanes, clear skies, and good friends make for an excellent start to the trip! Can't wait to see what's next❤
Wow!!! Que lindo! Me deu vontade de conhecer a NZ. Parabéns pela filmagem. Muito show!
Obrigada!
Wonderful video, I was in Queenstown and Milford Sound back in 2010. I went hang gliding instead of paragliding in Queenstown and I think the paragliding is a lot more peaceful than hang gliding (plus it was tough finding a time when the wind was just right). I went kayaking in Milford Sound, but there were no sand flies probably because it was winter. Such a beautiful place and I want to go back. Very excited for this series of videos.
Thanks for watching! I was curious about hang gliding. I figured it would be more peaceful than paragliding but I guess both will put you through some g forces. We had a great time but after how sick it made me, I'm not sure I'd do it again unless it was a short flight. I'm so glad I didn't throw up on the pilot.
@@ClaireTrips Actually there is less of the "twirling," so maybe you should give the hang gliding a try! I've done paragliding in Switzerland and there was a lot more motion with the pilot spinning you around (which I loved!). The hang gliding was just more stressful on the take off because you have to run with the pilot and then when you are in the air, move your legs back. They do dips and stuff, but less spins. Thanks for the response, I'm a huge fan of your videos! I'm also wondering - how did you get the sound from your kayak guide and also from the sea plane headset? Were they mic-ed? (I'm trying to learn some film making techniques myself for some of my amateur vacation videos)
@@QPlourde My secret for headset audio is to take a tiny lavalier mic and I just shove it next to my ear into the ear of the headset and I use a little audio recorder to capture the sound from the flight. That way I don't have to bug the pilot. The kayak guide audio was just basic audio from the camera. It's not the best quality audio but I really liked his storytelling.
@@ClaireTrips Oh cool! The audio sounded really good, which is why I asked. I love the professional quality of your videos.
Excited for this series! So happy to see Claire and Justin out adventuring again! Also OMG those BURGERS!
The Burgers In NZ are next level 🙌
I love the dedication. "I couldn't get a spot on the milford sound walk so I skipped the entire south Island" haha. I never made it to Queenstown on my travels there but I have family who live in in Arrowton just down the road. Now I get to see what I missed out on :D
I'm glad I was stubborn about that. Having over 2 weeks on the South Island was really special.
@@ClaireTrips I was there in the south for 3 months and I didn't see half of what I wanted to. NZ has endless beauty and no shortage of mad things that they encorage you to jump off or out of as you've no doubt witnessed. Wish I'd spent a bit longer in the North though.
@@Kozu604 3 months!! That's epic!
Truly wonderful.
I love it!
Beautiful video, some of the shots you guys were able to get are just gorgeous 😍 I came to QT for a holiday mid last year and loved it so much that I went home, packed my stuff and now live here! Got into paragliding too, I might have even been flying from Coronet the same day you did!
That’s so awesome!
Wollll que massa, me arrepiei, que vista😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When it comes to the correct Maori pronunciations if those who don't know or speak Maori they will always get it wrong... Te Anau Teh-R-Noo
Thank you!! Good to know the correct pronunciation.
