Thank you for your very enjoyable videos. I've increased my knowledge of Estonia from zero to something more as a result of your walks. Love your water colours as well. Hope Luna isn't missing you too much, or you of her!
Hello Maiu, sincere thanks for sharing this beautifully filmed video. You always seem to capture the beauty of nature. I am hooked on your wonderful videos. The very best to you and your Mom. Always take good care of yourself. 🤗
Maiu thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I have to say this was just wonderful - watching it, my heart was filled with joy and excitement. So much beauty at every turn it even brought a few tears to my eyes. I've been watching your videos for some time now. You are an amazing person. You have inspired me to hike more and even begin trying my hand at watercolor painting during my adventures! I really love your mom with her sense of humor, intelligence, strength and such dignity. The two of you together warms my heart with the memories you are making together - and sharing with all of us.
Was lucky enough to finally visit Doubtful Sound in December of last year and it was incredible. The weather was cold and raining which meant many waterfalls. Both Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound are amazing, but there was just something extra special about Doubtful Sound and the whole experience.
Hey Hiker, Not likely I'll be going there, but it looks like a great time. I love that comment, "You want to be part of the nature, but you feel like part of the boat" ! What a great way to say that. Looking forward to your next video, as always.
What a lovely trip, views to die for, and a wonderful presentation ! New Zealand is at the top of my bucket list - North Island first (have family there), and South Island if possible. Such grandeur takes one's breath away. Thank you so much for bringing your experiences there to the rest of us who have yet to go. Cheers.
The early morning pictures on the milford road were amazing!!!! for our school biology trip we went to doubtful sound for a week - the place is amazing when it rains unless you are half way up a mountain collecting bugs and seeds . The whole mountain side turns into a stream - when thought we had waterproof jackets but they were not fiordland water proof. The milford trip is great to do just after the weather has clear after a heavy rain storm.
Great video. My only comment having been there in February this year in a small camper van I hired is. The drive is spectacular. There are lots of campsites on the way to the tunnel so you can camp about an hour from Milford Sound. I booked the first boat trip of the day just the day before and arrived early and had no problem parking or getting on the first boat tip of the day.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place. I might never get a chance to visit in person, so your videos and thoughts on your adventures are wonderful !!
Once upon a time, I drove tour bus for a little tour company that came into the town I live in. The people on the tourist that came off the boat would tell me, the crew was better than the big cruise ships. Oh, and the purser would always invite me onto the boat for lunch. Great meals too. Thank you for the video.
I'm fairly sure that water fall water worked!! At the end of the video, both u and ur mom appeared @ least 10 years younger!! 😎 As always, awesome, beautiful and relaxing video!!
Been there but did not hike it. They took us out on a boat smaller than a cruise liner that the Captain loved sailing so he had the sail hoisted and sailed around in the Sound. So we had to take a ship to the one side where the mountains were high, than most of us were eaten by the flies before the buses arrived than they drove us over these mountains to get on the ship to cruise around in the sound. That mountain road was scary as hell and I landed on an Aircraft Carrier out in the Mediterranean Sea on a small C-1 Cod. New Zealand was beautiful. I and my x girlfriend got there 6 months after the big Earthquake at Christchurch about 8 years ago.
This is so informative as I have been trying to decide for weeks now but I am worried about the Milford Sound road and if we should drive it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the experience you had there!
i like the drive into Milford Sound, but prefer Doubtful Sound myself, especially if you can stay overnight on the boat,, kayaking with dolphins etc,, its one on my favorite places, for many reasons,, i enjoy yet another one of you vids, thank you
I did the kayaking in MS and it was awesome (not trying to make you more jealous :-P)! In 2 months i'm going again but then I'll do DS but with an overnight cruise... expensive but I hope it's worth it!!
Thank you for this video, we’re going to NZ in a few months and couldn’t decide between doubtful and Milford, Milford it is! What company did you use for the cruise there? We absolutely want to get under the waterfalls!
Hey , you are really seeing some cool south Island spots and walks. If your returning to Auckland pm me if you would like any local advice on the north of the north
Listening to the wildlife in the sound was wonderful, but we had some tourists that didn't understand english and kept on talking. I had to yell at them and placed my finger over my lips and than they shuted up so we all could hear everything from the waterfalls to the birds to animals calling out.
when i visited scotland i went on lochness.the tourist boat only travels out for an hour then turns back which is a shame although the history talk is a very rich history. the loch is 26miles long and you cant see the end and the depth is deeper than the english channel...so for all the tech they have used they could still have missed the lochness monster because of the limestone cames at the bottom :)
Hi, I have been to Norway fjords and This New Zealand fjords as well..Both are awesome but My preference goes to Norway...but since I was a refugee from Communism, I would pick New Zealand because I want to get the farthest from Russia possible..I still love to live so after The Next WW3 , may be only New Zealand still stand...here I come ... to Kiwi land.
Looks like New Zealand was first in line when all the great scenery was handed out. Beautiful film. 😁
Nz has Jesus signature on this land the people living in nz are only his tenants 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏amen Jesus
How magical is New Zealand... what an amazing place!
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hooray! You are back!

I love your mom’s observation on being part of the boat.

Hello Maiu, thank you. My wife and I explored Milford Sound many many gears ago. your beautiful video brought back many cherished memories.❤
A beautiful experience for a beautiful person in a beautiful place.
Thank-you for sharing this.

Glad that the boat company were able to help out, after the schedule mishap. Stunning scenery! Stay happy.
I was never "doubtful" that you would post a good video......👏👏👏👏😉Excellent scenery

I'm happy to hear you had a good experience! I only heard about the February crowds from the local bus driver, I didn't experience it myself.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place. I might never get a chance to visit in person, so your videos and thoughts on your adventures are wonderful !!
Thank you for another wonderful video journey!
Silence, a rare treat in this modern world.
Absolutely stunning, thank you so much for sharing. Great video as always.
So beautiful, almost made me cry.....damn I'm getting old lol.

Stunning.
Doubtful sound, known for its peacefulness and quietness. It's like you can hear the pin drop.
Wow, you were so lucky with the weather!
We drove all day and saw absolutely nothing !
This is so informative as I have been trying to decide for weeks now but I am worried about the Milford Sound road and if we should drive it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the experience you had there!
I'm so happy to hear it helped you!
I am an avid open water kayaker. I would love to kayak the fjord
Finally 👌. purrfecto. Ty
Doubtfull is awesome
I did the two day kayaking on Doubtful sound and one day on Milford amazing experience.
i like the drive into Milford Sound, but prefer Doubtful Sound myself, especially if you can stay overnight on the boat,, kayaking with dolphins etc,, its one on my favorite places, for many reasons,, i enjoy yet another one of you vids, thank you
Oh yes, I believe if I could have kayaked and stayed overnight then i would have had much better experience!
It’s brilliant their I have been to both
I suggest having no music so we can also hear the “sound of silence.”
I did the kayaking in MS and it was awesome (not trying to make you more jealous :-P)! In 2 months i'm going again but then I'll do DS but with an overnight cruise... expensive but I hope it's worth it!!
I'm sure it will be awesome :)

Maiu's Mum is the greatest.
Our ship had kayaks for us to use besides they used the life boats to take others out and about.
Bliss! ☺️
방가워요 여기는 이제 가을이네요
에스토니아는 어떤가요?
Hey , you are really seeing some cool south Island spots and walks.
If your returning to Auckland pm me if you would like any local advice on the north of the north

aren't you a lovely person. Thanks for sharing
Best way to get to Milford Sound is to walk 😜.

Not true, Kiwi is not japan... I stomped over the North and South Island with my trusty Saucony and people are super nice.
The two of you look beautiful.
