3 Months of Van Life in New Zealand - Episode 1
We have arrived in New Zealand, the first stop on our travel year! We’re here for the next 3 months and will be traveling to the North and South Islands in a camper van. This video documents our first 2 weeks in the North Island.
After picking up our van, we visit Rangitoto island to climb Auckland’s largest volcano, explore Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel Peninsula, and visit two geothermal parks in Rotorua, before heading to Taupo to see New Zealand’s most popular natural attraction, Huka Falls.
