Hooker Valley and Clay Cliffs | NZ South Island With Kids S2 Ep 7

[@wildgeesemediaagency]

New Zealand looks absolutely phenomenal! You lucky lucky people!

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

It really is amazing!! We feel extremely lucky and thankful to have the opportunity to explore. We have a self contained camper van and mostly stay at the freedom campsites so it has made traveling inexpensive for us!

New Zealand is absolutely beautiful. We love to hike in the mountains here in the US. These trips are going to be such great memories for both you guys and the kids.

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

It really is amazing here! It has both the mountains and beaches, which fits our family perfectly!!

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

Thanks Haylie!! We are definitely a water family and love the water!! We have family that lives in the Netherlands! What a wonderful place to call home!

Such a beautiful family 💖💖 Love your music choices too. Omg I just want to squeeze your kids. So pretty there.

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

Thank you!! For the music, we use Epidemic Sound. It costs $15usd a month, but has a great collection and we don't have to worry about copyright issues.

So jelly of all the travel you guys do!! Love the intro and nice background music! 😍 the mountains with the snowy caps!!

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

Thank you!! We feel so lucky we have the opportunity to explore! What's neat is we have a self contained camper van, so we are able to stay at the freedom campsites. We then cook most of our meals on our stove and do mostly free activities around NZ. Makes for really inexpensive trips!!

I have never heard of the clay cliffs. They look amazing!

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

It was a super cool and unique spot! We went at sunset, no one was there, it was stunning!

[@fluffs4897]

I have a feeling that when your children grow up they’ll be amazing hikers

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

I hope so! We love how much stronger they are getting now! In our next KZbin series, we will be returning to the South Island. We did an epic backpacking trip where they hiked 22 hours in 2 days

Nice video. I will be traveling and have Hooker Valley on my list. I hope I get a nice sunny day like you. How cold was the water?

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

Thank you! You will LOVE Hooker Valley! It's a bit crowded, but so gorgeous! The water temp was probably around 33-34 degrees Fahrenheit....super cold!!

10k with little kids. They must be good walkers.

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

They do pretty well! Kids are more capable than we think!

[@MsHGH1]

Hi! I've just watched your House Hunters international episode! Are you still in that place in Howick? It looked quite cute!

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

That's so awesome that you watched the episode!!! We loved that house! Unfortunately, we had to move out at the end of our lease because the landlords wanted to move in. Thankfully we found something else not too far from the other one!

[@fluffs4897]

When I heard your kid say “today we’re gonna hike to hooker valley” I kinda heard it in an American accent and when I heard “hooker” I kinda was surprised 😂

[@AlwaysAnAdventureWithKids]

Have your noticed our terrible pronunciation of places? 😂 I think we're starting to get a little better, but it is tough! For the longest time, we would avoid saying where we were because we didn't have the slightest clue how to say it correctly!

[@fluffs4897]

Always An Adventure With Kids I think your pronunciation is fine as long as you continue improving. I believe many kiwis have adjusts to Maori names being said differently with tourists and the majority of the time we’d know what they’re talking about.
