Better than NORWAY? | Motorcycle ride to Milford Sound in New Zealand [E13- S6]

[@2631Fred]

Proudly a KIWI. We have soo much to be great full for in NZ. Thx Runa for showcasing NZ. We need tourism. We are an Island and one of our big industries was tourism untill covid came along. We need people like you to put us back on track. THX!!!

Oops, and Pride is a SIN. D'OH!! 🙄

Always wanted to go to New Zealand until some of the socialist draconian measures NZ implemented during Covid that completely ignored science.

Kia ora Runa. Very down to earth narration, enjoyable.Hope you managed to conserve some of that ZEAL for the rest of New ZEALand.👍

Thankyou Runa for showcasing my country 'New Zealand' so well 👌and your ride just spoke for itself 👍✌

My pleasure, I enjoyed it so much! What a fantastic country you call home 😍

[@skyd8726]

New Zealand is where mother nature put all of her leftovers & spare bits. A desert, some fjords, forests, etc. Stunning scenery, and nice to bump into some other riders!

You are awesome, awesome attitude as always and one that really knows how to greet the day and what ever comes your way, beautiful country to say the least, like my fellow countrymen I wished I was there with them especially to meet you would have been the icing on the cake, but I digress, look forward to next video, many thanks Runa, Rob from U.S.

I'd guessed that your latest profile photo was taken at the Eglinton Valley Viewpoint and I guessed right. Great camera work and editing as always, and I'm so glad you had the right weather.

It's summer here now in the South Island of NZ, weather is great for riding. Also, should take the boat ride while in Milford Sound, you get to see so much more beauty and water falls. :)

Thank you for the kind words! I hope you follow your dream and go for it, when you're ready 😊 Good luck and stay safe!

Runa, yes, it reminds me of Noway for sure. Thanks for a lovely episode, great photography, stunning scenery, well picked appropriate music, it's obvious how much effort you put into this. Keep up the great work. ❤ 😊 happy travels. Nice to have you back.

[@OffSheGoesADV]

Thank you very much! 😊 Glad you liked it. You would love this ride, seeing you enjoyed Norway so much this summer 😃 Have a great Monday over there!

[@Shenzenxo]

New Zealands terrain & mountains are more extreme though, much more diverse too!!

[@ManWithADream]

Hi Runa, The memories of my past trips to NZ keep flooding back for me with every video. Now you know why I had to go back 5 times (so far) and drive the Milford Sound Rd a second time. Just a stunning place isn't it. Did you manage to do the Fjord boat cruise? I wondered if safe bike/gear storage would still be unavailable ? I did the boat cruise out to where the fjord meets the ocean and back again in two different years. Passing all the glorious waterfalls, it was wonderful. Homer Tunnel takes you by surprise when you first enter doesn't it, because it is so dark & dripping water & immediately decends steeply downhill. I wiped away a couple of tears watching this, loved this video Runa, Thanks so much for sharing again, made my day. All the best from Australia.🤩🤩🤗🦘🦘

[@OffSheGoesADV]

I totally understand why you have visited so many times, I already feel like going back! Such a stunning country, with incredible variety. I did not do a boat cruise this time - I did not plan well enough 😅 Thank you for your always kind comments and for following along on my adventures 🥰 Hope you have a great day!

[@ManWithADream]

@@OffSheGoesADV This worked for me Runa, pre-booked the boat cruise ticket on-line (picked one of the twin hulled catamaran boat cruises), stayed in small motel in Te Anau day before (explored the excellent DOCS visitor centre on the Te Anau Lake foreshore), left early next morning for Milford Sound, arriving at the Fjord before 10:00am, only stopping at a few spots. Found a car/bike park, took the free bus (or walk 10mins) around to the boat wharf, enjoyed the wonderful boat cruise (1hr 45min approx). Then took my time on the drive/ride out of Milford, stopping at all the beautiful places for photos etc that I drove past on the way down. I am wondering if you visited Dunedin and the stunning Larnach Castle, but dont tell me, I'll just wait and see where your adventure took you next. 😁😆🤩🤩 All the Best Runa. 🦘🦘

[@RoyBarnes-v9p]

Hi Runa 👋, Milford sound is stunning and also the whole ride was, love the bird taking food off your hand, filmed 14 days after my birthday, I don't think I have said before (please forgive me) your commentary on the videos is so good and I find soothing, also your filming is like the scenery stunning 👏. Thanks for another great video, Take care of yourself, My best wishes to you from Roy in England 👍😊.

[@OffSheGoesADV]

Good day, England 😃 That's kind of you. It's a work in progress, and I love trying to find new ways to make my content a liiiiittle bit better each time. Thank you Roy, and I hope you have a great day!

I've just watched Henry Cole's 2 episodes of a m/c tour of NZ. Enthusiastic is to understate it, but he didn't go to Milford Sound, but you have! I'm so envious.

I have been watching a few foreigners doing vlogs on NZ travels, this is my first watching a solo traveller, it was the motorbike to Milford that did it. I have a good Norwegian lady friend living in the south of NZ, so that was another reason. Really cool video, keep up the great work.

[@OffSheGoesADV]

That's nice to hear! Loved traveling through New Zealand - the variety in the landscape really took me by surprise. Kept things interesting every day! Thank you and hope you have a great day over there 😊

[@stephenpotts8170]

Your narration was good, these things happen, and in the middle of nowhere it's difficult to sort. But to be honest the beautiful scenery spoke for itself. Thank you.

Great video. I have driven that road many times for work and for pleasure. But it must have been so much fun on a bike. I have sailed the Sogne Fiord in Norway. Very similar scenery. Not so many tourists there. Thankfully.

[@OffSheGoesADV]

Oh wow that must have been a nice sailing! Seeing the landscape from the seaside is so different. It sure was a fun road to drive - NZ road standards are good!

[@philliptaylor8270]

I have to agree with the other comments about just how fantastic riding these roads are. All I can say is, if anyone has not done so, then they must ride the " Mainland " roads as they really are very good and the experience is very uplifting!

I think it's hard to go wrong with any roads in New Zealand, but this one was definitely one notch up 😃

Haha, true! Thank you, Atholl 😊 It actually turned out to be a nice challenge, to not rely on the helmet audio! Actually, I don't work as a nurse anymore. I just realized, I don't think I ever shared any of that on youtube, except for in my presentation at ABR 😳 I actually quit my full time job last year, and now I do content creating full time, both for myself and a couple clients!

[@RoyCoffee-w5b]

It really is amazing in those mountains-the best I have ever seen, even in my own life. You know, in your face shot, riding with your helmet and camera attached, you look like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" from the old sci-fi flick. Roaming around those parts a hundred years ago might not have been safe to look like that.

[@OffSheGoesADV]

Hahaha I had to google it, and I do see some resemblance 😂

[@RoyCoffee-w5b]

@@OffSheGoesADV I know. Also, at the time I made that comment I wasn’t even thinking about your experience with the opposum but your experience of that screeching kind of crept in on me and I found myself thinking about it. That must have been surreal. Maybe that’s why I had the association of “the creature from the black lagoon?”

[@SKgeostrat]

Nice Runa, You are succeeding in making bike adventure nice without having to be offroad. So many ADV riders insist on the off road part, IMHO forgetting about the landscapes and the views, as if bike adventure could only be had properly, if you are off the bitumen. Since you are in the business of subscriber numbers, I wxant to mention one thing that "sort of" disturbs me; your gratuitous swearing, using half swear words like "frigging", "fricking", "shit", "f....", "damn", etc., when an adjective like "very", "so" would do fine. You'll never hear Itchy Boots do that and she has 2.5M subscribers. Dont underrstimate the large part of the population that does not like swearing in a video and who might be put off by it. I say this constructively, because you do so many things really well and I think you do yourself a disservice, by using words that may stop some people from subscribing. It did not stop me, but....!
