[@wlg685]

Probably the most beautifully presented video Ive seen of Wellington, thank you for sharing! We are definitely proud of our unique and cool city 🥰

[@cjexplores]

Aww 🥰 thanks Renee ❤️🙏🏼 that’s really kind of you to say ☺️

[@mateoscujerrelllatisha1552]

Wellington's charm in 24 hours? You've nailed it

[@cjexplores]

[@ajayarjun1390]

Super beautiful city in Wellington

[@cjexplores]

Woohoo!!

[@michaelhall8586]

Wow Wellington is stunning!

[@cjexplores]

@@michaelhall8586 isn’t it just!?

[@naturephotographychallenge]

Loving how many vegan places there are in Wellington! Awesome!! 😀 And so many amazing things to see near town. The Botanic Gardens look beautiful

[@cjexplores]

There's loads of vegan places, maybe we should do a full vegan tour..? 😜

[@tracygrant2923]

I can see how it’s used in film locations, so unique! It must be such a blessing to go back to NZ to see your family Cory and visit all the wonderful locations around Wellington. Thanks guys ❤

[@RubenDan-qf7ic]

Hello Tracy, how are you doing today.

[@smitz7847]

Wow looks amazing didn’t realise how nice a city in NZ is i just imagined the countryside to be

[@cjexplores]

The city is certainly something special! There's so much green space around and a tiny little city nestled in amongst the hills 😊

[@sisselnilsen4699]

Went to NZ 2001 March. Went all over. Tepapa was my research project, nature and culture - maori v and Pakeha encounters. Social anthropologt study. Oh how I miss my first visit Downunder. Fell in love with treeferns and the exotic by being so far from home. JETLAGGED. Much missed

[@cjexplores]

Awesome! Sounds like an epic trip 🤩

[@ingridnh1]

Lovely video. Wellington is quite beautiful! ❤

[@cjexplores]

Thank you Ingrid 🙏

[@nailokimutilifa2687]

Indeed a beautiful town 😍

[@exploreearth6275]

Wonderful Wellington

[@AltitudeAerialCornwall]

Great video guys what a beautiful city.

[@cjexplores]

Thanks mate ❤️

[@angusrobertsonpianist]

Great video again, guys - thanks! It's nice to finally watch a video about Wellington City, and nice to put footage to the name,lol! Wellington seems quite a lively city. Calburn Gardens reminds me of the Abbey Gardens on Tresco, Scilly Isles.

[@cjexplores]

Thanks Angus! Wellington has a lot going for it in terms of nature and adventure. There’s a big creative scene here as well which we are yet to tap into! We didn’t quite make it to the Isles of Scilly so can’t comment on that, but if it’s anything like the Botanic Gardens then sign us up! 🤣

[@GlenAndMado]

Good stuff guys!

[@cjexplores]

Appreciate it 🙏🏼❤️

[@wadoodrehman3669]

I went to Wellington few weeks ago for one day. I loved it

[@cjexplores]

Oh nice one!! When the weather is on point it can be one of the best cities in the world!!

[@ThatStokeBloke]

Going there in a few weeks from South Australia, really excited.

[@cjexplores]

Oh awesome! Have an amazing time 🙌🏼 we hope you have nice weather!

[@Chingleton]

damn. Definitely have to go back to Wellington. Love the video guys.

[@cjexplores]

Thank you! Definitely enjoy another visit if you get the chance 🙌

[@fit_with_chhoker]

Very beautiful city ❤️😍🥰

[@cjexplores]

Isn’t it just!? ❤️😍

[@mariastar108]

very cool video! thank you so much guys - you are incredible! I always watch your videos with great pleasure 💌 are there any sights with Xena Warrior princess movie exhibits?

[@cjexplores]

Thanks for watching! I had a quick Google search and most of the filming was done in Auckland for that series 😉 in a studio and around the area of Auckland.

[@samhall2130]

Very cool

[@cjexplores]

@@samhall2130 thanks Sam ❤️

[@margeg1]

Amazing videos! Going to NZ in a couple of months, thanks for all the help. I noticed your nice travel gear too. May I please know what brand of backpack Charlotte is using here? 14:16

[@cjexplores]

Thanks Marge 😁 we are working on a couple more at the moment, our Auckland one will be released this weekend! The backpack is from Dune from the UK 😉

[@BenGrainger]

Love Wellington. What camera equipment do you use?

[@cjexplores]

Thanks Ben - currently shooting on the DJI Pocket 3 😊 such a great camera!

[@GulcanErdikmen]

Thanks for video

[@cjexplores]

Most welcome 🙏

[@AgitEkmen-jr2oe]

Great video

[@cjexplores]

Glad you enjoyed it ✌️

[@shasha4152]

Thank you for the video. I'm going to Wellington as a solo traveler and planning to get a hostel in the CBD. Did you just film this video in one whole day and just by walking (of course with the exception of the cabke car)? I would love to visit these places too. Your reply would be greatly appreciated 😊

[@cjexplores]

Yes, all in a day's work 😮‍💨 though it's not a big city! Our friend actually stayed in a hostel that was really great and it's very centrally located just off of Cuba St. You should check it out, it's called - The Marion Hostel

[@shasha4152]

​@@cjexploresthank you very much for your reply 😊 I do appreciate it 😊😊😊😊 take care guys

[@cjexplores]

@@shasha4152 no worries!

[@shasha4152]

​@@cjexploresalso, thank you for your hostel recommendation 😊

[@cjexplores]

@@shasha4152 no worries. Our friend gave us a tour there and it was really lovely inside

[@reesey30]

hi, what was the temperature when you were there on dec? looks sunny but not hot

[@cjexplores]

I think we were in the mid 20s there Reese 😁

[@mahmoodhussain-he6wm]

good morning hi respect able good sweet couple God always happy you and your family ❤️ thanks

[@cjexplores]

Good morning to you! Thank you for watching our videos 😁🙏🏼

[@TechnoMonkeyFarm]

How do you get your colours so good? Are you recording in LOG and colour grading etc..?

[@cjexplores]

Hi 👋🏼 recorded in the standard profile on the DJI Pocket 3 and colour graded in post 😊

[@TechnoMonkeyFarm]

@@cjexplores Great camera, have you been using it for your entire NZ trip? Do you ever record in ProRes on the iPhone?

[@cjexplores]

@@TechnoMonkeyFarm yes, we picked it up in Thailand and it’s been our main camera ever since! So discrete. Never used ProRes in iPhone. But occasionally we will include footage from the iPhones 5x telephoto camera 😊

[@TechnoMonkeyFarm]

@@cjexplores Thanks, I found your channel as we’re heading down from Perth to Augusta tomorrow. I’ll record some ProRes in Apple Log HDR and have a play around with the colour wheels. You guys are very talented I’m surprised you don’t have way more subscribers, do you have a side hustle also or just get by on income from KZbin? Keep up the good work!

[@cjexplores]

@@TechnoMonkeyFarm thanks for that, it’s really nice to hear ☺️❤️ we have a few side hustles going at the moment, some video editing, some social media jobs, and then KZbin 😊

[@Adrian-ru5lb]

Wellington is way better than Auckland

[@cjexplores]

@@Adrian-ru5lb agreed 🙌🏼☺️

[@michaelheliotis5279]

1:26 I'm pretty sure there's usually a sign right next to that platform that says don't jump into the water here because it's full of poos, but like nobody ever pays any attention to it so they literally leap at the opportunity to swim in shit. Maybe it wasn't there at the time you were there because the levels were "safe", but I still wouldn't trust it. 😅🤢

[@cjexplores]

It is kind of separated from the rest of the harbour using dividers. I’m not sure if they’re water tight but it seems all good down there.. 👀

[@davidsivills3599]

So much better than the UK, over here it's cold wet and dirty and over populated.

[@cjexplores]

New Zealand is kinda like a mini UK really… we both have our beautiful summers and dreary winters 😜

[@familyfunflatwithjess7090]

Sadly you didn't go to the best view in wellington..Wrights hill road...Mt vic is not ok..I dislike the drive and view of people homes in view..especially so.e of the run down ones..you have to have a car and it's confusing...I know my partner feel in love with wellington seeing the beauty of wright's Hill and its amazing sun set from all wellington 360 and alot higher..but anyways that's just me the dad of Jessica. .we live in karori..Zealandia...Wilson bush..wainui lookout Is amazing also compared to that vic thing..tourist trap..for someone from wellington..these are basic spots..nothing special and I am from wellington...

[@cjexplores]

Wrights hill is now on our bucket list for Wellington, well done you’ve sold it to us!! 👏🏼 but I don’t think Mt Vic is a tourist trap. It’s very close to the city, beautiful bush walks and 360 degree views! We also plan to visit Zealandia when we are back in Wellington, and to do some of the walks through Wilton and Otari 😁 thanks for all your local tips! ❤️
