The dedication to correctly pronouncing Maori words and place names 👌

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yaaaaaaayyyyy 😊 We have been putting in SO much effort to learn, so we really appreciate you noticing ❤️ Thank you!

[@rodrigocarvalho7509]

I have been catching up those new videos, once again, amazing stuff. Really beautiful spots. Cool campervan by the way.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thank you! We love Dora our campervan too, she's been great!

[@jujubea3270]

I've been watching through all of your NZ road trip to plan my trip there in December. ☺️ I was over there on a working holiday visa when the pandemic hit so I had to leave with so much of my NZ bucket list still to go! Now I have to squeeze it all into 3 weeks so watching your videos helped me make sure I didn't miss anything (it also helped me note down so food options!) Thank you for your great vids 👏👏

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Have fun! 3-weeks is fast but possible, spend more in the South Island!

[@stephenberry8658]

I recommend you go to Vava'u Northern Tonga to swim with humpback whales... Last month we spent a week up close and personal for 5 days from Tonga Blue Lagoon resort.. AWESOME.... swimming with Mother and calves, males hanging vertically singing, Heat Runs with multiple males pursuing a sole female... mother and calf plus one or two male escorts... Whales breaching, floating on the surface, a calf coming up from the depths to pass close to you and look you in the eye... To be followed by mum and then the escort... And most of all... The incredible tenderness between mother and calf humpback... Spell binding magic in their majesty. What a privilege....

[@kavitanair7061]

Full entertainment with information

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thank you!

[@JenYasha]

In 2019, I was working in New Zealand and was heading by bus up to the North Island for a job and stopped in Kaikoura for a few days. I did the whale watching flight. We did not see any whales but we did see a huge 80+ pod of dolphins.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Gutted about the whales, but how sick seeing 80+ dolphins!

[@JustinBrehm]

I always look forward to your videos since I watch everything from the beginning very funny and informative please be safe

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Justin! 😊

[@JustinBrehm]

@@DanegerAndStacey of course

[@beeohel6787]

This was one of the most peaceful and tranquil video that I have seen in a long time🙏 As always another awesome video love from🇮🇪💚🍀😘

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That moment when the whale dives down 😍 is like the definition of tranquility!

[@lorrainepannetier]

Amazing video! I loved Stacey's excitement at the seals (last video) and this time with the whales and dolphins was simply serene and magical. Thank you for creating such gorgeous content, I can't wait to visit NZ once the borders re-open to international travellers. ✨

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Kaikoura is really delivering on the wildlife front, we love it here! Hope you get to visit soon 😊

[@rachellesutton6201]

Awww man, I'm thrilled for you guys! What an exciting and magical whale tour 🐳🐋🐬

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It was unreal, so hard to put into words!

[@WanderThisWay]

Went whale watching in Alaska so this video made me smile with good memories :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Whale watching in Alaksa 😍 Now that sounds like a bucket list experience.

[@LittleGetaways]

OMG! 🐳 Whale watching is incredible. Added to my bucket list ❤️

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's so surreal, an unforgettable experience for sure 😊

[@magsibule981]

What an amazing experience !!! New Zealand is definitely on top of my bucketlist, looks like such a wonderful place! Thank you for showing it to us✌🏻

[@iirrssjjee]

I'm literally crying rn.... We would have gone to New-Zealand for a 4 week roadtrip this March..... We've planned it for October for now. But I guess it's false hope. I wanna go so bad!

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

I’m also hoping for October!!

[@iirrssjjee]

@@carolynclitheroe3588 Fingers crossed!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Fingers crossed for October!!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

I love Stacey's excitement. Looked like an amazing day of whale watching

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It was such a surreal experience :)

[@travelertrome8449]

Such beautiful, magnificent creatures. Looks like the weather worked out too! Loving this season 2 so far!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Apart from the strong sea sickness warnings, we couldn't have asked for a better day. So happy you're loving it!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

Had no idea about the oil in the sperm whales heads, that's fascinating!! Very jealous of your blue whale sighting. I've been fortunate enough to see whales in Tadoussac (Quebec) spotting Beluga and humpback. Blue whales are meant to be there when I visited, but didn't see any! 😔 Very much enjoyed this video 🐋

[@DanegerAndStacey]

They're such clever creatures, we had no idea either until this trip. Wow that sounds amazing too!

[@jenniferhirst2130]

Great video, we did not do the whale tour in NZ as we had the privilege to do tours off Vancouver Island in Canada & Iceland. Mostly orca and hump backs there but the same happened there, everyone stopped, no talking, no pictures. Everyone was in awe and in the moment. You can not prepare yourself for how it feels when you get close to these magestic creatures. The 🐬 on the mail boat tour in the marlborough sounds where fabulous, one of our favourite moments in NZ!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Oh wow, those sound like incredible locations for whale watching! So true, it's an indescribable feeling.

[@chonkpenguino9179]

The duskys around Kaikoura are absolutely wild 🤣 i live only a few hours drive from Kaikoura and every time I go I get to see hundreds of dolphins just from the beach! I have always been fascinated by whales but I get really bad seasickness :’) I do still really want to do the plane trip at some point though, and I’m not letting motion sickness stop me!! Absolutely amazing video, I really enjoyed it!

[@bacino49]

This made me remember when I use to go whale watching every year in Southern California in the late '70's. But in a deep sea fishing boat...nothing as fancy as yours. ;)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Oh you mean you didn't have business class seats on the deep sea fishing boat? 😂

[@wahabahmedvlog]

2nd...!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

🥈 YAAAY!

[@wahabahmedvlog]

@@DanegerAndStacey ❤️❤️

[@joanneyoung904]

that was simply awesome, I was so excited for you to see the whales and dolphins. thanks for taking us along

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks for coming on the adventure with us, wouldn't be the same without all of you!

[@TheCharbaby100]

Whales actually take my breath away, so magical! 🌟

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We agree! So magical ❤️

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Great video what a memorable trip! We were in Maui this past Feb. thankfully we saw so many whales even from our resort beach! They are fascinating! 😊

[@darrentan4579]

New Zealand Let’s Visit

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Do it!

[@beeohel6787]

Amazzzing 👍😂💕

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😂 Couldn't think of a better way to describe it myself!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw. What an epic trip to take the shot of the tail. going down breath taking 😱🤩. Great video

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So breathtaking, we were speechless!

[@StephenandAndie]

lol! you got a creeper over Stacey’s shoulder at 03:01. 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😂 Peek a boo! Good spotting!

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

I knew this would be ammaaazing and sure enough. Perfect vlog!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Aww, too kind! Thank you Lulu 😊

[@fifi4591]

You guys have no idea how much joy your videos give me 🥺. Amazing content as always.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Awww!! That makes our hearts happy to hear 😊

[@annjenson3573]

Is there a package deal from Napier please

[@RexWaldron]

Camera work absolutely on point to capture the dive! Fantastic that Stacey just let the moment sweep her along :)

[@jimramsey3279]

Hate the thought of stress put on whales. Whale whisperers, I think not. Free Willy was not a step forward for whales.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

These whales are just out in the wild living their best lives, no feeding, no getting up close, no interference

[@grantedgar1844]

Do not leave your bags unattended on the Whale Watch boats. Friend had several hundred dollars stolen from her bag after being told it was safe to leave it while outside.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Oh noooo! So sorry to hear that

[@evilduckqueen13]

Congratulations on 150,000 subscribers!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

YAAAAAYYY FINALLY 😂 Thank you!

[@nzmarco]

What a neat video. Well done, guys. Like all your episodes, I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to end.

[@lisaeveleigh658]

Is there any ugly places in New Zealand? Lol

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Not that we can think of but this sounds like a fun vlog to make 😂

[@marie_honeybee]

What time of day was your whale watch tour?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We went on the morning tour! Hoping that if it got delayed we had time that day to get out there still

[@sitiyangmenaip9514]

awesome and magical !! 😭🥺🥺 i visited NZ two years ago and am still regret till today i did not include Kaikoura in my itinerary..

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Aww! But what a great excuse to come back someday 😊

[@kyliecmann]

Beautiful guys. I can't believe as a Kiwi how much of my own backyard I haven't explored yet. I'm putting together a good list from your videos though. Thanks x

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We were in exactly the same boat not so long ago but now we can totally see why international travellers rave about NZ. We're so lucky to call this place home ❤️ Glad our adventures have helped you put together an exciting list of things to see & do!

[@nikkilogan7726]

Love the whales!! I felt like travelling with you & seeing the whales up close. So peaceful, awesome vlog. Thanks Dane & Stace 😎🇳🇿💖

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks so much!

[@zoemorrison07]

This was honestly so perfect! It was just magnificent! Me and Stacey are one and the same! I recently went to a maritime museum and they have a titanic exhibit, I was gone, I left my boyfriend and was off, so if I ever had the chance to see whales or dolphins in the wild, I’d be long gone! This is just absolutely astonishing! 🐬🐋💗

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we are definitely alike then! I completely forgot that we were vlogging and just stood at the railing with a massive smile on my face!

[@_Claire_Louise_]

This is amazing! When I was there the whales were nowhere to be seen but I was booked on the swim with dolphins tour and we got so lucky! We swan with around 100 and on the way back came across what the crew guessed was about 300! It was the most magical thing I've ever done and seen

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's a shame about the whales but what an incredible dolphin experience 😍 Sounds so magical!!

[@dmnt-ce5hu]

Bro, that tail in the air was epic!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Amazing right?!

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

God I’m such a saddo. Me again #1

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Weird, you spelled champion wrong 😂❤️

[@karendoody4581]

dolphins are my favourite along with cats

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Where to dogs fit on your list? 😋

[@CodrutaChira]

hey! this is great, i was starting researching costs of viziting nz, and the motor homes just clicked. its great. we live in romania and want to visit nz someday. do you have any kids friendly recomandations?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We're definitely not qualified for anything kid-friendly but make sure you watch our friends Stephen and Jess from Flying the Nest, they just did a massive road trip over here with their baby so that might be helpful for you 😊

[@CodrutaChira]

@@DanegerAndStacey Thank you for your recomandation, I'll look them up! :-)

5:06 big girl throwing up LOLLLLLLL. u guyys need to pay more attention when editing. no one wants to see that

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Do you have any idea how disrespectful it is to call someone 'big girl'? This is the reality of what happens on board when you're issued a strong sea sickness warning, you don't have to watch it, no one is forcing you.
