Day Trip to Whangaparāoa Peninsula (Gulf Harbour + Shakespear Regional Park) | Auckland, NEW ZEALAND

[@nickandhelmi]

Omg GABO! We LOVE GABO 😘😘 so cool u guys can see stingrays on the marina!

[@PeterandYen]

Haha she's awesome always such a crack up 🤣❤️ yea so cool ay we could see him pop up quite a few times but often weren't fast enough with the camera 😆

[@FoodandFootprints]

Thai food with a view! Great way to start the day.

[@PeterandYen]

Precisely 😁👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Feeding peas is a great idea! So small and so many in the bag that you can feed a ton of fish

[@PeterandYen]

Yea! Never knew they like their greens so much hahaha 👍

[@mariaandbryan]

The view is astonishing! and Thai food, yum!!! Your friends are hilarious 😁😁

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yea they're crack up 🤣 I love how Garbo was like Nooo then just went right in for her joke again 🤣🤣

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

What a nice start of the day with some authentic thai food + incredible views from the restaurant! 😋

[@PeterandYen]

They were excellent views ☺️ so nice to look out to the bay!

[@paullong4471]

It is georgous..such a nice island.. With Self open and close wooden gate..animal prevention entry point. It is easy to look at kiwi??Beautiful natural landscape..i hope to visit this place Thank you.God bless

[@PeterandYen]

Hope you get the chance too! Not very easy to see a Kiwi in the wild as they're shy but they're also nocturnal creatures so if there's any chance it's outside at night in more forest areas. Easier to see them in conservation parks and Kiwi houses 🙂

[@NateVlog1]

Always love your videos ! 👏🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys! Happy holidays 🎉😁

[@RudyVisuals]

Would love to eat at thai windows! what a way to enjoy a pad thai the view from there was amazing 😍

[@PeterandYen]

Yes! Such a great view to enjoy with yummy food 😋👍

[@JerusalemWalker]

Thank you very much for nice video, friends! 🌴😊👍

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariaandbryan]

The fish is so happy getting all those peas. Yes Peter you were sooo excited seeing those stingrays, and we would have been too. Love marine life!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha he was like a lil kid it was pretty endearing 🤣❤️

[@nickandhelmi]

I see 0:29 effect😎 nice one with the beats guys. So generous amount of the food in the Thai restaurant

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha thanks! We do that effect quite a lot 🤣👍 nice easy one to create lol. Yea they were good sized dishes 🙂

[@RudyVisuals]

I would never have guessed that you could feed fish at the spot you were. It really is a secret spot. So cool that you got to feed the stingray!

[@PeterandYen]

It is! Quite a secret local spot ☺️👍 very cool the stingray kept swimming up and down and popping out now and then 😁💓

[@el_Yorchyini]

Hello friend cool you content Wuw 👍😃🙋‍♂️

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you 👍🙂

[@catherinekhoo474]

Very interesting seeing fishes going for food...n food looks yummy too😋😋😋

[@PeterandYen]

It was a feeding frenzy!! Never knew they liked peas so much 😯 The that food was yum 👍 maybe you can try if you guys go out that area Mum 😜

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

10:44 Jesus!!! so cuuuuuuute. 😍

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha pretty cute going for that sip of water ay 🐑☺️

[@berttroubleyn3475]

I'm watching this from a very dark and gloomy Belgium (the warmest winter in recent history, so no clear frosty skies or snow, only clouds and rain) and preparing for a strange Christmas Eve because of a new upward trend in the corona infections. Your videos are a sight for sore eyes, especially these days: sunshine, summer vibes, meeting with friends and relaxing,... All the stuff we've been missing out on for what seems forever! Enjoy life to the fullest, guys!

[@PeterandYen]

Aww hope things get better over there really soon Bert! ❤️❤️ Take good care and wishing you a merry christmas despite the situation! All the best from us both! ✨✨💕

[@aquairis]

I live in Gulf Harbour!!! Can’t believe I missed you guys. I took ferry to city almost everyday. We used to be able to feed the fish from the other side (on the pier), now the pier is closed.

[@PeterandYen]

Does the ferry depart from near spot? We saw the ramp/walk way but it was closed too. I think we were there on the weekend from memory! 🙂 That's a shame that pier is closed.. it gets you much closer to the water. Peter had to climb down the rocks to get closer to take a video of the fish 😅🐟 and yes.. in his jandals! Always makes me nervous 😅

[@aquairis]

@@PeterandYen yep, the ferry terminal is right at the end off that pier, you can probably see a lot of car parks there, that’s for park and ride.

[@PuriandSue]

Mmmm Pad Thai looks good - one of my favourite thai dish! Nice to see Gabo again! Omg feed peas to the fishes? Thanks for letting us know, we probably would have feed bread lol!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea! Peas are good for them, bread is terrible for animals! Peas are great too coz so small and you can chuck lots out and feed many at a time 😁 we didn't know till our mate Sam told us and we read up on it too 👍🙂

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Peter and Yen!! Awesome you're starting the adventure off with some food. What a beautiful view from the restaurant. Chicken Pad Thai... we will take 2 plates! The price on the meal $21 USD was really affordable as well. That was so awesome seeing the Stingrays around the dock area. The fish were loving the food.. and the pigeons HAHAHAHA!! Divebombers!!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey girls! Happy holidays 😊👋 Hahahahaha yea those pigeons were just following Garbo everywhere coz she was dishing out all the peas 🤣🤣

[@mariaandbryan]

It is always a great thing to end the day at the beach 😊

[@PeterandYen]

It was nice to find that little beach! I think it connects to a much bigger one but the cosy lil one suited us just fine 🥰

[@THEELEON215]

Nice video. You guys very cheerful! Keep it up!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks 😁👍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahahha looks like no cockles for dinner. You guys can try again next time. Maybe it’s over picked this time around? Lol at the waterfall 🤣 You’re still right though, there is still water falling down lol Can’t compare it with Milford Sound of course 😆

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yea maybe ay or we were in the wrong spot dunno 😅 at another beach we go to it's so easy to get them! 😆 Could be the time of year as well though 🤷‍♀️ hahaha yea that waterfall gave us a bit of a laugh 🤣

[@StewartVlogs]

Miss a good kiwi meal! Those views and breathtaking aye

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙beautiful views everywhere, hope you and the family have been well

[@TwoHungryDiners]

What an opening with Thai food and million dollar view 😍 Haha I thought you guys went fishing. Feeding fish sounds cool too! Wow never knew we can feed fish with peas 🤯

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha ikr? Apparently they like it and it's good for them unlike bread which many people tend to use to feed animals but it's so bad for them 😓

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Well, the waterfall was not the one you expected but it seems like a nice walk through the forest!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yep.. gave us a good chuckle though! 🤣

[@healtheworldforabetterplac7574]

I really like that all white shirts!

[@PeterandYen]

Haha thanks! 😂 Somehow we ended up matchy matchy that day 🤣

[@FoodandFootprints]

You really get an unlimited amount of beautiful views in New Zealand!

[@PeterandYen]

Sure do ☺️🇳🇿❤️

[@mariaandbryan]

"They don't know, they are making things up" lol

[@PeterandYen]

Pretty much 😂😂👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yeah the THING happened.. hopefully you guys can travel Thailand next year! We would love to visit Chiang Mai as well.

[@PeterandYen]

Yea that rona really messed things up 🙁 Chiang mai would be so cool to visit ay

[@ptrevino7684]

Hi Peter,Hi Yen , It so good to see you both, Wow , that was a big volcano back in the background, Amazing view This vlog was pretty funny ...lol Thank you guys. That sting Ray was huge. Your so lucky to live so close to Thailand , Good cuisine,Take care...🙏🙏🙏

[@PeterandYen]

Hey P Trevino! 👋 Yea you can see Rangitoto from so many viewpoints around Auckland! That stingray was so cool 😁 we were too slow to capture it on camera many times but at least he made a couple of appearances so we could get a few shots 😁👍 Hope you been well and happy holidays to you and your loved ones 🎄🙂🙌

[@ptrevino7684]

Peter and Yen Thank u Petter& Yen , Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You as well...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@StewartVlogs]

Missing a little bit of home watching your vids!

[@PeterandYen]

Hopefully you can come back again soon! 🤞 merry christmas to you and your fam 🎄🙂

[@TinanaDIY]

I bet that waterfall would look amazing during raining season. Bad luck on the cockles!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yeah gonna have to wait till winter to head back over to our local spot. They close off during summer

[@RudyVisuals]

The park looked great such a shame about the waterfall I bet it looks epic when there's enough rain!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea hahaha was just hoping it would have some flow since it had rained the previous few days but guess it all dried up 😂

[@billyb5057]

starting with some nice food ah feeding fish with peas cool and wow a stingray looks like collecting cockles is harder than I thought a nice walk there on the heritage trail seen better waterfalls though got lovely views there and end up on a beach happy christmas guys *thumbs up👍 like🎅Au🎄always a full view*

[@PeterandYen]

At that particular beach yes! Peter tried for some time but just no luck lol. At another beach we use to go to it's quite an easy task 😅 happy holidays to you Billy! 😁🎄

[@double_074]

Another awesome visual review! Thanx guys 👌 Feels like ive travelled NZ without leaving my couch! 🤣🤣Hope yous have a great xmas! God Bless!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha cheers 007! 😁 Merry Christmas to you and your fam, blessings and happy holidays! 🎄🎄🎉

[@HangryByNature]

Very nice view and the pad thai looks mint! Aaaaw man chiang mai, i think u guys would love it there. We stayed for 1 month and so good. Hopefully next yr you can experience. So awesome seeing the stingray in the water. hahaha that's a let down but looked like lots of fun trying to find them. Technically Peter's not wrong, there is at least some water falling hahah. More awesome views. I don't think we have seen an episode without a magical view LOL you guys so lucky!!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea fingers crossed we can make Chiang Mai happen 🤞🤞 pretty sure we'd enjoy it 🙂👍 hahaha oh my goodness it was literally a wet wall 🤣 We are really lucky with great nature here in NZ though! All these 360 degree panoramic views are excellent 😍 we love how varied the landscapes are too throughout the country 🙂🇳🇿❤️

[@soumyaskitchen8889]

Beautiful video Friend

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you 🙂

[@jordikeoni]

The view atop the hill next to the sheep was gorgeous...clear skies and sunny as well. Just a quick suggestion, maybe since it is the festive season, do an episode of Christmas in Auckland? I'd love to see the decorations and such. In any case, with that being said, wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Looking forward to more of your videos in 2021. Mele Kalikimaka and aloha!

[@PeterandYen]

It's a very NZ view! Blue skies, blue water, green farmland 🥰❤️ Oh funnily that's kinda what we were planning on doing! Unfortunately though some of the usual decorations have been cancelled this year 🙁 Auckland city has never really been a very big Xmas decorations kinda place especially when you compare it to other cities! But this year even less so sadly. We've captured a few already though to add into that end of year video so hope you'll like it when it's out 🙂👍🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones 💓🥰

[@barryeldridge2998]

hi peter and yen , and a good morning to you both . thanks for another great vid ,oh you are so lucky . summer , how i miss that warm sunshine , just waiting for that opportunity to travel again, the park you went to was a bit like mclaren falls in tauranga ,pyes pa area , oh yes i still have fond memories of that visit last year, seems strange to think it was just over one year ago when we met , oh and what a year it has been too, time fly so fast, and that thai meal looked nice too i could almost taste that pad thai haha. once again happy christmas to you both and a happy and safe new year too .. take care yeah and i hope santa is kind to you both too haha

[@PeterandYen]

Hiya Barry! 👋 I hope the McLaren's falls has more water than waterfall gully 😂😂 wow that's true it has been a year since you were in NZ and we had yum char together!! Time really flies. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you too. Hope you're keeping safe and well ❤️❤️ Maybe next year we might get a chance to meet again if travel opens up once more 🤞 Take care Barry 👋🙂

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

Shame the water fall wasn't as great as you imagined but it looked a like a fun day out with that amazing weather!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yea it gave us a good laugh though 😂 We're too use to seeing such awesome waterfalls in NZ so it was kinda funny to see something so sad really 🤣🤣 summer has definitely arrived here! 😁🙌

[@jethrovelez8798]

Fave video 🤙🤙🤙

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁🙌

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

The views from Thai Windows is perfect and better yet when the food is just as good looking. Guys, we just watch a series where a couple went out to pick up cockles. Would love to try that sometime, although not sure that Nabol would eat them. Hahaha We can relate with you when it comes to getting lost. Hahaha We're so jealousy of that beautiful weather by the way. It's dark, cold and rainy over here.

[@PeterandYen]

It's fun gathering cockles but just didn't really have any luck at that bay unfortunately 😆 maybe the weather is too warm now not sure! Yea summertime here in NZ now! Keep warm guys and take care! Merry Christmas you two 🙂👋☃️

[@SeoulMan2020]

What an awesome day... could just chill and watch sting rays for hours. Always trips me out fish frenzy over peas... how do they even know they can eat peas?? So strange they just know even though they’ve never seen peas before.. something to ponder on my Sunday... Nice to see the K1 Peter flashback 🥊😁 Thanks for the fun day!!The waterfa...um, weepingfall was awesome 😂

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha we kept following that one up and down the channel! It would come to the edge then disappear quite suddenly... we never knew you could feed fish peas ay but apparently they really love them 🤣 hahaha that waterfall was such a fail 😅 We've only really seen nice to awesome ones in NZ so that one was just so crack up 🤣🤣 hahaha I still remember that kick boxing day in Bangkok.. poor Peter was so gassed by the end of the session! But he did really well to endure through the Thailand heat too! Btw in case we don't get a chance to say later, merry christmas and happy holidays to you and your wifey! 🎄🤶🎅❤️

[@SeoulMan2020]

@@PeterandYen thank you guys!! Hope you both have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy happy new year! Thanks for all the awesome vids in 2020 and look forward to what you guys have planned for 2021!

[@bearsandbutters]

That's nice you are actually able to get 50 cockles per person here!! Sucks you didn't find any Peter! It gets like that here in California, you hit the summer, and you're not seeing a lot of waterfalls anymore! The little trickle down the waterfall was still nice. The lookout point was really spectacular. What was that group of people marching around in camouflage? So random!! Great way to end the day by hitting up the beach. Thanks for taking us with you and fun adventure!! Love you guys to the mother effin' moon! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!! :) 💖🦌🎄❄

[@emilymaclaurin2699]

That area is an army base and is used for training :) hence all the people in camo

[@bearsandbutters]

@@emilymaclaurin2699 HAHA that explains it!! :D

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha the waterfall gave us a good chuckle 🤣 thanks for helping to answer Emily! There's a beach that's much closer to us called cockle bay and a few months ago it was sooo easy to gather lots of cockles but yea just no luck at that bay unfortunately! Still a great place and day though 🙂✨👍

[@Abam_Gabz]

Good day. Day Trip for today, let's check it out! Anyhow, nice scenery right over there

[@PeterandYen]

What a nice view from the window 😊 Thai foods so good, I always leave these videos with so many food cravings haha! So cool how you can see the stingrays. When is a good time to get cockles at that beach? Haha aww the waterfall, still looks like a nice walk though.

[@PeterandYen]

No idea for that beach but for Cockle Bay winter seemed to have tons! When we went in June it was so easy to collect them up 😅 that waterfall was so sad 🤣🤣 but yea great views at that lookout! 🙂👍💙

[@mariaandbryan]

Water coming down this little thing hahahah I hear you, some days things just don't go as expected lol

[@PeterandYen]

No they don't hahaha but you gotta see the good or funny in these kinda situations huh 🤣👍

[@nickandhelmi]

Catching cockles, im soooo jealous 😭 eventhough peter didnt catch any 😆

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha definitely unlucky with this beach! There's another one called "cockle bay" that's pretty close to us and that one it was so easy to get heaps!! 😯

[@FoodandFootprints]

Watertrickle! 😂😂 Not the best luck but still a fun day

[@PeterandYen]

Pretty much a wet wall 🤣

[@bengmelea8646]

Yeah I guess that predator fence across the peninsula keeps critters from swimming across to Tiritiri Matangi Island sanctuary. I saw my first wild Takahe and Tuatara there but there are a lot more endangered and rare birds so well worth the boat trip across.

[@PeterandYen]

Wow! Neither of us have ever seen a tuatara out in the wild, that would've been so amazing 😍 such cool creatures. Takahe look pretty cute and a lil like pukeko ay? It's pretty cool that kiwis are officially no longer endangered!

[@marklongley5738]

I was in the navy and we use to go up to the Army base right at the end of the peninsular to do live weapons firing.

You guys have to work for your cockles! :P They're so cute!! Good luck Peter trying to find a decent size cockles haha!! Protect the Kiwis💓!! Too bad there's not much water at the waterfall, but can't compare to Milford sound lol!! OMG the sheepies!!!! Too cute!!! Good call Yen, no rolly pollie for Peter haha!!

Hahaha thought you might like all the lambs and sheep Sue! 🐑🐑 They were all over the place! 😁🐑🐑🐑

[@TheMaxwellee]

pretty random stuff this time, choice! Thanks guys :D Have you done the Waitomo Caves? I have always wanted to go.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yea a very chilled out roll with it kinda day 🤣👍 we have indeed both done Waitomo caves! Unfortunately a long time ago before we were vlogging though. Plus coz they're caves and dark we can't really make videos easily from inside. We did do a Waitomo video recently though.. there's a place called Mangapohue Natural Bridge that we visited in it and you can also see glow worms there as night apparently. Plus that place is free 👍 Many of the Waitomo caves and activities are paid attractions and there was one we asked if we could take our camera along with us to vlog but they wanted to charge us $10,000 to do that.. I kid you not 😅😅😅 hope you get to go to the caves though, they're pretty awesome 🙂👍

[@mariaandbryan]

5 minutes away seems so short, but I know I will have to hear Lieles complaint after minute 1 lol

Is it because summer that's why the waterfall is dry?😂

Just not enough rain apparently! 😅😅

Oh we have no idea about the 4 words thing hahaha 😆 we appreciate any support honestly and think it's just awesome anyone watches and enjoys our videos so big thank you!! 🥰🙌 And thanks! With some of the more difficult te reo names we try to find videos on how to pronounce them coz we grew up hearing them very incorrectly and had to unlearn them! 😅 Even whangaparaoa I think I replayed a video teaching how to say that correctly like 10 times and practiced saying it like triple that til it felt natural hahaha 😆 grew up saying that one like whangapaROA (instead of the end bit of "raoa") which is quite different! 🙂
