We are going to learn alot about New Zealand by watching your beautiful videos. Your van footage is so great. Love the sheep and cow herding. Lol. Thanks for the cool video.

[@TasmanTravels]

Pretty impressed by the rubbish bins(and liners) in all the laybyes you stopped in.Well done council.

[@TasmanTravels]

For sure, we loved this drive !

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

haha, I 'm starting to wonder if those sheep are just there for the tourists! We had a sheep jam in probably the same spot!

[@TasmanTravels]

Haha that’s funny, only in New Zealand hey!!

[@Scottygirlnz]

We did the Forgotten World Highway last year but right now, as I type this, we are at the Piriaka NZMCA camp that you just showed in your video! No dogs roaming here though (thank goodness) and the road noise is not too bad. When we were in Whangamomona we stayed at the local campsite and the hotel was open. What a shame you missed out on going inside!

[@TasmanTravels]

Oh wow, what a coincidence! I know, We will have to go back and do it again haha!!

Another awesome video love that drive used to go to Wangamomona alot back in the 70,s but did the drive also in out 8mtr housebus 5years ago stayed at the campsites you did also when at the DOC Camp was lots of kayakers staying & kayaking the Wanganui river Thanks for the journeys as no longer travel live in my bus seeing back country NZ 😊

[@TasmanTravels]

Thanks very much, I bet it was tight with your bus! Definitely some scary parts to the road, but we really loved the drive! 💖

Hi there! I see the video was posted in November ish but the trees are yellow so if must of been much closer to winter when you were there? The Whangamomona town ship and even Tangaraku camp is pretty much closed in winter. We don’t get tourists. Maybe you could come back in summer and we could make your trip more memorable!

[@TasmanTravels]

Thanks for the info! Yes it was winter but we still loved it! We will have to come back in summer for sure when things are more open!! 😀😀

[@narrowboatpuravida]

Your videos always make me so nostalgic for NZ. Love this one, the mountain scenery is still gorgeous and your drone shots are very impressive. Made me laugh you went to Stratford, the UK one was our last town stop on our narrowboat and I didn't even know there was a NZ version! Thanks for such a great video ❤

[@TasmanTravels]

Yes it is named after the one in England lol! So glad you enjoy the videos as we do put a lot of work into them all!
