Frozen Waterfalls at Tongariro National Park | New Zealand

[@melaniedickinson3476]

Thanks for all the amazing places you take us to and the effort you go to do it! Much appreciated ❤

[@PeterandYen]

No worries Melanie thank you for watching and we're glad your enjoying the videos. These last two videos were the hardest to film yet, but to capture these memories makes it absolutely worth it ❤

[@berttroubleyn3475]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! Clear skies, lots of sunshine, snow and freezing weather: I get so happy watching this. And the view on Mt Ruapehu is just amazing!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha these were perfect weather conditions for you Bert. The views on this one... still think back on it and can't believe that was real felt like a dream 😅 so magical ✨

[@debbieoconnor7054]

Another fantastic video from you both. Hope we get to visit that area sometime. Thanks for sharing with us. Debbie & Patrick

[@PeterandYen]

No worries thank you for watching and dropping us a comment, have an awesome weekend 😁🤙

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

Frozen waterfalls looked absolutely stunning. I bet that was worth the hike!

[@PeterandYen]

💯 worth the effort the walk was breathtaking 👏

[@JJINBAKING]

Oh my god, it’s so amazing. How insanely beautiful it is!🏔 I would like to visit to New Zealand again after Covid. I really love Mother Nature, lakes, waterfalls, and mountains of NZ.💜 Thank you for sharing it.

[@PeterandYen]

No worries thank you for watching the video and dropping us a comment. New Zealand has an abundance of beautiful scenery 😊✌

[@SeoulMan2020]

"It's like eating meat butter." Quote of the month. Had to play that back twice. What a perfect way to end a cold hike:) Big props to both of you guys for not only hiking up on the icy trail (and down it - down is worse in my opinion), but for enduring the wind!!! Man, conditions like that definitely add significant time to your hike so big ups to you guys for not turning back!!! Glad you guys got clear weather and a big thank you for sharing such amazing views!! Safe travels!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 sometimes I dunno what I'm saying but it turned out alright in this case 😂 thanks for the props! This one was really tough we came across some more seasoned walkers on our way back and they looked surprised to see us on the track 👣 I think it's cause we look like city dwellers 😂 going back in this case was a lil easier cause we got used finding paths with the show rather than the slippery ice. Do you have sights like this in Korea?

[@SeoulMan2020]

​@@PeterandYen Glad you guys were able to make it to the viewpoint safely 😊. That wind look frigid!!! Korea is so tiny so definitely doesn't have the grand views like NZ, but being 70% or so moutainous, there definitely are some beautiful places. There are also 3000+ islands, which if you can handle the boat ride, some awesome scenery to be found. When/if you guys ever come to Korea, I recommend Seoraksan National Park...especially in the fall. Very beautiful place (and as a bonus, one of the largest limestone caves in Asia isn't too far away - pretty awesome place). Stay safe guys and happy travels!

[@PeterandYen]

😯 ooooo the national park and the cave sounds right up our alley. Didn't realise there were so many islands too. Yen has always really wanted to visit Korea 🇰🇷 and lately after watching so many k dramas its only amplified that desire 😂 take care too mate

[@darylmckay]

@@SeoulMan2020 my wife and I loved our time in South Korea and it truly is stunning. It's hard to believe that Japan and China are major tourist destinations, but the ROK gets passed over too often!

[@SeoulMan2020]

@@darylmckay I’m glad you and your wife got a chance to visit Korea🇰🇷. There are definitely some beautiful places to visit! Hopefully you and your wife get a chance to visit Korea again☺️.

[@matthewlarkin2630]

So pretty, thanks for going to all that effort for us, looks magical. Stuck in lockdown here in Melbourne atm, so thanks for the reminder of how pretty the world out there is.

[@PeterandYen]

No worries Matthew 👍 had an amazing time putting this together and personally it's nice to have this video for memories. Stay safe over there in Aus 🤞 it's better again soon

[@nickandhelmi]

Oh my gosh it's really beautiful!!😍 worth the slippery hike & freezing cold weather❄

[@PeterandYen]

Totally worth it one of the most amazing sights we've ever seen

[@NorjahanAKarim]

Hi Peter & Yen! Yet another wonderful video. Frozen waterfall just look amazing. Thank you so much for showing us snow video. I really enjoyed it. 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Hello hello 😁👋thank you for watching the video we are glad you enjoyed it. The view was one of the best we've seen too 😍

[@conradf2747]

Why am I watching this as a Canadian in endless summer heat? Just kidding. Great video. Hard to imagine so much snow and ice on the north island. Glad Peter didn’t bring his jandals.

[@PeterandYen]

😂 jandals definitely not suited for this. Do you have lots of scenery like this in Canada?

[@conradf2747]

@@PeterandYen yes and no. New Zealand is unique. The snow I grew up with so I’ve seen frozen water falls, but volcanos rare and snow-covered ferns are only on the west coast. That was cool for me.

[@alexbrixton]

Hey guys, I've watched a few of your videos now. All are awesome! I like the pace of the videos, the information you give, clear speaking voices, the smiles, the scenery and the food! haha I'm from NZ and it's always cool learning about new areas and places I've never been to (let alone the places I never knew existed) and all the neat discoveries in your vids. Well done and keep up the great work!

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Alex appreciate the kind words 😁🤙 after so many years living in New Zealand and traveling around its great to still be able to be blown away by new experiences in our home country. This was def one of those days 👍

[@RudyVisuals]

The walk to the waterfall is absolutely stunning! Wintery landscapes have always been my favorite 😍 and the waterfall at the end was beautiful with the water going down the icicles

[@PeterandYen]

👍 one of the biggest wow moments we've had walking through this trek.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Handmade noodles are so perfect after that freezing cold adventure! Can’t get better than that 🤤

[@PeterandYen]

💯🤤 the good stuff

[@raywayski]

I noticed that at the beginning of the vlog, Peter had gloves on but Yen did not! I’m impressed! Great scenery….and the noodles you guys had looked amazing…especially on a cold day! Yummy!

[@PeterandYen]

😁👋 yo ray hope you've been well. Yen's got some fingerless gloves on too hahaha. Must have been the camera angle. I find that carrying the tripod during cold days like this too much for the ol fingers 😅

[@raywayski]

@@PeterandYen Oops! I’m bad! I did notice Yen’s fingerless gloves after seeing the beginning of your Vlog again. She was very sneaky as later on in your vlog, Yen was wearing regular gloves which prompted my comment (as normally, you are the one who does not get cold)! 🤣🤣🤣

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha didn't know what to expect at mt ruapehu. Better dress to the occasion than to be freezing 🥶 my butt off 😂

[@PeterandYen]

O and btw her gloves are the same whole way through the day 🙂 it probably just shows more when she isn't hiding her hands inside her sleeves as much 😆

[@actorrai4322]

That view was amazing on both the waterfalls. Jealous. We couldn't see any ice when we were there last week but we still enjoyed a lot.

[@PeterandYen]

😯 o wow really? We were only there a few weeks ago too. Would have thought the ice would have been there all winter

[@rexbrown2988]

You Have Braved The Elements and we love it ~ Cheers ~

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙 thanks Rex, so glad we did one of the most memorable experiences seeing those waterfalls

[@RudyVisuals]

Yum! a hot bowl of noodles is always amazing after being out in the cold for so long

[@PeterandYen]

😁 💯 True

[@FoodandFootprints]

Wow that ice waterfall is crazy!

[@PeterandYen]

Insane right! Couldn't believe it when we saw it either

[@momeverydaylife4536]

Seriously guy I love your videos normally people just show video without description we need more video like this around new Zealand .great job

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the videos, this one was a lot of fun to put together

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

guys! we can't get used to see you with the jacket and all snowy landscapes!! 😅😅 what a nice trip! careful with those slippery stairs!! oh yes, some warm noodles bowl is perfect for that kind of weather! 🍜

[@PeterandYen]

😅 would have loved to stay in warm countries but then again the snow ❄ and ice 🧊 are really beautiful 😍

[@nikkilogan7726]

Awesome Intro Awesome music... ✌️😎 ANOTHER AWESOME PLACE 😍🥰🏔️🌬️ Never expected Tongariro to be so breathtaking despite the cold weather, Yen managed to be courageous (salute you) 😎 One of my fave vlogs of you guys. As always, love you guys P&Y ✌️🥰

[@PeterandYen]

Hey Nikki hope you had an awesome week. Tongariro has some really spectacular gems 💎 tongariro crossing in summer and then finding this waterfall during this trip was just icing on the cake 🎂 soooo amazing what a memory 😍

[@Becca.Loveless]

Beautiful videography, beautiful scenery, and beautiful people :) Love your channel! Y’all cover so many amazing places in NZ.

[@PeterandYen]

Aw thanks Becca appreciate the kind words ❤ thanks for dropping by and leaving us that comment

[@TinanaDIY]

I bet that walk in the wind and cold was worth it! what an amazing veiw!

[@PeterandYen]

💯 worth it one of the most epic sights we've seen

[@FoodandFootprints]

Beautiful views with the mountain in the background

[@PeterandYen]

It was an epic hike, still think about it from time to time might have been the best one yet

[@m_anne7860]

Stunning! Totally enjoyed the view throughout the walk up until the falls. Thanks for the tour 😄

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was such an incredible sight and worth the effort 😁

[@jessicat4934]

Meat butter - i like that! Lol. Mother nature sure is a force to be wreckoned with, beautiful. Awesome vid guys, as always.

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Jessica 😁🤙this has got to be one of our favorite days ever for the great food and epic views. Hard to top

[@leopardsgowild]

Those falls are so cool... The must be so much of that water freezing before the falls...

[@PeterandYen]

🤔 that's what we were figuring out too... must have been a ridiculous amount of flowing water to keep from freezing entirely

[@thisisgenofeve]

So pretty!! I love how you both gave each other props for doing well through the trek. How crazy is that waterfall! I agree it looks out of this world

[@PeterandYen]

One of the best natural sights we've seen it was just amazing. Hahaha yeah had to give each other some props for this one the conditions were tough. Only saw two groups one turned back cause it was too difficult and the other were really rugged looking fellas 😂

[@teeayy66]

Hi guys, new to watching you and loved this adventure. Now i want to go there in the next few weeks ! hopefully the snow is still there!.

[@PeterandYen]

Hello 👋 glad you enjoyed the video, the snow should be there till early September at least.

[@stevee7556]

WOW awesome walks to those frozen waterfalls. You might have to invest in some walking poles for your next snowy adventure. That wind was so loud it sounded like an avalanche when you were filming Ruapehu. NZ never disappoints scenery wise.

[@PeterandYen]

😅 we will be able to get some poles for yen unfortunately for me I need to carry our camera gear too so need to be extra careful not to slip over and break everything.

[@robhaunui3343]

You guys should try do a series of food vlogs of NZ,as you stop off at some of the best places on your travels,and Shanxi in Hamilton is always a great stop (I'm biased being an ex Hamilton hoon)

[@PeterandYen]

😁 we used to focus just on food but decided that we enjoyed making travel vlogs where we do both more. sometimes we might only eat 1 huge meal a day especially while traveling.

[@donbrashsux]

That’s amazingly beautiful..the waterfall looks incredible ..and only 4hrs away from Auckland ..Great job guys

[@PeterandYen]

It was such a crazy sight to see. Think it's taking the spot of the best waterfall we've seen so far.

[@EverydayEnglishTipswithAmit]

I am getting inspired to travel after this video 🛣✔️😍👏 love you guys from India 🇮🇳

[@rlim9947]

Such a majestic view of the waterfalls, excellent video guys. The hot pork belly noodle soup is definitely a great way to follow on from the icy cold mountain trip.

[@PeterandYen]

What a sight to see those waterfalls and snowy streams, just magic

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Hope not, getting lost in the cold would not be fun. It does look magical, though walking with all that ice can be challenging indeed. But we can see that the views are worth it. Love the waterfall. A bowl of thick noodles and pork sounds super good right about now. Yum!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea it was such an awesome sight for us to see! Hope we'll get to come across more frozen falls next time (that are easier to get to hahaha) 👍👍

Thanks Joseph appreciate it 👍

[@mariaandbryan]

It looks so beautiful. We love seeing the snow as well. Majestic is correct Yen, wow!! We are speechless now. Go Yen being a pro! That is the perfect dish after a cold day. Intestines are delish! Well, Lieles might have a different thought, but I love it, yes meat botter, that is the texture. Never eaten a bun like that, but it looks perfect like I wanna sleep with it 😂😂 Totally understand why that is one of your stops on the way back to Auckland.

[@PeterandYen]

🇳🇿🏆 was such a perfect day 😍 eyes were feasting stomach was feasting soul was full. 😂 sorry listening to drake and replying may read this back and think this reply was super cheesy 🧀 😂

Stunning walk! Love how there’s snow everywhere! Looks so wintery ❄️ Yes Frozen vibes 🙌🏼 Wow what a walk! Seems like there’s views in every corner. Yay! Go Yen! It did look quite slippery. It’s crazy how you don’t have to drive far out of Auckland and you’re in another world like this. I’m secretly glad Auckland isn’t that cold though 😅😂. Yummy! You guys always know where to eat 😋 Looks like the perfect meal for that cold windy day. I’m craving soupy noodles now 😅

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha though we loved this experience... I'm also glad that Auckland isn't this cold all the time 😂😂 would have to move if it was. Was a perfect day with the sights and polishing it all off with the noodles 🍜 so glad neither of us slipped too 😅

[@LanaTiare]

@@PeterandYen Yes true! Nice to come back to warm Auckland ☺️ Glad you didn’t slip too! At least you were wearing some good shoes

[@zhangxin1814]

Nice couple,Pretty wife!! I like your beautiful smile and the ways u guys described!! I just come back from there 2 weeks ago but didn't have time to discovered the park, we only walked in about 30mins but in another way, wasn't really beautiful like your track , Then we had to turned back as we don't had enough time But I will do it next time, thx for showing this Like both of u!

[@ouradventerousdays]

The waterfalls are indeed spectacular ans just like Peter said there's no other comforting food after a cold hike is a hot bowl of soup l noodles. I will go foe Yen bowl hehehehe and I love stinky tofu, only had it when we were in Taiwan and HK. P.S why didn't u guys wear a beanie and pack a thermos? Warm drink after a hike is a must lol

[@PeterandYen]

🤔 hmmm that's a great idea packing a warm drink in a thermos. Tbh after wearing so many layers we were pretty snug 😅 especially while doing so much walking. Nothing quite like noodles though after a day like this. Feel so nourished. 😂👍 nice we also enjoyed stinky tofu in Taiwan 🇹🇼 randomly stumbled on a store with a Michellen award that specialized in stinky tofu.

[@ouradventerousdays]

@@PeterandYen I always love a hot or warm water especially tea after a cold day outing. We always bring a thermos with us whenever we went out 😅. I had the stinky tofu at Taiwan night market. Now that we're talking about it I'm drooling. We do have a place selling it here in Sydney but I haven't try. Cannot go anywhere now because we are in lockdown.

[@PeterandYen]

Ahhh yes same with us, the night markets in Taiwan 😍 so much to eat so little stomach space hahaha. 🤞 that lockdown lifts soon and Australia gets the cases back in order.

[@ouradventerousdays]

@@PeterandYen the current situation Sydney is in right now is not looking good. We might not get out of this lockdown til like September. I have been viewing my old pics of NZ and miss it badly. Asia has so much to offer in term of street food. Yup, if only our tummy is bigger than our eyes lol

[@PeterandYen]

🤞 hopefully it'll be ok, just let the hot heads get the protesting out of their systems and then calm down, lockdown and beat the spreading for a few weeks

[@akkarparkiamopas3401]

Thanks for nice video How is the road condition? very icy slippery ?

[@PeterandYen]

Best advice is check the road condition report everyday cause the weather changes constantly. We were lucky on both of our days thankfully it was pretty good just a lil slippery in shady parts during the early morning.

[@raycrou8837]

If this is North Island winter wonderland, what's South Island like?
