In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.c...
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

You have some serious guts, riding that road. OK, at least you aren't in a car... It is not just one of the scariest, it is still ranked the scariest and most dangerous in New Zealand. In fact, rental companies used to forbid you from driving on it and most insurances didn't cover your vehicle on Skippers Road. It was built for the gold rush and it's crazy to imagine all the wagons coming in and out of there with gold a way back then. There is a video on my channel of Queenstown and Wakatipu region from 1954 (a tourist promotion video) and they show Skippers and discuss it a little. If you are in NZ for much longer and have the chance... I recommend Dansey's Pass (make sure to stop in at St Bathans too) and the Hakataramea roads.

[@davidrowe8486]

Great drone work Kinga. And what a road! I am jealous. Keep safe.

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@timlubbers2884]

Those droppings were from very young Bigfoot, not very dangerous at that age … 😅😅😅

[@billcotton1551]

Epic drone footage on this one ,Kinga!

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@dloui5214]

the real biker touring , not a spoil one . sleeping in a tent , cook her own meal , blend in with the nature . keep them coming , stay safe and healthy .

[@onherbike]

Thank you 🙌

[@russy8488]

Thanks for this vid absolutely epic!!

[@scotthektner1439]

Beautiful wish I was there riding...

[@motorheadforlife9431]

The creature that was breathing heavily outside your tent must've been a juvenile taniwha.

[@walkerhjk]

Yeah Right! Taniwha - water spirit, monster, dangerous water ceature. chief, powerful leader, something or someone awesome. Taniwha take many forms from logs to reptiles and whales and often live in lakes, rivers or the sea . They are often regarded as guardians by the people who live in their territory but may also have a malign influence on human beings. (Te Aka Maori dictionalry)

[@becky4393]

Awesome ride, thanks for sharing 😊

[@Liam1304]

Heh. A mate and I rode our 360 road bikes through Skippers 45 years ago. At 80MPH. In the dark. This should prove that there is a God who preserves undeserving fools....

[@philiproyffe8022]

Marmite and peanut butter, together, is just wrong, on so many level 😂

[@ragbag46]

Love it, with a sprinkling of ground black pepper. Maybe with a slice of cucumber on top if I have some.

[@rubricen]

Like Ketchup on icecream. Maybe fish and hermetic peaches. Perhaps steak and Shortcake? Jummy.

[@ragbag46]

Thank goodness we all have different tastes and can explore each other’s preferences, and of course many chefs would have a rather boring life if they didn’t take advantage of this.

[@onherbike]

I'll try that!

[@onherbike]

Go on, you know you want it😁

[@traveling...mohammedalreth9632]

انتي رائعه جدا استمري إلى الامام 🌹

[@kiwiadventurer]

BS, what's dangerous about it. I drove my panel van and did a bungy jump off the bridge. You're just sensationalising for more views.

[@GaryBurrellsGazzab]

So happy to see Skippers Canyon road from a Bikers point of view, last on that road was white water rafting down the shotover river ! The most exciting part was the minibus ride to get there, driven by a barefooted newzealander and towing a trailer what a road, well done and I like marmite with peanut butter also 👌

[@doraemon-ml7og]

Good Morning. yesterday i see you meet runa , off she goes. i like many adventure video. wonderfull woman. strong woman. beauty woman thanks many nice video. this moment wonderfull Bra paradise . lol.

[@frankpinion4937]

too bad if you have 2 car's opposing each other-that wouldn't be fun having to back up on that winding road with steep drop off's-just as well you on a motorbike. I've done the skippers road by tourist bus but never on my motorbike. You beat me to it. Might have to wait till the summer school holiday's when I'm off. It was certainly on my bucket list.

[@dazfromnz01]

The deep breathing at night was probably that bloke the police were looking for, apparently he was hiding in skipper’s canyon.😊😊

[@zweispurmopped]

A crazy beautiful landscape! 🤩 And that panting noise and the poop may have been a beast as exotic as: A sheep! 🤗🤭

[@kiwiingenuity1677]

Sheep do lots of little round black poo.

[@zweispurmopped]

@@kiwiingenuity1677 Sheep with diarrhoea too? 🤔

[@brucegerken1063]

Great video thank you very well done as always thanks for taking us along cheers to ya.

[@-W8WHAT]

Kiore is the NZ mouse, the sniffing was a Hare (seen one as big as a dog once!) and the screeching was a Possum! My fav is marmite and a fresh leaf of crisp juicy cabbage, "Heaven" 🤠

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

I agree with my fellow Kiwi here except for the last sentence. Vegemite on toasted Vogel's, that's my answer to "if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life".

[@onherbike]

Yes! That had to be possum!

[@Lagunapl1]

Kinguś ja bym się obesrał po pachy jak miał bym tam spac sam w namiocie !!!!! TY WARJATKO!!!!

[@martinkavanagh196]

Hedgehogs can be very noisy at night SNUFFLING about sniffing for juicy tidbits like slugs & snails and any crumbs from peanut butter and marmite rolls. The Skippers Canyon Road is not so bad at all in good weather, as long as you go with the flow - Down in the morning and up & out in the arfo. - Luckily you didn't meet any of the ravenous Otago Dredge Toe-Nail Vampire Bats that are a small flying ratlike that creeps into your sleep area on moonlit nights and devours lonely tourists starting from the toes upwards ..

[@dennishardy4402]

Nothing very dangerous about this road unless you do something stupid. Its a fantastic ride and well worth doing. I have done it to the end and camped out on a road bike twice. Most dangerous part is the traffic on a very narrow in places gravel road. My advice is leave after the tourist buses are finished for the day and get back out in the morning before it starts again.

[@stefans.3940]

The Trees, are they dead?

[@mofm1639]

They're a pine tree, an introduced species. Pine trees love new zealand they seed everywhere and take over from the native trees. They have been sprayed to stop them

[@stefans.3940]

Great one Kinga, looking for a pair ? 😉🤔👌🏼💪🏼👍🏼👊🏼🤩

[@ernesthood2647]

Why so many dead trees there ?

[@muzzab32]

Awesome..I bungy jumped off the Skippers bridge back in about 1987, it was the highest bungy in NZ at the time.

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Beautiful landscape. Thanks for taking us there. You have to be fearless on those narrow tracks with oncoming cars along the narrow ridge. Happy rides, Günter/Nürnberg

[@onherbike]

I'm glad you enjoyed it😊

[@abusamah-7850]

💪👍

[@johnmckenzie1269]

Sounds like a possum.

[@YiddoHuayi]

Yep, possums are heavy breathers! They would try to get at our food when we were fly camping.

[@pauljoyquilter359]

The noises in the night might have been a possum.

[@user-bluemountainre]

Did you know the Shotover river that run's thru the Skippers Canyon was till recently was the richest gold bearing river in the world, so there were hundreds of miners working in there. Really enjoying your videos. .

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@zubairrajpar1175]

Beautyfull views😂😂❤

[@Abid-hanif]

You got new subscriber

[@AreWeThereYet24]

Hi Kinga. Hope you are well. Your sound while wearing your helmet is very bad. Many times we don't hear a word you say. Is that something you can fix? Just asking. Enjoy your NZ trip 😂😂

[@markneville8069]

The heavy breather is a hedgehog. They're about the size of a bowling ball

[@markneville8069]

An indoor bowls bowling ball not ten pin

[@d.s.8918]

wow, Skippers Canyon - I had been there in 1991 and did my first Bungy Jump - At these days one of the highest in the world - 74m freefall into the Canyon (in Winter time) with A.J. Hacket

It looks like deer poop to me.

Hey kinga, just want to say what a great channel your KZbin is. I must admit I've only just started watching this week after seeing you on "off she goes" I've binged all the New Zealand eps now though and can't wait for the next. I love your sense of humour and your love for the road and adventure. Well anyway you stay safe keep up the great work and all the best for the future, I look forward to the next ep. Until then I will watch some of your older adventures. ✊🏻

It is utterly molested by man. That township and the whole valley, the road, the bridge... was the site of New Zealand's biggest goldrush. Before that, it would have been even more pristine.
