Incredible Ngarua Caves + Sunny Nelson | South Island New Zealand Road Trip Vlog 4/4

[@paulcalkin7960]

Just wanted to say thank you for what you give to the world

[@PeterandYen]

That's very kind praise that we don't deserve but thank you Paul 🙂💕

[@jessicat4934]

Another great series guys! What a gem that airbnb was too. Love the content you make always.

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Jessica really appreciate your support over the years ❤ 😁👍

[@jessicat4934]

@@PeterandYen it is my pleasure honestly. Ur vids has made me want to see NZ heaps more.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That cave looks indeed incredible!! Glad you guys had permission to film it in the cave to show us. It's so fascinating to see all the limestone cave formations. Another great find of the airbnb guys!! It looks super cosy and warm. 2-storey airbnb is a rare find for 2 people. Our most favourite highlight from this vlog of course is the peanut butter factory tour. We absolutely love Pic's peanut butter! Always buy it from the supermarket when it's on special. So delicious!! One day we need to visit the factory too 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yes pics peanut butter is so yummy. We were really happy to find that some of the products were 50% off straight from the factory 🏭 😁 so loaded up

[@RaceCarFriends]

Lol I can tell that Peter really liked that Air BNB, and those caves were magical!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yeah! I really liked that cob airbnb. N yes the caves were awesome unreal what nature can create over many many years

[@RaceCarFriends]

@@PeterandYen Lol yeah man that airbnb was really unique. I'm already looking forward to your next upload, it would be cool to see if you can find any Caribbean restaurants on the North Island like maybe a Trinidadian restaurant.

[@PeterandYen]

That's an awesome suggestion! Ok challenge accepted we will do our best to find that here in Auckland 👌

[@RaceCarFriends]

@@PeterandYen Awesome can't wait to see if you actually find one!

[@PeterandYen]

g.co/kgs/GLcQYA this was the closest we could find to a Caribbean restaurant in Auckland. It was a mission... 😅 does anything on that menu yelling "eat me" to you?

[@SeoulMan2020]

Happy Sunday morning☀️😁! Haha seeing Peter so excited about sand, straw and mud was awesome😁😁😁. Glad you guys got to stay at a cob 🏠. Always cool when you get to do something on your hope to do someday list. Gotta say, from this vlog Pic’s got me about as excited as Peter and cob. Love me some peanut butter - or any nut butter (just ate a scoop before bed last night). No idea why but it’s really difficult to find peanut butter in Korea made from just peanuts/salt. Pic’s was a very very cool surprise. As always, awesome vlog and safe travels!

[@PeterandYen]

Hmmmm interesting 🤔 Korea 🇰🇷 might be a good market for pics to expand to 😁 I really like nut butters too almond and peanut 🥜 both excellent. Recently been going hard on the whittikas version hahahaha. Do you have anything on your gotta do someday list? Curious to hear your top 3 if you have one 😁

[@SeoulMan2020]

​@@PeterandYen There is this almond coconut butter I've been eating lately... oh man...so good. I had no idea Whittaker's made peanut butter...and with chocolate??? Whaaaaa!!!?? It's pretty easy to find the processed junky peanut butter in Korea, but I guess there isn't much of a demand for "real" Pics-ish peanut butter. As far as my gotta do someday list, I wouldn't say it's a rigid list.. The only definitive I would say is one day I would like to visit North Korea. I know I'll never be able to see it freely, but I heard if I do the Pyongyang Marathon, at least I'll have a few "unsupervised" hours to run the streets of Pyongyang. Diving with whale sharks was on it, but I read it's become so commercial it's having a negative impact on the sharks. Wife wants to swim with the jellyfish in Palau and see the Northern Lights (booked the whole glass igloo a couple years ago, but had to cancel). The one thing on my list that's open ended is I want to try all the foods from around the world I tried in the US in their home countries. How about you guys? You guys mentioned Chaing Mai and Italy as places you want to go, but as a far as just top 3 gotta do someday list? Whoa this reply got long...:0

[@PeterandYen]

😂 I love the top 3 things question cause it always leads to some really interesting replies. North Korea and swimming with whale sharks n jellyfish all sounds so interesting. Yen also really wants to see the northern lights and I had whale shark diving on it to do list for when we were going to visit Philippines last year. But as of late my top 3 would have to be seeing the classical ruins in Europe which encompasses a lot of stuff I know 😅 but up there would be significant sites from the Roman empire, Alexander the greats empire and sitting down and drawing in locations like monet's garden. But yes totally also up there is going to Chiang Mai 😂 .... that's more than 3 things already but honestly I need a top 100 😂

[@SeoulMan2020]

@@PeterandYen haha definitely need a top 100... wife wants to do Europe because of the art history so I'm sure it's in our post-covid future. Sounds like you guys have an interesting few travels years all ready to go...now only if this little virus hiccup would sort itself out...

[@PeterandYen]

🤞 almost there 😅 yeah totally guessing 10 to 15 years at least hahaha

[@PutoGastro]

Wow, guys that restaurant is so freaking beautiful inside. And eating outside is so cool, we love it, even in colder weather. Hope Yen wasn't too cold. That texture is insane no? Peter is truly enjoying the walls, and we don't blame you at all! What a beautiful room! Truly beautiful. Yes Yen, this is the first time we see Peter this excited for an Airbnb. It is reflected Peter, you do a phenomenal job finding great Airbnb's Peanut butter! Cool tour around the factory

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yeah I was probably overly excited for that accommodation but I really really really wanted to stay at a Cob house. It's like how I really really wanna stay at a cave house in Cappadocia 😍 one day! It's all about the textures 😂

[@estebanvelez5606]

I hope that you go back to south island. All the vlogs were amazing. New Zealand is a wonder.

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you 😁👋 we're going back again soon so more south island content on its way soon

[@RudyVisuals]

You're completely right that Airbnb looks so British! We love historical or themed Airbnb, they're always so much more fun to stay at

[@PeterandYen]

I have never seen Peter more excited about an Airbnb in NZ hahaha 😆

[@RudyVisuals]

The ngarua caves are so beautiful 😍 We always love visiting caves and mines it always feels like a completely different world down there

[@PeterandYen]

Really does ay! Such fascinating places that you just don't come across every day 🙂

[@lmcanje]

Another great video. The caves were amazing. We look forward to visiting NZ and seeing some of of these great places in person.

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it thanks Anthony 🙂 Best of luck coming to NZ to visit 🍀 There's so many incredible places to see!

[@darylmckay]

Cool trip guys. Looking forward to your next trip to the South Island 👍😁

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks mate! Next south island trip coming soon 😁 we're currently at Mt ruapehu enjoying the cold 🥶 😂

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen brrrrr, very brave 👏🥶🥶. I hope you're near a sauna 😉

[@PeterandYen]

😂 it was well worth it saw some amazing things just got back last night gonna start work on the vlogs today 👍

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen sounds like another awesome vlog is coming our way (once it defrosts) 👍😃

[@RudyVisuals]

The peanut butter factory tour was super cool to see! Peanut butter is our breakfast staple, it's both delicious and healthy 😄

[@PeterandYen]

You'd definitely love Pic's in that case! It's such pure delicious goodness and the factory tour is awesome 👍 The smell that hits you when you step in.. 🤤🤤🤤

[@berttroubleyn3475]

Your winter is looking like our summer for the moment: the summer holidays have just begun and the weather forecast for the coming 10 days is rain, rain, rain and just under 20 degreeds Celsius. I couldn't be happier, but my husband is getting grumpier by the day ;) I like the vibe that Nelson seems to have. Looks like a large-ish city but without all the hustle and bustle you'd associate with that. The view from the view point was beautiful!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 Bert we were just at ruapehu and thought you'd really enjoy it. Ice and snow everywhere but it was sunny 🌞 perfect Bert weather 👌 Nelson is really nice I think you'll find outside of Auckland most of the cities are large enough to feel like a city but feel a lot more relaxed than big cities. A lot of them don't have motorways.

[@intrepidadventurer1932]

Gosh a misty day at the start there! Wow those caves are super cool! Will have to keep a watch out for those whenever I am in that part of the country! The cathedral at 8:27 was so cool! Yeah great old building where your stayed! That Peanut butter factory was crazy cool! Yeah that walk up the hill to the centre of New Zealand too cool!

[@PeterandYen]

😁 sounds like nelson is the place for you. We definitely have to go back sometime too and spend more time in the golden bays 🤙

[@intrepidadventurer1932]

@@PeterandYen Yeah it does and can't wait one day!

[@HangryByNature]

I remember you guys spoke to us about this storm! looooks so so cold and miserable! It's good it didn't stop you guys doing this. This cave is totally worth it! what da 20,000 years - Amazing! The pic's peanut butter tour looks really cool. The factory is massive!! hahaha the peanut butter bike is awesome.

[@PeterandYen]

A bit unfortunate about the storm but it's all good we still managed to have a great trip. Gotta expect these things with New Zealand rather anyway 😂

[@legendreturnz3310]

Love you guy keep it up 😁

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you 😊✌

[@rexbrown2988]

Congratulations Peter and Yen, another great vlog. My wife and I have been trying for many a year to cross the Tasman for a South Island Road Trip and with a little bit of luck we will be there in the next 12 months. I was born in the South Island and my wife has never been (or seen snow) so thank you again for showing us the majestical mainland ~ Rex ~

[@PeterandYen]

Hiya Rex 🙂👋 Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the vlogs 👍 Best of luck to you both (and going on that Arthur's Pass drive especially)! The South Island is really magical 💕 Your wife is gonna love seeing snow for the first time when she does! I still remember being so amazed by it too! Speaking of snow we're at Ruapehu at the moment 😁🙌

[@nickandhelmi]

Omg i never see peter so excited with the air bnb tour 😂 now we know what peter's dream house going to be LOL

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha I was actually saying to yen the whole time this would be my forever house 🏠

[@bromie21]

Yes that bnb def reminded me of rural England too :). Let me know if you consider going - It’d be a pleasure helping you with your itinerary:) Great series guys, thank you

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks for the offer Tom. We'll definitely make our way over to England 🇬🇧 one day. We'll be n touch to get your help with the trip 👍

[@LanaTiare]

I love that there’s no creepy crawlies in the caves 😆 Ooo jalapeño popper! Yum! All of the food looks so good 🤤 Haha Peter’s so excited about the Cobb home 😆. It does sound really cool though! Bridget Jones’s diary 😂 Love the comparison! “Wow look at all this Cobb!” I’m dying 😂. Pics!!! So good, love how they make it healthy too. Haha if it has a giant needle it must be the centre 😆😆 Loved this video!! You guys are so easy to watch 😊

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yeah... I was particularly excited about this one. Just can't help being excited by random stuff all the time 😁 glad you enjoyed it we ended up needing to put two vlogs into one for this one hence why it ended up so long hahaha

[@LanaTiare]

@@PeterandYen Yes! The Cobb house is a really cool concept! The vlog was actually so easy to watch even though it was a little longer 😊

[@rlim9947]

What an amazing view in the caves. The Air BnB place looks like a real treat. Who wouldn't love a peanut butter tour ? Envy you guys. Great video by the way.

[@PeterandYen]

Peanut 🥜 butter 🧈 is the best 😁👍

[@rob1971]

I think someone needs to build his own cob cottage 🤣 Looks like you'd a great couple of days, despite the weather 🙂 I'll be visiting the caves and doing the Pics tour next visit 🥜

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha I was saying to yen that this kind of house could be a forever home for me on a nice piece of land. I love the idea of building it myself however I would not love the work 😂 Hope you do get a chance to visit absolutely stunning area. In good weather there's a lot more to see like the famous Golden sand beaches ⛱

[@shoutatthesky]

Usually when I go in to caves in this area they are very dark and very slippery, but they are so cool. And to think that people do multi-week expeditions in the area, complete with scuba and climbing gear! The Ngarua caves are a great way for those of low physical ability to see these taonga. Nice tour!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yes low physical ability that's us, the multi day scuba and climbing sounds intense!

[@JamalDolleyGames]

Awesome, love the extra long vid this week :)

[@PeterandYen]

😁👍 thanks for watching Jamal

[@FoodandFootprints]

Oh peanut butter factory! Would definitely go off buying the different ones. Like that they keep the recipe nice and simple with no nonsense added!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea that was the whole reason pic's was started.. the founder hated all the sugar that was added into the big commercial brands. So glad he made his peanut butter coz it's so delicious 😋👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Wowwww the cave looks incredible! It reminds us of visiting some caves in Vietnam... Its good that they provide the helmet for safety 😁 Jesus the bones! It's really well kept. Yen is a very good cave musician. 😂 Love the ambience of the restaurant and ummmm popcorn chicken and dumplings! Looks awesome. What a nice lunch after some excursion. 👍👍👍

[@PeterandYen]

This was quite a spectacular location, the formations were super impressive. We've seen some cool ones from videos in ha long Bay too. Will need to visit there sometime 😯

[@arstiahsu793]

😍 caves so pretty! I love the bnb.

[@PeterandYen]

Both were so unique and special! 🙂

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We love a good cavern tour. It is quite cool that it's all lit up. And good choice on lunch. I need that pop corn chicken in my life. That jalapeño popper is all for Maria. LOL Haha Yes to Bridget Jones and all of those British movies. They are charming for sure. Ooohhh, you had us at peanut butter factory tour! :-) Yum!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey guys yeah we had a great feed in nelson and an excellent time exploring those caves. Pics peanut 🥜 butter is a staple dietary spread 😁

[@LayilaFaon]

love fog so mystic and beautiful really a wonderful place!

[@PeterandYen]

The caves were awesome 👌 thanks for watching 👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Beautiful caves! Haha Yen so happy there’s no bugs down there 😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

That was honestly the best.. some other caves there's wetas and although they look cool I don't wanna meet them 😆

[@TheWorldnUs]

Epic cave! Perhaps one of the most incredible caves I’ve seen. Nelson looks like a nice place and the church is impressive. Nice Airbnb tour Peter 👍 We love Pic’s peanut butter too. Actually found some here in Qatar once and stocked up. Haven’t seen it since. It not always easy to find peanut butter with no added sugar here. Hope you guys are doing well 😊 Your doing a great job showing off NZ 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks glad you guys enjoyed the vlog, it's been great fun exploring around New Zealand 🇳🇿 though also looking forward to eventually getting the vaccine at some point and continuing overseas travel.

[@debbieoconnor7054]

We are new to your channel. You guys are naturals . Love that you also show us around the Airbnb’s as well. Debbie & Patrick in Wellington

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you Debbie and Patrick! Welcome to our channel 😁👋 Hope you're keeping warm in Wellington! Read that it snowed the other day there 😮❄️

[@nickandhelmi]

I don't think I've seen Pic's peanut butter, now really want to try it! Oh my gosh Whittaker peanut butter, I would definitely eat from the jar 😝

[@PeterandYen]

What! Really? Yes yes if you love peanut butter must try 👍

[@nickandhelmi]

We love going inside the caves 🙌🏻 been to caves like that twice - one near in Sydney and one in Tasmania. You guys are so lucky they allow for the shooting because we weren't allowed😂

[@PeterandYen]

😂 I feel we get very lucky with things like this especially in New Zealand we've had a lot of nice ppl allow us to film.

[@TinanaDIY]

Aweww you do know how to choose the best airbnbs! Awwww yum love pics peanut butter! The whittakers one is yummy! i have been buying pics for some time too! Bet that fresh peanut butter was delish.

[@TinanaDIY]

Me and Avi are off to South Island next year! And I have come back to your vlogs to see what we can do while we are down there so thank you!

😁 nice 👌 any rough idea where you want to go? Or leaving it more as a last minute thing 🤔 both are great ways to explore

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Noeline, glad you're enjoying our videos 🙂 sorry to hear your girl lost her job due to covid 😟 hopefully she gets something else soon and can return to tourism when it picks up again. We've made a vlog from Hobbiton too! One of Peter's favourite experiences in NZ 🙂🧙‍♂️

Great video guys, the food look really delicious (dumpling is life) it was just missing some rice and kimchi 🤣

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yes! You're right.. rice and kimchi seems to make most warm meals better though 🤤

How cool is that cob home? Even before knowing about what goes into it, it has such a cool look to it

Totally normal 😂 quality peanut 🥜 butter 🧈 is a staple

For real New Zealand hospitality is Soo amazing. We gotta ask Lana to make a video to compare Turkish and Kiwi hospitality This caves are so cool, a bit claustrophobic for me (Maria) but seems totally worth it. Time to eat!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Yeah, kiwis in general are super nice. As you go out of the bigger cities the nicer everyone is and even in the big cities ppl are really nice. 😁 yes! Let's get Lana to make that we just caught up with her recently was so nice to meet in person.
