The West coast is my favourite place in NZ, yes it has enormous amounts of rain, but thats what makes it what it is.

[@mybrother6273]

Great too see the South Island......I am k1w1 & have never explored the South Island so you guys have made me think...maybe I should. Always fun to watch your vids, I will be sad when you guys leave this beautiful country.

[@Char-Cal]

Me and my Fiance are moving to NZ in October and your videos are getting me more and more excited every day!

[@GlenAndMado]

awesome guys love it! hope it helps out and makes your journey easier :)

[@BoldRam]

I lived in Haast for 7yrs in the 90's. Loved every minute of it, wet or dry,. It's one of the few untouched wilderness areas you can get up close to.

[@TillyOrifice]

I love Haast. There's absolutely nothing there except trees and it's always raining. Paradise.

[@tigersharkzh]

I remember when that road was an unsealed gravel road. One time I didn't close the boot properly and loads of dust got in. I can laugh over it today but didn't when it happened lol.

[@johnmcnulty1129]

"Arghhh they're after me !" - "It helps if you close the window Glen". 😁

[@johnotimi6813]

I appreciate you showing us these beautiful little gems come rain or shine or rainbows!

[@modfus]

LOL, you guys look like you're having fun - even chatting with the (grumpy) Kiwi locals 😉

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Not grumpy. It's called experience. French and sorry Mado, German tourists, some, have given their countries a bad name with their disrespect, rule ignorance. We've lost many freedom camping spots because of them. Rubbish dumped. Toilet paper and waste everywhere. Disgusting.

[@gissyb1]

Magnificent west coast ... it's autumn now so expect some rain :) gorgeous

[@raymondellis2212]

Mado has the most beautiful smile lights up her whole face

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Such a gorgeous part of our NZ 👍🙌

[@madnatty]

Make sure you visit Hokitika, that’s where you might happen upon some gold in the river! Also where the novel, The Luminaries, is set. Further up the west coast, the old Denniston coal mine is a must see too.

[@GlenAndMado]

that should be our next video actually but never looked for gold unfortunately!

[@AliyaBeghum-t6w]

Beautiful country Newziland 🇦🇺

[@camhyde9701]

I recall that cafe in Haast very clearly... hopefully they are more friendly these days =)

[@fritzwacker3771]

Mostly to wear at west coast are Shouthland Slippers(Gummies). Its my experience.

[@richardjones-b1v]

That milk tanker and trailer unit is from Westland dairy Co. and picks up the milk daily from Dairy farms in the area and transports it to the factory at Hokitika

[@marias8007]

Im gonna miss your nz vids when u leave

[@moniquegin8444]

I call the West Coast - the last wild frontier. Its becoming more and more popular because of it

[@wakaroawaata1586]

I swam in the blue pools in my birthday suite.

[@DavidSheldreck]

I always buy eggs onthe side of the street😂😂😂loveit

[@Storm4155]

Dude you need to have some whitebait patties, it's a NZ classic dish.

[@chrisroger4416]

should do roadtrip from milford sound up to Haast its beautiful drive nice blue rivers. also check out Lake Tekapo West Coast is beautiful and very secluded

[@Usernametouse]

Glen ya look like an old nana driving with ya seat that close to the steering wheel 😁 Oh yes love the sea, knights point is a great spot for free diving, crayfish, paua & fishing 👌 Cheers guys

[@kwerk2011]

"Maybe something warm"? "- They have ice cream".

[@nikhilsasi.k8514]

Beautiful ❤

[@Roundy22]

The main attraction at the blue pools is to jump off the bridge into the pools

[@waynefergusson9987]

make sure you trek the Hokitika gorge walk when you get there !

[@terryadams4857]

Try the white bait it’s amazing 👍but sadly not cheap anymore U will find pictures of it washing up on the beaches there and people taking barrow loads home to use as fertiliser on there gardens

[@johnstuart8511]

GLEN, You need some Sun on the rest of your body. Just look at your arms.. so brown.. Living the good life. The weather in New Zealand is very good around. Thank you for showing your videos. 1st class. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Hey guys, the video was Good as Gold. hehe

[@warrenlancaster286]

Make sure you have a whitebait fritter while you are down there.

[@trudimclaren4301]

We always stayed in Fox Glacier rather than Franz Joseph - I think Fox was the more spectacular glacier (the walk to the glacier is before you get to the village), but neither of them are that impressive anymore, sadly - they've retreated a long way up the valleys now.

[@LongShadong]

A Ukrainian a German and a Irish man walks into a west coast pub

[@harrycurrie9664]

And the Irishman says "How ya doin', you well ?.

[@mohammedbinladen4619]

The weather is hard on homes on the west coast as you can see, plus I am not sure how much employment there is some small towns so people are poorer.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Harst Glen 😊

[@kwerk2011]

Doesn't really work with the Irish accent. Might be better to say it rhymes with "past".

[@harrycurrie9664]

Maddo should know the word. Haast is German ...no ?

[@lineardielectric]

​@@harrycurrie9664 Julius Von Haast was from Bonn, so yes

[@myrmidonesantipodes6982]

Not Glen O'Brien is it? Keith's brother?

[@mohammedbinladen4619]

🤣 the sandflies are annoying as hell on the West Coast. The west coast is a beech forest and sandflies live in the beech I think. I hate them but it is best to ignore them and just accept you're going to get bitten.

[@KiwikimNZ]

Hahaha nothing better than being stuck in a sheep or cow traffic jam lol

[@amerkiwi]

Whataroa. Wh is pronounced as an F so it is Far-ta-roa

[@carolbisseker920]

Been to that salmon farm, a complete rip off and food in the cafe is below par.

[@naseebsarwar4134]

Hi mado

[@rozzy2443]

No-one else has done it, so I will. It's pronounced Haast (Har-st)

[@RichardBradley-d4i]

Glen I dont know how you can be comfortable sitting so far forward close to the steering wheel ? I would find it so awkward not being able to straighten my arms while driving. Each to their own I guess.......love the videos though!!!!

[@GlenAndMado]

Jesus I don’t know either 😂

[@chrisroger4416]

what was wrong with your car? why did u rent a car if u own one appropriate for travelling? just curious

[@GlenAndMado]

Only 2 seats in the car but 3 people 😅

[@iamnotmental]

an early model toyota wish is not good for off-road, they were preparing for rough driving, as said at 2:25

[@florence2720]

earlyyyyyy

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Sandflies hate baby oil so make sure you have some with you

[@marias8007]

For real? This is a good tip

[@warrenlancaster286]

I will pass that tip on to my wife .They love her!

[@harrycurrie9664]

Yeah, they stick to it.

[@petegibson863]

Yes , I told them about equal measures of baby oil mixed with Dettol , keeps them away , but Glen thought it would be too toxic , probably more toxic that sandflie poison ! You can't tell some people ! Enjoy the bites .

[@lesleyhughes3174]

@@petegibson863 anything used on a baby nowadays is not toxic. Johnsons baby powder was pulled up yrs ago for toxicity, but now improved, but I still wouldn't use it. There are other pure ones to buy now. Even the baby lotion is good to use, if not the oil.
