Breathtaking video folks. Views and overall scenery are simply marvelous!

[@didibryan]

Thank you very much!

[@flyersaga]

What a gorgeous hike! We're definitely adding this to our itinerary for whenever we head to New Zealand.

[@didibryan]

It's definitely a must do!

[@SeattlePoPolsku]

Thank you for such detailed video and describing and showing the difficulty of the hike. I am very much hoping my kids will do this hike with us. Have you seen anyone with a stroller/wagon on the trail by chance?

[@didibryan]

We didn't see any strollers. That might be a little tough as well since there are some stairs (not a lot) on the path

Hi, tqvm for sharing ur journey. We hv a few questions: How much was the car renting? What month you make ur journey? What's the temperature like? Is it safe to do the hiking, how far n both of u took how long to finish it? In advance, we tqvm for ur reply.

[@didibryan]

We rented a car for 2 weeks and the cost of that and gas for around $1500. We also came during peak season so the rental price was probably much higher than normal. We went between December and January. The temperature was a bit warm, but wasn't too hot. I would say about 20 Celsius in the day. Yes the hike is totally safe. It only took us slightly over 2 hours for the entire round trip.

were you using a drone?

[@356z]

What hotel/shuttle did you use for this?

[@didibryan]

We drove and stayed at an Airbnb nearby

[@356z]

@didibryan who did you book the shuttle with?

[@didibryan]

We didn't book a shuttle. We drove and parked at the start of the hike.

[@356z]

@@didibryan I'm sorry! I confused it with the Alpine crossing. Was that an easy shuttle to book?

[@didibryan]

Ah no worries! There's a couple places you can find online. We actually booked a shuttle via our hotel
