I Rode The Most Dangerous Road In New Zealand. Skipper's Canyon SOLO! - EP. 13

Skipper's Road is known as one of the most dangerous roads in New Zealand which is carved into the mountains of New Zealand's South Island. This isn't just a scenic route; it's a test of skill, nerve, and a true adventure for the riders.

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.com/arewethereyet/
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

The moment I left Auckland, I headed north to Northland, where I met up with friends to explore stunning beaches, lush forests, and learn about the incredible Māori culture.

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 .

Thank you 🙌

Epic drone footage on this one ,Kinga!

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@scotthektner1439]

Beautiful wish I was there riding...

[@russy8488]

Thanks for this vid absolutely epic!!

[@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😊

[@ThatRobbie]

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.

[@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]

KINGA YOU ARE A LEGEND💜🇳🇦

[@onherbike]

Thank you 🙌

[@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)

[@gerardcullen5131]

Great video Kinga drone footage perfect and your camping culinary skills are adventurous 😊😊

[@onherbike]

Thank you 😊

[@becky4393]

Awesome ride, thanks for sharing 😊

[@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!

[@davidforeman2734]

Thanks for sharing this place.

[@samuelimebassey2835]

"Yummy, yummy in my tummy..." I love that!

[@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 🌹

Great episode Kinga! Very informatve and interesting, and more than a little bit scary!

[@jonathantrexel4299]

Nicely done! Congrats on a great ride, Kinga!

[@andreasenglert950]

What a beautiful and peaceful country😊 Thanx for sharing

[@muzzab32]

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

[@domlang4070]

Your videos are getting better and better, very beautiful road and very beautiful landscapes, and a good soup too, thank you for sharing, have a good trip Kinga 👍✌✌

[@pjordan12]

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. ✊🏻

[@lesterhutchins1621]

So nice for the touch of the heart ❤️ of the country. Thank you kinda

[@dartmoormole]

Really enjoyed this. Beautiful. Respect

Superbe reportage ! 😉✌

[@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. .

Queenstown, very nice if you can afford to live there.

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

WOW !!!!! What beautiful scenery-----takes your breath away !!!! The beauty part, is that it is unmolested by man and just has been left alone in all its splendor!! New Zealand is so pristine and has lots to offer for the adventurous kind!! Thank you for the great video---keep them coming and stay vigilant !!!!!!!!!!

[@onherbike]

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ThatRobbie]

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.

[@normanhowe-gl2tq]

@@ThatRobbie That's sad----people just can not leave things alone !!!!!!! Thanks for the info----stay safe and aware of your surroundings !!!!!!

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

[@dermotcole3881]

Fair play Kinga It took some nerve to ride them mountain roads in skippers Canyon.I had a similar experience in Carjarc France.Brown rice is rocket fuel I live on it

Whenever you want to visit Saudi Arabia, visit it in the winter. Believe me, you will like Saudi Arabia and its generous and hospitable people.

[@pauljoyquilter359]

The noises in the night might have been a possum.

[@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.

[@goutamdey7270]

So adventurous mam ia in Calcutta

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]

@@mofm1639 Thx 4 info

[@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.

Kinga, do u do ur own maintenance on the bike? or just the small stuff. I'm a mechanic and have several bikes. Thanks for sharing ur lifestyle with us all. 💞

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

Marmite and raw peanuts, the only way.

[@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....

[@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 😂😂

[@enriquecoll5637]

I want to Know..... how does it feel having to drive on the wrong side of the road , ?.

[@onherbike]

For me it's normal, Iived in Australia for 12 years 😊

[@mathewgreen6322]

It looks like deer poop to me.

[@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 ..
