I was aware that NZ was stunning, but I was not aware that it was that stunning! That was just breath-taking!

[@lindascott6902]

No disrespect to these guys, but the video doesn’t do it justice. The mountains are so steep and high, the scale gets lost. When you’re there, the mountain peaks feel like they’re leaning over your head. And while seeing Milford Sound in the sun is lovely, when it rains, waterfalls spontaneously appear, and if it’s heavy enough, half the mountainsides will be spouting water. There’s so much fresh water, that there is a layer of it floating above the salty seawater. That, and the tannins from the trees, make the waters of Milford Sound so dark. There’s even cold water black corals that grow in those waters

[@SuperEdge67]

Queenstown is MUCH more stunning in winter and they didn’t do it justice.

[@pterec61]

We had lots of dolphins swimming alongside of our boat. It was surreal.

[@tammyl5898]

Yes I totally agree! I now want to holiday in New Zealand. ❤🇦🇺

[@SPQRafc]

Also helps that there is minimal Riff Raff compared to most other places !

[@jamesrobinson4429]

I'm so glad you took the advice of the majority of your Australian subscribers in visiting New Zealand with it's spectacular scenery and the friendliness of it's people After you guys having spent over 5 months exploring Australia it would be a criminal offence not visiting New Zealand, as you can see both Countries are so beautiful but vastly different in scenery Massive hats off for those subscribers who paid for those Milford Sound tickets for you. How good was that👍 Please don't get offended if you get more offerings from us Aussies and Kiwis in paying for other excursions, trips or whatever other offerings they may give you, It's just built in our culture , it's the real deal with us and proud of it We just want people like yourself to have lifetime great memories of our Countries down under

[@Andy_M986]

Yes!!!! This is us,well said neighbour.

[@ianwilkinson3425]

😂

[@MrJames_1]

As an Aussie skier, I thought I'd seen a bit of the South Island but that vision of the road out to and including Milford Sound / Piopiotahi made me want to go back out of the ski season. Just wow (and beautifully photographed as well).

[@brianward7724]

@jamesrobinson4429 What a terrific thing to say to them! Kudos!

[@ianwilkinson3425]

The they are tourists tubers. I highly doubt they need Ozzie opinions considered before they go somewhere buddy. Please tell me yr joking about them listening to yr advice. No offense . Love from NZ

[@nataliem5329]

Reminds me of when my hubby proposed at Milford Sound, whilst we were holidaying in NZ. Most beautiful country in the world.

[@KerryRichter-qj9wc]

I spent 32 years in NZ, been on every major road, loved the lifestyle and the people. Wherever you go whatever you do it will be money & time well spent. Will be back in the NI in February then off to the US - Appalachian Trail. mid march. Don't forget to go back to Aus and finish WA (wild flower season is special)😂

[@trudimclaren4301]

Sometimes there's a reason something's a tourist attraction - there's nothing else like Milford Sound - been about 5 times, but it blows me away every time ❤ Interesting reason the water is so dark - it's because the fresh water sits on the top of the salt water and blocks out the light - it makes it a great place to research deep-sea life, because it mimics a much, much deeper environment because of the lack of light getting through! 😊

[@OnePackWanderers]

This is extremely interesting, thank you for sharing! I’m off to read more about it.

[@susannelangridge4206]

Some years ago we visited NZ with our boys in September. We were blessed with snow with the road from Te Anau looking like a Christmas scene as we drove. When we went through the tunnel it was like we were in another land. Blue skies and not a trace of the storm on the other side of the mountain. It was incredible.

[@marionthompson3365]

Experienced the same. Plus the changing landscapes on that route. Definitely another world.

[@fletch88zz]

Yeah I had the same thing. We were in a rainstorm, went through the tunnel and then clear weather day. Like, hang on, did that tunnel transport us to a different land?

[@AussieTVMusic]

Maybe you could do Northwest Western Australia next year as they opened the New Fitzroy River bridge this week.

[@Klunge]

Its the scale. Even when you're actually there, its not til another tour boat in the distance gives it some scale. Truely breath taking.

[@cloudboy7750]

The KZbin algorithm sent me the video of Tia and Cheveyo arriving in New Zealand, and I've enjoyed their content enough to subscribe and follow their journey from the beginning, which is highly recommended. I'm currently where they are in Pai in Thailand. I think possibly the nicest thing about their channel is that it's a love story as much as a travelog. 🙂

[@stevemurrell6167]

They are certainly an adorable couple.....you can see and feel the love indeed.

[@DB-thats-me]

A couple of my tour guide comments. 🤓 The road up to the Homer tunnel (Alt 3000’) and down to Milford are in the remnants of glaciers! Milford ‘Sound’ (technically a fjord) having been carved out by same. About half way between TeAnau and the Homer tunnel is an innocuous road sign stating 45deg South. At that latitude you are exactly half way between the Equator and The South Pole. 😳 Queenstown is on the same latitude. And finally, you passed within 10min of my home as you passed through Mossburn. 👍 Welcome to ‘The Deep South’.❤️💕

[@ageofatheism6638]

Why do I hear banjo's ,lol

[@robparsons1527]

Wow! what a stunning area, NZ really is one the most beautiful countries on earth. Thanks for showing us.

[@brianward7724]

I enjoyed that guys, especially the enthusiasm for just about everything! I was on a cruise on the SS Oriana in 1962/63. Our first port of call was Hobart (on Christmas Eve, so it's almost exactly 61 years ago!). As the ship left Hobart there was an announcement that "if the weather allows" the ship (a 40,000 ton liner!) would steam into Milford Sound. I was all keyed up about it, because my dad had been a seafaring man and had actually been in the sound on one of the ships he worked on. Of course, there was a 70 mph gale blowing, so the Oriana just kept going up the west coast.......

[@CheekyKoala]

Cody’s food reviews are becoming as iconic as Tia for scale 😂😂 - You’ve set the bar high Cody - you know we’ll all be disappointed if you can’t deliver in future episodes 😉😉😘😘😂😂😊

[@azzure001]

so pleased you were able to experience milford and the drive down there. as you saw, it is stunning. you got a good viewing day too as it is often misty and overcast.

[@cadifan]

You should try the Shotover jet boating while you're there. PS. Wearing back seat seatbelts is mandatory if you don't want more tickets.

[@nixferguson7323]

I definitely second that! Jetboat on shotover river

[@jasgem76]

Moki: you can cut that out right? Cheveyo and Tia: haha Nope 😂 What a spectacular vlog. NZ is incredible.

[@peita64]

Kia ora you guys.l am a NZ maori living in Australia.Been here for 20 years now,not even contemplating going back to NZ.But after watching y,alls videos,I'm yearning to go back home,even just for a little while. I've never been to the south island,so a tiki tour(road trip)down there is at the top of my to do list..thanx to you guys..cheers you two,and all the best for 2024.

[@linnightl9277]

Traveled the "most beautiful road in the world" on first snow fall for the year - that was stunning

[@NZ2STROKE]

"im going to poop myself its so pretty" is now on my list of things to say lol

[@seamusobrien2675]

a most beautiful place on earth meets beautiful people on earth, special times.

[@kalliste01]

I got to see Milford Sound from a cruise ship last year and it was amazing! The drive there also looked awesome, I'd definitely do it again. Thanks to the viewers who paid for it!

[@katecobb9278]

Wow. Have just spent 17.49 minutes relaxing and watching your wonderful vlog. I feel like I was transported back to Milford Sound and the spectacular views. Thank you for sharing. Take care and stay safe. x

[@icholas1527]

On a cruise or in an airport it's perfectly acceptable to drink a beer anytime of day.

[@markowens8255]

Love all your videos " its Good"

[@kaz1578]

Lovely to revisit the same trip I did in 2013.

[@peterreece2340]

That was stunningly beautiful. Thanks for the ride.

[@nixontech]

You are so lucky that you had a sunny day in Milford Sound. At least 2 out of every 3 days is raining, but it's so worth the trip. We were also stunned at how clear the water in the lake was at Queenstown and how refreshing it was to drink

[@coreymana5676]

Fun fact: Te Anau has a lake, in that lake (Lake Te Anau) is a little island and on that little island is another lake. Great videos guys.

[@Snorl3y]

"I'm gonna poop myself, it's so pretty" 🤣🤣

[@riapuaina]

Cody’s sense of humour is top tier!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Agreed! He’s a racket haha

[@robhancock1412]

Thanks for sharing again 😊 we are really looking forward to visiting Milford Sound 👍

[@23Wolgan]

We have been to Queenstown and Milford Sound on two occasions. I think you could go every day of the week and you would never tire of it.

[@sunnydayz7232]

Wow New Zealand !!! Living up to its reputation, stunning. What a wonderful life you have. When you get tired, just think of working 9 -5 5 days a week. You are living the dream.❤ So glad you missed the flooding in far north qld. So much water!! Devastating. Cairns is now an island cant get in or out. Baron falls was a mere trickle when you were there. Too much water now. Enjoy the rest of NZ weather looks amazing ATM.

[@alieenhoman4507]

Found your channel a couple of days ago. You guys rock and I am enjoying seeing my country New Zealand through your eyes. I’ve been binge watching your Australian adventures also and now I’m going back to the very beginning. I love your presentation style, it’s relaxed and doesn’t feel so commercial as many other KZbin channels seem to have become over time. 😊 safe travels and a very happy holidays to you all xx

[@geoff2196]

Wow wow wow. Your vlog of Milford Sound has convinced me that I need to travel there to check it out. Truly breath taking and spectacular. Many thanks to the lovely people that shouted you all the trip to Milford Sound. Am enjoying your interactions/humour with Cody & Moki. Take care & travel safe.

[@leed206]

Been a lot if years since I've seen Milford Sound. We saw it as a giant waterfall as we came out of the tunnel. They were everywhere. Didn't get the great colours you did, but shouldn't expect both. Continue to have a great time.

[@sonnyday6830]

years ago I cycled toured through Te Anau and to Milford Sound, it was the first time I had been there and was memorised the whole way, the best way to see fiordland is on a bike going at a slow real time pace.....amazing place.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Whoa! That must’ve been one heck of a cycling trip! How long did it take you? There are some steep grades along there!

[@sonnyday6830]

It was fantastic, stayed in the fiordland area for 4 days, stayed at the DOC camping grounds, got eaten alive by sand flies but was worth it for the scenery, also could stop anywhere along the road and take a walk into the ancient Jurassic looking forests. You guys made the right choice going there that is for sure. @@OnePackWanderers

[@OnePackWanderers]

Man, that sounds like an awesome 4 days 😍

[@realitywinner7582]

Great vibe about your video's ..God Bless ye -from Ireland 🙂

[@Elitist20]

You're lucky to see Milford Sound in the sun - Fiordland has 200 rain days a year! (I've been to Milford four times in my life and it's always been cloudy or rainy.🙁) Those mountains just go straight down into the sound, another 1000 ft to the bottom, actually deeper than the Tasman Sea at the entrance. At one point we didn't just go past a waterfall, but right underneath it.

[@ipo5566pm]

Seriously that country is just beyond stunning!!! Well done guys on relaying that beauty

[@nuddleable]

Milford sound is just magnificent, I have seen it many times whilst cruising and each time my jaw hits the ground. After such and awesome experience I am then tempted to return to their priceless "big Turd"" vid which never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Great stuff. Onya possums.

[@chicken888]

Fergburger is worth trying. Also you need to make a tshirt with a silhouette of Cody giving a thumbs up and “it’s good” on it. It’ll sell out for sure!

[@timwhelan4347]

Glad you got to experience Milford sound. Very worthwhile. Enjoy the rest of the south island. I also had a beer on the cruise, but we splashed out and did the overnight one, so that probably doesn't really help your point. As long as the beer isn't for breakfast then I think its ok 🙂

[@dutchroll]

Oh Moki, you ask them if they're recording before you speak, not afterwards! 🤣 Beautiful scenery!

[@graemeashton1917]

Had an awesome day at Milford Sound ❤

[@Dutchbelg3]

Dear couples this series of videos is such a welcome reminder of the trip my wife and I made touring the south island a month ago!. We had 2 weeks of straight blue skies weather and we did stay over in Te Anau to be early for going to the Milford sound. Just before the tunnel going to the fjord we stopped aside the road to take some pictures of the snow capped mountains and 2 big deep green Kea's flew towards us and landed on the roofrack of our car. They were not shy at all! And when we had to slow down before the tunnel we saw another 3 of these birds. The only other time we met these birds was when we travelled Athur's Pass and we stopped for a pee 🙂 Did you see any of them? And did you enjoy the tui birds making their distinctive noises ? New Zealand is easily one of the most beautiful countries we visited and my counter is on 45 countries spread around the world. I noticed you lot are now in Europe? Will you head for Belgium? If so you are welcome for a round of sweet and savory snacks in ANtwerp (my home town) I invite you! Have fun , Hans the Dutchbelg 🙂

[@LJSpit]

So, you can tick Milford off your bucket list. I want to GO Back! We did it in winter. We had to wait 2 days for them to clear an avalanche at the west entrance of the tunnel. I was surprised to see how flat it is in this area. We had a10 meter deep trench to drive though then got to the tunnel. No our boat trip we got snowed on the whole time. Our boat actually stuck its stern under the big waterfall at the end of the trip. We walk out on deck and got hammered by the falling water. Antarctica and Milford (and NZ) are my two most loved travel experiences of my life. Thankyou for taking back to Milford... 🙂

[@Suzannes_Trip]

Thank you! 💚😃

[@paulinetan9085]

Congratulations Checeyo and Tia! I just saw that you were featured in the Mazda Christmas newsletter for your trip around Australia in Blueberry!

[@firebrand2619]

I’m so happy you managed to cruiser Milford Sound thoroughly enjoyed watching. Have you tried the local cuisine White bait battered an deep fried.Very popular in New Zealand can be bought in any fish and chip shop.Unique to NZ. The name doesn’t make it sound very appetising but don’t be fooled very tasty. Merry Christmas.

[@gusdrivinginaustralia6168]

Gotta love NZ. I did this same trip you did. Awesome.

[@gregbrewer3779]

Congratulations on your great coverage of your NZ trip. We have been there many times. We are glad you like it so much.

[@vaughantutty2227]

Great video guys, I'm a Queenstown local. It's definitely acceptable to have a beer at any time on a cruise 😂

[@PamsTravelwithdogs]

Didn’t want this video to end 😢 the Milford Sound cruise was stunning and made it one of your best vids ever (Except the ones in Aus) Booking my holiday to NZ now 😂

[@killakoala10]

Great vid. Milford is visually amazing. Even better in winter, but it's nice in summer too.. Stay safe in Bluff when you get here. I'll wave if I see you. :)

[@SICsupraman]

I'm so glad you guys really got to experience the Milford Sound drive on a great day. Our memorable drive was also one where there were no other vehicles for 30 mins to an hour. Come back in winter one day... the entire road is plowed but everything around you is covered in a thin layer of white-out snow... incredible scenes :)

[@therese4963]

Wow!! How beautiful is Milford Sound. Thanks guys for such a great video. We're planning an NZ trip for this time next year. I feel I should be writing all these places down, as you have captured the South Island so beautifully. Can't wait for the next video xx

[@nixferguson7323]

Awesome vid guys. Yes South Island is GORGEOUS! Yes as someone else suggested you guys HAVE to do the shotover jetboating its something youll never forget 👍👌

[@snip3d]

There are driving roads for the road, and driving roads for the scenery. This one is my favourite in the world for endlessly changing scenery. If you ever get a chance to go, its worth it. Including the boat tours. Cruise ships do not give you the same experience, I've done both. The road is worth the drive every time.

[@garymason8191]

You guys left Queenstown and didn't go to Arrowtown few k's up the road, famous old goldmines settlement and beautifully green, tourist trap!!!

[@Shift0231]

Nature at its most spectacular! So pleased you got to experience it and share with those of us (self included) who have yet to visit the South Island! I think it’s worth a return visit during the Winter - so best start saving! Those flowers - what a gift and legacy that lady who introduced them to NZ left! For the record I will go a step further and say I think it’s perfectly acceptable to consume alcohol responsibly any time of day while on holidays - not just confined to a cruise - as long as driving and operating machinery is not involved! Curious to see Cody’s review of something that is NOT good!

[@LNZCHICKHAMBrown]

Stunning. I live in the North and hope to go down next year.

[@louisaklimentos7583]

I love to visit NEW Zealand and I love your videos !

[@MrJames_1]

Ladies, seatbelts (the sash too)‼. I'm just being selfish though, I don't want the videos to end 🤩

[@Potomacstud]

Superb video , thank you

[@denisemiller1081]

It certainly is acceptable to drink beer on a cruise at any time of the day, same as airports 😁

[@gregorylongmuir4036]

How amazing is it for the lovely people to pay for you trip that's just wow And yes it definitely a beer on a cruise at any time haha its the kiwi way 🍻

[@brynjones3481]

Awesome vlog - I hope the 4 of you return in 10 years and do another

[@tbillington]

Glad you guys got to visit Queenstown. It's a ridiculously beautiful city, with so much to do. Unfortunately very expensive, but it's very much worth it to do at least once.

[@meplife7313]

What an adventure you're all having :) NZ scenery is just breathtaking.

[@Caitness1]

Thanks for taking us along on the ride. Milford Sound looks so awesome, worth crossing the ditch for, putting it on my bucket List. 🇦🇺🇳🇿 🇺🇸❤

[@janeyoung4844]

TY for sharing. Just breathtaking.❤

[@ricebubble4]

Right as I was thinking how creepy it would be to go through that tunnel, Tia asked if anyone else felt weird about it 😅 Glad to know it's not just me who can't stop thinking about how much rock is above you! Yet another great vlog you two, you're quickly convincing me I need to get back to NZ as soon as I can!

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

Instead of thinking how much rock is above you think of it as how much reinforcement is above you. There, now don't you feel better 😁

[@nzbrent]

brilliant production value.... glad your happy in nz

[@bomartin6274]

Lovely video, really pleased you got to share it with family. Merry Christmas.

[@craziewill]

Once you visit New Zealand, you don't need to go to Switzerland (Aspen, etc).. I've said before that NZ is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.. Also Milford Sounds always get massive injustice whenever it's recorded.. No cameras can capture the true beauty of Milford Sounds or most of South Islands magical and natural beauty

[@chrisw4578]

Milford Sound is the crowning glory after walking the 53+km (33 miles) of the Milford Track and Sutherland Falls side track. The track is four days of that magnificent scenery. All the better if it rains, and it generally does, because the ad hoc waterfalls along the valley sides are worth the journey all on their own.

[@joannakeenan3355]

Nearly 40 years ago, I walked the Milford track. Couldn't do it now. So glad I did!

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

Why wouldn't you go to those places after visiting New Zealand? Switzerland mountains are stunning, the Matterhorn mountain is considered by many the most beautiful in the world Aspens skiing is some of the best in the world and the wildlife there is amazing. Do you not go to Norway to see the world largest concentration of Fiords after MIlford sound?

[@butsayaphianjit3840]

Hello both of you ❤I’m watching you guys now.👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hello!

[@CheekyKoala]

Thank you for another fabulous video 😘😘

[@FredPilcher]

As tourist towns go, Queenstown is nice. 🙂 It's so hard to get a sense of scale at Milford Sound, unless you see a boat or a helicopter in shot.

[@vinhquyen46]

Thank you for another gorgeous video. Merry X'Mas and Happy New-Year of 2024.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@cj-gunn]

Born in NZ and super proud to have lived on the South Island ("The Mainland") for my adult life... It really is a pleasure to see the beauty of Aotearoa through new eyes... Also just a heads up NZ Police are really strict on seatbelts - A fine of NZ$150 can be issued to all occupants not wearing a seat belt.

[@brianjarred340]

Beautiful scenery

[@duncanowen1484]

Hope it's not too late! If y'all like hiking with mind-boggling stunning views at the top - Ben Lomond in Queenstown and Roy's Peak out of Wanaka are out-of-this-world single day hikes. You'll need good cardio fitness though :)

[@derekcraignolan]

It always rains in Milford. You Gus got lucky.

[@AHuri505]

Milford Sounds are majestic

[@andyjames2082]

As always, thanks people, really good to watch. What do you do with the music copyright? Just wondering,

[@OnePackWanderers]

We use a copyright free service called ‘Epidemic Sound.’ It’s a monthly subscription and they have a relatively nice music catalogue.

[@PaulinAsia_]

I knew you would love Milford Sound. Did they tell you that just to the left of where the ships dock (the grassy area) is where they filmed Alien Covenant. (where they are attacked by the creatures and the landing craft blows up.....(um that's if you've watched it LOL).

[@kraminbris6980]

About 25 years ago, I proposed to my wife at the base of that waterfall. We both got drenched through, but she said yes....she didn't stand a chance with that setting!

[@mattieclan8957]

There is a bigger Glow worm cave in Waitomo, north island near Rotorua

[@rduffy9948]

Seriously, NZ is the most beautiful place. You do make any country you visit look fabulous. But, N.Z. would be hard to make unattractive. Loving this adventure very much. Try not to get to many tickets. Stay safe.

[@johnserpo9267]

Hey since you guys are already in NZ, why not visit Antartica?

[@Gordon_L]

Does Moki work with deaf people ? I see she signed "good morning" at the beginning of the video .

[@OnePackWanderers]

Very perceptive of you! Moki is deaf herself. She has a cochlear implant, which helps her hear.

[@Gordon_L]

I'm glad the implant works so well , i would not have guessed any hearing impairment from watching you guys 🙂You've shot some terrific scenery in this one , I think you're all fairly impressed with NZ . Fun fact , South Island NZ and Tasmania have about the same population density . @@OnePackWanderers

[@PeteV.53]

@@OnePackWanderers the early, single channel cochlear implant was first developed in the 1950s, with limited practical success. Although parallel work was being done in Austria, an Australian, Professor Graeme Clark, is considered to be the inventor of the modern multi channel cochlear implant.

[@darrylk808]

Wow, I guess the drive was worth it? We were in Queenstown and chose not to do that drive just for the scenery. We looked at pics on Google. 😂 Looks just like Fjords in Norway and Alaska. We are jaded.

[@theene6043]

Wow…..just wow❤

[@houseparade1767]

Is this the most beautiful place you guys have ever visited?? I think it just might be....

[@whymeeveryone]

that tunnel is there two both going in different directions.

[@westaussieeggs8867]

Beautiful video 😍 I have a question to you guys, what month did you go there, it looks like full blown spring, also did you book the cruise ahead and one more how long did it take to drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound? We have booked a trip to South Island for October next year and need as much info from young travellers like you. We are in our 70s and after closed borders we lost the confidence of travelling.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey there! We filmed this video a little over a week ago. So that's early December. The drive from Te Anau to Milford is about two hours if you don't stop. Have fun in NZ, and if you have any more questions we're happy to answer. It is absolutely stunning.
