Railbike adventure & feeding wild stingrays GISBORNE, New Zealand | NORTH ISLAND NZ TRAVEL VLOG 4/5

[@hjt9536]

Been living on the East Coast of the North Island my whole life and didn't even know that the Railbike adventure existed in Gisborne lol

[@dancollier3523]

Me too im a local and never herd of it lol Looks mean tho

[@PeterandYen]

Bit of a hidden gem this one it seems 😁👍🚲🛤️

[@onefootatatime263]

Remember that Advert "Don't leave New Zealand til you'v seen it" and then he went over the waterfall

[@celestechetty3018]

Peter and Yen It’s quite newish, and Gisborne is so bad for advertising! very cool you got to do it.

[@mattnatad134]

My brothers fell off it hahaha, dunno how, but they some how did

[@catherinehyde6906]

I have lived in gisborne all my life and it makes me so happy to see people exploring our little town ❤️

[@PeterandYen]

Gisborne was awesome and we had a great time there! Hopefully more kiwis will go check your city out and explore too. See the beauty for themselves as well ☺️👍❤️

[@adamforrest5346]

Im from wanganui, lot's of crime, not much employment, a lot of violence,, im hoping to put some money away and move to gisborne asap, i have a good tent, any freedom camp sights there

[@RudyVisuals]

Nothing like a warm bowl of soup after a cold day out!

[@PeterandYen]

💯 I was like just gimme anything hot and soupy right now! 😆 winter and being in the cold water plus wind made for a pretty chilly day lol

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Guys, we really enjoyed this episode! The cute Stingray, beautiful cozy Airbnb and the cycling along the gorgeous view... awesome! we would like to be backpacking again!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yen n i had an awesome time in gisborne 🤙

[@paullong4471]

Shalom! Georgeous scenery.. Nice beach..watching, touching and feeding stingrays, full workout with bicycle ride..and warm food for the journey..excellent.God bless

[@PeterandYen]

Shalom! 🙂 Railbikes is definitely one of our fave experiences in NZ and getting to feed stingrays was so cool 🙂

[@nicid54]

Love the multi-episode tours! Also, the varied perspectives of the cinematography make the vlogs look very professional! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to 5/5!

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙 thank you Nicholas 👍we try our best slowly the vlogs are improving a bit hahaha

[@OCE_JXMES]

Great video, I've been living in Sydney, Australia for the past 20 years but was born and raised in Gisborne; this is my spiritual home. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and it's great to see you supporting and promoting local businesses, particularly tourism operators! Awesome stuff, cheers

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks cam 😊 happy to bring you some footage from your home. We had an awesome time in gisborne will have to make the trip back again sometime in summer so we can slide down the rere rocks 🤙😁 n have to support our local kiwi businesses especially right now 👍

[@feedmeimei]

Wow that crispy chicken noodle soup definitely looks interesting! Like you said, you don't usually see crispy/fried proteins in a soup dish!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea or if you have them might be separated out but it was great. Was exactly what I needed to hit the spot on that cold day!

[@feedmeimei]

Aw that bike ride looks super fun!!!!! Totally want to try that one day. Beautiful views and a vegemite & chips sandwich 😂😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

Such an awesome activity, really enjoyed it 💙☺️👍

[@PuriandSue]

Peter: Yen's doing make up Yen: Doing one last check on the AirBnB You guys are so cute 😂

[@PeterandYen]

😅 i just guess make up 😂

[@mariaandbryan]

I was going to say the same hahaha hilarious!!

[@fayevids7391]

That’s true Yen, NZ BnB are very kind to leave little treats. Stingray feeding looked fun. The bike ride on the tracks.. never heard of it until now on your video. Yen’s little secret.. (legs are tired) I started laughing 😂 Beautiful video from 2 beautiful KZbinrs 💕 Stay Blessed and I look forward to more adventures ❤️❤️ God Bless Oh and the chips sandwiches 😍👌🏼🥪 childhood memories

[@PeterandYen]

Hello aunty 😁✌ its funny to think my childhood lunch was also your childhood lunch 😄 marmite sandwiches is such a classic i made one for my mum the other day and she gave me the look like what is this 😅😂 all the activities we did in gisborne were awesome thanks for watching much love take care ❤❤

[@SundaiLove]

Omg that view !!! It looks so nice there. Big fish low key scared me too 😂😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

😁 do you have any other irrational fears Sundai?

[@ffcf1513]

Love seeing beautiful NZ through your vlogs every week. That bike railway tour looked tiring but the views look so worth it😍So great to see support for local NZ businesses! 😊

[@PeterandYen]

Gotta look after our tourism industry with all this lockdown right now 😊 thank you for watching every week we appreciate you! Have an awesome week ahead ❤

[@SummerGioia]

Oh wow!!!! These activities you chose are sooooo cool!!!!!!! And you film so beautifully with always your wonderful enthusiasm!!!! I loooove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@FoodandFootprints]

Great choice on the beach trail scenic loop. Look at those views! 😍😍

[@PeterandYen]

Amazing views from the get go! Such a cool experience on the bikes 😊

[@FoodandFootprints]

Up close encounters with the stingrays - so cool! And slimy 😂

[@PeterandYen]

So cool right! The dogs of the ocean 🐕

[@mariaandbryan]

Love how Yen was feeding the stingray. sooo cute!!

[@PeterandYen]

It was so funny and an odd sensation! A bit like a gentle vacuum sucking the fish out of my hand lol 😂 It was really cute! Just like sea puppies 😂

[@hemiwaiwai2945]

Wow thanx so much 4 the info im going to go do the rail adventure looks mean

[@PeterandYen]

Awesome Hemi! Let us know what you think of it after ☺️👌

[@TheWorldnUs]

Sting rays are so amazing! Great experience!! Love the Airbnb and how awesome are the bikes on the railway line. I’ve never seen something like that before.

[@PeterandYen]

All round good vibes n fun times in gizzy 😁🤙 good to share an experience that people haven't really seen too 👌

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

04:33 oh we didn't notice at all that you were cold during the activity. Yes! Warm noodle soup is the right choice! Looks yum!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yeah.. it is winter here after all. Usually 1 to 7 degrees on most of these vlogs 😅

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

That bike tour looked amazing. What a great way to see the sites!

[@PeterandYen]

Yea! Such a cool way to soak in the countryside then coastal views too. Even the tunnels were really cool ❤️😁 just an all-round awesome activity!

[@nickandhelmi]

VEGEMITE CHIPS SANDWICH 😅😅😅😅 what peter hahahah

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha childhood classic 👌

[@paulclark4988]

@@PeterandYen You must live in OZ if your eating Vegemite. I'm enjoying your videos.

[@MikkiShihTzu]

This looks super fun! Bike on tracks! 4 feeter exercise! You guys can take turn peddling if one gets tired! What a adventure !!

[@PeterandYen]

It was so much fun! It's waaaay harder if you bike by yourself. If you want an easy ride e bikes are the way to go ✌

[@izzyzhang6014]

Thanks for sharing, Peter and Yen. 💕 We have booked our rail-bike for September. Looking forward to the trip. 🥰 EASTWOODHILL ARBORETUM near Gisborne is another place I would like to check it up.

[@PeterandYen]

Awesome! Hope you guys enjoy the experience too. We saw pics of the arboretum and really wanted to go but it started pouring down with rain 🌧 we'll be back again to go there 😊 have fun let us know how you find it 👍

[@AlliandWill]

What a cool experience with the stingrays! Love that tandem bike too! Gotta try that with Will:)

[@PeterandYen]

Super cool! We really enjoyed both activities, such a unique experience both things! 😁👍

[@MikkiShihTzu]

That crunchy fried chicken and noodle soup sure looks really well! Never had this combination before but I'm dieing to try!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Really tasty and perfect after bracing the cold ocean 🍜🤤

[@FoodandFootprints]

Bikes on the train track is a cool idea! Nice lockdown special deal. “Peter wants the exercise” 😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha it was a hard slog even for me 😅 I think the e bike is a good option if you want to relax more 😂

[@mariaandbryan]

The intro is awesome! And Yen was making sure the Airbnb was left in good conditions Peter! lol

[@PeterandYen]

Ikr!! 😂 I'm always the checker between us two lol

[@mariaandbryan]

@@PeterandYen I am the checker too Yen lol and he also thinks I'm doing my make up 🤦🏻‍♀️😁😁

[@mariaandbryan]

Oh my, I bet you guys were hungry, no food until 3pm wow!! Lieles would have bitten my fingers or something lol The chicken soup looks phenomenal!! comfort food 😍😍🤤🤤

[@PeterandYen]

😂😂 ooo normally I (Yen) get hangry but I can also last a long time without eating too... so it's bad.. it's like dunno when the thunder will suddenly strike hahaha 😂

[@jordikeoni]

The rail bicycling adventure sounds fun; a good way to exercise as well. Hopefully, when in Gisborne, I get to experience it.

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙 sounds like you will choose the standard bike option like us hahaha yes totally an experience worth doing 😊

[@feedmeimei]

Haha I feel you Yen!! I feel like i'd be scared of squishing the fish too! I feel that way whenever I do those foot baths with the fish at the spa!

[@PeterandYen]

Lolol I can't even do those fish spa things ay but Peter has before! I think it helped that we wore waders.. felt protected lol 😅

[@PuriandSue]

It's so interesting you guys are lined up in such manner for this experience, it's so cool! Petting the stingrays, what an experience!!

[@PeterandYen]

2 super unique experiences in gisborne 😁✌

[@mariaandbryan]

Another amazing Airbnb guys, you guys have great taste. Yes agree with you, it is appreciated when the host leaves some treats. We also have gotten a few surprises, but didn't know in NZ is a ting across the board, that speaks highly of the hospitality of kiwis

[@PeterandYen]

It is really nice and unexpected to get any treats or even some milk, bread, jam, butter kinda thing but then when they leave home baking it's like oh wow so so cool 😍 It's really next level nice ay ❤️❤️ It's great you guys have had the same experiences too!

[@maraeacookson1573]

Thank you Peter and Yen, I come from and still live in Gizzy it was wonderful to watch this post through both your lenz. Take care, be safe, blessings of good health to you both and lots of great success in every area. 💙💓💙

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you Maraea! Glad you enjoyed our video 🙂 We had such an awesome time in Gizzy! Hopefully visit again some time 😊 You take care too and thanks for watching and commenting on our vid 👋

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Peter and Yen!! Love to see you on another part of our North Island Adventure! That's awesome you're going to see stingrays in the Ocean. Awww.. poor Yen is worried about the fish!! That's so awesome you can go right up to them at low tide!! So amazing that you can feed them too!! That's not a bad price for the experience in USD!! We would definitely enjoy something like that! Glad you were able to find a place to eat.. Fried rice looks tasty! Yens soup looks tasty too!! Your AirBnB has a great view from the bedroom!! We love when hosts leave snacks. A place we went to in Hawaii left us a full loaf of Banana Bread! We have NEVER seen Rail Bikes before, but these look like a heck of a lot of fun!! HAHAHA.. what a workout! That beach loop is stunning!! We love supporting local business. What an amazing adventure and thanks for taking us with you!! Lots of love to you guys and stay safe!

[@PeterandYen]

Hey girls 😁👋 hahaha apparently I'm not alone in this fish fear lolll and luckily none of the big fish came out that day but lots of small ones and when one touched my hand an involuntary yelp came out 😅😆 think I did ok all things given though 😆😆 wow a full loaf of banana bread would've been so awesome!! That's like an Airbnb jackpot lol 👍😁 love banana bread 🍞🍌 railbikes was incredible! And super cool that Geoff just randomly had the idea come to him one night then worked hard to turn the vision into reality ❤️☺️👍 take care you two!

[@mariaandbryan]

Chips in the sandwich is a great trick, we love that too, not with vegemite though (we haven't tried it) Peter was too busy droning he couldnt eat lol, well we truly appreciate the views

[@PeterandYen]

Hahah vegemite and marmite are two divisive spreads! You either love it or hate it really lol.. it's a very kiwi and aussie thing though! Yea dedication to the vlogging haha luckily we had the muesli from our Airbnb too so it was all easy and delicious to eat while cycling back. I had my butter and jam sammies and got to enjoy a lil break with the others in the group at least but Peter was busy working on getting us the drone shot after we had done all the other camera work 😁😁

[@philwojtowicz4632]

What a unique activity! The railbike adventure looks like a blast! Both activities seemed like a good value.

[@PeterandYen]

Totally great value and not something we've seen offered anywhere else in New Zealand 👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

05:44 wow! That's very nice of them. It would be a pleasant surprise to find some food in the refridgerator. 🤣

[@PeterandYen]

Kiwi hospitality is so good 😊👍

[@Thirstytraveler41]

Great activities! I love it....I can't wait to see the next ones....

[@PeterandYen]

😁✌ only one left and unfortunately NZ is locked down again 😅

[@RudyVisuals]

Wooow the stingrays are sooo cool! Wera always calls them fishy angels hahaha

[@PeterandYen]

Too cute! 😁😁

[@FoodandFootprints]

So cool that they made use of the destroyed rail tracks and turned it into a great attraction

[@PeterandYen]

Some great kiwi ingenuity right there 👌

[@MindofPaka]

*Amazing breakfast full of good views for my Sunday* 😉

[@PeterandYen]

Hey bro 👋 hope you've been well 👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Gisborne looks like another spot that would be great to visit in the Summer. Look at the palm trees! Has a bit of an LA look to it

[@PeterandYen]

Gisborne is normally a very popular summer destination there's another place where you slide down natural rock formations. A bit too cold for winter but super cool activity for summer 😎

[@mariaandbryan]

We are loving all your drone shots in the last videos, they make us feel free 😍😍

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys! NZ is too darn pretty ❤️😁

[@jolintruong6263]

Look awesome, beautiful landscape!

[@PeterandYen]

You'll have to try this one day Thu 🙂👍

[@PuriandSue]

Boba... boba everywhere! :P So sweet of the owners to leave some snacks for you guys in the Airbnb! More reason to go to Kiwiland!

[@PeterandYen]

Yen's happy as long as she can get her boba fix 🤤 yeah the owners here are so nice those extra treats are really tasty

[@jen-heartofglass7339]

OK, this is beyond awesome💕 How did it feel when the stingray ate from your hand? I should learn not to watch your videos on an empty stomach. Your food choices are always so yummy. E-bike for me😂 My thighs hurt just from watching you two. But it looks like so much fun. Bless your hearts for then doing the stairs. Love the stories you find and share about the ancestors. Sending lots of love.

[@PeterandYen]

Kia ora Jen 👋 feeding the sting ray's is kinda like feeding a really hungry dog a steak 😅 vacuum the meat right from your hand. They felt so interesting too. Hahaha... yeah e bike might be the way to go could definitely feel it the next day 😂 yen especially enjoys reading about the stories of the ancestors glad you're enjoying them too. Much love back have an amazing week! ❤

[@RudyVisuals]

OMG those bikes look so awesome!! Would be so funny to see them off the rail tracks, imagine two people trying to steer with them!

[@PeterandYen]

😂😂 they're really cool ay! Haven't really seen something like this before and love that Geoff just thought up the idea randomly one night then worked to make his vision come true!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Great way to end the video with a beautiful view!

[@PeterandYen]

😍✌🌿

[@kimipardoe1650]

That's incrediable we're from Gisborne didn't know about the rail bike going home next month we're going to give it a shot ..... thank you!

[@PeterandYen]

😁👍 nice hope you guys enjoy the experience. Let us know what you thought about it afterwards ✌

[@stevee7556]

Oh yeah. Glad you went to Dive Tatapouri. Amazing experience. Good to see quite a few people in your group as well. I did it last year in spring and there was only 3 of us doing it. Great for us but not so good for the operators. That rail bike adventure looks fantastic as well. Great views. Next time you're in Gizzy try Neighbourhood Pizzeria. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Look forward to your Rotorua adventures. 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Ooooo neighborhood pizzeria! Gonna write that down yen n i both love a good pizza 🍕 we were at dive tatapouri during school holidays which might explain why it was particularly busy. They mentioned that normally they were getting 10 to 30 people that week which is good though considering it's winter 😁👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

2:30 hello! Stingray! Omg it's so cute. I (hyekyong) always remember them as a smily face fish based on what I saw in aquariums 😅 It's first time to see them this close ! I would be super excited.

[@PeterandYen]

They really do feel like puppies of the sea, curious always hungry and very friendly 😍

[@mariaandbryan]

That is awesome, love the experience of being with marine life. Stingrays are so beautiful, I call them the ballerinas of the sea Oh no Yen is scared of fish, Lieles agrees with you, you are not alone

[@PeterandYen]

Aw that's a cute name haha.. rudy visuals was saying they call them fishy angels 😁 YAS Lieles!! #teamscaredoffishesinthesea hahahahah 😂😂 I think I've counted maybe 4 of us from the comments so far (and that includes us both lollll)

[@mariaandbryan]

@@PeterandYen 🤣🤣🤣

[@rlim9947]

The crispy chicken noodle soup has made me hungry already. Beautiful views around the railway track. Can't wait till tomorrow morning to watch this video again, on my new Samsung 24" monitor downstairs, in HD mode. Excellent video guys.

[@PeterandYen]

😁 enjoy the video on the new monitor

[@PuriandSue]

You guys did so much workout in this e[isode haha!! All those cyclings and climbing up the hill! But the view is amazing!! Glad you guys manage to squeeze in this into your itinerary!

[@PeterandYen]

Thankfully the weather held up for us 😅 so lucky. It's such a memorable experience we were super happy to do it. The exercise for the views was totally worth it 😁

[@catherinekhoo474]

Very interesting n looks like lots of fun too esp the bike ride n feeding stingrays...love it .😍😍😍

[@PeterandYen]

Really think you'd enjoy the bike ride mum ❤️❤️😁 I think you gotta round up some of your buddies and just go! You'll feel an awesome sense of achievement after you complete the journey (even if you do just use the ebikes hahah)

[@nickandhelmi]

Helmi would love this bike activity - cause she cant steer a normal bike hahah

[@PeterandYen]

😂 helmi....

[@nickandhelmi]

Yen room tour 👍😁 - place is nice and comfy - its like a nice granny flat

[@PeterandYen]

Yeah! Exactly 💯

[@justinpreid]

Gisborne is fantastic in the summer too guys! Sunny and great beaches

[@PeterandYen]

Can totally imagine! Beautiful beaches and the rock slides 😍

[@makovixen81]

This is so adorable, I was born here but didn't know of such hidden treasures!!! You guys have inspired me to visit these places sometime

[@PeterandYen]

😁 gizzy is an awesome spot, hoping to come back again in the summer. Thanks for watching the video

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The railbike is awesome guys! We wish to do it in the future after watching this video, when we have a chance to visit NZ again. Hahaha 4 hour bike ride is not your usual ride bike for sure 😁 I would be tired like yen too in the first 20 mins. The stingray feeding looks like another awesome activity too. Ahhh we love seeing unusual and unique activities video like this. Awesome work guys!! 👍🏻

[@PeterandYen]

Your list for NZ must be growing quite long now ay? Hahaha hope you guys can try it out next time you're back here. It's a really unique and awesome experience. Yea that first 20 mins was a bit of a shocker to my system lollll 😂😂 I got better after though when my body remembered what it was like to exercise hahaha but yep.. there were a few moments even though I was peddling Peter was like.. are you even peddling properly?! LOL 😂 Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed this vlog 😁👍

[@chrisandjaneonnarrowboatpo3917]

A great great fantastic video. Really enjoyed watching your video. Hope you have a great Monday. Many thanks from chris 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Chris 😁👍 Same to you!

[@nickandhelmi]

Omg the railway cycle 😱, that is an incredible sight and activity! So happy we got to see it first via whatsapp 😏! Were you using the gopro or the fuji during the cycle 😬, them views , sheep

[@PeterandYen]

Amazing cycle right! We used the Fuji for the majority of the shots but the gopro was used for when we did the scenes riding over the tracks just to change it up 😁👌

[@RudyVisuals]

Loved this episode guys!

[@PeterandYen]

Thank guys! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️

[@PS_Travels]

We did the railbikes in July and loved it! Geoff has such a passion for the project.

[@PeterandYen]

It's so awesome ay! Which track did you guys do? Geoff is such a nice bloke 🙂👍🚲🚲

[@PS_Travels]

@@PeterandYen We did the same as you did. We empathised with you as 10 minutes in we regretted not going for the e-bike 😂 He was great, can recommend this to anyone.

[@PeterandYen]

😂 we're all healthier cause of the bad decisions we made that day 🚲

[@PS_Travels]

@@PeterandYen It made the descent feel earned!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahah it really did! 😁👍👍

[@MrJadeDoel]

You forgot to mention that Gisborne is the first city in the entire world to witness the dawning of a new day ☺

[@PeterandYen]

Aaaa how did we forget to mention that on the video 😅

[@NitspilsChannel]

Wow so nice. Its look like a long drive. Keep safe.

[@PeterandYen]

Very long drive but well worth the visit 👍

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Back in Puerto Rico, there are a couple of places where you can swim with the stingrays and it's such a unique experience. Yen, don't be scared! That soup looks especially good. You guys find the cutest Airbnbs. Hosts here need to learn how to treat guests with food. Haha Oh man... that bike tour is super unique. Would love to do that one day. Loving the drone shots guys. Beautiful editing too.

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys ✌ both the activities were pretty new and exciting for us 😁 made for a fun experience and a fun vlog too 👌

[@trywithchris]

Thats a great experience to feed the sting rays, also great excrise on the bike

[@PeterandYen]

Two very unique activities in gisborne plus a whole bunch more in gisborne we didn't get to film cause our stay was too short 😅

[@mariaandbryan]

Love the shot at 9:15 with you guys going towards the camera!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks! We spent our lunch break taking all the different camera angle shots hahah 😂 Got some great ones in that we really liked so thanks for noticing! ❤️😁

Hahaha glad we could help! 😁 Let us know if you've got any local favourites though coz we're def keen to visit Napier again maybe in summer next time 😁

[@ladeenheke1433]

Thank you guys so much for showing me this adventure of railway on bikes here in Gizzy that I didn't even know we had, mow must try it out

[@PeterandYen]

Hello Ladeen 👋☺️ seems like this activity is a bit of a hidden gem! Quite a few people from Gizzy have commented the same thing ☺️ Hope you'll enjoy it 👍🚲🛤️

[@RudyVisuals]

Hahaha we always do panic last minute AirBnb/hotel checks too! And then repeat 4 or 5 times before actually leaving 😂

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahah just gotta be extra sure ay coz really don't want to leave anything behind plus gotta make sure everything is all good for the host 😁

[@suzi2084]

one of the bonuses of having a campervan, can't really leave anything behind lol

[@PeterandYen]

Haha that's true Suzi! 😁👍

[@ptrevino7684]

Good tourist destination...Thank you Peter& Yen.I bet your legs where sore Yen ,That's a long bike ride

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yea a lil achey but surprisingly not as bad as I thought they would be the next day. Nothing like when I use to go gym all the time and after squat day can barely walk 😂😂😂

[@HangryByNature]

i agree with pete, Yen you're the only person scared of fish hahha wooooow this looks like such an awesome experience!! We touched some in Osaka and it's soooo wierd and slimey. The railbike ride is soooo unique. aaaw we will have to wait for the boys to get bigger before we can enjoy that. Vegemite and chips WTF!!!! what flavour chips were they too? Great idea to use the rails like that.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha what? You never had vegemite and chips? Surely that's an aussie thing too right? No just us kiwis indulging in those flavors? 😂 try it out its delicious. Make sure they're chicken chips though. Surprisingly according to a few comments on here there are quite a few ppl scared of em fishes 😅 wouldn't have guessed that

[@tooks7177]

I really enjoyed that video guy's, that stingray looked like an alien and reminded me of a dog...I wonder what it taste like? lol. The railbike adventure ride - what a great idea - make exercise fun...I could feel the stiffness in my leg muscles watching you guy's, especially the composed look on Yen's face during the bike ride...hehehe...God bless her. Peter my man - it's been awhile since I last ate a vegemite & chip sandwich...that was a nostalgic moment for me, as was the scenic bike ride (and the 'port-a-loo' in the countryside, hahaha). Anyway, like I said in the beginning "I really enjoyed that video". Thanks Peter & Yen.

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Tooks! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁 It does kinda look like an alien ay haha and yea it did behave a bit like a dog. The guides were talking about how playful some of them are. They do seem to enjoy the petting coz it helps to clean them apparently lol. I dunno if these particular species of stingray are edible but the ones we've had before it just kinda tastes like a cross between fish and chicken 😅 Hahahah oh my goodness there were some bits we had to do "catch ups" to the groups in front coz we would widen the space between us and them to get nicer shots (plus they were all on ebikes so it was much easier for them cruise along) but then we'd have to make sure we didn't fall too far behind too so had some go hard moments 😂😂 got a good workout for sure! The vegemite & chip sandwiches made for a great snack if only it wasn't soggy 😅 luckily had the homemade muesli too 😁

[@nickandhelmi]

Haha thats so cool! I wish they give me a wager too? Is that what you call it? I probably called it the farmer pants that somehow is waterproof! 🤣👍, yes its like a seapuppy aye yen - slimy 😎

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha 😂 farmer pants 👖🤣 dunno how you come up with these but thinking about it they may come in handy sometimes on the farm 🤔

[@harrycurrie9664]

Waders ... and be careful you don't get water in them ... you'll sink. 😒

[@PeterandYen]

I hope you didn't have that happen to you Harry 😅

[@nickandhelmi]

Harry Currie hahah

[@ihaka70377]

Lovely stuff. Nice work on some of those camera shots 📷

Thank you Joseph! Glad you enjoy them, we're gonna be locked down in Auckland a couple of weeks while this thing gets under control 🤞

Wondered what gisborne was like, great video! 👍

[@PeterandYen]

Cheers man 👍 It was a cool place, prob even better in summer but we enjoyed our winter visit and loved the activities 😁👍

[@EatorTreat]

Hey guys! Another amazing vlog that showcases the beautiful views there! Particularly loved the experience with the stingrays! You always seem to have delicious food and stay at beautiful airbnbs! That bike ride looks super fun... but super tiring! haha, I personally also haven't done much exercise like Yen so that bike ride would have made my legs feel like jelly! The views are spectacular though! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and take care, Alditha

[@PeterandYen]

Hi Alditha 👋 always good to hear from you 😊 it's ok if your fitness isn't good you can always hire the e bikes the others who were using them looked like they were just cruising on by without much effort at all 😁 sting ray's were so cute 😍 nice views, good company n tasty food dunno if you can ask for too much more from life 😊

Another awesome video guys, can't wait for your next Rotorua video. Have to say, your Suzuki Swift is getting some serious mileage in it with all the driving and traveling.

[@PeterandYen]

😅 yeah the poor swift is cracking a bit with all this driving. Got a leak in the boot which we needa get sorted on Monday. Then it's time to think about the next trip 🤔😊

[@NateVlog1]

Woooow what an adventure ! 😍👍🏻

[@PeterandYen]

😁🤙 yes totally had an awesome time

[@missymason2377]

Love love this show...👍❤

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks Missy 😁💕

[@TinanaDIY]

omg I am the same Yen! When I went to Raro and did the snorkling, I literally had to hype myself up to jump in, but once I was in, I was fine. That is so cool that you get to see the stingrays without fully getting in the water, esp at this time of the year. WOW, so cool! That raik bike looked awesome! I may need an ebike though, super unfit!

[@PeterandYen]

Aww good on you! That is super brave!! 💕💕 It was really cool getting to interact with the stingrays out in their own natural environment. Great experience and railbikes was super cool too! Hahaha no shame in getting the ebikes 😁👍💕 Def an awesome activity to try out and ebikes would be nice and cruisy for sure ✌️🚲🚲🛤️

[@bhanani5480]

Heeeeey!!! I love how you like marmite and chip sandwiches, very kiwi filling. But you don't put your chips in until you are ready to eat yr sandwich for ultimate crunch. Your travels makes me want to travel and see more of NZ 🥰 And I'm really impressed with your pronouncing of Māori names, top notch guys, new fan and subscriber 👍👍

[@PeterandYen]

Grew up on marmite and chip sandwiches 😁 yeah... I was deciding between sleeping in the morning or soggy chips I made a poor decision 😂 thank you for joining the channel appreciatec your support 😊 ✌

[@bhanani5480]

@@PeterandYen Whaaaat, thats so cool that you grew up on marmite and chip sandwiches, I'm just shocked cos marmite is definitely not everybody's cup of tea, and at least you know now to just prep yr sandwich w/out yr chips the night before. Awesome that you are supporting small businesses as well promoting them. I'm looking forward to watching your previous videos 👍👍👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

So nice that the AirBnb hosts hook you up with some goodies

[@PeterandYen]

🤤 food is always welcome

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Yen..feedmeimei..and hungry Panda was to get together to do a bubble tea episode would be so epic ahhaha

[@PeterandYen]

[@PuriandSue]

Omg so cool!! You just need to cycle without steering, my kind of cycle (Sue), I'm a little scared of bikes coz I can't steer well

[@PeterandYen]

😂 nick says helmi is the same. Tandem biking is totally for you two

[@svennz00]

[@PeterandYen]
