Some gnarly towing but, the sea food is worth it.

[@DaveHarrisNZ]

I was in Blenheim and I saw you drive past me and by the time I realised it was you it was too late to call out, but I’m now kicking myself! My 7yo daughter and I watch every episode together, thanks for the inspiration

[@leopardsgowild]

Oh thats so cool mate. Well we will be back your way in a few days if Blenheim is home, keep an eye on our facebook or Instagram stories and you can come say hey... We cross back to the North Island soon

[@katrinatikey4513]

What an amazing childhood your kids are having! The drone and underwater footage is awesome, and so is your choice of music. I like your family birthday tradition of choosing the day's meals. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@leopardsgowild]

thanks we have some great adventures, always help when the conditions are right, and we get a spot so good we can do everything from our campsite... Thanks for watching.

[@tinyhousehybrid5210]

Cool spot thanks for sharing! Those eels! Well done for swimming with them!

[@leopardsgowild]

ha ha cheers team, Toby the only one crazy enough... I didn't even know he was in the thick of it, I knew he was watching, but boom there he is scooping them up lol

[@willieforbes5284]

Awesome video again

[@leopardsgowild]

Thanks mate, this is up there as one of the best, for the activities, the scenery is great, but can't compete with the seafood.

[@foxro48]

Another great video. Thanks so much. Enjoyed watching kids really having a ball. What an amazing experience they are having and everlasting memories. Belated birthday wishes and good to see you having a wonderful birthday. Travel safe. 🌞🤗🌞

[@leopardsgowild]

Oh thank you, it was a great birthday, and what a summers day for it. Kids have had so much fun with their friends, what a cool adventure.

[@karenhealey935]

We live in Blenheim and really must go and stay at Whites Bay as it is on our doorstep. You are right about the drive in.

[@leopardsgowild]

yea it's always hard to get to the places on your door step aye... Seems easier to get to the spots 2 - 5 hours away lol/

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for sharing the adventure!

[@leopardsgowild]

Our pleasure!

[@GarthHaylock]

Awesome showcase of my back yard spots, such a great area especially when the weather is that good.

[@leopardsgowild]

mate so much to do in this region its amazing.

[@stefanwaitokia7560]

We did this drive in our camper van no power steering hahaha sore arms

[@leopardsgowild]

It's an adventure on its own heading out that rd, I think i spent half the time crossing the centre line so I didn't hit the bank with the caravan

[@CHillAdventures]

happy bday ,mike!!!!! youre a great dad and a awesome dude!!! you and soph have given your kids something that will be with them forever!!!! great episode! beautiful as always! awesome place to jump off rocks!!!!! hope all is well out there in Neverland!!!! cheers Leopards!!!!!!!!

[@leopardsgowild]

Thanks Cam, kids have been getting higher and higher up on the rocks the last couple of weeks causing me stress as they risk life and limb for the thrills, can't be any worse than surfing on a frozen lake though... See ya soon bro.

[@PentaxLife]

Great video guys. You have to remember 50% of Canadians love PAUA Those kids are crazy. I'd freak out with my kids jumping like that. But I guess I used to do it. happy birthday mike

[@leopardsgowild]

yep we won't forget how much 50% of Canadians Love Paua. Hope mexico is going well, i'm sure you have had some stunning days.

[@steezykiwi]

[@teshiaselwyn2824]

Can't wait to do this with my son! Love your channel and adventures in our beautiful country 😊

[@leopardsgowild]

It's great fun, and lovely slow paced life, we love not having to be out of the house in the morning to start a busy day... We do live in a great country for exploring around.

[@birdtherapy2601]

Port Underwood the drive is spectacular not a great deal of point trying to go quick you miss too much . Easy to forget hustle and bustle of cities . Thanks for rebooting my memory.

[@leopardsgowild]

Yea it's a cool spot, road was a bit messed up after all that Christmas Traffic I reckon.

[@user-le7ld5sg2d]

Great video again Mike, we loved it at Whites Bay, will have to go over to Robin Hood bay next time, looks like. Great spot too!

[@leopardsgowild]

def worth a trip over to Robin hood bay, I'm keen to check out some of the other bays next time we are in the area.

[@Lisamitchell-jm4kc]

Amazing life for your kids ❤

[@leopardsgowild]

amazing life for us all mate, love this life style, glad we still have a home in Rotorua we can return to one day if we ever stop.

[@catherinecarr3506]

What an awesome summer you’re having although I seem to remember last summer was pretty great for you guys last year too. Looking forward to seeing where you go in 2024 :)

[@leopardsgowild]

Yea been a fantastic summer so far, except for this current cold patch oh man it's chilly today... Last summer was great once we hit the south Island we were in the summerless North till Mid January. hopefully when we come to the North Island soon, the summer sun is shining on us.

[@Teresa-mu4kw]

Awesome video the Bridsons and the Leopards!!! I love this beautiful country we live in, I love all the adventures you are all having together, and a big Rā Whānau to you Mike, you truly are eating like kings and queens, the children look so grown up! Sophie and Jen and Jamie must definitely be enjoying summer together!! Arohanui from me❤️

[@leopardsgowild]

Thank you Teresa, we really enjoyed our time with them, so glad we had good weather with the Bridsons, makes such a difference when your spending loads of time outside.

[@markbennett9597]

Went there last week (Robin Hood)Thanks to guys like you putting this stuff on the internet all the dishonest paua poachers now know where to go.. 🙄🙄95 % Of those paua you just showed were gone (good on ya mate)!!!

[@leopardsgowild]

Not even because this videos only been up a day, so they can't be gone yet, plus I saw a video from a guy showing the same thing 2 years ago, hes had way more views I don't think it's a secret. Especially cause I did a video here a year ago... mate plenty of videos online about diving, all over NZ nothing special here

[@RadRoadAdventures]

Nice shot at the end at Pinders Pond. What an awesome summer trip with friends, we would have liked Robin Hood Bay to have been those conditions when we were there. It looked far more inviting. Loved the rock jumping and building dams

[@leopardsgowild]

Its a cool spot, no where is good in the wind... Summer days are the best... I don't think we have shot from pinders pond in here???

[@angelamcdougall983]

I love this spot we will be returning one day soon, once again thanks for sharing your journey with your awesome family, nothing like teaching your children how to survive

[@leopardsgowild]

its an awesome spot alright, got all the things we like to do here, swim, jump, snorkel, hike great area for kids to explore as well.

[@gregorylongmuir4036]

Has to be 1 of my favorite doc camps so glad I found this place perfect to stop in bfor the ferry ride back north

[@leopardsgowild]

Yea it's awesome here, this was our first stop when we came down south last year, thought it was a great spot to spend time with our friends.

[@richardkim475]

Happy Birthday Mike! Looks like you had a fantastic day. My family loves your video and just wondering where do you get those amazing music from??

[@leopardsgowild]

hey mate, was an epic day, always nice having a birthday with the sun shining and being at the beach aye... Music is all off a subscription i pay for called musicbed, anyone can jump on there and find the music, I generally use folk as my Genre.

[@stefanwaitokia7560]

Hey brother glad I've found your videos this is the life style I'm hoping for with my kids , question, how do I do it

[@leopardsgowild]

Hey mate big question we've got a video way back of how we planned it all, you might need to go back a couple of years I think it's called how we plan to pay for full time travel... I'm thinking out a video with my ideas for how anyone could do it, we've talked to a lot of people on the rd and everyone does it different... but you need to make a plan, make dome sacrifices, set a date... for us it took 3 years to get on the road

[@kevinpalmer1249]

Awesome vlog post and White’s Bay is a fantastic spot. We enjoyed our (brief) stay there too. Nice to meet you.

[@leopardsgowild]

Yea it's great spot alright, thanks for coming over to say hey, nice meeting people that watch and especially comment. Cheers mate, hope the rest of your trip went well, and hope the training for Tarawera is going well.

[@caravantheworld]

[@leopardsgowild]

thanks guys a great spot, we love it here. Def a place to go if you love seafood.

[@caravantheworld]

Robinhood bay is a awesome place

[@leopardsgowild]

[@shanedavies9564]

Such a great spot , cheers , shaneo, Nelson, 👍🍺

[@leopardsgowild]

Another great vid mate .I live in Nelson iam now going to camp at White's Bay when it's not so busy look's great for a quick weekend camp .There are no hot shower's aye?

[@leopardsgowild]

Its a great spot alright, I'd say it would be pretty easy to get in there now. You can book this site on line, it does get used pretty often by the locals who tow out for the weekend.

Awesome video guys! Have you been out to Totaranui Camp ground at Able Tasman National Park? Its beautiful. Id recommend it 😊

[@leopardsgowild]

Popped out for a day trip without the caravan beautiful area alright quite a difficult spot to access with a large caravan. First takaka hill then the hill over to totaranui

[@richellewilliams-y2w]

@@leopardsgowild Yeah we watched a few people take it very easy over the hill in big caravans and campers before. But heck yeah, it's definitely worth the visit and for staying over and the massive golden beach for swimming and some awesome bush walks.

[@CHillAdventures]

5:06 😍🤪

[@leopardsgowild]

ha ha Soph said the same thing... I don't know if you have noticed her trolling comment on every video where I give a trolling response.

[@davekerr8133]

Isn't that area so beautiful. I'm gob smacked at the plentiful mussels & paua there. That was another great post. Thanks

[@leopardsgowild]

Yea it was awesome to see somewhere this far North that you could still get a really good feed without having to go miles out to sea, which I would never do... Great spot.

[@hopaea7]

Always eating you lot! And always activities - do you ever just sit around and do nothing?

[@leopardsgowild]

Well sometimes we like to sunbath in our bikinis which is nice. we only eat when we can get free food, was hard to get the rice, but we found a rice field and helpped ourselves.

[@CherryWilson-pf3pq]

What are you towing with

[@leopardsgowild]

@@CherryWilson-pf3pq Hilux sr5

[@CherryWilson-pf3pq]

@leopardsgowild I do too. Getting a new Aussie caravan next month and just checking my Hilux is going to do the job. 2wd that can 4wd if needed.
