This is THE CATLINS! New Zealand | Reveal NZ Ep. 22

Reveal New Zealand Ep 22 in the depths of the South Island. We're exploring in the Catlins, Nugget Point Lighthouse, Nugget Point Lighthouse, Purakanui Falls, Curio Bay, the Petrified Forest and finally travel down to Bluff for the famous Bluff Oysters! It's a BIG few days...⬇ More Below ⬇
This is the largest vlog from this New Zealand road trip and travel vlog series so far! We're in the depths of the South Island exploring The Catlins initially. It's an area well known for it's incredible landscapes full of natural beauty, rare and endangered wildlife, rainforests, sandy beaches and waterfalls. It's home to Nugget Point and one of New Zealand's oldest lighthouses, Nugget Point Lighthouse.
This is such an enormous vlog that typing out everything in the video would take longer than the edit itself haha. But if you're reading this for information on what, where, how, why etc feel free to leave a comment and we'll get back to you.
But in short we also:
- walk the Purakanui track which is only a 10 minute walk down to the Purakanui Falls
- Stay at Curioscape campgrounds at Curio Bay
- Explore the coast line and the Petrified Forest
- Drive down to the bottom of New Zealand to a spot known as Bluff, to taste the famous Bluff Oysters
Reveal NZ is a 20+ part video series, so make sure you're subscribed to follow along with all episodes here: goo.gl/SWdJQH More than just taking a motorhome around New Zealand, it's about how to travel New Zealand, the top tourist spots, the hidden local gems, incredible day trips, extreme activities, amazing accommodation and a spot of wining and dining... It's about making you feel like you're along for the travels with us, so grab a drink of your poison, sit back and get ready for 5 weeks driving in a campervan hire from Auckland to The Catlins.

Purakaunui Falls 👍🏼 Native Bush - the weather is what it is...😊

[@RexWaldron]

Another epic episode guys! That wild landscape, the crazy wind, the sketchy slippery road, the fossilised forest and those incredible oysters 👌 What a contrast this experience is to your Thailand videos of a few years back. I reckon your series is the best advert for New Zealand out there and their tourist board should be giving you a call! 👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

The polar opposite of our Thailand vlogs! Thanks Rex, always appreciate your kind words. Thank you for showing your constant support!!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Haircut looks great Daneger! Love watching your vlogs, you both are so fun and pleasant. Even when things don't go the way you hope, you're still chipper and upbeat. LOVED seeing Purakanui falls through you guys! So beautiful!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Stephanie! Seriously the most epic waterfall we've ever seen.

[@colinthew3282]

Thank you Stacey and Dane. I've loved your video tour. I plan on my own campervan tour of NZ, and especially getting to spend quality time re-visiting the South Island, many many years after moving north.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That sounds amazing, we hope you have an incredible trip!

[@philipguacci6452]

I heard of Bluff Oysters in an ad for NZ lotto. This was on TV2, yes I got addicted to Shortland Street in Rarotonga since my 1997 visit. It was great to see the very blowy south of the South Island. Great video. Cheers guys. From Philip in Melbourne.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hahah good old Shorty Street, can't believe it's still going strong!

[@JillianFriedlander-et6dt]

Bull kelp - carved and made into balls. Curio Bay is very special. Jack’s Bay and Tautakui Beach is where the main penguin colonies are x

[@paulcalkin7960]

Once again great show and I really miss the oysters

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cant beat Bluff oysters! Thank you 😁

[@Jim-ub9qy]

Stunningly great video! The two of you are just the best together especially filming and narrating a travel VLOG. Once again...awesome slow mo video that was absolutely captivating. Drone shots that captured the coastline and music to blend it all together. And oysters...heck yeah. Well done beautiful ones!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Jim! You're always so kind - means a lot to us!

[@helenvictoria8880]

Love love your videos! 💖

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thank you SO much!

[@zoemorrison07]

I’m terrified of trying an oyster so big props to Stacey for trying that!! Well done hun! 😂👏🏼

[@_Claire_Louise_]

That petrified forest is so cool!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It was awesome!! Never seen anything like it before.

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

Everything in this episode reminded me so much of Scotland. The sheep with lambs, there being no where to eat because the odd place that does exist was shut, the crazy winds, raw wild beaches and coastlines, the seafood, something tells me I'll like the deep south when I make it there! Sad to know it's coming to an end soon though 😞

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely reminded us a bit of Lewis & Harris in Scotland! So sad it's officially over but hopefully next year will bring more adventures.

[@yourhighness9191]

I don't know why but I feel so annoyed for you guys this video hasn't been up for more then a day and already has 2 dislikes it's so unnecessary for people to show that they dislike something i loved the video btw I've been a subscriber for ages, love it❤️

[@KaymarKreations]

I totally agree... These guys are awesome ❤️😊

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thank you for being such a loyal subscriber!! You're the people we care about ❤️

[@jenniferhirst2130]

We did out trip from the Scottish Borders to NZ in April / May 2019, we loved it. Your Vlogs have been a great way to look back especially while we are in another lockdown. We went to Nugget Point and stayed at Curio Bay, we saw a penguin! Taking the video from the spot you were stood at lamenting not seeing them. We have a video if you are interested. Keep up the great channel, restrictions allowing!

[@GoTaranaki]

Have really enjoyed your New Zealand series. I am really glad you came to Taranaki too.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We really need to come back to the Naki so we can get a proper look at Mt Taranaki!

[@loniallorenz2009]

OYSTERS !!!! Can't get enough of them, especially since we are landlocked in the state of Ohio. They fly them in, but it's never the same as at the shore. Great roadtrip you two, well done !

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sounds like you would LOVE the Bluff Oysters!! Thank you 😁

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wow the wind waterfall was beautiful 🥰 that seaweed how unusual🤔 i am not a fan of oysters infact many seafoods. Aww your Trip coming for the end its been absoluut an amazing stunning adventure of your beautiful country Thank you so much for taking us along 😜 Stay safe.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

The seaweed really did feel like a rubber tyre, so strange! We so appreciate each and everyone of your comments throughout the series!

[@David-le7jy]

Oh maaan, I'm really homesick now! I practically used to live at Curio Bay campsite and surf all around the Catlins. Best surfing beach break in NZ (of course I'm biased). Great vid, thank you. Now I want a dozen Bluff oysters for breakfast...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Aww sorrryyyyy!!! Maybe don't watch the end of the next video then 🙈 Hope you can make that oyster brekkie happen!

[@salanicus]

Your sing a long was a joy;) This is another amazing 💎 of a discovery. Seriously, you two are the best NZ ambassadors. When you visit us in New Orleans you'll LOVE the char grill oysters at our famous Drago's. $12 for 12 is the ultimate deal. Best wishes, James and Kim

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😂 Our vocals need a bit of work! That sounds like an awesome deal. I (Stacey) absolutely loved New Orleans, one of my favourite parts of the USA. Can't wait to take Dane there someday.

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Great video, very impressive scenery once again. Glad Aston survived the high winds, did look kind of scary making your way along some of those roads. Good that you both enjoyed the oysters in the end: another fear faced for Stacey, haha. I've only had cooked oyster myself, but would definitely give those raw ones a try.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So are we! Poor Astons been through a lot, first we nearly crashed him into a bridge and now this 😂

[@travelertrome8449]

I love oysters and prefer them raw with a few drops of japanese ponzu sauce on it and nothing else. And I love chewing them. Delicious! I continue to be amazed how you are finding places that have nobody around! Those waves looked treacherous by the way. But a rugged beauty like Big Sur here in California. Loved the vlog and series!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ooh now that's something I could get behind with a bit of ponzu!

[@CloudSurfingG]

Daneger and Stacey, I am so happy to have found your Channel. Your videos are absolutely awesome. I have been to New Zealand 8 times, from the very tip of the North Island to Invercargill and many places in between. I love your spectacular country! Keep up the great work, the videos are giving me more inspiration to visit other places when the boarders reopen and I can land there once again......is the QF Tavern on Queen Street still trading?.... I love that bar!! Best Wishes, stay safe from here in Liverpool, England.

[@Love_rainy_days]

Oysters looked great,🍽 thanks for the great video, I am loving NZ 🥝 Happy Holidays from the USA 🧔

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Tom! Appreciate that - sending good vibes to the USA!

[@tombesson7293]

Oysters? I am so over oysters. You know the old saw where oysters are supposed to make you all sexy and virile? Don't believe it! I ate 12 of them once, and only 8 of them worked.

[@Love_rainy_days]

@@DanegerAndStacey Thank You need up the great Videos'

[@jonlowing7907]

Hey, you two, great vid and beautiful scenery. The access track and falls are almost a carbon copy of Russel Falls in Tasmania. You should check it out. If memory serves, there might even be some 'tunnel' canopy to satisfy your craving!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ooh that's super interesting, thank you for the tips!

[@kiwi_geegee2135]

Welcome to my home Southland. Weather looked good that's why I live in Qld.lol

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😂😂😂 Great call leaving... Kidding!

[@cmcimagesmedia]

DONT DO THAT!!!!! 🤣. #manlyscream hahaha. What a cool place a preserved beach forest. Very cool. Some big seas and rough land love that kind of location. What trip you have had. Although been a lack of hot tubs in the south islands 🤣. Again it looks spectacular place.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

😂 We were verrrryyyy passionate about the conservation of the petrified forest. The south really needs to sort their lack of hot tubs out - especially since it's actually cold down there!

[@cruiznnz]

Wow you travelled all the way down to Bluff and didn't try Mutton Birds. I'm drooling at the thought. Boil Up or even Roasted yummmmmmmm I realise it may have been the wrong season but all you need to do is ask a Local. They're all mighty friendly and are probably as proud of the birds as they are their Osters. Did I mention I'm drooling at the thought hmmmmm

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Next time then haha! We need a reason to go back down anyway so we can head over to Stewart Island as well!

[@jennasuri4035]

Dane’s little “ahhh!” when he slipped 😅

[@DanegerAndStacey]

He makes the best sound effects 😂

[@frasertaylor7482]

My uncle emigrated to Kaka Point from Scotland in the 1920s - I still have family there. Hope to visit sometime, especially after watching this! :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's so cool! What a remote part of the world to emigrate to! Hopefully you get to visit sometime soon :)

[@louismartin8593]

Wow very good lunch

[@rob1971]

You had much better weather in The Catlins than I've ever had! I'll have to do the falls and Nugget Point next time I'm there though 👍🏻

[@tonybennett4159]

I can vouch that the Catlins can get good spells of weather : we were there one March and it was great.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We were expecting it to be worse but the wind definitely took us by surprise!

[@oneniteinmay]

We toured NZ in April / May 2019 and did many of the same places you did in the South Island... We stayed at Curio and went to Nugget Point... We saw the penguins, we have a video if you are interested, taken right from where you stood, lamenting about not seeing them!!!

[@nickbenfell4327]

I rode most of those roads on my motorbike in similar winds - interesting!!!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Woah!! Cant imagine what that was like.

[@Skiwi51]

So pleased you ventured this far south...we had a holiday home at Nugget point, you passed it on the way to the lighthouse and I've spent many holidays there as a child.. Bluff oysters are the best in the world, pleased you got there, however, disappointed you didn't spend time in Invercargill...it's not the toilet that people north of the Bombays think it is.. Lots to see and do.. Yes, it's been a bit windy, but wait a few hours...!! By the way...no floods here, how's the North Island been lately...😏😏

[@DanegerAndStacey]

What an incredible place to have a holiday home 😍If we had more time we definitely would have. We're from Auckland and have nothing against Invercargill :) we'll just have to come back one day! Considering we're experiencing a water shortage, we really wouldn't complain about flooding 😉

[@Skiwi51]

@@DanegerAndStacey Good to hear, I just get sick of everyone bagging the south...next time you gotta try Blue Cod also.. Really enjoyed your vids, places I've been, seen and not seen...especially Marlborough/Golden Bay etc. A trip on a mail boat from Picton is also on my bucket list..

[@rodrigocarvalho7509]

Kudos for handling the elements with that huge campervan. Those are rare in my country, so don't even think I have the skills to drive one, but it's cool to see your experience. Ps: The AAAAAH moment is the highlight of this video, for sure!

Bravo! Another masterpiece...we can't wait until travel restrictions allow us to visit beautiful NZ. And YES, a NZ Roadie guide would be INCREDIBLY helpful. Different topic: how do you deal with hate mail? Today we received our first piece of hate mail (comment) , and although first I was really bummed out, I quickly became happy that a complete stranger took time to 1) watch our video and 2) spend time writing us (although the words were nasty). Did you two ever respond to hate mail, or just laugh it off? Thank you (as always) for the wonderful content and your guidance. - Jillian

Thanks guys! We're working on the guide as we speak! Sorry to hear that happened! We know from experience how frustrating and upsetting it can be. We have recieved plenty of rude comments over the years that have bummed us out too but we think it says more about the person writing them than you. Keep doing what you're doing ❤️ Every time you get a nice one, write it down somewhere and if another bad one happens to come through you can go back and remind yourself that there are good people in the world!

Haha just posted the last video so no more making you jealous!

History only goes back about 10 to 15000 years hunny. Not a million

😂Take it up with the scientists who discovered Curio Bay... They might disagree

Your GPS sounds bored

[@DanegerAndStacey]

I am disappointed in your trip to Bluff. You showed absolutely nothing and we are so proud of our town.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We’re disappointed too, Jude. Not with Bluff though, just with the storm. Taupo, the Catlins and Taranaki didn’t get great showings either (among others), that’s just life and travel 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@judebennett4238]

@@DanegerAndStacey HHHmmm It is only weather. You won't shrink you know lol

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We risked it in Taupo with $10k+ worth of camera gear then decided it’s safest not to do that again 😳 No worries though, we want to visit Stewart Island so will do Bluff proud next time!

[@judebennett4238]

@@DanegerAndStacey I hope so. Come down for The Bluff Oyster Festival. It is a great day and shows Bluff at its best.

Can hardly hear you because the background music is so damn loud!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Any part of the video in particular? We check our audio levels religiously on headphones and our studio speakers, a bit gutted to hear that it’s not up to scratch

[@stuartlennox66]

@@DanegerAndStacey The very beginning of your clip the music drowns you out, i dont know about the rest of the clip because i gave up trying to listen.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

@@stuartlennox66 Cheers for that.

Maybe its just because I'm getting older and less tolerant but God I'm finding millennials irritating.

Sadly, me too. I suspect all generations go though this. TBH, perhaps I was like this in my youth !
