YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS! Most Underrated Place in New Zealand, The Catlins, Nugget Point Lighthouse 🇳🇿

In todays episode we left Dunedin behind us and starting our travel journey through the beautiful and very underrated Catlins. Unfortunately, we heard a lot, that not many travellers have the time to visit this part of New Zealand. Our first stop of the video is Kaka Point, followed by the Nugget Point Lighthouse and Jack‘s Blowhole. We spent the night at the Purakaunui Bay DOC campsite, which has the most amazing camping views we have encountered.

Those dolphins are called Hectors Dolphins, one of the smallest dolphin species in the world, they are also an endangered species. Their North Island cousins are called Maui's Dolphins.

I love the Catlins - I grew up holidaying at our family 'crib' just 15min inland from Papatowai in Tahakopa (will be *very* surprised if anyone has ever heard of it!). Most beautiful and wild place - just perfect ❤

[@carolinethompson6592]

Awesome description of Phillipino people. You're so right, they are just amazingly kind, courteous and always have a smile ❤. Thank you Glen and Mado for being the amazing humans that you both are. I am going to plan a trip around Aotearoa because of the beautiful spots yous have invited us to share with yous ❤❤❤God bless you both and your whanau 🙏

[@GlenAndMado]

We have talked to so many! we think the Philippine people are wonderful :) can't wait to visit the country one day! were glad that our videos have gave you a perspective on the beauty you have in the country :)

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Mado is 100% correct, the Warnings are there for a reason Glen and it pays to take notice 👍

[@GlenAndMado]

I honestly didn't know what to expect thats why 🙈😂

[@KeetahHudson]

Kahawai fish is what the Philippines guy said!!

[@GailA2024]

Thanks guys, you are doing us proud with your filming of these wonderful places xx

[@fozzienz7616]

Hi Guys living in NZ is pretty cool and I have been every where over the years but the catlins is one of my favourite places I had a week there two years ago then on to Stewart Island just the most amazing place in the world enjoy our country love your videos

[@GlenAndMado]

were glad you got to explore your own country as many don't! see as much as you mentioned. catlins was absolutely awesome we loved it too and will remember this place :)

[@BoldRam]

The Catlins is an amazing place. Love camping at Pounawea and grilling flounder on the campfire 👌👌

[@GlenAndMado]

Oh that sounds like paradise! prob the best campsite we have come across :)

[@Patricia.rogers]

Recently been watching your videos in my evening's :) Really enjoying alot. love the scenery. thanks for sharing .

[@GlenAndMado]

Thanks Patricia for tuning in! ❤️

[@gidiandvel12]

wow. just wow

[@anneleahy9010]

I'd love to see you back in Northland. The Irish are popular cos so many of us whakapapa to Ireland, that means our ancestors come from there. That was special to see the dolphins.

[@GlenAndMado]

I know very proud to be in New Zealand and know that us irish have so much history here :)

[@avikingman]

Wow, what a wonderful video. I am 75 years old and I have been twice on New Zealand. I am wondering if I should rent a van and drive alone on South Island and that is because of your video Guys. The problem is it so far from Norway, more than 26 hours flying time.😞. My last flight from Sideney was 23 hours. Greetings from Norway with wind gusts 62 m per second last night.

[@GlenAndMado]

make it happen and don't even hesitate my friend :) just make sure you go for a long period of time to justify the long flight! well worth it :)

[@haydenjames7019]

yay my part o the world glad the weather play nicely for ya

[@lisarogers5443]

LOVE the Catlins! I'm from Timaru and only visited Catlins for the first time a year ago .

[@GlenAndMado]

wow you need to get out and explore lisa 😉

[@lisarogers5443]

It was the last place in the South Island that I hadn't seen.

[@shadowdancenz]

Catlins area is an absolute dream of a place to visit. Did you also do relic bay whilst you were there? Right next to Porpoise Bay. A fossilised forest area where some of the fossilised wood is still there on the beach. Just glad you saw those amazing dolphins. Those are some of the smallest in the world and we are lucky to have them in NZ

[@MothershipVideos]

Defiantly going there on our next trip down South. Thanks for the post.

[@GlenAndMado]

Your very welcome :) hope you have a blast!

[@real2gone]

Great vid, guys. Haven't been to the Catlins, but it's one spot in the South Island I plan to visit.

[@GlenAndMado]

Make it happen and don't hesitate my friend :)

[@lesleyhughes3174]

[@GlenAndMado]

Haha thanks for tuning in! We didn’t realise we had a German audience lol. Wish you guys all the best!

[@johnstuart8511]

You should try Steam pots. They work for potatoes, vegetables and even chicken.. Place the water in the bottom pot. Steam the rest. Stack up the pots. Might do wonders. Thanks for another awesome video. Regards. South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@linnightl9277]

And a Irishman missing out on South Island potatoes - tsk tsk tsk 😂

[@GlenAndMado]

Might be a struggle with the gas stove! it's not that efficient, I don't think. you would need to cook for quite a while this way, no? No, thank you for tuning in, John!

[@GlenAndMado]

irish potatoes are still the best in the world haha

[@gmdethierry]

Great watch!

[@kiwihib]

Loving watching you explore the Caitlin's, one of my favourite places in the world! Take note of the trees growing sideways, that's because the wind comes in strong off the Southern Ocean direct from Antarctica 🙂

[@martinbynion1589]

Just keep travelling around Aotearoa and educating evreyone (icluding Kiwis) of what a beautiful country this really is! 🙂🙂Thank you both so much.

[@rossgoodman4596]

[@shanewilson2484]

No way I'm going swimming in the sea that far South. Even here is Perth I only swim in the sea mid summer.

[@GlenAndMado]

[@lesleyhughes3174]

There's no cellphone reception in most of the Catlins, which can be a pain, if you need to be near your ph for some reason.
