Күн бұрынFor a place nobody has recommended to us I have to say it was surprisingly awesome! We had a great time driving there, exploring this French town, and getting out on that cruise ship. Learning more about the history of people and the landscape was interesting to me, I hope it is for you too!
Thank you so much for watching 🙂

Haha so happy to hear you enjoyed it 😃 intro was a little longer than normal so I’m glad you stuck around! It is very charming and as someone mentioned in the comment section, apparently has a top 10 global cooking school here! I’m sure there’s a lot more hidden gems to be found there. Cheers, Sandro!

I lived in Christchurch from age 4 to age 27. Akaroa was a pretty regular holiday hangout for my family. As a little kid I went to YMCA summer camp at Wainui, across the harbour from Akaroa. In high school, I went on a historical field trip to examine the remains of a pa sacked by Te Rauparaha. As an adult I had friends who worked in local hotels. Hector's dolphins are straight up great, they are friendly and fun loving. They especially like kids. Thanks for this video! You are doing NZ right.

Voted as one of the Top10 places in the WORLD to learn how to cook, is the Akoroa Cooking School. I attended their French Cooking class a few years back and it was amazing. I'm so glad you went here and filmed all the beauty of this quaint town.

One of my favourite places. My parents have a bach towards the top of the harbour and I like to get down there any time I can. A beautiful spot with such a relaxing atmosphere.

Amazing intro! Big Star Wars fan. You simply nailed it in capturing the beauty of the dolphins. I never would have considered the similarities to Mickey Mouse before. Looks completely serene being on those waters and the way you filmed the cruise. I also love when you incorporate the interesting historical asides. Another one for the books.

Haha Star Wars, you silly guy. To be fair the fine folks on the cruise along with the department of conservation described it that way. I really appreciate it, thank you!

Love Akaroa, I've always wanted to go back since my one, brief visit...I agree, people do tend to overlook/forget about it - poss just because of the access difficulties... such a shame!

Us too! I could see that for sure... sounded like they got 4000 - 5000 people come through their on certain days before the pandemic via cruise ships but it could be a bit out of the way for a South Island road trip

Great vid as usual, Donovan. RE ‘bach’ I don’t know if you came across this but many ‘mainlanders’/ south islanders use the term ‘crib’ instead of bach, though I have no idea about the origin of where that comes from. Keep up the great work. :-)

Hi there question time what is some interesting New Zealand facts you learnt on your trips around New Zealand or some New Zealand slang.
@donovankelly12 10 ай бұрын
Great question! Off the top of my head I’ll say the Moa and the Haast’s Eagles. We read about them when we were in Castle Hill and this little infographic suggested that this giant eagle with a 3 metre wingspan used to hunt humans (along with other flightless birds). It was the biggest eagle in the world and yeah I just had no idea that was ever a thing haha would not have been fun to see one of those 600 years ago
