Thanks for the video.

Hey Chris and Danya Did you do a course for the pack rafting? Did you buy your own rafts? I’m a kiwi living in WA, but this looks like a heap of fun

Beautiful, hopefully doing this in October!

Not sure how I missed this video when it first came out? It’s gorgeous I love it. Perfect level of rapids for me. Fun but no death if you make an error 😂. Would love to see more packrafting

Beautiful. I'm really glad I watched your train journey south and decided to subscribe.

Amazing quality! What kind of gear are you guys using?

I've lived in Nelson all my life and have missed the opportunity to walk where you have been. Thanks soooo much gor sharing. I cried at the awesome landscape.xxoo

Great hike

that website is fantastic, japs do things right

Just starting to watch but the music is so irritating

Don’t do it in lake, river, pond water infections will occur

I’ve been on this tramp many times. Only last week I popped up for an overnighter at the Bushline Hut on Mt. Robert. Your video is by far the best filmed I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work.

Anyone 2023

Great Video thank you. You did the Track justice. Ive literally spent months up there, love it! 💞💞

nice video - thank you. Nice to see "home"...

What the fk is that pig doing ? So much for predator/pest free Able Tasman lol. Project Janzoom seem selective in their pest eradication. I bet those Candian Geese are still there shitting all over the beach

Hey Guys, great video. I’ve done The Routeburn and Milford track. I’m thinking of doing the Kepler in December this year… bookings for the season will be released soon. But I’ve been thinking of doing the Rees-Dart. But that one looks a little sketchy, so not sure as I will be doing it myself. Hmm😬 have you guys done Rees-dart? Thoughts?

which month did you go? 😊

Awesome vid but, Ouraki?

What about laundry? On the Camino, we wash clothes every night.

Such a good watch thanks for that

I was here last week, did only the first part of the track. It was INSANELY beautiful. This is one of those places that you have to experience for yourself. Because film/pictures don't do it justice, even when it is this high quality footage.

Mate this is absolutely brilliant…. Thank you so much for your time and advice

Hi Chris & Danya, great videos, I wonder if you guys would make a gear and camera settings reviews in the future? Thanks

Hi Chris and Danya, When was this vlog shot? First week of November or whatever? I'm planning a trip in autumn 2025 and want to try and pick the right moment in the calendar.

You guys are so lucky to hike this mesmerizing beauty. No words is enough for me how much I have enjoyed your video while watching it. Thanks for entertaining me.

cool vid. see any animals?

This is stunning! How far from the hooker trail to the hut? We can just follow the orange pole all the way?

Thanks Chris and Danya, beautifully filmed, my favorite, next time you’re in the Nelson Lakes, might I suggest the Cupola - Gunsight route. From Chris and Sonya.

Thank you. Fanastic video !!!

Hey Chris and Danya. Thanks so much for the video and it is so inspiring. It is very detailed and will help me on my hike in August. Cheers

Thanks Chris, the video was great! We are from Australia and have just been to South Is NZ. We have done the Hooker Valley Trail while overthere and now like this one on Caples River when next we go over. How many kilometers did you walk before you came back packrafting? Thank Marli & David (Brisbane)

It took me years to get somewhat used to walking in Australia after growing up in NZ!

hi @ChrisandDanya, i plan to do this trek but there is a lot of test like when you have to pass into a mountain like in your video ?

I can

Beautiful content. What month did you go?

Thanks. I must have said, “wow,” 40 times. Simply superb. I watched another video of the same trip and the comparison with yours is…. And so interesting to get the jet boat and helicopter. It might be possible for me to do it that way. And the weather over the pass, so lucky.

I was a ranger there at Fox 13 years ago now. I was young and so fit, my housemates were rangers too and we used to see who could summit Mt Fox the fastest on our days off, I did sub 2 hours. The girl was a machine and did it 1hr 20. Back then you could walk right up to the glacier on a trail, we used to maintain the path for the visitors. Were talking big unfit tourists so it had to easy going. We would set the biggest boulders we could budge for the river crossings, then a big rain would come down those steep valleys and toss them away like they were nothing. Drank the glacier melt water everyday, delicious.

Great stuff guys - will have to check out Dog Pool next time we're riding to Yirra Kartta on the MB (its only 9km away). Thanks for the heads up :)

Yeah, the safety of New Zealand’s bush does spoil you. Beautifully filmed, fortunate you can both experience this together. 👋

Nothing like a deep cool forrest Except maybe a 🍺🍺 at the end

Loved the video. It was a very memorable part of the track for us. What happened to "hot potato day"? We always say it with you guys in mind 😂

Check your reel around 10:28 - 10:33 you have a lovely friend on the right (ground level) 🐍

Another superb video,thank you very enjoyable.

Barbara O’Neil onions for cough

All great info, but the real question is - Where did Danya get that stick? That's a good stick!

Thankyou so much for filming this tramp. I so loved seeing 'hinterland' I don't have the stamina to reach. So I appreciate very much you fitter folk who can go and have the generosity to film as well. I'm a Kiwi, and I love my land. Thankyou, thankyou, Kia Kaha! 😘 Ellen
