Making memories 💕@ #tewhareokioki 😍 We finally made it to this great little hut! The hut is the newest in the Kaimai-Mamaku ranges and opened in 2019. You can book it via #departmentofconservation , it’s a cute hut which sleeps up to 12 people, has solar lighting, a USB charger! It is toasty warm too😊 It was a challenging 4 hr walk each way for our kiddos (aged 8-12yrs) but they did good 👍👍👍🤗
Stunning snorkeling adventure in the far north 🤿, was a great confidence building session in the calm secluded bay 🏝Hope everyone is getting out there enjoying the summer holidays together ☀️ #forestfamilynz #snorkeling #farnorthnz #whanautime
Checking out the sea lions in Kaikōura today. Feeling super blessed at the amount of dolphins 🐬 we saw today as we drove along the coastline from Hanmer to Kaikōura 🥰 What a beautiful part of the world we live in! I’m very aware and grateful of how lucky 🍀 we are to have the freedom to be tripping around 🙏 Sending aroha/love and positive vibes around the world. 😘#bucketlist #kaikoura #kaikouranz #newzealand #sealion #kaikouracoast #roadtrip #roadynz #gratitude
