Went and checked out the stunning Marokopa falls yesterday #ataahua Love exploring little treasures like this 👍 #forestfamilynz #marokopafalls #waitomo #nzrocks
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
2020 taught us many things, most importantly - that whanau and friends are irreplaceable!!! Happy 2021 people 🥰 may it be filled with love and peace 💗✌️ #forestfamilynz #feelingblessed #thankyounz
See ya 2020! Hello 2021✨ we spent a wonderful couple of days back in St Arnaud with our beautiful friends from @thewoodsmansden 😍 I absolutely loved being back in the place I spent most of my 20’s & where I met my tane 😁 It was so great to show the kids around🌿 back when I was a biodiversity ranger and dad a recreation ranger for the #departmentofconservationnz . Kids couldn’t get over the eels!🤣 Lots of aroha ♥️
