This is so cool! Way to spend the time to show the magic of the cave! Spending that much time in there must have let you feel a little bit of what life is like in there.
MERVEILLE DU MONDE / FANTASTIQUE / IRRÉEL / ÉPOUSTOUFLANT à couper le souffle regarder sur place ! Un GRAND MERCI de FRANCE pour nous ramener dans AVATAR avec votre SUPERBE BELLE VIDÉO !
Great video as usual! I found out about the eels AFTER going through the caves, which was a good thing for me. Good luck with the move as I'm sure it will be bittersweet..
+Chase Frock the little ones aren't scary but there are a few monster big ones out there that I wouldn't want to accidental stick my hand in front of. The move it coming very soon, I've got conflicting feelings about it but should open up new doors which will be fun.
Guys, it's amazing stuff you have here! After watching Great Walks, I am ready to travel to NZ. In a few days I am off to 300 mile hike in Norway, but next year maybe... Will keep my fingers crossed for NZ trip. Keep it up, subscribed!
I live in New Zealand, My mum works there! I get free trips! I did it once and when we turned the lights out I hit my head agenst the rocks.. not one of my highlights... Its an amazing experience and if you could do it, you'd enjoy it!
+Jens M Eichkorn you're welcome. I don't think they let cameras on most of the tours as it would significantly slow the tours down and glowworms don't respond well to flashes. Although I do think they allow cameras on the Ruakuri cave tour one.
+Stoked for Saturday well I only asked to take my GoPro on my helmet. Wouldn't really slow things down. Think it's more, because they wanna sell their own photos. Didn't know about the other tour unfortunately.
Another awesome video although you just can't beat your original as that was just magical. I've been to see the Glow worms in Te Anua a few times. It sounds like Waitomo is the best though? If that's the case will be taking the kids there when we visit later in the year, they'll love it I'm sure. Also have read that the Spellbound tour is the best?
+mattmaca Waitomo is probably the most impressive display we've seen so far. Although each display is different so the concept of "best" is kind of subjective. The patch above the boats in the main glowworm cave next to the big visitor centre in Waitomo is the most dense one we've seen but it's also very high up. We haven't been to spellbound or Te Anua. There are just too many options.
+Stoked for Saturday True, popular is probably more the word. Either cave will have the kids gazing in wonder and me smiling at them so all good. With you travelling home I just want to wish you both safe travels, take care and look after each other. I will continue to tune in and support your wonderful vids. Thanks guys, take it easy!
Amazing video guys. Can you please tell me a bit about which settings you used (ISO and Shutter)? Appreciate if anyone could give me tips or advice. Love the vids! Keep it up.
+Elroy McKay the settings changed from clip to clip but the ISO in the video varied from 3200 to 6400 and shutter on the time-lapse sequences were all 30 seconds.
I was expecting that life ring to explode when it reached her. Junkrat main btw p.s. Man these glow worms are awesome. I wish I was a glow worm, that'd be cool.
It looks like something from a high production cost film but it ain't It looks really nice colourful mysterical Great work stoked for Saturday We're is that in new zealand
And here I am in my mass 1080 poisoned New Zealand - corruption exterminating all our native bush wildlife, we cant swim in our rivers, or drink our water. A pretend "nice place" in brochures - but it's really a shithole too.
+Libby Firmin Yes we do, Virgina Beach in the US next month and Sri Lanka the following month. We still have lots of unreleased videos from New Zealand and Bali. I just need to edit them. Should be a new one up in the next couple of weeks.
+Stoked for Saturday thats great :) do you mind if I ask how you got that. I just paid the fee for two tours and was asking several times about camera, on the rua tour i could bring it but we were like 20 people.
+Natanael Alfven our previous glowworm video was very successful with a lot of views and winning a big award so they accompanied us and invited us to film in their caves because it would provide good exposure for their tours.
did you both book a tour and were allowed to use cameras in the cave? i read on some tour-groups' website that they do not allow cameras. i would appreciate an answer to how this magic happened.
We had special permission and a private tour in order to film this. Unfortunately they don't allow filming on most of their trips. A lot of them will take pictures for you as part of the tour.
thanks a lot for the information. i was planning a trip to NZ, and getting shots like this on a personal camera would be amazing. we still plan on going here regardless. much mahalos for the videos. #inspiring
Go for the Ruakuri Cave tour then. Some of the shots featured in this video are on the walking tour, and photography is allowed, though it is not a photography tour - there won't be time for setting up a tripod.
Wow, ok ! :D I'll miss your New Zealand videos, you created, at least in part, my yearning for adventure in this amazing country ! All of them were awesome:) Hope you will enjoy your comeback at home then ! :) Will you continue making videos ?
Defo looks better here than in person, still beautiful, though. They do not allow photography either, which really sucks, even if you don’t use a flash, they want you to purchase the very expensive souvenirs, which you can buy in the nearby village for a fraction of the price.
