It was so good to be back in Okarito for a couple days. We got to see our bosses again and sleep in the caravan for the last time. We all went kayaking on the Okarito lagoon in the morning. We’ll show you some pictures and introduce you to our awesome tour group.

Colin and I (Andre’a) headed down to 5 mile lagoon to go kayaking again. The day we went was just beautiful. We really wanted to spend a little more time at this beautiful lagoon before we left. However, this time we went, five mile lagoon happened to be open (meaning it was flowing out to...

The last day of whitebait season. We figured we couldn’t live on the west coast of New Zealand for 6 months right in the middle of whitebaiting season, and not give it a go. So on the very last day, at the wrong tide, we tried…. and were VERY unsuccessful! But we...

Andre’a and I are really excited about our days off this week. The weather is… well lets say… not rainy. The rain tends to go in weekly cycles that have been happening to hit on our days off, but not this week. We are going to head north to the pancake rocks…. and that...
