New Zealand's South Island Has Kingdoms Nobody Talks About | EP3

Join us on a breathtaking journey through some of New Zealand's most stunning landscapes in our latest travel vlog. Mount Sunday (Edoras), Castle Hill, and Arthur’s Pass are some of the most unique and lesser-known places on New Zealand’s South Island — and in this episode, we explore them all. ⛰️ This week, we leave the typical South Island route behind and head into the Canterbury high country — a region most travelers completely miss. Along the way, we follow braided rivers, drive through remote landscapes, and discover why this might be one of the most underrated regions of the South Island. 📍 Locations in this episode: ▸ Mount Sunday — Edoras (Lord of the Rings filming location) ▸ Canterbury High Country ▸ Rakaia River ▸ Lake Coleridge ▸ Castle Hill / Kura Tāwhiti ▸ Arthur’s Pass National Park ▸ Elephant Rocks, North Otago This is Part 3 of our New Zealand South Island road trip series 👉 New Zealand Playlist:    • NEW ZEALAND   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Leaving the main route... 1:06 — The Kingdom of Rohan (Mount Sunday / Edoras) 6:00 — Where the Mountains Begin (Mount Hutt) 8:59 — A River That Never Stays Still (Rakaia River) 10:08 — Power in the Middle of Nowhere (Lake Coleridge) 11:09 — The Kingdom of Stone (Castle Hill / Kura Tāwhiti) 13:30 — Crossing Into Another World (Lyndon Road → Arthur’s Pass) 13:53 — A Landscape That Doesn’t Feel Real (Elephant Rocks) 15:15 — Next Week: From Silence to Adrenaline (Queenstown) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We’re a full-time traveling family sharing our journey around the world — slow travel, worldschooling, and real moments along the way. 🎒 Save it for trip inspiration & travel planning! 📌 Subscribe for more New Zealand travel guides and family adventures!
