Hiking Roys’s Peak mini guide ⬇️ I will not Hiking Roys’s Peak mini guide ⬇️

I will not lie, this is a tough, long hike! 

The hike is all uphill, with a steady gradient that is that awkward level, which simultaneously stretches and hurts the calves. 

The views the whole way are absolutely incredible though and the views at the top are 100% worth it! 

A few tips ⬇️

▫️Start early morning - this is a popular hike and gets very busy from about 8am onwards 
▫️The worst section is the first 45mins - it’s the worst gradient in my opinion 
▫️Expect this hike to take anyways between 3-6hrs, depending on your fitness 
▫️The viewpoint (first photo) isn’t the top! And you may need to wait for photos here 
▫️The summit is about 30mins away from the view point, it’s a tiny platform but well worth it 
▫️There are bathrooms at the start and at the viewpoint - bring your own toilet paper 🧻 

Is it worth doing? Absolutely! This was also my first time seeing real snow which was a great treat 🀩

This place must be on your list if you are plannin This place must be on your list if you are planning to stay in the Taranaki area! 

@mangorei_heights has some of the best views of Mt Taranaki - from every window in the house! 

It’s only a 5min drive to the trail head for the pouakai Hut, and situated on a hill giving incredible views across farmland and out to the ocean 

And that bathtub 🀩 

The hosts are incredible and made for an extremely pleasant stay! Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Would you stay here?

Part 3! This was one do the first major hikes I Part 3! 

This was one do the first major hikes I did with my time in New Zealand and was easily one of my favourites! 

The hike is steep (pretty much all uphill), but takes you past streams, over swing bridges and through some gorgeous forest. At the end of the hike you will be treated with gorgeous views of the surrounding landscapes.

Recommendations ⬇️

▫️ Hike and stay at the pinnacles hut it’s $25NZD for 1 night and is by far one of the nicest huts I stayed at 
▫️Give yourself 2-3hrs to get to hut, the pinnacles is about 30mins from the hut 
▫️Hike to the top for sunset or sunrise - you won’t regret it! 

Is this hike on your New Zealand bucket list?

Would you jump off a platform at 184m and free-fal Would you jump off a platform at 184m and free-fall for 8.5 seconds ? 

This was my first time bungy jumping and I mean go big or go home right? πŸ˜‚

I love adrenaline activities, but this one was the one that freaked me out. Convincing yourself to jump off a perfectly good platform is a big mind game, especially cause it’s all in your hand/no help from others πŸ˜…

This was such an thrilling experience and I’m happy I was able to tick it off my bucket list! 

Would I do it again? Honestly probably not hahaha. Once was enough πŸ˜‚

Would I recommend people to do it? Absolutely!

While in Queenstown, I finally ticked off a bucket While in Queenstown, I finally ticked off a bucket list experience 

Skydiving at 15 000ft πŸͺ‚

I’ve done skydiving before but never at this height, or with these incredible views! 

This was my favourite adrenaline activity I did in Queenstown and HIGHLY recommend it! After being cancelled twice, I got the most perfect day and couldn’t ask for better conditions πŸ₯Ή

If you want to see the whole experience, you can check out my YouTube Chanel in my bio πŸŽ₯

If you are looking for ultimate relaxation while i If you are looking for ultimate relaxation while in Queenstown; you must visit here! 

I had just done several adrenaline activities and a bit of relaxation was definitely needed πŸ˜‚

I booked the β€œOriginal Onsen” which cost $107.50NZD. It includes 

▫️1 hr in these beautiful hot pools, in a private room - I had this all to myself! 
▫️Your choice of beverage from cider, beer, wine and non alcoholic options 
▫️A small snack - the boysenberry gelato was delicious 🀀 
▫️ There is also a shower and area to get changed in the room 

It’s a bit on the expensive side, but the experience is definitely worth it 🀩
