TASMAN TRAVELS

Into The Wild – Forest (Forest Green and Natural) @meanderwild

This lil cutie had us a tad confused. Are you a Tomtit? Or are you a Robin? Tomtit/Miromiro – a tiny, lively songbird with a variety of names! Found across Aotearoa, this feisty little bird has five subspecies, including the North and South Island tomtits (both thriving) and the rare Chatham Island tomtit. Keep an ear out for their sweet calls in the forest! #tasmantravels #birdsofnewzealand #birdwatching #bushwalk #westcoast #tomtit #bird #nature

Come for a rainy bushwalk to Lake Daniell with us!

Ancient solutions to modern tensions. And we love them. #tasmantravels #newzealand #vanlife #nz #shaktimats #instagood #ad #travel #camping #love

Stay curious.

Park up! #tasmantravels #westcoast #ford #fordnz #vanlife #travel #vanlifediaries #vanlifepride #newzealand #caravan

The South Island Robin/Kakaruwai Endemic and protected, these friendly robins are scattered across the South Island and Stewart Island. Males sport a dark grey coat with a pale yellowish chest, while females and juveniles are a lighter grey. Keep an eye out for these little foragers next time you’re in the bush! #tasmantravels #bird #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #westcoast #newzealand #nz

Kicking off the Lewis Pass — our first time towing through here. At 907 metres, it sits lower than Arthur’s Pass but higher than the Haast… and yet, it felt like the easiest tow of the three. A stunning drive and a surprisingly smooth haul through this beautiful part of the South Island. #tasmantravels #vanlife #mountainpass #newzealand #roadtrip #drone #traveller #travel #loveit

A night at @monteithsbrewery1868 Absolutely!

We’ll always find our way back to @opukespa when we’re in @experiencemidcanterburynz — it’s just that special. This time, we came for their new Tranquility Menu and wow… absolutely sensational. The Red Wine Infused Pear? A dreamy start. The Tamar Beef Sirloin? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. #tasmantravels #opuke #methven #newzealand #spa #food #travel #ad #canterbury #nz #love

Castle Hill, where the towering limestone formations create a landscape straight out of Narnia. Just a short drive from @christchurchnz this spot offers easy walking trails through the unique rock formations. The area, known as Kura Tāwhiti, holds deep cultural significance for the Ngāi Tahu iwi. The name “Kura Tāwhiti” means “the treasure from a distant land,” referring to the kūmara once cultivated here. The site also features three pou whenua (carved posts) that represent the mana whenua (tribal authority) and acknowledge the area’s rich history. Whether you’re into rock climbing or simply soaking in the views, it’s a must-visit spot. #tasmantravels #castlehill #selwyn #selwynnz #narnia #thechroniclesofnarnia #walk #newzealand #rock #travel #vanlife #adventures

A fantastic, relaxing stay at Ski Time in Methven. Our two-bedroom apartment was the perfect base for unwinding. The highlight? The on-site restaurant served up some of the best meals we’ve had in ages. Highly recommend! #tasmantravels #newzealand #skitime #methven #lodge #canterbury #ad #canterburynz #stay #accomodation #nzmustdo

The road is there, it will always be there. You just have to decide when to take it. #newzealand #tasmantravels #vanlife #nz #nzmustdo #love #instagood #camping #ford #roadtrip #huruni #northcanterbury

A short but stunning walk through lush beech forest leads to the spectacular 131m Devils Punchbowl Waterfall. The well-formed track includes stairs, but the effort is well worth it for the breathtaking views at the lookout! A must-do stop in Arthur’s Pass—especially after rain when the falls are at their most powerful! #tasmantravels #vanlife #waterfall #newzealand #arthurspass #nz #nationalpark #bushwalk #love #nature
