Rotorua is wonderful
So much fun
We agree!!!
Yes that's the best part of rotoura in my case the luge is so much fun I've been on it a couple of times
It's definitely something people have to try! So much fun :D
Cool Runnings!!! Must be like the bobsled! Looks such fun, must give it a go.
Yep, it is definitely a must do in Rotorua!
Wowww...Its looks so fun....great guys..
Yeah super fun! Put it on your todo list in Rotorua!
The luge is so much fun and so scary at the same time. If you go please do listen to the signs (ones that say slow down) when I went there was a guy who didn’t listen to the signs and he flipped off the track and broke his arm. They had to shut it down for a bit while the ambulance came and took him to the hospital.
Outch! The luge is fun but yeah, you've got to be a bit careful. Did you try the Queenstown one too?
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow it looks fun
It's Mario Kart in Real life! It doesn't get any better than this ;)
Thanx for coming to our beautiful exotic city👍❤
Aw... thanks for being sol welcoming :) We'll be back real soon
@Lucas YT nice one! glad that you had a blast Lucas!
Nice
Thanks for the love mate!
🤩🤩
"Non gon taha" 🤣 I know that you cant pronounce because were your from but it's funny cause I actually live in ngongataha
Yeah I struggle with some of the names. Sorry mate ;)
Last time I did that luge, I partially came off the kart, because the handlebars were loose, took a patch of skin off my leg, then had to go to Rotorua medical centre, and they gave me laughing gas and painfully scrubbed out the dirt from my wound. Then, it took about 3 weeks to heal, had to have this big patch on my leg to act as a "temporary skin".
Yay, your back! Sorry to see it's with an unfortunate Luge story though :( I guess that's why there are higher sides on the luge karts now, which we noticed was different to some of the karts in QT.
yeah the high sides would help keep you on the kart. I do like the Rotorua Luge better than the QT one though.
I try to watch your vids in bulk (bingewatch) but sometimes just don't have time, I've missed sooo many of your vids. Can't catch up on em all, but I'll be going back and watching some of the vids I missed out on.
If you have time, you should consider watching my Xinjiang (China) series, there are 7 episodes, each episode is 15-20 mins long so it's a bit of a time comittment, but there's only 7 videos. They're a real look into a world few westerners see, it's a place where the govt is practicing ethnic colonisation and just below the surface a lot of upset chinese muslims feel powerless....
Hi Robin and Laura really appreciate all d work u put in for us tourists. I watch ure videos regularly these days as il be visting NZ this Mar. Ive seen that there are 2 luge tracks in NZ one in Rotorua and other in Queenstown. Can u suggest me which one is better if I have the option to go for only one of these. Thanks
You have to do the 1st one first as it is the learning track. No choice ;) But once is never enough haha
@@NZPocketGuide I meant which track is better. The one is Queenstown or the one in Rotorua.
Rotorua :)
That luge was so much fun when I did it... but much more scary than I thought it'd be.
Yeah it goes super fast right?! What else did you get up to in Rotorua?
I chased a lot of waterfalls and went into a lot of hot springs.
Haha sounds like the perfect NZ trip! What was your favorite hot pool?
I really liked Kerosene Creek. It was pretty secluded, and 105 degrees!
Yeah it is such an amazing hidden spot! Quick note: No you will not be cooked alive, for everybody out of the US 105 Degrees F is about 40.5 Degree Celcius! Real hot, real nice!
HELLO backpackers, there is a lot to do in queenstown obviously, but i was wondering if you could tell us about Glenchory.. things to do and good hikes :) thanks!
Great question, we've just added it to the list ;)
I love the luge but it's just you either get a good cart or a bad cart like I went today and went down the scenic one and my cart wouldn't start lol.
Great tip Gillian :) Thanks for sharing!
Yeah the intermediate track is by far the best track
Have to check this out in rotorua, when im there.
Definitely, luging is heaps of fun! Any of our other videos in Rotorua made it to your "todo" list?
I'm trying to catch up on them now but the geothermal and Maori sites are definitely something I also need to hit up. Your videos are a great way to see what I need to experience.
Haha yeah we're a bit crazy video wise, we publish a lot :) Yep I agree with your choices, those are totally some must dos!
We will be there in 9 days! I saw on their website here is a jump at the end of the zip line. Did you guys do that part? Also is there another way down besides the stairs? My son has trouble walking long distances down stairs.
Yes there are two options to go down, the stairs or the jump (which is very easy, it's not a bungy jump haha)
Hi, Is it possible to go with a sedan car Toyota to Rainbow Mountain Scenic reserve? there is a road but I'm not sure to use that road to the top or not?
Yes you can but there will be a bit of a walk ;)
I wanted to go with my sons to New Zealand this summer,but had to cancel because of the coronavirsus.its postponed til 2022
Sorry to hear that, but you've got plenty of time to plan your trip at least :)
Lol people are still throwing there helmets on the nets. Some in the 90s use to throw them into the trees
Haha, I guess humans don't grow up :)
Yep I went up today and there was heaps of helmets on the nets.
How fast is the zipline and how high , please
400m long and about 80km/h it is quite a lot of fun! When will you be doing it?
@@NZPocketGuide planning for first week after new year
That will be fun! What a way to start the new year!
How fast the luge>
Not 100% sure to be honnest
it feels very fast because you are super close to the ground.
Andrea Pinto as fast as you want the record is 60kph
