This was our favourite hidden gem in New Zealand. 

The drone footage ended up a disaster but  I thought I would share anyway because well it’s funny and because people tell us they follow us because we aren’t perfect and quite average and relatable. 😂😂

We had the entire place to ourselves! The only footprints on the beach belonged to us and it was truly magical! Definitely a place we will remember forever.

Details: 
The arch is only accessible at low tides and you still need to wade out into the water to get to it! 100% worth it, but please always check tide and swell conditions to ensure your safety. 

Save this for your next New Zealand adventure! 

The arch can be found on 
📍White Cliffs Beach about 40 minutes north of New Plymouth, North Island, New Zealand!

When you’re looking for things to do in Taupo you might not be all that impressed by an 11m high waterfall, but I tell you something: 

Firstly follow along @thefamilyfind, if you are looking for more fun advice and family adventure!

Huka Falls packs a punch with 220,000 litres of water following over it every SECOND! These falls are a must visit!

I’ll be honest, 

I really enjoy a glass of good wine, but since having kids the wineries we enjoy the most make the experience about so much more than the wine tasting and @brookfields_vineyards did just that! 

We had the owner do our wine tasting and we loved how family orientated it was. Not only with many of their family working there, but with the set up that made it welcoming for ours too! 

Follow along @thefamilyfind for more recommendations, hidden gems and family adventure 

Would highly recommend! Add it to your must visit list for when your in @napier NZ

This is a hill I’m willing to die on!

We’re raising boys who respect the outdoors.

Leave it better than you found it.
Always. No excuses.

If our 5 & 7 year old can take their rubbish home with them, so can you.

Nature only stays beautiful if we treat it like it matters.

Welcome to our page. If this sounds like your kind of travel and adventure, we’d love you to follow along on our journey @thefamilyfind 🤍

Am I dying on this hill alone? What’s your thoughts?

There’s one thing you need to know before you visit New Zealand!

The weather report is always wrong. 

(Follow along @thefamilyfind, if you are looking for more fun advice and family adventure!)

Plan for the day, but make sure you have a plan B,C,D,Z based on what the weather throws at you! We had to swing past @mountainwarehouse to pick up some raincoats as we were not at all prepared! 

Lucky for us the rain wasn’t cold and didn’t detour us from having a great time!

Australia has some of the best beaches in the world… but New Zealand’s black sand is something seriously cool! 

This is 📍BACK BEACH in Taranaki!
