Check out our socials for more about our adventures!

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!

Guys, we need to talk about something important

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?

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!

Well I’ll tell you something…

Firstly, if you like adventuring as a family and looking for cool kid friendly experiences, follow along @thefamilyfind

We were not expecting this from Taranaki. This entire area blew our socks off and we can’t wait to go back! 

If you’re planning a New Zealand holiday, then add Taranaki to your must visit list!

Welcome to… 

The crazy things we get up to as a family! If this sounds like your vibe, follow  along @thefamilyfind for more family adventures! 

If you want adrenaline filled activity, head to Rotarua NZ. Zorbing after sitting in hot hubs and saunas was a right hoot! 

A really fun one for the entire family!

Welcome to the shenanigans of @thefamilyfind! 

We were heading off on a hike which started at a beach water crossing.

Geo carried the boys across so we don’t have to deal with putting socks and shoes back on, but when they were across I yelled ‘what about me’!

Next minute I’m over G’s shoulder. Talk about laugh! 

Building memory dividends #diewithzero
