Driving the South Island of New Zealand. You can’t make this stuff up. The amazing things come up at every twist and turn. Its amazing you make it to your next destination bc of all the photo stops!

A long, bumpy dirt road keeps a few perfect islands from being too popular in New Zealand. The neatly forested islands look straight out of fantasy.

Adventuring our way around New Zealand in our motorhome, we came across a small town Whataroa. Just out of that town is this wonderful overpass with glacier water flowing below from the surrounding mountains. With the perfect moody conditions we could not pass up the opportunity to get out and fly (even though it was slightly raining). Our drone/s lasted the quick fly and the shots came out better than anticipated, we hope you enjoy just as much!

One of the most picturesque locations in New Zealand, Lake Tekapo rests peacefully next to the township of Tekapo. The hill on the other side of the lake is the site of the Mount John observatory, an observatory with almost unparalleled views of the stars in the dark sky reserve above.

One of those shots where everything just came together. Despite having daily adventures in New Zealand for most of a year, this capture still ranks as one of my overall favorites.

A close-up of a bird. The Kea is a large parrot about 48 cm, it is one of ten endemic parrot species in New Zealand. Photo is taken on a rainy autumn day on the South Island of New Zealand.

We woke early to watch the sun tear apart the clouds around Mt Aoraki (Mt Cook), revealing its monolithic self, and the peaks of its surrounding children.

This was taken in the evening at Hooker Lake where i was alone in the dark apart from a few large possums. I used a long exposure but due to the wind, some of the icebergs shifted and so are slightly blurry in this image. littleleafcreative.com

The Kea is the only alpine parrot in the world! I took this image in New Zealand at Mueller Hut, over looking the great Aoraki National Park. Mt Sefton in the background.

My friend who is a Pilot for Air Safaris in my hometown, Lake Tekapo - New Zealand, asked if I wanted to join her on a flight as she had a spare seat. Of course I could not say no, as surrounding Lake Tekapo are beautiful mountains and stunning scenery!

The west coast of NZ looks like this most of the time. I didn’t see the sun once during my weeklong stay - it really gave the area a special atmosphere.

Seeing this glacier was awesome, but I was more impressed at how much it had retreated -and just how quickly that had happened! Sadly, you can no longer hike up to the glacier and this photo had to be taken from over 750m away. In 2008, standing in that same spot, I would have been *on* the glacier. Glaciers come and go naturally, but they are especially sensitive to change and our climate reality looks a little bleak. We can do better :)

The wonder of The Hooker Glacier and glacial lake and the fret of Mt Cook, NZ. In winter the lake is iced over and some adventurous souls walk out onto it, not me though I’d rather view from afar.

Standing before the beautiful views of the glacial Hooker Lake is so special. Winter iced over the lake waters making it even more magical.

At Offcut, we’re lucky to call New Zealand home. This stunning country of big mountains and beautiful coastline is both our HQ and our playground. It’s right here that we make our limited range of lifetime guaranteed hats from fabric destined for landfill and plant a tree with every hat sold. Join us on the adventure!

Watching this sunset was one of the best experiences of my life - we did the Mt Cook walk in the late evening hoping to get Mt Cook for sunset. It was raining all day and all afternoon, but we set out anyway not expecting to even be able to see it. The clouds started to clear just as the sun moved behind the mountain ranges and was almost totally clear while the pinks were out. So glad that we made the decision to go anyway, mother nature had our back.

Blizzard passing by, the entire Mt Cook region was covered in snow - seconds later the sun came through and cleared our path way back to our van
