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

I’m not even lying when I say…

This was the first thing we planned on our NZ trip and the only input Geo had. I was sceptical, but we had so much fun at this sign!

Eli was the director so, let us know if mum or dad did it better (my reel is already posted)- comment below.

If you haven’t seen our content before - welcome, we are @thefamilyfind, an Australian based travel family sharing all the chaos. We would love for you to give us a follow!

Truth be told, we had no intention of visiting here… 

If you’ve just found our page we are the @thefamilyfind. Follow along for all our family friendly adventures and hidden gems. 

We were on our way to Elephant Rock, but the road was closed. A traffic controller gave us the hot tip to head here. We were the only ones around! 

The beach itself is stunning. On a moody day the white cliffs, green moss and black sand make you feel like you’re on another planet! 

At low tide it’s easy enough to wade out under the arch and access the next secluded beach! 

Please know your own limits and do your research on tides and swell to ensure your safety.

We think this spot is the most unrated in NEW ZEALAND! Please leave no trace to keep it untouched and beautiful. 

📍White Cliffs, near Urenui, Taranaki.

Not even kidding you when I say this was the first stop we planned! 

This was Geo’s only suggestion as part of our entire 3 week North Island itinerary! 

Eli took full control and was our director for the morning! Loads of laughs were had!
