In three months, filmmakers Silke Schranz and Christian Wuestenberg covered 10,000 kilometres in a bought car. They travelled all over the North and South Islands. You can see what they found on the North Island in this DVD: fascinating scenery, beautiful coastline and beaches, lakes, woods, villages, cities, waterfalls, volcanoes, exclusive tips and much, much more. Plenty of information on tours, sailing trips, skydiving, surfing and prices in New Zealand. Two years of work went into this documentary. The result is a wonderful film about New Zealands North Island and its unique landscape. Run time: 57 minutes. Stereo. Made in 2009. Languages: English and German. DVD region code: 0 (Playable worldwide) The film is very different from traditional travel films. There is no advertising, the authors backpacked under their own steam and had three months to film. Informative text, no superficial comments, like "plenty to see for young and old" or "the café invites you to linger". Who is the film aimed at? At anyone who wants to find out what New Zealand has to offer before going there. At those who are looking for especially appealing day trips in New Zealand. At the curious, the enthusiastic, the critical, the passionate, the fun-loving, nature-lovers, travel enthusiasts and individualists. At anyone who has been to New Zealand and would like a souvenir on DVD. What does the film offer? Valuable information and tips on the North Island. A film that makes you want to discover New Zealand for yourself. Because New Zealand is so big and has so much to offer, this information can help you to plan your own trip better. Also available on Amazon: "New Zealand - the South Island"

Ideal holiday aid,
This review is from: New Zealand - the North Island - bitten by the travel bug - a different kind of travel film (DVD)
I bought this DVD, along with it's partner about the South Island, as I am planning a trip to New Zealand at the end of the year. It gave me exactly what I was looking for - an opportunity to decide what I really wanted to see, and what I would prefer to avoid. A trip to New Zealand is probably something I will only get to do once in my lifetime, so I want to make the most of it. I'm not a thrill seeker, and not keen on heights, so I now feel that I can safely rule out a trip up a glacier - I feel as if I've experienced it already! There are ideas for day trips; from a walk or kayaking,to boat trips or rolling down a hill in a sphere, and the aforementioned trip up a glacier. There are also useful hints about tourist traps and the fact that restaurants close earlier than we are used to in Europe. The film follows a sensible route round the North Island thus helping with planning how long you need to allow to visit a particular area. We watched both the DVDs back to back and will no doubt watch them once or twice more before we go. The camera work and commentary (in English) are excellent. I would recommend this DVD to anyone planning a trip to New Zealand, or to anyone who just dreams of going.

This review is from: New Zealand - the North Island - bitten by the travel bug - a different kind of travel film (DVD)
We bought both DVDs in this series on return from our holiday in New Zealand in early 2011. The film-makers' route coincided with ours in places and it was delightful to have our memories jogged. At the same time every NZ itinerary is different, and the route travelled serves as a reminder that we only scratched the surface. They found some very interesting places that we wouldn't have. Of course, these films only scratch the surface too, but in a different way; now that we live in NZ it is a source of inspiration for places we haven't yet visited!
