About this video

Today we are doing some bone carving on the West Coast of New Zealand with Skeleton Crew Carving Studio in Barrytown! We are going to be carving our very own bone pendants with Maori designs. It makes an awesome and personal New Zealand souvenir.

From Punakaiki, it’s a quick drive to Barrytown which is the hidden base of Skeleton Crew Carving Studio. It’s a walk through a farm paddock and then into the forest to find the bone carving studio where we meet Karen and her dogs.

We first pick our Maori bone carving designs and then challenge each other to carve us an awesome Maori bone necklace. The process to carve the necklace takes about 2 hours but the end result looks so professional and we are super stoked about our new Maori bone necklace.

We head back to Punakaiki to check out the Punakaiki Cavern, just off the main state highway and easy to access. This is a free new Zealand cave you can explore at your own leisure, so we crawl through some tunnels and into a gorgeous room with light beaming through and opening. Punakaiki Cave is a fun and stunning cave in New Zealand even if it is small.

Tonight we are staying in the awesome Punakaiki Beach Camp. Join us for more of our backpacking New Zealand vlog tomorrow!

So what do you think of bone carving in New Zealand and the Punakaiki Cavern? Let us know in the comments.
