Too precious Callie is. “In our family it’s called skinny dipping”. Too adorable he is.

[@heathercampbell4600]

OMG. I'm in tears at the sheer beauty of this video. I'm so proud of you all, but especially proud of Cali. He's become quite the confident surfer/adventurer and his growth is phenomenal. I love you guys so much. Can't say it enough. Blessings on you all from your ardent fan in Jamaica.

[@gabbyraatz6924]

It’s the sweetest thing watching your family interact with each other. The kids have so much patience for each other and are so mature. The beauty of giving your kids the experience of traveling, experiencing cultures, and enjoying life together. The fruit is evident in your kids of how much you guys have poured in.

[@debbiefishman3815]

This video (watching you guys swim with the whales) was beyond incredible!!! As an avid diver...this brought tears to my eyes! Such beautiful creatures!

[@tThisNThat]

Me too!

[@sissifan5967]

34:33 when Jess reached her hand out for Manilla, got his hand, and the whole family cuddled together to soak in the moment, this is where I started crying. Here you have a beautiful human family witnessing a beautiful whale family. The power and the bliss, it’s so magical ❤

[@himynameispriya]

[@TheBucketListFamily]

❤️❤️❤️ to you

[@rudanna2375]

Omg this is my favourite video of yours so far. You said in the middle of the video that Bart is taking care of his home and his ocean that’s why he has the best wild life experiences. You must have done some amazing things in your life to be able to experience what you have just experienced. One in a lifetime! So so so happy for you guys! Much love 💕

[@jillearly6952]

This was one of the best videos I’ve watched. Very moving at the end. Cali is more and more awesome. Manilla loves tne ‘good life’ with the robes. And Dorothy is getting so grown up. Thank you for sharing once again!❤

[@melodyhatten2378]

I wanted to cry so many times in this video because there were so many beautiful moments. I love your family, and I hope you never stop doing this.

[@gnnauss]

With all the horrible going on in the world, it makes my heart happy to watch this family and their adventures. I bought a small sailboat and hope one day to create memories like this with my family. You're all an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Much love

[@alatsey94]

SPEECHLESS! What an absolutely incredible video. Such breathtaking moments you captured, from swimming with the sperm whales to surfing party waves..and doing it all TOGETHER!! So happy for you that you got to experience all this. Love you guys! Edit: I spy my mom and me at 2:16 ☺️ thanks for including us! 🧢 And of course, Happy Birthday to Dorothy and Garrett!! 🎂❤️💙💚🎊

[@raflismuhamed152]

[@SBUTLER3]

[@kevincoyne340]

OMG that was the most amazing video you have ever shown. The excitement I felt with this magnificent filming was like I was right there with all of you. The emotions that flowed through me was electrifying. That was so and I mean so beautiful. The end with the whole family swimming together with all those whales took my breathe away. Thank you for sharing such a overwhelming experience and I wasn't even there but felt like I was.

[@carobarfly51]

So funny, I'm in Mauritius for holidays, and i watched your beautiful video. Too much emotions, as a mother, makes me cry. You share such magical moments with your children. Thank you so much. Caroline from France

[@stephanielopez8175]

😢 so beautiful and so deserving ❤ god bless your family

[@naturallyronnie6552]

My favorite part is Dorothy's small support of Callie back to the surface & then stretching her hand to get him back on the boat! ❤

[@miss_lilyanne]

The 5 whale family and our Bucket List Family swimming together in harmony and being welcomed to the their giant ocean whale dance was spectacular! - BRAVO! The BEST video you all have made to date! I cant wait to see this animated.

[@bettinaintheclouds]

Wait, whaaat!! 🤯While we saw you swimming in the ocean with so many different animals, this experience is next level. Can't believe you came so close with so many. Our planet is so precious and beautiful and mind-blowing and may we never ever forget that. Thank you for reminding us of that from time to time.

[@user-ji5jg5jd6i]

Tears of joy😊

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

This video is EVERYTHING 🤩🫶🏼

[@1ofDVSurvivorJohnnyDeppsRandos]

Warching your family swim with the big sperm whales, was breathtaking and awe inspiring. I adore seeing how respectful & loving you both are with Dorothy, Manila, & Cali, in how they love each other. What true gifts you're giving them, raising kind, strong, independent, explorers with a deep love of traveling our world. You're amazing parents, nurturing the happiest, well rounded kids I've ever seen.

[@resiliencebyveronica7601]

Wooow 🤩 how beautiful life can be 🤩🥰

[@mollyyyyy76]

ok ive watched this video over and over and over I just can't stop! ITS SOOOO GOOD!!! I would die for the experiences these kids have! also can we just appreciate how much work and editing skill goes into this video?! its insane how magical and personal it feels

[@EmpireFamily]

This footage is phenomenal 🎉 blessed

[@hannatoots1050]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!

[@iza.b4512]

Garret, Every time you play "here for a reason" with visuals of your grateful heart - my heart has a little reset of courage. Gratitude.

[@lwknicely]

You two are great parents and your kidos will remember all that was taught and the adventures you have taken. Beautiful blessings

[@cheryl9167]

your videos...❤, inspire us all to live our best lives!!!!

[@leeannmoore2302]

I’m 68 years young and have watched your story for years.I have never even come close to your life adventures but have lived thru you. I felt this truly felt this with tears pouring down my face. Thank you Bucket List Family for giving me an experience that I truly felt and appreciated.❤

[@barbaracilley8200]

I think the wheel were sleeping. Safety in numbers. It was awesome to watch each of you. What a fantastic place. Perfect place for Cali to perfect his surfing . Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@CalebBerkoski]

I love Garrets WOOOOW so much! Keep on and making amazing and memories for us and your kids.

[@freizeitdiys9068]

super special video! Happy Birthday Garrett and Dorothy!!!

[@tatianalascano5566]

This episode felt like magic

[@denisejones1863]

You are so blessed to travel and do what you do. Of course, if Garret had not taken the time to instill in the kids the love of swimming, surfing and the trust that he would "Keep them safe", they could not experience these things. So cute to see Cali, who was so afraid each step of the way become such a great swimmer and now surfer. All parents should take a lesson from this to push their kids into areas they might be afraid of so they can grow.

[@cherie6975]

Welcome to Mauritius guys

[@Smilingthroughmygrief]

I had chills through this whole video and tears and how incredible this experience was for you all. Watching Cali surf with the confidence that he did was so great! Happy early birthday Garrett and Dorothy!!

[@auozjan]

Oh stop it, I'm sitting here with tears of the majesty of these creatures - just being is just blessed.. thank you

[@mandystanhope]

This is incredible! What a magical moment for all of you. A memory that will live with the kids forever ❤

[@InbredDinnerWolves]

Such an epic trip....Cali is growing up so fast and is super smart. I think hes going to be one to really enjoy school, and it looks like he might fall in love with surfing too. The skinny dipping comment from Manilla had me laughing so hard😂......and the movie night was a cool touch to the trip as well. I will be sad when these videos stop....😢, also, by the way......thank you for the update on the bucket list cartoon......and we are inching closer to Jessicas book release.....CANT WAIT.....LETS GO❤💙💚

[@KS-jv1gs]

Ahhh, the ending gave me goosebumps! Made me tear up! Seeing all of you in the water swimming with all those whales!!! The music, the visual. I love your family! Thank you for these videos!

[@tThisNThat]

Wow seeing all those whales literally brought tears to my eyes, and that doesn't happen often. I am so grateful to past generations fighting to save these beautiful family oriented beings. I rarely hear anything about Sperm whale sightings, so to see this many just made my heart full! Thank you for sharing this to the world. Now it's time we save the sharks, just like they saved the whales.

[@mypackersrule]

I can’t imagine being there and all the emotions and excitement. I was crying by the of the vlog with all the beautiful and amazing wildlife. Love you guys. Peace ☮️ signs

[@pamelascholla4887]

There aren’t words to express my gratitude towards you and your family. I watch these videos with my children and you have helped shape their young minds with the examples you set. Pure love, always❤

[@seshaw41]

The most magical experience! How blessed to have witnessed such beauty!

I understand that Callie is so cute and gets all of the attention but we need to give a little attention to Manila and Dorthy! They have grown up so much from their first ever video. I still love you Callie though. Thank you for making memories with us and your kids !

[@sofiapassarolorenzo]

I unusually never comment BUT, this video made me cry tears of joy when seeing you with all those whales.. so emotional! 🥹 thank you for showing us the wonderful world we are living in 🫶🏼

[@randomvintagefilm273]

What a place is right! I met a man from Mauritius and his last name was BOUVET. Turns out his ancestor was a master mariner who was the first European to explore the islands. Glad you had a great time guys! ❤

[@whiterockgal]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I always leave feeling like you are such an amazing family, and the gifts that you are giving to your children is remarkable. To have all of these experiences on video to reflect on - you are amazing parents, remarkable humans and your children are so kind and loving. I literally cry at every video!

[@erinbirdsong]

Wow! The shot where you all all holding hands next to the whales gave me all the feels. Not a dry eye here it was so beautiful and amazing. I love living thru your adventures. Thank you @thebucketlistfamily for the amazing experiences.
