Down the Rabbit Hole || Exploring Rarotonga, Cook Islands

[@thamarmanrique1502]

Here next to me is my hubby watching whatever he is watching on tv and me…. With my headphones watching your adventures!!! A thousand times better than any huge comercial production!! I’m just super happy I’m still years behind so I can keep watching like 20 episodes a day 😂😂😂😂😂

[@GPosner8]

I came home this evening after a particularly difficult shift, poured a “sundowner” and adventures with my favorite sailing couple, the mighty Wynn’s. You two have no idea the restorative and recuperative power your videos provide me. Saying “thank you” is not enough. Just know that I can face another day because I can leave it all behind when I watch you explore. 👍😉🥰⛵️

[@gonewiththewynns]

Awe, thanks for coming along & being part of the virtual crew. 😻

[@searsrachel2927]

Wow! you guys, thank you for that awesome hike. As you were describing it at the end of the video, I too said Pacific North West. I lived there for several years and loved hiking in the foothills and mountains. The Cook Islands look amazing. What an awesome way to see the world. Fair winds and safe travels to you and yours. Rae

[@kevincarey1076]

Such great hospitality from everyone on the island! Sure makes a port-of-call even better!WOW, that was a "LEGIT" hike !! and amazing views too! Thanks for taking us on the adventure!Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity!

[@brianblanchette9506]

My Sunday Winns fix, I can finally start my day...What a beautiful place, thanks for taking me there.

[@iotianooroa812]

Thanks again, when I was up those hills, there were no tracks or ropes etc. Thanks and God bless you two.

[@tombarker3608]

You continue to amaze me with your adventures and the places you go. Thank you for taking me along. Safe travel you four.

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys that some real beautiful scenery. From your fans here in the Central Florida swamps stay safe we love y'all.🐾

[@MichaelBuck]

What an amazing hike with amazing views. That's why we do what we do, to get to those places you can only get to by exploring. Loved that view of the sun shining through the clouds, such a serine and spiritual moment. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Have a blessed and safe day wherever you are!!!

[@KristianOye]

We were lucky enough to get "stuck" in the Cook Islands (Raro and Aitutaki) for 3 months this year thanks to Covid ;-) Love to promote the islands, now! Great video!

[@1978Tbk]

Kristian Oye Most definitely worse places to be in quarantine!😉

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

What a hike and climb up the mountain. Well done and nice video. Thank you. 👍👍⛵️

[@JeremyCRunge]

Absolutely stunning. What a place to visit.

[@bethmeredith2266]

Just gotta say ... "I love you guys!!!" Thanks for another great video. I'm hooked!

[@gonewiththewynns]

YEA BABY! 😍

[@vintagenurse17]

I have found with traveling, that the unplanned and the unexpected, are some of the best adventures! Thank you, as always, for taking us along!❤️💜

[@jamiluvvi6736]

Oh gosh I jusy adore watching you guys live. It takes me places I will never go as a young adventurous person I can't ever be again. 🤗

[@SkylinersYeti]

Think 70 years young and living at 5000 feet. Key, think young at heart and stay fit . Thank you for sharing your adventures, I do enjoy your videos.

[@gonewiththewynns]

I hope we’re living our adventure at 70 too...it could very well be in the mountains.

[@99999janice]

I know how you feel. I lived in Europe for 9.5 years and never went to any English speaking country. Then returned to the good ole USA and had to wrap my brain around full time English again. It took me 6 months to feel comfortable. Great vid. Thanks.

[@gonewiththewynns]

haha, too funny.

[@petronics2454]

It's so enjoyable travelling along with with Nikki and Jas, a real treat indeed. A nature trail with QR Stations -well that's taking advantage of moderna technica. Just love your story telling. Cheers.

[@kanewillhoft5616]

Just before you said "PNW" I had just thought it. I love how your music has become more and more relaxed as you spend more of your adventures in the South Pacific. You don't have any thump thump music, which I do find slightly irritating when on other sites. Travel safe and thank you so much for your amazing gift of sharing your world.

[@davidj.jorgensen4828]

Thx for sharing with us landlubbers. I am only stuck for a short time now. It will be like someone left the gate open😜😜🌊🏄🏼‍♂️🧜🏼‍♀️

[@davidj.jorgensen4828]

I have to ask , did U2 try the Wim Hof Method I mentioned this weekend. It is perfect fit for your already super lifestyle 🌬🥶❤️🙏🏼🌊🦋

[@williamlawton4451]

What was I thinking they can’t keep this up but to my surprise you did great video beautiful photography nice storytelling and as always I love your spirit of adventure can’t wait for next Sunday Funday

[@axecuttimber8307]

O what a Beautiful island . Thank you for taking us along !!!!!!!!!

[@thelifeofjools8384]

Incredible views of the tree/foliage covered mountains...they're what I imagine Earth looked like before humans arrived...such beauty ! It makes me sad to think what we have destroyed as a species.... Thanks for the beautiful insight..... All the best !

[@Bill23799]

Thank you for NOT saying " foilage ".

[@BigPowerAL]

We enjoyed Raru a few months ago. Great people, good food and fun adventures in and out of the water. Thanks for sharing your visit.

[@MrAl1903]

My wife and I loved Roratonga we hiked the Needle it was a great time looking forward to your next video

[@caltex1969]

Nikki is a great story teller. And that camera work where you made it look like you were in a hole was just awesome.

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

Awesome people and gorgeous scenery! Have and always enjoy! Thank You I loved it!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Wonderful, just wonderful views - stunning, lovely.

[@outofchips]

It is extremely inhibiting combining videoing with hiking. That, followed by professional, high-quality editing deserves many kudos. OUTSTANDING.

[@robinknight8012]

Wow that was a heck of a climb and an equally heck of a descent. Absolutely beautiful place. That’s a place a guy, ( and girl ) could spend a lot of time. It would be a tough decision to leave there.

[@OneGenericName]

One word description: amazing! Thanks for taking us along.

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Another big thumbs up a great hike with the Wayne my favorite couple selling the ocean finding out the destination little take them to

[@bornodnoc1034]

You guys are getting good at this video stuff. You & SLV are my 2 favorites.

[@sinderellaattheball9998]

😂 OMG Nikki ... I just noticed you bought that hat from an earlier video! I loooooved it then & it looks faaaabulous! 👍

[@gonewiththewynns]

Right, it's a fun one.

[@Eric-ye5yz]

I am impressed, you get to see everything you can at a time when most Americans think the world begins at the Atlantic east coast and finishes at the pacific west coast.

[@gonewiththewynns]

ha, that is true...

[@LTDunltd]

Another awesome adventure day. Love watching you guys as you explore another little piece of this majestic planet. Hard to believe that you've been sailing for 2 and half years. I've been following your adventure since you re-riged before heading to Panama. Looking forward to next week's video.

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

My God, what an awesome hike...Wowww. Now that is one heck of a super place to visit. Love it! Thanks Jason and Nikki! Cheers! 🍷🍹🍻👍😎

[@thomasjanos2030]

Fantastic views. Thanks for sharing you guys rock. I look so forward to you videos each week

[@davidtordoff1232]

What a view! Had a similar experience, not quite as nice though, on a mountain in Puerto Rico in the rain forest. Amazing changes in the environment as you get altitude. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@michelefussell2456]

Catching up on some missed videos..love you guys

[@whitneylake2107]

Thank you both for another beautiful Sunday. I am up in Montana after a snowstorm. What a contrast !

[@radekdrayco]

Amazing hike, Amazing island and Amazing people as showcased in the previous 2 Cook Island episodes.

[@LifeisBetterExploring]

I love the photography of the thumbnail and the video effect at the top of the mountain. Such amazing shots. I hope we get that good one day. Thanks for sharing!

[@megrier]

Love this video! I really look forward to your videos ever week. You guys are so enjoyable to watch, love the relax you have. So intelligent too! 😉

[@bubbagail7450]

Great vid guys. It would hard to say what is the best thing about your travels, the things you see or the people you meet.

[@juno2013]

What an incredible day you had! Very inspiring.

[@SailingBluefin]

An impressive hike in an incredibly beautiful place. Love the inclusion of the 360 video bits. We love our Insta 360, so much flexibility and captures things you might otherwise miss! 😀

[@gonewiththewynns]

yea, as long as it's not overused I think it's a fun addition to a vid. :)

[@BobMuk08]

Do you two ever look for Geocaches? some amazing locations for hides! love the 'feel' you give of these places.

[@lloyddahlen1141]

Thanks for sharing again, just beautiful guys thank you 👍👍🇺🇸

[@pillypoo1]

Lovely , just lovely , as always , just lovely , even when you get a little pissed off, just lovely .

[@cocomari7313]

Very nice hike! Love watching you guys, so adventurous! 🙌

[@meadowbrookguideservice8359]

Awesome! Love your hat Nikki. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324]

That view at 11:55! Breathtakingly beautiful

[@CindyAndrade100]

I never wanted more until it’s video!!!! What an amazing place!!

[@gonewiththewynns]

A truly amazing place.

[@radsdad1]

8:26 I agree, Jason.

[@petermcnaughton9031]

A beautiful place in the pacific and people so friendly , I think cook island and Fiji would be my pick love them

[@SeaTreeWonder]

Thank you for bringing us along on your hike up the mountain. Epic experience, gorgeous views and another wonderful episode!

[@atomicclock455]

And yet, another great video. What a hike....gorgeous views. Glad to see the locals re so nice.

[@davidtaylor2777]

I so enjoyed this mornings video! What an absolutely beautiful experience it looks like you had. I especially loved that hike. I was thinking how at my age and present physical condition that trail would be such a challenge for me and my wife, AND then you got to the part where there was a rope for climbing the rocks ! Shew ! I so enjoyed climbs like that in my younger years and you had me reminiscing about the “good ole days”! I would still try it today and I would EVENTUALLY make it up to enjoy that awesome view. Ha Ha ! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I so enjoy are 15 minutes together !

[@gonewiththewynns]

Our pleasure to have you along for the adventure. 😍

[@StMyles]

Incredible adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@sausage5849]

Well done climbing that!! It's going to be great seeing ya's climb the Needle next week (or will they chicken out?) :-) Thanks sharing once again, you guys rock!

[@mrc1539]

Thanks for a peek down the rabbit hole, your videos are awesome and really appreciated.

[@medowieron5292]

Been there 16 times, love the people love the environment, Cross island walk is great.

[@andredupuis5432]

🦋 It’s always refreshing to see how you’re amazed by nature’s little pleasures. Thanks for the discoveries thru your camera ! Cheers 🥂

[@gonewiththewynns]

Even in the RV we'd see chipmunks or deer and spend an hour watching them. A lot of people think "oh it's just another deer" but I think the little things are just as awesome as the big ones.

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

cup of coffee in hand,time for the wynns its a sunday win............

[@willmcphaul6658]

Bottle of Beer, but the same idea.

[@conniewilson7318]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video this AM💕 as always and what a gorgeous picture of the sun peeking out over the lagoon, good capture!

[@TheFosterJourney]

Don't look down!!!! Love the climb 😍

[@orobiller1]

Awesome as always you two!!

[@Jeppe.P.Bjerget]

Love the pictures of the beautiful Island. Wish you a great and safe week

[@rrojasg68]

I follow many cruisers and your the only one so far that I know explored the Cook Islands!

[@jimself8214]

Wow, guys! This was beautiful! And that trail looked like a legit workout, too! I do enjoy your posts; keep up the great work. :-)

[@rickbartley9255]

What an awesome island!

[@spandananallapati4140]

Fantastic video once again. Almost felt like I could breathe the fresh air you were breathing. Also glad you didn't get a rash of any kind this time! As a doc, I was so sad watching your journey of healing last time.

[@cassiestearman4927]

You two have some of the most AMAZING experiences, thank you so very much for sharing! ❤

[@jeffwhiting511]

Well, that was way too short! Ha ha!! We love the Wynns!!

[@dwdtube1111]

Thank you guys to help me re-live my time in Rarotonga (1999) - BEAUTIFULLY captured.

[@seacrowstudios]

The climb looked kind of similar to the Glasshouse Mountains, near where we live. Definitely not somewhere to be caught when it rains, so kudos for hustling back down. Jason and Nikki, yet another excellent production, and we are loving the doco type feel that these vids have. Again, very well done. Andy and Jo.

[@gmoorman73]

WOW! Thanks for taking us along!

[@jahmasuniverse9282]

Wow... May love an honor come your way with all my heart you guys are so brave I look up to you happy trails🌹🌱🐛🐢🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

[@Drebo1971]

Wow! That vertical climb with ropes is intense! Nicely done. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@outofchips]

Williams said everything there is to find to make a good life can be found in your own backyard. Others believe it all germinates from inside oneself. In your case your yard happens to stretch far and wide.

[@jimnasium1957]

My two most favorite South Pacific sailors! The only notification I look forward to all week! I send you much love from Dayton, Ohio and thank you for letting this senior old man live vicariously through the both of you. Love you both and the kitties too!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Glad to have you on board Jim ⛵

[@daniellesinclair8304]

I climbed this exact mountain there is a beautiful veiw

[@jodymooney255]

Oh my g.., such a beautiful island and hike. It's on my bucket list! Thanks guys!

[@gebi4pejo1]

Cook Islands is on my bucket list too, nearly went once, but one day🌞

[@AndreasEUR]

Don't wait, do :D

[@lizmasi9918]

Well when you got to the ropes I was saying to myself, nope I'm not going up that! But when you got to the top it was well worth it. You never know what is going to be around the corner. Life with surprises. Love

[@earthangel8730]

I thought I'm not going DOWN that! Yikes.

[@gonewiththewynns]

😆😆

[@brianjoyce9040]

Another Win for the Wynn’s all around fun life

[@MaxLYoungblood]

It should be on a t-shirt " I Don`t Know Were I`m Going But I`ll Know When I Get There"

[@klouism1]

Beautiful hike thanks for taking us along. Such a nice place to visit.

[@unconventionalme8048]

Another wonderful show!!! Love you guys! And thank you (again!!!!) And them climbs on the trail we’re serious! Beautiful hike tho!

[@raymondstrunk4770]

Wow! What great scenery!

[@MarkdWallis]

This was a very enjoyable video to watch. Keep them coming!

[@trulz69]

The Cook Islands are definitely on my bucket list =)

[@debbiem7834]

And another great video this morning! I've missed you two the last 2 weeks, I was on my own adventure exploring the castles on the Rhine river. But so nice to nestle back into my Sunday morning routine with you guys!

[@propergander8509]

Debbie Mrad It’s crazy to think that people actually go vacation in your home region. I went to visit the Eltz castle just a week ago... first time in more than a decade visiting any touristy places in the region. I hope you had a great time here in Germany!

[@gonewiththewynns]

oh man... there's so much we have to explore.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

What a special hike looks stunning and seems like you are hating every minute of it

[@gonewiththewynns]

That's not true. We stopped to smell the flowers, appreciate the butterflies, the history, the wind, the views, the massive taro leaves.....

[@geoffhoughton4148]

Glad you're loving 'Raro' - we did on our visit.

[@Pabkojdim]

Man that Ray of sun sunshine is definitely the life
