LIFE ON A REMOTE ISLAND YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF

[@valn1195]

oh wow this reminds me of my childhood in tonga! thanks for sharing this perspective, most people really only think of resorts and beaches when i talk about tonga but the culture and community are vital to truely experience the island in its fullest

[@bacca71]

Lots of really cool content, but to me the 'bubble-blowing' part was a very impressive feat of bubble blowing and videography to catch it like that. Perfect!

[@RogerWilco1]

That was just a spectacular episode. KZbin is its own medium and the stories are different and you are pushing the art forward. BRAVO.

[@jeffreycrockett6847]

This video shows that it is not all about money and big houses and the amount of stuff you have to live a happy life. I like how it is not about you living your best life, but how can I help everyone around me live their best life while enjoying life.

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Nikki looks like a Hollywood star during it's golden years like the sixties. That iconic Jackie - O timeless style.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

What did the dolphin say when it broke its neighbor’s window? “It wasn’t on porpoise!”

[@gonewiththewynns]

😜😝

[@MaShcode]

They asked the dolphins why they swim with the tuna. And they replied: “Just for the halibut”

[@It-b-Blair]

😂😂

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Dolphriends...that is a genius pun, well played and pretty cool to not only swim with dolphins but also see a zebra shark. Though it is a shame they're endangered due to commercial fishing. They're so gorgeous, why would anyone want to hunt them for their fins? Seeing the children's curiosity with the camera is hilarious. Curiosity is a beautiful thing, and children are born scientists, endlessly curious about their world. Something that motivates our mind, and why we must never let that curiosity die as we get older

[@wwomannc4834]

Absolutely blown away by this family. Ty so much for just taking the time to hang with them! I’d love to see more! Wow, what a rewarding lifestyle of living simple off the land, loving and helping others. And the dolphfriends!!!! You guys just keep me amazed! ❤️❤️❤️🙏💯🐳

[@hellyavard8552]

What a wonderful look at island life back to the old days! Just lovely to see thank you Nikki and Jason!

[@JBHARLEYGUY]

By far one of the top 10 videos from you guys!! Loved it!

[@johnnylightning1491]

You guys are having wayyy too much fun for only 2 people. You need to fly myself and my wife out to see you guys so you don't OD on fun. The stories you will have to tell, my goodness. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@marylyon1230]

This has to be the best you have ever put out. I am amazed with the photography, editing and your hearts that put so much into it.

[@mikeymarteniz5149]

[@ianh2674]

Wonderful island spirit and community

[@ciegacita]

I wonder how much you guys film and don't use... I like this episode and getting to see this small community that I will never meet

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

It's best not to say a dolphin pun they might flip people out

[@jmsask]

I couldn't imagine what it's like to live like they do. I don't think my mind could deal with the lack of stress it would never be the same again! Thank you this is a great way to start my Sunday ✌

[@randallthrift1249]

I'm sure it would find a way. One coconut at a time. :-)

[@jmsask]

@@randallthrift1249 I might go nutty that way :)

[@randallthrift1249]

@@jmsask or coco loco. :-) But stress free

[@donb4386]

Well that’s a perspective of island life we don’t often see. Nice!

[@dianegriffith3006]

Why this this episode made me feel so weepy? I LOVED it -love the whole community theme going here-everyone helps each other/sweet-plus dolphin play-thank you Nikki and Jason!

[@stilcrazychris]

Oh how I wished so bad, I would of got stuck during the COVID-19 Virus, w/this Swiss Family Robertson of that island, I can't remember the name to even save my life. Someone kill me now,😢🔫. Great video & times. Be safe & have a blast for me to, Chris from Missouri

[@got2flynow]

It's Sooo hard to shoot yourself in the foot while you are underwater and swimming with dolphins. 🤣 And why would you?? ok... at 5:58 you almost sounded like Phoebe from Friends. 😂 Coconut Team Work works!! 😆 In the end... it's the same on this island as it is for nearly all of the rural places on earth. it's a simple life. The basics... People. Food. Laughing. Ice Cream. Children. Friendships. and Love.

[@robertlafollette2236]

Thank you great video. Great Sunday to you. God Bless.

[@joanneerickson4093]

Hated for this video to end. But I think that every Sunday! Thank you 💜

[@robinherrick5777]

I’ve been watching you two since your RV days, and I sense a connection to this place that I haven’t often seen from you before. I hope however long or short your stay is that it continues to bring you the joy you share with us.

[@SarahandMarek]

You had me at swimming with dolphriends 😍

[@KrissyMeow]

Heard about the volcano and tsunami and immediately thought of all that you showed of Tonga. I hope all your friends are safe. I know contact is non-existant for everyone it seems. 😞

[@JackMayer]

Great music choices this week! Enjoyed the view of island life.

[@chrispomfret8592]

The Wynns videos just make the world a better place. Thank you

[@SpearTheSeas]

The red rooster is a testament to the rugged reliability of old toyotas.

[@terryford3527]

Another Wynn chronicle transcending the RV/Sailing narrative. May you both continue to be joyful, safe, and in peace. Thank you.

[@khoatran9482]

The music along with shot placement & timings were on point. 👌

[@pavana2810]

It’s so for real there. Thanks for letting us tag along. Luv you guys.

[@blueravenfire]

swimming with dolphins and experiencing island life. truly living the dream. :)

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Y'all look like you're enjoying yourselves with all the locals. Loved this video!

[@MrOso36]

One thing is for sure. They grow beautiful chidden on that island.

[@davefoster7770]

You're on a list now Joe. Throw away innocent comments that can be taken the wrong way are now there forever on the internet to be used against you years later.

[@MrOso36]

Ah... No.

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very nice video 👍👍

[@notwhatiwasraised2b]

Nicki's body suit is especially flattering, as if her figure needs flattering

[@SeaTreeWonder]

Ahhhh... awesome, ahhhmazing & totally WONDERful dolphriends!!!!! Like wow, WoW, WOWWWW!! Really cool! Swimming and playing with the dolphins must have been sooooo exhilarating!!! ....... And seeing through your eyes and lens life on a remote island with a remote village was really special & beautiful! Life in such a remote place means appreciating even the most basic of items. Appreciating the most basic of things & repurposing them for even more use, even after they are no longer fit for their first use, is such a valuable lesson & inspiration for all of us. Thank YOU for sharing!

[@fllini99]

There’s something so beautiful and simple here. So clean and fresh I could cry.

[@nattersar77]

Fascinating to learn about how other people live! Another great episode Wynns!

[@sinoperture]

G'Day All, Can you guys get more infos and interviews on how Dior was schooled and the general issues around raising a child on the move. I'm sure it is something that you guys would be looking into as well as not sure anyone would be able to choose between starting a family or exploring, but there comes a time when reality settles in and how to approach that and/or mesh the two would be super informative. Many viewers I am sure would be wondering the same and thinking about 0-5-10 year plans too.

[@Iris-zm2pc]

In 2017 a Dutch TV show (Floortje naar het einde van de wereld) did an episode on the Sheen family. I must say, you did a WAY better job. While I enjoyed the episode on dutch TV I think your storytelling, cinematography and general vibe / contact with the familiy is much better. A job well done! :)

[@sandyj342]

On Sunday's I have sign outside my door.... Gone with the Wynns !

[@jamestnov41945]

Beautiful little island.

[@deanallen2862]

The first comment should be important. The Wynns and S V Curiosity are on another beautiful island whose name I will forget. Nikki has a name and beauty I will never forget. Jason can be a goof most of the time, but I have noticed he does have the ability to focus and do work when necessary. I have followed them around the world and to a degree live vicariously through them. I am old enough I can consider them like my children. I laugh with them, worry about them even pray for their safety.

[@elizabethtrainer9732]

I agree, however Jason is not just a "goof" who has the ability to do work when necessary, he WORKS all the time, AND he works tirelessly!

[@laurence9695]

He's also a fantastic photographer, and can even repair a few things on the boat. Priceless.

[@johndonaldson5126]

What an interesting peek into the lives of others much different from ours. Thanks.

[@garybaker6548]

Great video! Very relaxing to sit here with my cup of coffe and watch a simpler life style. Swimming with dolphriends, collecting coconuts for a woman in need, handing down an unused stove, helping a local fisherman repair his boat, children seeing themselves in a camera for probably the first time, having a race with the local boys--my, what a great example of what humanity should be about. However, my favorite part was Nikki saying, "the only influencers are the elders". Oh, for such days gone by!!

[@Arkietravler]

Y'all are amazing! Nikki should start a meditation recording on the ocean and sell it to people. I think she's the only person who could tell me to calm down and breathe and I'd actually do it. 🤣🤣😂😂

[@kevincarey1076]

Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity.

[@normamimosa5991]

Wonderful Australian family and delightful, resourceful islanders!

[@mitchpeddicord3715]

Actually had a thought when Nikki was narrating about the family of ex-pats and how well they’ve integrated into the local community that she was thinking about her and Jason settling down on the island. Such wistfulness in her voice. Great video guys. I look forward to Sunday mornings for this very reason. Fair winds and following seas

[@stephanieburns4560]

Yes, I get the feeling that may be their next adventure.

[@lowellmccormick6991]

The Red Rooster reminds me of my friend's Ozark $h1t rig. It ain't pretty but it gets the job done.

Great job landing that sponsor!

I love the remote island life videos - the juxtaposition of ancient and modern life. You guy's are really capturing the feel of Nomuko.

[@lindawientjes7015]

The culture in Tonga is delightful! Glad it has avoided the tourist trap mentality. Of course cyclone season keeps people away and now fear of volcanos on the ring of fire..

Absolutely stunning perspective on Tongan Island life people, we haven't been back for a trip but you've made us reminiscent! So lovely to see everyone pitching in together, just being one community. We can't decide if this was our favourite one of many of your vids - you give us such pleasure, knowledge & wonder. Well played again team ⛵🤙❤

[@marxsinfo]

So much Fun “ have a great adventure guys .. love it 🥰

[@viatravelers]

The Kingdom of Tonga is a blessed archipelago, and the Numuka is one of its fascinating islands to explore. Hoping to be able to visit the island someday.

Who else and where does anyone but the Wynns start the day by saying , "we are swimming with dolphins"? Enviable, thanks for sharing!

[@blossom_n_gin]

I'm literally sitting here watching, smiling ear to ear - what a wonderful video!

[@californiakayaker]

I had a treat (they thought so anyway) called eskimo ice cream. It was rancid seal oil mixed with blue berries, they called it eskimo ice cream. Definitely an acquired taste ! You should get a bigger boat and grow a coconut tree on it ! WOWOW, your brave taking those eggs on the red dragon ! emotionally beautiful episode. heart warming.

[@joeypilewsky1148]

Such a happy little peaceful paradise and I love it!!

[@jonathanvince8173]

So wonderful to know of these things as how to treat others with full respect.

Sorry if you already posted this but Nikki, where did you get that cute swimsuit/rash guard you wore when swimming with the dolphins?

[@cassiehearn1996]

This is honestly amazing and I’ve always dreamed and wished I could live like this one day but I would never even know how to start! So happy for all of you to be living out your dreams! It’s amazing! You both so kind and humble! 😍

[@lymarchand]

Jason & Niki, I’m Tom’s mom!!! Thank you for this video, for me your last 2 videos are the best one yet. To show how people live on these island and how happy they are just by being in the present. ❤️. I hope that one day I will be able to go and visit these beautiful islands. Thank you 🙏

Well hello! We have had so much fun getting to know Tom. He is such a good soul and makes us laugh every day. Hopefully the borders will open and you can come experience it all.

I watched your vlog on KZbin last night and was really disappointed you 'pitched' OMAZE after I informed you I purchased $100.00 of entries for the May 6, 2021 drawing for a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter + Camper Installation + $20,000.00 and made you aware of the fact I was never notified who the winner was. Today is 26 May. I am additionally abused of multiple changes of NGO's who were alleged recipients of said funds. J. J. Breland Addendum: I find OMAZE by and through your vlogs advertising negligent and culpable under Federal Statutes of the United State Department of Justice. ATTENTION: #KZbin

Tell your island buddy to get a Sur Ron X e-bike... 50mph! It’s more like a motorcycle. It would chew up that road, lovin’ it all the way. I have one and it’d be awesome on his island. It’s got great tourist too, I pull my 115ib German Shepherd in a cart all over town.

[@SalvatoreDeRoseSr]

Loving and inspiring. You always find the perfect balance of interesting and hopeful. Loving and caring. Fun and oh crap WHAT? LOL thank you 😃 👍

[@ihmesekoilua]

I was just going to skip these because... well, I thought it's just gonna be more people in huts eating coconuts. And turns out, that's exactly what it is. And it's amazing. It's an utterly unique way of life, with amazing, resourceful, friendly, gorgeous people... I'm so glad I watched it.

[@ghotiiii1]

Sadly the beach barn and farm were swept away when the volcano island of Hunga Tonga blew up (like something straight out of 'Joe Versus the Volcano') in 2022, destroying the west coast of Nomuka with a Tsunami, taking most of the trees and covering the island with ash. Fortunately the Sheen family were away, refitting their yacht in preparation of the return of whale watching guests, and the family friend, Sam, who was looking after the horses and other animals, managed to save most of them. The Pacific can be just as cruel as it is beautiful. It's a shame, but at least the English-speaking migrants (or 'ex-pats' as they like to call themselves) have somewhere to return to; The Islanders do not.

[@chapternext3518]

Just enthralled and in love with this place and this family!

[@leegrass6954]

Why isn’t this on cable TV? This is fantastic! It’s so well edited that it is entirely professionally done and artistically done congratulations!

Thank you so much for for the enjoyment and enrichment you bring to your viewers lives!❤️🙏🌈

[@SamuelKTennis]

Kids are kids are kids everywhere, hams one and all. Except where they are afraid you wuill steal their souls! buwahahaha How many traffic fatalities do they suffer a year? Do they have a fund for survivors? A branch of MADD? ;-)

[@FB-osi]

Thank you for sharing! Just wanted to share a little funny tidbit...your sailboat is named Curiosity and you two are in Tonga. The Tongan group The Jets has a song titled “curiosity.” I just chuckled at the thought. Also, thank you for sharing and educating a Tongan girl a bit of home. May you two continue to prosper!

[@MaShcode]

Was hoping for the real Thonga. Oh well. Soon. Maybe? Reading Voices in the Ocean by Susan Casey about her journey into dolphin societies.

[@MrMojo271]

Nikki, I looked up riding in truck beds out of curiosity, as I also grew up riding in the back of trucks. The laws vary by state , as you can imagine, but TX you are still allowed if over 18.

[@billwrinkle9662]

What I'm curious about is how people like The Sheen's show up on a tiny island like this and acquires a piece of property. Was it for sale? Are they renting it? Is the island so sparsely populated that anybody willing to settle there and contribute to the economy and the community is welcome? Are the Sheen family now citizens? Still tourists? Also interested in how cash works on that island. I hope to see more of this island. I've already been living in Asia for 20 years now, and this kind of island life does appeal to me and is what I'm hoping for in 6-8 years.

[@acesecure9817]

Boat parts... HEY They could help fix your starter or upcycle a temp fix! Hopefully get the water running on curiosity :)

[@xr680r]

A much better and much appreciated report. Much better then the media gives here in California, we're it's all about how it effects us. Thanks for making the effort to inform. You are blessed to have left the area when you did.
