What is the 1st island you stayed on. I wanna look at prices. Thanks

[@prathameshrivonkar7215]

THIS DOCUMENTARY LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL! Amazing stuff!

[@LucasTJahn]

Thank you 🥰

[@conis4242]

I think it looks better actually

[@Deeq_official]

Very very good job u did and better national geographic I hope u fine man and you wife good lucky all The time

[@noun_trips]

True, great job

[@aburabaah7126]

Yeah true, I'm from Maldives 🇲🇻 still really exited and amazed with this beautiful documentary.

[@JohnCillis]

This is the best Maldives video I have ever seen. In '92 I snorkled over the coral reefs of Guam, from a Beach adacent to the Pacific Island club. Snorkeling just over those reefs, so my body would not touch them and damage their ecosystem, was heaven to me, and a swarm of yellow fish came to me and kissed my arms and legs so gently, it felt like the goosebumps when I met my fiance and when my daughter was born. I do not know the species of those yellow fish--I would just call them "Valium Fish", lol I almost think the director James Cameron must of gone thru the same experience, given his documentaries of the Oceans and the scene in the first Avatar movie where the fuzzy thingies fell and gently touched Jake's arms realizing he would protect life with compassion and not destroy it. That is how I feel in my travels that made me a now retired tourism systems instructor.

[@Axel-Jett]

As a Maldivian, I'm very impressed! Definitely the best documentary I've seen about the Maldives so far

[@hanakarimtaramashi6418]

It seems its veryyyy profesional ...not made by binginner mobile buyers!!

[@hanakarimtaramashi6418]

Woooe you are sooo lucky u born there ...not in hot middle east like me with scarf

[@mahiramajeed359]

i am also maldivian!

[@user-dw2df4ke8x]

@@hanakarimtaramashi6418 Maldives is a tropical country. Sometimes it gets very hot in here! I also wear a scarf in hot weathers, but now I'm used to it. It doesn't matter since I'm doing it for our Creator!

[@relaxationwithscenery]

Amazing and really astounding. Maldives' breathtaking natural beauty is beyond praise. really lovely surroundings Everything is quite lovely. It's as though Mother Nature has loved this place. Just go there and take in all the natural beauty you can. The locals protect the environment as if it were their own lives.

[@mdzh9667]

The pro level documentary which raised the benchmark how a travel blog should be

[@vinayk7]

The Quality of this documentary is unbelievable feels like "living" it

[@dmarkj22]

This channel deserves an award and needs to be recognized:

Thank you!

One of the best documentaries i have seen.....i would love to see a Kenyan travel destination documentary soon.

[@LucasTJahn]

Hopefully can visit Kenya soon :)

[@youngboo6578]

yay

[@nikinik5620]

I smiled throughout most of this video. You are an amazing editor and have a great eye. Your voice is also a treasure. I'm so glad that you are sharing your travels with us. I could definitely see these being used in schools as educational devices for students and a welcome break for teachers. Thank you!

[@mariakljajevic9527]

Soneva Fushi was my home for a year. I forgot how magical this place is, and how grateful I am for embarking on this journey 5 years ago. ❤️

[@andymurray1848]

I've seen many Maldives travel videos. But man, this is by far the best one!! Great work:)

[@nikzzi0511]

this is an educational documentary on maldives not the typical vlog

I really want to thank you for this visual treat. Made me fall in love with the Maldives. The editing and videography is out of the world, you deserve an applaud

[@lampurnas]

This is PRO! Amazing shots and impeccable story-telling skills.

[@jazgulronsch6722]

Incredible, especially the combination of "must see" destination paired with the preservation of this beautiful spot of earth through sustainability and environmental protection so that even our descendants can enjoy these dream islands in their natural beauty. Great work Anna and Lukas!

[@KK-eu6ym]

Im curious to know this 7 people what they didn’t like in this beautiful video !?

[@Iconifcmusic]

wow! Beautiful, breathtaking, amazing! This documentary is everything. thanks for showcasing from Kenya with love.

[@lifeincanadasl]

This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen in my life. Narration is also the same. Much more informative. Great work.

[@BBZ-008]

Sometimes people forget how beautiful nature can be. This is a reminder of the beauty that still remains in the world.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I'm putting it out in the universe! One day my husband and I will get to visit these magnificent place.

[@afrozshaikh1808]

A very unusual vlog. I didn't expect it to be the way it was. Amazing cinematography. I'm amazed to see the good side of these beautiful islands regarding waste management and their efforts to protect it. Thanks to YT for recommending me this video ❤️👍👌

[@HakunaMatata_1]

Wow wow wow. Such an amazing documentary. Should be on Netflix!!

[@LucasTJahn]

Thank you so much!

[@desislavpetrov2201]

One of the best doc I've seen about the Maldives! I'm sick and tired of seeing these vloggers shaking their backsides instead of covering a variety of interesting topics. Very well done!!

[@LucasTJahn]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!

[@jamieingels1190]

I agree.

[@rahulsen804]

I was waiting for this.Lots of love. Great video , keep it up.

[@BananamelonX]

I finally visited the Maldives in April this year. Finally one big tick off the bucket list was made! I saw so many fish in the ocean that I've only seen in books in the span of 3 days and they were in the hundreds, it was a true underwater paradise.

[@LucasTJahn]

They truly are a magical island chain to visit ❤

[@Olu-Olu]

Amazing travel vlog, more like a documentary, true travel journalism, very well made and different from most. I like your coverage of not just hotel rooms and lounges but environment, local wildlife, local issues etc. Your editing and going straight to the point showing enough to mesmerise but not to bore like most other videos was impeccable. Thanks Lucas...

[@LucasTJahn]

Thank you very much for your nice comment! We are really happy that you enjoyed our take on the Maldives, especially showing it from different perspectives. Hope to produce many more documentaries in the future :)

[@Looptraveller]

The Maldives islands are one of the few places on earth that everyone hopes to experience in their lifetime-The Maldive Islands boast of a vibrant and diverse ecosystem that is comprised of 21 dolphin and whale species, 400 molluscs species, 83 echinoderm species and an incredible 1,100 fish species. The country is also globally known for its vast coral colonies with a pulsating undersea life that attracts tourists from far and wide.

[@kennpasilei4549]

I just subscribed to your Channel Lucas! What a wonderful storytelling skills! I have made up my mind, I will visit Maldives in 2022. From Kenya With Love🇰🇪

[@fairworld2522]

Wow..I am truly impressed by the beauty of the Maldives. And really boosted even more with this great documentary.

[@omarlagasca7487]

Quarantining in Maldives…amazing!

[@tejashreemd]

I really appreciate, this was one of the best travel diaries ever , you have not just shown yourself having fun but have covered almost all the topics and much needed topics. The glass making and everything els was unknown cause , others haven't even mentioned that part of the Maldives. You are on the right track of creating travel content. Also the voice over is very soothing to hear. I usually am impatient to watch a 40 min video but frankly speaking I didn't realise how time passed. Also I am an architecture student doing my final year project on Aquatecture, so this entire video was very helpful in terms on everything- the good things and the problems that had to be taken care of for the environment. Thank you for this video, good vibes your way ❤

[@LucasTJahn]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment! This always makes our day. We definitely tried to not just capture the pretty sides, but to raise some awareness too, so very happy that you enjoyed this :)

[@elizabethgordon6640]

Your comment sums up everything I was thinking to comment!

[@daintyflygirl4va]

Was stocking your channel yesterday hoping you'll upload new vid.And here you are with a new one.Thank you so much.

[@gracewolf16]

I would cry if I got to witness the turtle hatchlings. Actually... I would cry if I one day get to go to Soneva Jani or Fushi, and then I would bawl my eyes out crying, if I could see the hatchlings.

[@angangaus]

much ❤️ to both of you. you flood my mind with happiness and relaxation. am still waiting for the east african road trip🇰🇪🇹🇿🇺🇬🇪🇹

You have taken me on yet another great holiday without leaving my armchair!! Everything you put into your videos are outstanding. Many safe travels to you and your wife Anna.

[@paulajbaker6739]

I want to go!❤ Beautiful video! The Maldives are absolutely incredible! You two do a wonderful job of showing off the absolute beauty of this paradise and bio diversity and struggles to keep the eco system intact to preserve this place forever. Appears to be a great staff as well. Those little turtles were awesome as well. Thank you for sharing your adventures.❤

[@louisasmith9388]

In an earlier comment, I didn’t mean to come off as an eco-“warrior.” Just an *eco-evangelist!* And the resort looked FANTASTIC. It is important to LIVE IN THE NOW, not catastrophize about events we may yet avert if we pull together. We can. Glad you didn’t let the pandemic hold you back and the resort tries to keep things safe. We must “manage the risk” of everything on life (not cower, doing nothing at all). Terrific video.

[@robusttj]

Very professional and clarity and precision is better than that of some television channels. Keep up the good work Lucas!

[@zouaouiasahraoui5398]

I loved the glass recycling business so much. A wonderful idea to keep the island so clean first, and second our land...

[@johnm84]

Maldives is beautiful awesome and incredible and I would love to go to Maldives oneday and I am going to spend my honeymoon with my future with in Maldives too.

[@Kakashi-tn7dm]

Earth at it's best, so heaven looks like this 😍

[@kweenme8101]

The host is soooo right. Being quarantined on a tropical island does not feel like quarantine. I happened to be living in Hawaii. and it was wonderful.

[@melisaco79]

The rain looks so beautiful! I look forward to experiencing this soon!

[@elwingy]

This video seems as much a documentary about Maldives as one for Soneva as well! Very very well done. You filmed things that nobody else has bother to. Thank you!

[@blackmarlin3166]

Such a wholesome travel video it's got a little bit of everything. This is easily one of the best travel vlogs I've seen.

Baa, Noono and Llavhiyani Atolls are my playgrounds for the last 15 years for fly fishing. Living on board of Kandi Hibaru , we would sail from island to island chasing our main quarry - the bonefish or the ghost of the flats. An amazing place - heaven on earth. All on catch and release basis.

[@kathrynsweeney1902]

Thank you Lucas for such a stunning informative insight into the Maldives. Seeing what Soneva are trying to do to protect the reefs - coral regeneration and Non Burning is so important to protect these fragile islands. Its on my bucket list to visit.Loved your bit on the turtles was so lucky to witness this myself in Mexico as they hatched and made their way to the sea only to be attacked by frigate birds. On my own I acted like a lunatic waving my arms to fend them off. Massive fail but saved a few. Massively affected me but its nature. Keep doing these posts.Put Costa Rica on your map.Nature at its finest. Pura Vida

[@LucasTJahn]

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Kathryn. Very glad you enjoyed the video! Check out our channel to find our travel documentary on Costa Rica :)

[@louisasmith9388]

So beautiful there. I’m so glad the people who own resorts and live there told you about all the horrors they face right now, and other horrors they likely will face if we all do nothing. They have things worse than most places (immediately at sea level, dependent on coral and the ability to host tourists), BUT much of the world faces similarly drastic problems. And some who feel safe bc not near water (landlocked bit with well water, springs, etc for water right now), will experience drastic weather changes ... a FEW places currently dry may become the world’s “breadbasket” but others never expecting it (or so it seems, unless it’s “psychological denial”) will not be able to get food so easily. The honesty blew me away- so glad to hear it. And if any of the science and observations change, then we can all follow and learn- but it could be less awful or MORE than most climate scientists have so far generally agreed (on a consensus). In the 1980s, I knew acid rain would hurt the oceans, did research on mere tidepools bc my advisors - all university profs (I was not even yet on high school) - thought and said “the ocean(s) can absorb anything we throw at them.” Not so, and acid rain is one of many different climate change problems. I wish I’d sought to publish the paper (a kid doing that could t get into any great normals, even with known scientists as advisors), bc I was never great at some aspects of science education and pursued a different career than science. It would have been SAD but interesting to see the response to an “early” paper on cid rain affecting the ocean, or even “merely killing algae at normal rates of pH - increasingly acidic-“found in the study locale, and in certain cities. Jennifer Dundas the Nobel laureate in chemistry for 2020 (or 21, when she had to accept remotely on a formal speech given by all recipients on all fielded remotely, due to the pandemic)... apparently has said she was as a mere sophomore in college (university equivalent) going to give up on chemistry as a major (concentration) and switch to French literature. Nothing wrong with the latter but all are lucky (not just her) that she was urged not to give up too soon. The same might be said, to come full circle, about the neeed to take some pretty urgent steps (like right NOW!) to save the earth on some form most can still inhabit it (most or all humans AND most species.... we are losing so much incredibly important biodiversity). I love that the resort you stayed at is intending to bring in sturdy coral, afyet findong species that are sturdier than what was shown (so sad). Great video... hits the key “lovely resort spot” button for those who haven’t been to the Maldives, AND reminds us they need help now, and soon we’ll ll realize the earth everywhere needs help!

[@louisasmith9388]

*Edit (a true edit is not possible for me just NOW): sorry about those typos! And didn’t mean to come off as an eco-“warrior.” Just an eco-evangelist! And the resort looked FANTASTIC. It is important to LIVE IN THE NOW, not catastrophize about events we may yet avert if we pull together. We can. Terrific video.
