We LOVE you Tonga! Special THANKS to Scotty Portelli and Whales in the Wild for an unforgettable experience : Whales in the Wild : www.whalesinthe...

It's our 3rd year back to the Kingdom of Tonga! Tonga an extra special place for our family and we're so happy to be back where our travels really began.
This year we had some really special experiences with the whales. And, we brought some new friends - Derek Hough, Brooks Laich, and Chloe Egbert. It is so special watching someone see and experience humpback whales in the water for their first time.
The most exciting moment was when each of the kids joined us for a day on the boat. They were so brave and excited to see the whales. The moments when we were all in the water together as a family (Cali was on the boat) with the whales was one of the most special moments we've ever shared.
This is our last video as a full-time traveling family. We'll still continue to do a weekly video even once we return HOME (sounds weird!) to Hawaii.
Happy travels everyone! Sincerely,
The Bucket List Family

Crying. The way you've raised your kids is beyond words.

[@ThomasAntoniusOlsenJr.333]

I would imagine the majority of us would if we had the money to travel the world for 3yrs!

[@taunyaslittletribe2968]

I was literally about to comment the same thing. It’s how I’ve always envisioned I would raise my daughters. They are still young. I know I still got a shot.

[@bumblebee0369]

Taunya's Little Tribe .....do it! Do it and don’t look back. Remember life has good and bad moments. But you gotta be strong and keep going. Cuz at the end of that rainbow...WILL be your treasure Good luck 🍀

[@danni3094]

sad they're too young to remember. The oldest might remember some things

[@caamz23]

Danni I want to raise my future kids like they

[@bf6122]

Garrett: “U wanna keep snoozing or come with us?” Dorothy: ”I wanna come with u” Best decision that little girl has ever made

[@easytoslip]

rhetorical question tho, he would not have let her choose sleep

[@mollybeth2505]

That picture of Garrett and Dorthy with the whales really moved me. And Oceans playing in the background just made me lose it😂 Love you guys, I’m glad y’all are able to go explore Gods creation in amazing ways and get to show your children that too! So inspirational and amazing!

[@tinapie178]

Ocean playing in the background melts my heart😭😇😍

[@lwknicely]

I agree with you. It moved me watching Dorothy and Garrett with the whales and the love for each other.

[@erinm8726]

It’s like the whales knew it was your last day with them so they gave you a grand finale! So cool!

[@aliceinchain7889]

This family teaches me how to raise my own family in the future ❤

[@Moretolovevlogs]

This made me cry. The amount of trust Dorthy has in you to take her swimming with whales and as soon as she let go and chases the whales on her own. So amazing!! Great job Dorthy!!!

[@Rayley64]

Just sitting here crying. Absolutely incredible. These videos are the absolute highlight of my Sunday’s! You may think that your kids may not remember these times, but I can guarantee that memories as special as these will stay with them forever - even better that they have these incredible videos to relive those memories too! I can’t wait to watch the next chapter of your family adventure unfold, and for you guys to see your beautiful home. It’s nothing but up from here! All my love to you and your family - you guys are all that’s good in the world! 🌍💕

[@TheBucketListFamily]

Thanks so much for the kindness! 😘

[@NEWDAWNNEWDAY58]

Rachel Leyshon our souls' memories never can't be forget anything

[@MorganSylvestre]

This was absolutely what I was thinking

[@lilleeburke4322]

Rachel Leyshon I did the same. I will miss these moments

[@dawnfkahamilton-doerfler6982]

I bet your daughter Dorothy will grow up to be an environmentalist and do amazing things for animals.

[@Jsalcedo23]

Dawn FKA hamilton-doerfler nah she isn’t gonna remember most of this stuff and the boy definitely won’t remember a thing

[@waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles17]

Dawn FKA hamilton-doerfler I can definitely see that happening

[@phoenixtian]

that is why they have these videos

[@phoenixtian]

dancing environmentalist*

[@lianevoelker3151]

Jsalcedo23 Interests and values are made and internalized in such ja young age. This time made them strong as a family and yes you as well can have memories from that age. My very first memory is when I was only 1 year old.

[@An-pv7oq]

I have tears in my eyes, watching Dorothy in the water with the wales. The confidence and joy that is radiating off of her, is so beautiful to see. Dorothy is brave like a Dolphin, I teach my daughter to be brave like Dorothy. Thank you for sharing your inspiring way of life with the world. I am in awe.

[@vivianaurzua9696]

“I got you safe” makes my heart melt

[@AlbertEinstein2611]

I just want to thank you for your video (I’m from Switzerland so my English isn’t very good) I’m 16 years old and I’m sick since 2 months. Because of that I have to stay in bed. It’s very hard and especially because now I’m on holidays and I can’t travel or just go outside with my friends. So thank you so much to make me travel with you with all your videos.

[@waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles17]

[@teegeemonster]

I legit just seen my first video of them today 🤷 I had to follow

[@aubrytrude]

I was tearing up and got chills seeing Dorothy swim with the whales and the moments leading up to how you guys got that picture! Absolutely incredible and a special moment I'm sure Dorothy will always cherish! Loved it!!! 💛

[@sadiasyed3916]

I lost my dad 3 years back and I m still a teen but seeing you with Dorothy is like seeing my childhood with my dad the way she swims wit you melts my heart out and tears at the edge of my eyes . Thank God there is you Thank God I see my dad back again in memories only because of you and Dorothy Just Love You Guys from the every part of my heart

[@natashapendergrass8687]

I’m so sorry I lost my dad in 2014 and it still feels like yesterday! I’m so glad there’s some great dads in the world. She is so blessed and so are we. 🫶🏻❤️

[@angeloddrev]

I remember Steve Irwin showing a young Bindi to a dolphin Momma and her baby, and saying we are showing each other our babies :) This reminded me of this! That Momma whale was so happy to show you her baby, and I bet she was all beside herself to see your baby too! They are so intelligent! Beautiful!

[@ThatRogersFamily]

That moment when Dorothy comes up from touching the bottom and everyone is cheering! So inspirational!! That girl can do anything.

[@ElementaryExplorers]

Over the last two years I have watched every single one of your videos. You have inspired our kids to swim deeper and take risks, our family to become full time travelers, and our lives to be fuller. We don’t know you personally - but you have made a huge impact on our lives. We now share our adventures on KZbin as well, hoping to take other families along on our journey as we have been able to come along on yours. Thank you endlessly for documenting your travels for all us. 😀❤️💦🐠🐬☀️ 🌎

[@maya-gh7tk]

Dorothy you are such a brave young woman and I hope you do great things in your life

[@madisonboening]

This is beautiful. This is what I wish all life was like. Thank you for sharing and showing the bright side.

[@darlahardy3386]

WHAT AN AWESOME childhood you two are giving your children. The things you are doing with them will be passed down for many generations to come. When they are all gathered together one will remember something another may have forgotten and they will all remember all over again. This is so wonderful !!!!

THANK YOU for sharing your adventure and showing me that everything is possible. Jess: You are an Amazing mom, You plan plane tickets, hotel reservations, and still get your kids in bed before its to late, you are the type of mom i want to be one day. Garrett: you are by far the closest thing to a Super-Dad i've ever seen in my entire life, you are so Respectful to your wife and kids and i admire you, you are so patient with your kids even when manilla can be running around half naked or Dorothy can be singing Moana to the top of her lungs. Manilla: You are one of a kind, never forget that. i wish you all the Toy Cars in the world. i hope your favorite country is still the airport although you may not see it as much anymore. be yourself because everyone else is taken. Dorothy: you are the bravest little girl i've ever meet (you got it from your mommy). you have the sweetest heart. you are so nice to others even when they aren't the nicest to you. an always remember that you are a Princess! Cali: you are younger than me and i am jealous because you have been around the world before the age of 1! you have the coolest family of the entire universe! i haven't seen you grow yet but i already know you're as brave as Dorothy and as Silly as Manilla! Love you all Lots and hope God gives you health and love to explore more awesome places!❤️💞🤱🏼👨‍👧‍👦

[@ForbiddenKitten]

she is an amazing mom but WOW what an INCREDIBLE dad he is!!!! the way he speaks and views life.. how he talked about gaining his kids trust and how a home is just a thing, its all about the memories and experiences.. he is such a deep intellectually emotional understanding well rounded person..

[@thediamondsun728]

Just cried throughout the whole video! Thank you so much for bringing us along! I have utterly no words to describe the feelings. ❤️❤️

[@ab-op5bg]

The whales.. call it whatever you want but this was a sign. A thank you. Thank you for the care for nature, the care for other people, other countries and other cultures. THANK YOU❤💙💚 (for everything).

[@sunshinerose2603]

The first 20 seconds of the video and I'm already sobbing - thank you for these last few years of inspiration and wonder (on behalf of Dorothy, Manilla, and Cali)

[@FamilyTravelVlog]

Probably my favourite video ever!

[@Alexandra-pe7hg]

I found your channel because I had watched videos about Humpback whales, and the video when you were in Tonga 3 years ago came into my recommendations. Since then, your videos have always put a smile on my face and inspired me so much! Thank you!! I've now decided that nothing is going to stop me from making the things on my bucket list come true. You are amazing and I wish you all the best! 💙🌍🐋

[@lwknicely]

Garrett you have a big heart and I can fill your love for your kids,wife and for life that it brings me to tears seeing how much love you have. . Thank you for sharing your family and adventures

[@carolinecunha5015]

Guys, I'm Brazilian and I'm from here watching the videos of you and admiring this beautiful family ... I met the channel a few days ago and I've seen many videos, but today I came across this one, who in a supernatural way, moved with my whole being. .. it is amazing to see God's care in every detail of creation ... in the ocean ... in your family. Thank you for sharing and inspiring that Jesus continue to take this family to wonderful places. 💙🌊

[@AratisLife]

This video is the best thing I saw, experienced today. I loved it. Garatte your editing is amazing. I could feel your emotions feelings, experiences thorough this video. Wow. Can you please tell from where you get music for your videos?

[@Pooooooopppppp]

Arati's Life yeah it's his editing skills that's sets vid apart

[@halaahmed153]

😩

[@ashleigh4612]

Music is by hillsong United called oceans I think if not I know they have a song just like that...they are a beautiful band!

[@WhatsInside]

Amazing.

[@janelacson4774]

You guys are living your life to the fullest. It is so beautiful. ❤️💕

[@callieowen5631]

It truely is amazing!!!

[@abbydooley7486]

What's inside I watch your vids

[@berber_t]

Absolutely beautiful. I cried while watching this. Can’t believe these animals are living on this planet. Incredible creatures. 🌍

[@Felilaa]

I’m not sure what made me tear up more...the whales, the kids or a parent’s love. Incredible!

[@haleysouthwick3495]

My favorite part would have to be the moment after Cali saw the shark. Initially I'm sure there was some surprise, shock and maybe even fear. He looked to his dad for confirmation and like you said was able to COMPLETELY trust that everything would be okay. He was able to trust his daddy and go right back to snorkeling. Such a beautiful moment!

[@KnotVikings]

AMAZING! To swim with whales in Tonga (or anywhere really) is on top of our bucket list as well. What a magical moment. I got goose bumps when I saw that whale breaching 💙 Thank you for a great and beautiful episode. All the best of luck on your new adventures! Cheers from a long distance cruising family hoping to visit Tonga one day

[@leonescher6876]

I am very happy that you shared your story as a full-time traveling family. I really enjoyed watching your videos and new experiences you made every sunday 😍 I wish you a lovely and blessed start in your new home and the new chapter of your lives. All the best from Germany! 😊

[@TheBucketListFamily]

we want to say thank you to YOU!

[@feuerwehrfrausternenstaub8711]

I also have tears in my eyes. Just seeing Dorothy with the whales in the ocean. It's so incredible amazing. I love you guys. Thank you very much for all your Videos. Love all your Videos and the Background Music....!!! Watching and enjoying all your Videos. Sending many many prayers, a big hug and many greetings from 🇩🇪 Germany to you 🙋🐢🐳🦑🐬🐠🐙♥️😘

[@Nat62212]

Gee's- Your family embodies unconditional love, unending adventures, and such bold bravery! I have loved watching you guys travel and fall in love with each country. I aspire to be more and more like each of you as I continue to grow and one day will have a family of my own. I hope you guys will always know how loved you are by so many around the world, including me! Here's to a new chapter of your life. So excited to see what's next!

[@TheWorldnUs]

I would have been one of those people who recognised Manila and not the other guy. I’ve forgotten his name already lol.

[@johannakline2899]

The World n Us I know who is but I would have recognized Manila first! ☺️

[@TheWorldnUs]

Johanna Kline, I don't watch a lot of regular t.v. We're pretty much all KZbin and Netflix. But I don't even think his show is televised in Australia? I might be wrong though.

[@glisteningcloset]

Derek Hough 🔥 I would have probably recognized both and then freak out 😂

[@waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles17]

[@milavincic2775]

Your family adventures are inspirational. What a beautiful family experiencing such beautiful things. Can't wait for you to see you home.

[@barbaracilley8200]

The most amazing thing is that you’re bringing us with you. Just watching and listening brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes my day so much better. My heart gets happy. Music choices are beautiful.

[@aprilinjune4]

This is by far my favorite post from you. Thank you so much for sharing your family, adventures, and love for the world. It inspires me and many others to do so much more.

[@박사사-w8u]

I'm so sad and happy at the same time. I'm sad because even though I was just introduced to your channel, I already loved your family! And I'll surely miss your family adventures and I'm sure more will come! I am happy because you're happy and you have found a new home! I'm looking forward to more adventures soon! Thank you for your incredible vlogs, like me and my sister strongly agree that you have the best videos!! Love you guys! 💕

[@KaylaJane011]

I love the choice of song near the end of the video! Oceans by Hillsong

[@jadaecia]

This is the most incredible experience and something I dream of every single day!!! I can’t wait to experience something as magical as swimming with whales, or just seeing whales would be beyond words. This video put tears in my eyes and warmth in my heart. You are such an incredible family and I wish you all the best for your next adventure

[@tarinflyte3326]

When mom dad and Dorothy all held hands while swimming with the momma and baby whale....priceless precious most amazing experience. So many emotions!

[@egykim4902]

I was brought to tears several times throughout this video. I found myself taking deep breaths and just holding on to my heart. So, thankful to see just some of the images you did. Thank you for taking the time to capture and edit videos like these for us. ~exhale~~~

[@spozaldeluxe]

The best comes last -this video is just so emotional! You are amazing parents, what you offered your kids over the last 3 years - priceless also if it came with a price for them, like you said before! All of your kids, but especially in this video - Manila and Dorothey -are Rockstars!!! Beautiful editing again Garatte! I wish you all the best and a great start in your HOME in Hawaii and can´t wait to see your faces next week :-D

[@taylorplaskowitz5763]

Loved the video. Loved the part when Dorothy and Manilla got to see the whales 🐳. So said this is your at video as a traveling family. I love watching all your adventures. I can't wait fir you see your house for the fist time, I know you are going to love it, the kids are going to love it as well.

[@Samii_x]

Although it makes me sad that this is the last vlog you make as a full time travelin family, I hope to see a few more in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your journey these past three years. It’s made me feel like I’m part of the trip. It was especially fun watching the kids grow right infront of our eyes 😭❣️ every time they reached a new milestone it made me so proud! So I can imagine how it would make you feel! Again thank you for everything and I wish you the best in your new journey at your new house and your new lives in Hawaii! 💕

Peace, love and best wishes, always.

[@TheBucketListFamily]

Joy Lopez thanks!! 😍😘💛

[@bla4212000]

Dear the bucketlist family! I havent been watching your videos long that long but fell in love with them quickly! You guys have shown me so much in these video! I loved watching the animals and the kids learning to be comfortable with water and watching as they grow, watching you guys grow as a family, and all the places you went. As a military child about to go out on her own, you guys showed me how its possible to travel and how to find the best places to go. I have lived in naples italy for about 3 years and soon to go back to the states and start my journey! Dorothy: you are a brave little girl, keep it up! You will go far! Keep smileing and take care of your siblings! Manilla: you are the silliest kid i have ever seen! Stay silly and weird! Cali: you have traveled so far before i can. When you are older keep traveling! And look back at all the videos to see what you have done. Thank you bucket list family for everything, cant wait for you guys to go home and see your new house! Enjoy the journey home. That will always be there and be your forever home. I one day hope for that. For now on to travels for me! Thank you for the journey across the world! Love you guys!

[@ellabelleza1841]

I almost cried while watching your videos! Your children are blessed to have you as their parents. Godbless your family! ❤️

[@hockeygirl1102]

So many incredible moments in this video. The ones that got me though, are the moments when Manila is just oh so subtly encouraging Cali! You’ve raised such strong, encouraging, brave kids!

[@robinweiss4651]

Garrett and Jessica, you are creating the most amazing little people right there. They will never be afraid of anything! You are gorgeous people in every sense of the word. I cant wait to watch more of your beautiful family and the experiences you are sharing as a family. I only found you about 2 months ago, so I am thrilled that there is plenty to catch up on. And I just have to say it...these children are absolutely beautiful!

[@theoneandonlyelisa]

So I'm home alone, which means I can enjoy this on my smart tv. Going to enjoy the next 30min!

[@micki.j]

This makes me so emotion too! Can’t believe how far your family have come by! It’s a wonderful experience for your kids! That me there! Omg!

[@dianewomble527]

Wow, three years of traveling. I think you guys will enjoy a stint at your new home. The home project has been fun to watch it come together. I enjoy watching your experiences, it's a message front and center that anything is possible.

i really admire their courage. the kids could panic and they dont really know whats drowning etc and also, the fact they have a baby there too, with them in the different countries they visit. so cool! with all the insects and weird things that could happen, they're so fearless! also dorothy is so beautiful, she looks like she loves the ocean too just like you 2

I’m crying this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and can I just say what a wonderful family you have. Thank you for bringing up your children to be such amazing humans. We need more people like them in the world.x

That is so awesome!! I love the humpbacks! They're so beautiful. When the momma is on the bottom she's actually "sleeping".

I'm pretty much at a loss for words with each and every video you post, but this one brought me to tears multiple times. The way your family loves each other is truly moving. These moments you share together are breathtaking. I've been travelling (usually solo) for the past few years on and off, and I am SO INSPIRED by you guys to keep it up. It's been my dream to visit Tonga to swim with whales for as long as I can remember, and each time you upload a video from there my desire to have this experience grows so much stronger. I pretty much cried for 32 minutes straight in this one, as I just can not comprehend what it would be like to be in the VERY close presence of such magnificent, gentle creatures! I can't wait to make it happen once it's safe to travel again. I recently started at the very beginning of your uploads with vlog #1, and am making my way through the many years of family travel - watching at least 3-4 episodes a day on average. Thank you for all that you do for the world, and all of the inspiration and joy you bring to my life as I watch you do what you love! xo

Oh my goodness I had chills and goosies up and down my arms from watching this amazing video. To see your two sweet children out there in the ocean with the Whale and calf so close was absolutely incredible. Your children will NEVER forget these experiences. I am 50 yrs old and I have never experienced that and I probably never will because I’m not a strong swimmer and I have a fear of deep water. Thank you so much for sharing your Journey. ❤️

I’m in tears..(happy) tears. Watching all of you swimming with the whales 🐋. Their incredibly beautiful creatures. I saw something that both dad & the whale had in common........their young. Both of you had your child attached, both were letting their young experience the waters and both were so curious of each other. And most breathtaking both trusted one another. Just unbelievable. This was the most heartfelt moment for me oh my gosh it was so beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing these precious moments. This was so incredibly breathtaking. I wish that one day I can free swim with these beautiful mammals. Wow. This brought on an emotional moment for me. I can’t say enough. Thank you. You are a beautiful family. Bless all of you.

Manilla going "I wanna keep swimmimg" every time they are about to get back on the boat is such a mood😂

[@mariahgriffin5263]

my heart smiles a little more and more every time the kids get on Garret’s back and he says “i got you safe”💗

[@taunyaslittletribe2968]

Literally balling my eyes out this entire episode. If everyone could experience an ounce of this incredible world and life we have been given like your family has these past three years. It would be a better place. It’s so simple.
