Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia.

[@flyingthenest]

Hey everyone :) hope you enjoyed this episode - would love to know if 1) you would do this? and 2) if you could pick to sleep upstairs or downstairs which would you pick?

[@LevzBuldz]

Uhh both ngl

[@V.ChanelVlogs]

I would definitely do this and I’d sleep downstairs at least once!

[@laurenislay4449]

Downstairs is so cool! But I think I would pick upstairs because the sunsets are amazing!!!

[@mr.chimoki3586]

I want go to there Down

[@heatherr3697]

Loved this episode so glad Jess and hunter was included too and hunter with the walking glass was so funny ,, and I would love to do this being from Scotland it's always cold lol 🤣 but yes the downstairs room for me I think

[@MariaFrancaSerrau]

Hunter trying to avoid the glass floor was just too adorable!!! ❤❤

[@pouinichan]

I love the fact you prove everyone who say "I can't travel because I have kids " that they are wrong. You guys are achieving your dreams with all the family. Everything is possible. It's just a question of willpower.

[@MadDogAdventures]

My parents took me all over the world as a kid

[@JeanGenie92]

I agree but it also depends on the kids, Hunters got an amazing temperate for travelling.

[@zzky666]

and the amount of money it takes to bring the kids

[@Someone-yv2kw]

Yes! My parents traveled together to New York while my grandparents watched us. I was little and I had a count down on a paper!😂

[@mamabear3oh375]

i'm gonna start off by saying i can't put into words how amazing this video was. the underwater suite, being able to sleep with the fishies. what an amazing experience you had :) that beautiful sunrise! everything was so incredible to watch, from the scuba diving, to the cute mini golfing and movie night Hunter and Jess had. loved every minute.

[@SarahandMarek]

"This is a once in a lifetime thing I'm keeping the blinds open, they can deal with what they see" 🤣

[@vickydeacon269]

Haha

[@NesKimStyle]

That was the most beautiful experience to watch. I also love how beautiful the two of you are together and little Hunter. What a special family. It doesn’t hurt either to have a little time apart to miss one another a bit, Thanks for sharing Jess and Steven.

[@tonystubbin5609]

Sonia and I loved watching this video as we stayed at Reef Sleep on the night after Stephen stayed in the Reef Suite. We were lucky enough to meet Jess and Hunter at Port Airlie while waiting to board the ferry out to Reefworld and then we met Stephen on the pontoon. We have been watching Flying the Nest since 2016 so it was a real treat to run into you guys by chance. It was also great to see that you were all so nice in real life, just like in your videos! Thanks for the entertainment.

[@manasadl7063]

Omg watching hunter on the glass was the highlight of my day....it was sooo cutee and adorable...❤

[@SarahandMarek]

Hunters face when she saw Steve again was so adorable 😍

[@Addie_MyLove]

I teared up!

[@daeerackzs]

@@Addie_MyLove cap

[@ladynoluck]

The hesitation she had with the glass floor just shows she’s developed good depth perception and peripheral vision! Edit to add: younger walkers will also often swap back to crawling in uncertain walking situations (they have more stability and confidence with crawling!)

[@barbarapatterson5487]

Oh my goodness, that was just so incredible. It was lovely that Jess and Hunter got to experience a little bit of it. As a Brit I think it would be a difficult choice between upstairs and downstairs...the whole thing was amazing 🥰

[@JulzM1962]

WOW! I have been wanting to do this ever since they opened up and would definitely prefer the Reef Suite, however would not be put off if the Reef Sleep was the only option available. How adorable was little Hunter not wanting to "walk on water", way too cute :-)

[@norinmerchant4129]

I've been watching you guys for over 2 years now and I absolutely love how down-to-earth and grateful you guys are with every experience! lots of love from the U.S. :)

[@mrscb5303]

How cool is it to think about when little Hunter will be old enough to come back here with her parents. Watching her on the glass floor just made me smile. Love this family!!! So happy to have just discovered them this year. 💚

[@SarahandMarek]

What a dreamy place to stay! I've never heard of this before 😍

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

Wow! You really knocked this one out of the ball park. Absolutely spectacular with the very best of nature, and scenery. Fantastic that Jess and Hunter had their own spot of filming and then joined dad for a great day in paradise. I don’t know whether I would love the suite or the tent best and I think one night of each is perfect but I couldn’t help thinking when you were in your suite that you were missing the scenery topside, but when I saw the reef as you turned out the lights, it was magical so you missed nothing. Brilliant vlog! First class!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 Venessa, how are you doing?

[@doubleatwinnies1429]

The view during sunrise, honestly brought me to tears. So beautiful. I am duel citizen of Australia and the USA. I was born in the US and live here. I miss Australia so much. Beautiful video.

[@SarahandMarek]

Hunter chasing after the golf ball 😂😍

[@dorothysingh6063]

I am from perth It’s such a pleasure to watch you’ll, I have been watching for almost five years now. As for little HUNTER she is the luckiest baby on the planet, not only because she goes to these beautiful places, but more so she has such sweet loving parents. WISH YOULL NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS ALWAYS💕💕💕

[@analuizakerr1069]

Gosh I miss travelling so much. The beautiful sceneries made me very emotional.

[@fiore2151]

Seeing Hunter being super brave to overcome her anxiety of the glass floor is the most adorable sight eveer! She is such a courageous sweetheart and I love the way you encourage her 🧡

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww what a beautiful family vlog I really enjoy watching all your travel videos and and vlogs because you guys are amazing together as a beautiful family I also enjoy watching all of your experiences together as a beautiful family ❤️❤️

[@janedavidson8348]

Wow what an amazing experience thanks for sharing. Having a night upstairs in the tent and a night downstairs underwater in the suite just perfect. Hunter is a wee gem she’s adorable ☺️

[@charlottewatt7801]

I love how happy Steve is and hunter is so cute.

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks Charlotte!

[@eden9578]

This was so dang cool. Bundaberg ginger beer is AMAZING! The Great Barrier Reef is such a cool place!

[@daveymaggee9863]

Wow. Absolutely amazing. Definitely a must-do. Thank you.

[@FireCracker3240]

This is absolutely magical. I can't get over how amazing that suite was. I really liked the tents, but nothing beats the underwater room. It's absolutely mind blowing to think you are _under the ocean_ watching fish and turtle swim by. Getting to shower underwater, watch the colors change from turquoise to a deep blue purple as night set upon you was beyond incredible. Thank you for sharing this one-of-a-kind experience with us. ❤️

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

How precious is Hunter feeding Jess popcorn? 😍😍😍

[@flyingthenest]

hehe she's the best 😍

[@vickic.7756]

We did the Reef Sleep in February 2020 before the pandemic hit. We slept upstairs. It was truly one of the most special events that we have ever experienced in our travels. Steve, you did an awesome job of catching the essence of the experience! I felt like I was right back there with you.

[@lesliecalvert3458]

This hotel looks amazing..I would love to sit and stare into that blue abyss and watch the world melt away forever

[@momo2219]

Beautiful on deck but in the suite at night I'd be thinking about The Meg 🙈

[@jasminekaur2755]

THIS.IS.THE.BEST.VaLOG OF 2021. Honestly Stephen, how do you do it? Such amazing editing and I love the commentary as well. And of course Hunter, SUPER adorable and Jess, sooo pretty. idk why, but i started crying when you showed the sunset and sunrise. I was just in awe. And to answer the question, definitely BOTTOM room. Thank you Jess, Stephen and Hunter for making smile :)

[@ActressNikiHart]

This place is amazing! I would love to stay there! This may be one of the few places in the world I would be okay sleeping in a tent. But I’d have to choose the suite, because how often does one get to sleep underwater?!

[@flyingthenest]

So true!

[@aliceblue8363]

What a trip down memory lane - pre pandemic I was working on Hayman Island and i did a helicopter trip over heart reef and we landed by the Reef Sleeper and spent the day there snorkling. Would have loved to have spent the night there but had to return to England. I love living vicariously through you guys whilst i can't travel. Thanks for all the smiles and memories your channel gives me!

[@BrotholomewBro]

6:08 the name of the song is "The return to why", by Morgan Weidinger

[@kewlkat8208]

Ok. That is definitely a bucket list thing. That place is amazing.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?

[@txgal2986]

That is amazing!!! I’m so sorry Jess and Hunter couldn’t stay the night, but I understand. Both places to stay the night would be awesome and I think I’d do both, but I think staying on deck would be the best. Sleeping in the tent, with the rain falling down, watching the sunset and sunrise, would just be top notch. I’m so glad you did this, Stephen, to show us all what it was like. Thank you! Looks like Jess and Hunter had their own kid version fun! 😎

[@detroiter4194]

You guys live a life most people can only dream about. Good for you for following your dreams. Memories that will last a lifetime.

Finally after so many days flying beast is back with daily vlogging but his love for his audience can't stop him keep uploading such a exciting vlogs keep it up sir stay safe ❤🔥🔥

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe so sorry it took so long! This vlog was SUCH a massive edit to do!

[@lisag5670]

You guys find the most amazing places. Too bad Jess & Hunter couldn’t stay. I was laughing so much when Hunter was afraid of the glass floor, she’s so adorable. Thanks for sharing your adventures and I can’t wait for the next one 🙏👏🥰

[@cynthiablagg4507]

You guys should be so proud..you are a lovely family showing how beautiful life is thru superior videos. Keep it up!

[@sray5415]

The underwater room was my favorite and honestly, I would have had a camera rolling from sun set to sunrise so I could have that playing on a loop every night via a movie projector.

[@carolmichael1813]

Wow , how fabulous . What an experience. So wonderful to see, thanks. Have a great day. See you soon 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@zirie3332]

WOW, what a uniqe place. I wouldn't mind the tents at all... that would be a "once ina life time" stay. Especially since there is an underwater room for the other guests as well.

[@flyingthenest]

Definitely!!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hi 👋 zirie, how are you doing?

Oh my god hunter walking on the glass in the room was the cutest thing ever x

Amazing Video as always!! Hunter ‘s reaction to the glass floor is too cute.

[@em......]

I would sleep upstairs. That room downstairs is super beautiful but I would have to shut the blinds at night. It would give me the creeps. And that defeats the purpose haha. Wonderful vlog.

[@flyingthenest]

Ahh very true :) I slept with the blinds open and you know how your body goes in and out of sleep - at 1 am I woke up and was fully awake as you could just see the fish! Was kinda cool as I could enjoy it more then went back to sleep!

[@em......]

@@flyingthenest you're a braver man than me Stephen haha (funny as I'm a girl) . I'm glad you enjoyed yourself though (oh Hunter on the glass floor was hilarious!!! I would be doing the same as her though haha)

I think I would choose downstairs. I look so forward to your videos such a sweet family. I love watching Hunter grow. She is so lucky to have you both as parents she will surly see the world!!!

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you so much!

[@francescadiana]

I had no idea they did the reef sleep! Is that new? I was a day guest before c0vid and that day was just too busy, would have loved this experience instead! So special 😊

[@pamreynolds6812]

What an amazing experience . Definitely downstairs . You guys are just precious . Your videos make me smile wide

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Wow so cool... I would definitely want to stay underwater.. Not sure I would sleep much because I'd want to just watch all the fish outside the window! Sunrises and sunsets at sea are beautiful.. That was the one thing I loved when on research vessels.. A few mins of calm each day.. If there were no storms. Thanks for sharing 👌.

[@Shonkat]

Reef suite all the way!!, This is such a unique accommodation!

[@Addie_MyLove]

29:06 Jesse is soooooooo beautiful!! Omg!! Like, not just physically, she literally radiates beauty.
