WORLD's Most REMOTE ISLAND - Visiting Tristan Da Cunha!

[@JoshCahill]

Would you visit Tristan da Cunha? Share and like the video for a chance to win Conrad's Book the "The Rockhopper Copper". Thanks!

[@budapestflyer99]

If I had the time I'd love to travel to Tristan... I did a bit of research though and it's really really difficult to find a ship going there at all.

[@sumeyyekazdal6985]

I would love to live there.I live in İstanbul very crowded place.❤

[@vonhiltz]

What an amazing trip, do you say it was 14 days by boat to Cape Town. You really went all in for this video. Fantastic work Josh.

[@Oi_there_mate]

Did you just spend the day on the island and then go back to the ship for your sleeping 🛌 accommodation? I also wondered what the arrangements would be for travelers who couldn’t make it back to the ship because weather prevented it for the day. As always, you did an incredible job with your video. They just keep getting better.😊 🚢 🌊

[@haiderrasheed9037]

Will you go to St. Helena ?

[@sitenerds]

What a difference from the "normal life" most of us live around the world. I love how simple and refreshing this is!

[@duvojagantoj]

My father’s biggest dream is to go to Tristan da Cunha. He has been working for over 40 years and plans to retire next year. He wants to go there once he retires. I’ve already started to saving money. I hope I can surprise him and take him to this beautiful island. If we can fulfill this dream, I will also share our journey on KZbin. 😊 Thank you for the great video 💐

Will definitely wait for this to happen! Have a blessed day!

This is just what KZbin travel videos should be about. Not the increasingly dull and predictable airport lounge/business class seat/food menu/bedding offerings that some very lazy bloggers on here still think are entertaining or informative. Well done!

[@bcnmanhattan50]

Personally I appreciate the airlines reports. I never understand though why they film many minutes of the take off and landings and even the scenery when leaving or approaching. I need the info so I can decide my airline and class, that if affordable, of course.

[@DanS-dc5vu]

Yeah because in reality flying commercially is a hellish experience for the average flyer

I had no idea about Tristan Da Cunha, it looks like an amazing place. I'll probably never be able to visit in my whole life, so thank you for showing us around!!!

[@terencesaunders1357]

When they were evacuated in 1961 they were sent to calshot in Hampshire. They were put up in old RAF houses. There is still a road called Tristan close.

[@helenahandebasquet]

They were evacuated to Calshot near me, I went to school with some of the children of Tristan da Cunha before they returned to the Island. Fascinating to see the Island we all heard about.

Thank you for visiting this island. I have long been fascinated by this unique place. Once again you have proven why you are one of the best KZbinr's out there. Thanks again for allowing me to see an unfiltered glimpse of somewhere I will never get to visit

[@gehrigbjr]

This was completely striking. I saw a video about this place on TikTok and did a bunch of research and now came across this! Brilliant. I absolutely love the discussion with the sole police officer & what he said about what he thinks will help sustain the islands survival - “For youngsters to be given the opportunity to go abroad.” I will never get over this. Wish you had been able to speak to more of the locals😀 Gorgeous video and I cannot wait for more. So glad I’ve found your channel. Thank you!

[@budapestflyer99]

Incredible! Probably one of your best videos ever - Thanks!

[@DataPilot370]

I’m amazed that they have heavy machinery and cars on the island. Bringing them into that shallow harbor must have been a challenge.

[@patrickmccutcheon9361]

Thank of maintaining them. Parts also need to be shipped in.

[@emmdee7552]

This was an amazing video and being a South African living in Brisbane, it really made me happy to see all the South African brands behind you in the Supermarket, (Ms Balls Chutney, Koo, and Ricoffee), not to mention the choice between Castle and Lion Lager at the bar. I would really love to have the opportunity to visit there. And wow insane 14 days on the boat, crazy

[@mrbillhilly343]

Josh needs to come back to Australia, he is losing his Aussie accent. But, his meet-up with Rowan must've got his Aussie phrases back. But, living in Australia might cook his budget, as we know how expensive it is to fly anywhere. For what we pay SYD-LAX economy return, Josh would spend 1/4 of that on a business class flight from Frankfurt to Istanbul or Singapore to Abu Dhabi. One-way Qantas MEL/SYD/BRIS to Singapore would cost him money he could spend on that lobster he mentioned in this video. Actually, SYD-PERTH one-way costs more than SYD-Auckland return with flights & 3 nights accommodation.

[@gilesjones1230]

Oh my goodness, I used to fly passed it on the old Malaysian airlines flight from Cape Town to Buenos Aires on their 747-400 regularly and always been intrigued by it. This video is such an insightful video

[@philipf2705]

That was one of the coolest travel vlogger videos i've ever seen. One of the things i like about Josh is his passion to go places others won't, you truly have an adventurous spirit!

I have had the pleasure of visiting Tristan Da Cunha, i was working on a ship that stopped, however the sea sea was rough and guest were not able to go ashore, however as i was the Chef, we were able to send one zodiac ashore to get some local potatoes and fresh lobster, it was an experience that I will never forget.

This is a very exciting video. I like how everyone on Tristan live together in peace and harmony. You now made me want to visit this island Josh.

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Mind boggling that the island has not installed a couple of wind turbines. In the middle of the Atlantic a single wind turbine would power all of those homes, and second turbine could act as a backup for when the other needs maintenance.

[@BruceM8]

Josh, I enjoyed this video so much. I could sense your excitement and gratitude for being able to make the trip and get to know the island. I was privileged and thrilled just a few years ago to visit as well, and I found it just as fascinating as you did. I appreciate your helpful background information on the island and its people, and the conversations, as I learned some new things. Safe travels, and I'll look forward to following along as you explore more places.

Tristan Da Cunha videos always fascinates me. I would love to go there once. Love from Saharanpur, India.

[@marchtrunk]

Such a remote place! Incredible that people are able to live there. Videos about such places are really fascinating!

[@flaneurnz]

Josh thanks for this trip report to Tristan Da Cunha. 😊 You should also visit the Pitcairn Islands in the middle of the south pacific. Like Tristan it's also another British Overseas Territory. So remote as well. Also visit the Chatham Islands of New Zealand located east of the south island of NZ in the south pacific. An airline called Air Chathams flies from Auckland to the Chathams Islands direct. I recommend you making a trip report/vlog about Air Chathams, their cabin, and the friendly cabin crew. I'm telling you it's going to be a memorable and an unusual flight experience that you will never forget. ❤😊 Greetings from Auckland, New Zealand.

[@sweethomealamanda]

I've read and watched videos about this place many times. Thanks for showing us more! ❤

[@philstanton231]

I really enjoyed that Josh. I knew a South African couple, the male worked on Tristan for a while, and they had a son born there. His "citizenship" was a much-debated issue between the Governments of South African and the UK, and the family. This gave me a little knowledge of Tristan. You have now given me a whole lot more. Cheers. PS. I would love to go there.

[@felixguett]

That was a great and really different video! For the travel-crowd it would have been interesting to hear and see a bit more about the actual trip itself, considering you apparently spent 4 weeks on the Hondius? Did you spend the night on Tristan? Or just morning to evening?

[@brendaflo4033]

I've never heard of this place until I just came across it! I was this days old. Lol This looks like a perfect life! ❤ I can understand them not wanting to open it to outsiders to live there! Nobody want's to deal with possible riffraff coming in!

[@keithkahn-harris6503]

Regarding the islanders not engaging too much with visitors. I read somewhere that the isolation of the island is such that inhabitants have limited immunities to infections. Plus the islanders have higher than average rates of asthma. So it's sensible for them to avoid visitors.
