Sailing around the world takes you to some pretty incredible places...we get to witness some of the planet's most spectacular natural beauty, explore corners of the earth that few people are lucky enough to set foot on, hike up mountains, dive down in the ocean, and enjoy a sense of freedom that isn't found in a lot of lifestyles. But probably the most rewarding part of it all is the human connections we make, and the different cultures we get to share this one of a kind planet with. And in today's episode, we take this to a whole other level. We find ourselves in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia, some of the most geographically isolated islands on Earth, lying more than 3,000 miles away from the nearest continental landmass. This isolation has allowed these islands to develop in a truly special way, and the culture here is one of the most unique we've ever encountered. We were lucky enough to land in this paradise during the Matavaa Festival, which only happens once every 4 years...and it was an experience we will never forget. Join us in this week's episode as we dive into the fascinating history of these mysterious islands, and discover a way of life that was nearly lost.

Phew. I loved this video more than many others. Every video you surpass yourself. Without highlighting much more than other videos that you have shown the majestic beauty of natural places, it seems brutal to me. I have been amazed seeing how the elders share that ancestral ceremony so that it is not lost. And being able to appreciate the interest and passion of the younger ones who still don't know the dances well. The farewell with Mormor has been super emotional. Really a very intense and impressive video. Keep it up, don't change. You are an example for many of us to follow. We love you, Alex from Madrid, Spain.

Your videos take me on a virtual adventure every week and I have learnt so much about the wonderous world that I do not have any access to but feel the love wherever you are and explore a new island. I lived in MAURITUS for a few years and that is where I will retire one day God willing, It is the closest experience to Heaven on EARTH. I so look forward to your next adventure. Keep travelling and exploring and living life as it is meant to be. Love you guys Brian, Kazza and Little Angel Sierra. Love to MORMOR, She is the epitome of Family Glue.

I don't know where to begin to tell you how entrancing the scenery was - but you went to every length to enhance that with National geo-level photography of their magnificent culture with its engrossing dance, food, clothing and on and on. And the to add in such a fine tribute to MorMor . . . sharing so much of your heart-felt love and respect for one another . . . man, you need to bottle this one up!!

This! THIS is why I love your channel and have for several years. Such a rich, cultural experience in Nuku Hiva. To be able to witness firsthand how these people have lived for thousands of years is an extremely rare treat. Despite the efforts of my colonial forefathers, many native cultures still thrive and survive today. Here in S.E. Alaska, the Tlingit and Haida cultures are really robust now and everyone from all races appreciate and respect their place on this land. Kaza, was hard to see Grandma leave. Made me choke up too! Am ecstatic that she, this late in life, is getting to experience these amazing adventures. Quite the amazing dive, despite the lack of viz. The colors were really amazing and the variety of reef life was vast and interesting! I'm not sure how you guys continue to up your game with each new video but I'm enjoying the high production values and the amazing scenery.
