Welcome to the Tuamotus, French Polynesia where life runs a bit slower here but things always seem to get done. And it's the weekend, the internet is now turned on for the villagers and at the moment no one is here so the internet is moving a bit faster. :)

Best Pacific Islands to Visit in 2023

The hundreds of island nations that make up the South Pacific may require some travel, but for many, the journey is well worth the trouble.

Unspoiled beaches, impressive historical sites, and a relaxed atmosphere make up this vast region, which is perfect for a getaway.

However, choosing which remote paradise to prioritize may be difficult given the abundance of islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

That's where we come in. in this video we compared the best Pacific Islands based on traveler's feedback, expert recommendations, accessibility, and affordability, as well as the variety of attractions available.

Adventures to a Tiny South Pacific Atoll

Sailing through the Tuamotu Atolls is always an adventure, even if the passage itself was glorious, there's always something...We are not around much internet these days so we have been quiet but that will change within the month...I think. :)

Ep 165 | Exploring Minerva Reef, a Beautiful Coral Atoll in the South Pacific, Sailing Nutshell

We leave Tonga and sail in the direction of North Minerva Reef, a beautiful coral atoll in the South Pacific.

We finally arrive at South Minerva Reef after a detour due to weather conditions.

Magnus uses the mooring balls from the Tuamotus on our anchor to stop it from getting caught up in the reef and we have a look around the atoll.

Mavi gets a workout and flies over this amazing place which is in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

Wendy has a snorkel in the crystal clear shallow waters.

Thanks for watching and following along with our adventures.

Wendy and Magnus

Real Life on a Remote Island ????️ || Palmerston Cook Islands - Population 35

Fishing, School, Soccer and Solar Power! What life is really like living on a remote island in the South Pacific Ocean.
JOIN OUR SAILING CREW ⛵

???? AWESOME tunes for vids:
- Artists: Giants & Pilgrims (Intro), Rex Banner, Leroy Wild, and Paper Planes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palmerston Island is one of those places we’ll remember forever. It’s the most remote place we’ve ever sailed, but that isn’t what makes it so memorable. The islanders have completely immersed us into their world from the moment we set our feet in the sand.

When we decided to buy a boat and set off into the deep blue, I dreamed of all the possibilities and experiences we would have. But I never expected it to play out so vividly in reality.

Yet, here we are, far away from civilization, living off coconuts and fish, playing with free spirited island kids and seeing firsthand what life is like when you live isolated with 34 of your relatives.
