Tagata Pasifika Special: Return to Tokelau Part 1

Getting to Tokelau, the most remote country on earth | Tokelau stories part 1

Getting to Tokelau is not easy, the country doesn't have an airport so you have to jump through a few hoops to get there. In this video Sam and Andrew travel from New Caledonia through Apia, Samoa to the country of Tokelau, one of the smallest, most remote and most special countries on earth. Unless you like 60 hour boat rides and the fast and the furious 6, then this vid is probably the best way to experience what we went through to get to this amazing country. Why do it yourself when we edited it all down into a 7 minute clip?

This is the first part of a series of videos showing how to get to Tokelau, the popping and fly fishing there, and what life is like on the island.

If you like it, let us know and we'll film more videos like this from other amazing places in the Pacific.

Tokelau - there is such a country

Tokelau (north wind, second name - Union Islands), island possession of New Zealand in the central part of Oceania. It is washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It includes 3 small atolls (Fakaofo, Nukunonu, Aiafu) in the form of an arc 480 km to the north of the Samoan archipelago. All atolls have a classic shape - a ring of small coral islets (no more than 200 m wide) around the central lagoon with a thin layer of barren soil. These islets are the above-water tops of the underwater coral reefs. The atolls are low (no higher than 5 m). The surface of the islets is composed of coral debris. The total land area is 12.2 sq. km.

Escape to Pukapuka: Discovering the Cook Islands' Most Secluded Paradise

Pukapuka: The Quintessence of Paradise - Discovering the Cook Islands' Hidden Jewel

Prepare to be enchanted by Pukapuka: The Quintessence of Paradise, a video journey to one of the world's most breathtaking and unspoiled destinations. Located in the Cook Islands, Pukapuka is not just an island; it's the embodiment of paradise, a dreamlike escape far removed from the hustle of modern life.

This captivating exploration begins with the island's crowning glory - its stunning lagoon, renowned as one of the most beautiful in the world. The crystal-clear waters, fringed by pristine sands, create a vision of serenity and beauty that truly defines the word paradise.

But Pukapuka's allure extends far beyond its physical beauty. Its remoteness is its charm, offering a genuine escape. Situated in the far northwest of the Cook Islands, closer to other island nations than to its own capital, Rarotonga, Pukapuka is a world unto itself.

We delve into the rich tapestry of Pukapukan culture, a unique blend influenced by neighbouring Samoa, Kiribati, and Tokelau. This cultural mosaic is vividly reflected in the Pukapukan language, a distinct dialect that stands apart from Cook Islands Maori, adding to the island's mystique.

Pukapuka: The Quintessence of Paradise is more than a travel documentary; it's an invitation to experience a way of life untouched by time. It's a journey into the heart of a community that embodies the spirit of the Pacific, where tradition and tranquillity reign supreme.

Join us as we uncover the secrets of Pukapuka, where every moment is a reminder of the sheer beauty of simplicity. This video is a celebration of an island that ticks every box for paradise and creates new ones.
