- We've sailed to an unknown island paradise with good food, clear water, and insane hikes. Niue is the most amazing destination we never knew existed.

What a spectacular atoll! We were blown away after the first hike and our first lunch. The crystal clear water is unbelievable. The terrain is unforgivingly unique. And I hope the cave formations came out in the video. Smiles were glued to our faces here in Niue and I'm so sad our time was cut short so abruptly.
Never fear, if you liked this part of Niue just wait until next time! We take on a crazy hike filled with spiders and blind jumps into hidden pools. Then we top it off with a SCUBA dive with our new friends Expedition Drenched. It's one helluva sendoff that leaves us craving even more of this island paradise.
Living #OffTheGrid on a Sailboat for us is all about creating a more sustainable way of life. The more of the world we see, the more we want to preserve it. But, living off the grid doesn’t have to mean sacrificing modern comforts. We believe self-sustainability and comfort can coexist.
From RV to sailboat we’ve lived off the grid for ten years and have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water and managing waste. You can learn more over on our website: www.gonewiththewynns.com/livi...

Thanks for the video. My family are from Niue and when I was watching your video I saw my Village of Tuapa, the Mataapa chasm, and the Golden Arch. Lol. We live in New Zealand, I had the opportunity to take my wife and three sons back home in 2018. They love Niue and when I showed my sons your video they saw my grandfather's sister's home very briefly while you were driving and landmarks I had shown them where I stayed at. I am a patriotic New Zealander and very proud Niuean. Safe travels and thanks once again for your beautiful video of home. Kevin. 🇳🇺
It seems unphatamable, that such a pristine island can exist in today's world. Even just watching it gives me a bizarre vibe. It looks like something from pre-historic times or from another planet. It feels like it shouldn't exist. And I think maybe because it IS so untouched, unknown and hard to get to, it seems like the kind of place you visit either to be forgotten about the world, or at the end of your life after you've achieved everything you wanted to achieve. IDK how to describe it, but it doesn't feel like a place you just go to. Like it's something you have to earn and be deserving of.
We are from New Zealand so definitely heard of Niue but never been there. It looks amazing.
You guys have the best video's on here. Thanks for taking us to places most of us will never go.
Talk about a gift from God, this place is gorgeous!!
Book recommendation: "Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia" by Christina Thompson (2019) - How were the islands of the remote Pacific settled and where did the settlers come from? It's one of the great detective stories of all time. Exceptionally well researched and compellingly written.
Thanks - will have to check that out.
Us too!
Sounds good. Thanks!
Thankyou, definitely getting that book👍📚
Thanks mate, will give it a squiz
Nikki, I loved it when you started jumping up and down in the water at the arch on the beach shore! But then your sneaker had such a fatal blow-out, DANG! Stay safe to my favorite young sailors from "The Old Man" in the Dayton, Ohio nursing home.
Looked very athletic, makes me wonder how many hours a day they workout.
Hi Jim. Glad to see you enjoying these video's and living a roaming life through them even though you are stuck ashore. Stay well. regards from the UK
Merry Christmas Jim.
Merry Christmas Jim! From a girl who grew up in Mentor Ohio!
Merry Christmas Jim, from an Iowa gal (now), born and raised near Springboro Ohio.
Oh my goodness! You just took me away to when I solo traveled in my late 20's/early 30's... that long lasting feeling of universal love and being one with something higher. That lingering feeling of "I belong"....like your compkete...I just relived it for 16 min and 16 seconds. I'm now 45.
Thanks you Wynns Sincerely.
Another great video guys! Almost 2 years later and over 1 year full time in our RV, we still love watching you guys and owe a lot of the inspiration to you both. We don't get a lot of time to comment much anymore and sometimes have to play catchup watching. Now that we also have our own channel for over a year now, we have great respect for what all it takes to make this content and all that goes with it. Kudos to you both as you are top notch. 👍🏻🧡😊🤓
Love your clever channel name! ;D
@@janetleeharrison Thanks! 🧡😊🤓
Fish Tacos,check, Niue, check, visuals,check all never disappoint. Wind(sometimes it disappoints),uncheck. The Wynn’s never said it would be easy. Happy Holidays and thanks Jason & Nikki!
Happy holidays to you too!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 It’s getting jungley...*Jason: “You’re not on the trail anymore.” 😐🤣🤣 OMG, Jason kept the camera on your shoe🤣🤣🤣🤣..Too funny! What an amazing place. I would not want to leave😍
Your delaminated shoe cracked me up, out loud.
Sitting in my truck camper sipping coffee in a cold morning in Virginia I couldn’t have been taken away to a more beautiful place. For moments I actually felt Ike i was there a place I most likely will never be. Thank you both for sharing this and many other places with us. Merry Christmas hope Santa brings you some new hiking shoes. 😜
How do you like truck camping? I watch UA-cam videos on it. Stay warm!
T Sav well I have been living in it with my husband for over 3 years. Funny thing is after traveling everywhere in it we are just 3 miles from where we sold our big house and moved into this. We love this TC and choose it over the four 5th wheels we have owned. I don’t know there’s just something about the simplicity of it. On almost a daily basis we laugh and say “Can you believe we get to live like this”? I know it’s not conventional but for this moment in time we are happy with no regrets. Thank you, for asking and Merry Christmas.
@@sandrasumabat7350 We are on our 5th truck camper after 4 pull behinds and once you discover truck campers, you'll never go back :-) If one had to sum it up in one word, your description of "simplicity" hits the nail n the head :-) We often find ourselves saying "can you believe that all this fits in the bed of a truck" !
@@sandrasumabat7350 thanks for the info, may give it a try someday. Merry Christmas to you too!
@@TravelswithYoly , We love our TC too, we feel amazed of how much fits into it, and yet very minimalistic💕I treasure our travels and our TC👍😊
I adore it that these seas have had a joyful, more relaxed and playful effect on you guys!!!!! Adore catching up! What wonderous places you take us all to with you! Thank you for being more giving!!!
9:50 Wooooaahhhhh... 😲 That cave is incredible. What a beautiful island.
Niue - the best underwater visibility of any of the Pacific Islands... interesting diving, lots of sea snakes.
Ahhh... another great episode! We feel so grateful to get to watch you two visiting the WONDERful & incredible places that we've all probably never heard of, yet dream about :-) Niue...what an ahhhmazing place... looks magical!
My partner is Niuean, we met in our late 40s, we went there back in 2015, and she met her dad again after more than 20 yrs, he just passed, and is burried out front of the house, next to his parents, you probably saw the family graves out front of the houses, , our plan is to retire there one day, her family owns land there, so one day we will live the dream, here's hoping, great video, god bless.👍♥️👍♥️, We went to the arches, I had the wrong shoes, ha. Needed hiking shoes, took half an hour, but worth it, 😁
Merry Christmas/Happy Winter Solstice Nikki, Jason, Cleo, Singa, Curiosity and Minion! Thank you for taking us all on your journey through the Pacific, giving us the opportunity to see places and people most of us would never get to. May your holidays be as wonderful and bright as the 'Big Blue'!
Omg! My Nike's broke on the same hike to the tavala arches.amd back!!! Niue is amazing, we.flew.in on 29/8 this year and stayed for a.week... flew in on their now ONE flight a week, stayed at scenic resort... Didn't want to leave xo great.vid.guys
No place to anchor on the Eastern side of the Islands? What a beautiful place. I can see why cruisers could stay in the South Pacific for so long. There's so many gorgeous islands with such nice people.
Happy Holidays from your friend in Syracuse NY
Also from cuse lol, god this is so much better
Just seeing this! Having visited Niue, as well as enjoy the company of locals, I’m very pleased that you’ve shown this island nation to be a magical place! Thanks!
Your officially my family's favorite channel. My kids lalalala along with the intro every Sunday morning with me! We love the Wynn's!
Well done U2! These beautiful far distant Isles are made possible by your fortitude and resilience ! Enjoy!
Oh what a beautiful place you are! So looking forward to the continuing episode, hopefully showing us so much more! You might be able to salvage those shoes with some "super glue" type of adhesive or perhaps some sort of elastomeric from your boat supplies. Fingers crossed for a simple solution to this "soul-inspiring" saga!
I’ve heard of Niue! They had Pokémon on their currency in 2001. Beautiful
That's the most useful peace of information in a while!
@@antiqas 😂😂😂
Now they have star wars or some
Wow that place is awesome . Can’t wait to see the rest of it . So many people do not realize that you two are controlled by the weather when sailing so very much of the time . Thanks for sharing this kind of info and showing it to all of us on Land , makes for a very inspiring learning curve on what you all do day to day sailing . So a BIG tumps up . And as always coffee with you two on a Sunday morning is always great . .. from Steve stott in sutherlin Oregon u.s.a.
I so enjoyed the excitement you both have exploring this island. Best wishes for the Holidays!
And yet another epic video!!! Way cool! Thanks so much for sharing and continuing to allow us to enjoy your amazing adventures!
Nikki, your opening monologue is a fine prep to the discovery of HIUE and for those of us who have never been thank you for sharing.
What a bummer you don't get to stay longer! Niue has been on my list for a long time and it looks like its worth the trip to get there! We are in Utah, if ever find yourself going back to Zions come stay with us!
As always, a great video. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. My Sunday morning , watching the Wynns’ and drinking good coffee. Thanks.
Incredible video of an incredible place. Thanks.
I thought that starting my day with yet another wonderful Wynn’s adventure was amazing but ending my day with this most recent video is sure to give me dreams of crystal clear water, exciting caves and coffee😀 Thank you Wonderful Wynn’s for taking me on yet another glorious excursion.🥰⛵️
What an absolutely incredible place!!! I hope one day we will get a chance to sail there. Can't wait for part 2 😁 Such an awesome content filled episode you guys. Really great work! 💙
Such beauty. Thank you for sharing. Have a great Holiday
I know you guys realize this but your so lucky. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing adventures with us who never get to leave our small towns and offices. You guys rock
That place looks amazing........this is one of the main reasons I love watching yalls show......the discovery of places Ive never heard of, that are absolutely fantastic, Thanks for bringing us with yall!
Your enthusiasm is always amazing. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's, and smooth sailing.
I was in the Navy for 16 years and had heard of this island, but never got the chance to visit it.
The water in that atoll is unbelievable!!! Hope you have a happy holiday season 😊
*Jealous, from Kemah TX. ⛵
Kemah! I work in Houston occasionally. Fun place Kemah.
@@M-Swede it is fun 👍
What an absolutely beautiful island, thanks for sharing all of your videos❤️
Have been to Niue twice and will head back a third time in 2021. Its certainly a fascinating island 🏝. The restaurant you ate at was called Hio. Very yummy food. 😊
Watching from a very cold, windy and wet Westward Ho!, North Devon, UK feeling like I do every time I watch one of your videos - lucky to have "met you" online. Your travels, your videos, your sheer sense of fun inspire me always. Thanks Nikki and Jason for another incredibly year. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year for 2020! Can't wait to see what's on the menu!
Beautiful...and thanks for sharing. Also, wishing you all a happy holidays.!!
I thought for a moment Zinga made it onto the island, but just a twin I imagine, very cute! Another entertaining and visually stunning video
Guys, YES Niue is a most enchanting and magical place. It's just absolutely GORGEOUS! Am sure you just LOVED this place....I still have awesome memories of my two week visit there. 🎄🥂👌😎
Another great Sunday video! Thanks
Nikki, the smile on your face says it all !!! What an awesome place, thanks for showing it to us .
Merry Christmas to you both from the So.Cal.High Desert! 🎄Not sure if you guys are still in Texas but Enjoy the Holidays! looking forward to a new year of adventures with you guys!⛵🌴
Sooo Beautiful to see my island in your eyes ❤️
What an amazing place! Thank you for sharing!
Sunday morning with the Wynns =) Love it!!
Wow! What a place...Looks amazing. I could smell the caves when you hiked through and felt that cold water... Super looking forward to the second part! Happy Christmas and have a great New Year!
What an incredible part of the world! Looking forward to part 2. Would love to see this place in person. Cheers and Happy Holidays to you both!
So beautiful...and so is the scenery. Merry Christmas
Wishing you very Merry Christmas. Lots of love, health and many more beautiful videos to come.Thank you for all hard work, passion, and courage. Stay safe and happy.
You can make your Olde slip-ons like Nieue! Happens to me a lot. Clean the surfaces, dry, and apply either contact cement or crazy glue. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Mash Code I once had a pair of trainers for 3 years in school doing at least 1 hour of sports 5 days a week because I always patched them up with a little shoe glue or rather my Dad did😂
It’s surprising how long things last after a little diy fixing
@@CMO0002 yes, and trainers / sneakers for the most part can't be recycled due to the nature of the composite and blended materials that go into their manufacturing. There have been some interesting attempts at a modular design.
@@MaShcode I did not know this! Thanks for the info. I'm pretty interested in recycling and reusing materials (even though it may not always be possible to do in a home environment).
I've been watching you guys for at least 2 years now. Love the channel! I'm finally going to make it to the French Polynesian Islands and I'm so excited for it!
As always, such a great video! Thank you for taking us to where few will go or have gone! Merry Christmas 2019.
If you haven't pitched your sneakers already, I realize you probably have, but if you haven't, automotive weatherstip adhesive works great to repair the soles on sneakers. If there's an auto body shop wherever you are they probably have it. Once again another lovely Sunday morning adventure. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Duct tape for a temporary fix!
3M 5200 will make those shoes indestructible.
Hot glue works, too
Or just plain old shoe glue works very well.
@@aulii11 LOL..that's what I was thinking when her sole came off. Temporarily solution until she gets a new pair. Duct Tape fixes almost anything when you're in a bind 👍😊👟
Truly adventurous spirits, a joy to go along with you 🌲🚣♀️
Fantastic !! Merry chistmas to both of you and the sweet cats too ! Thanks again for sharing.
Again another great video your spirit is infectious and thanks to your talents to capture the beauty and the inspiration that surrounds you I am awestruck safe sailing aheadAnd as always thanks so much for sharing
Thanks so much for sharing with this beautiful natural wonder, truly amazing! Can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since your journey started. Merry Christmas and Happy NewYear! Most importantly, Wish you both fair winds and following seas ahead!
Ah this was such a chill video. You guys seem so nice! Thanks for sharing!
Nikki & Jason firstly a million thanks for all your videos been watching from the RV trips, have a great Christmas & Happy New Year , and get that heel glued up, HaHa best wishes from the UK
Your videos never fail to entertain, inform and amaze me. They are what I look forward to every Sunday morning. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Such a nice island guys. Loved the video . Great balance of good content and editing 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your lives and the world with us.
WOW, beautiful, thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you. 🎄🎄🎄👍👍😱
WOW what an AMAZING adventure so far on Niue! Bummer about your sneakers Nikki Thanks for this weeks work escape. Have a Merry Christmas guys!! Fair Wynns and Following Seas Curiosity!!
Watching your adventures from UTAH!! I can't imagine doing what you are doing. Looks so amazing, but you also better be prepared and knowledge is power!
The way you two do the "slice of life" is just awesome. Amazing shots, as always. Thanks for sharing.
A great video like always! 👌You're the bests! 🤟🏝Thanks for inspiring all of us, other sailors, to share our adventures! You set the level high!
Couldn't agree more ! But hey, you got a nice channel too! Don't give up 👌
Yeah they are the best out there, the story, the editing, everything! Thanks for making us discover new places every week! And L'Odyssée de Sagar Rani, keep it up! Great quality too!
@@amyvalswann7908 Thanks 😇
@@maevapotter7340 Thank you 😇
Niue is spectacular. My dive holiday destination in 2016 and I'd go back any day and live there. Hope to see you here in Australia one day. Maybe we'll share an anchorage somewhere.
Only one word.... Incredible! Great stuff Wynns.
Wonderful! Thank you both very much.
Merry Christmas folks, and a healthy & happy new year to the 4 of you.
Nothing but WOW! So cool I'm able to "ride along" with you on these adventures. Stay safe and keep on enjoying!
Limestone Coral how awesome is that.Sunday morning with the Wynns never disappoints.Enjoy the holidays!
Thanks for reminding me of the beauty of Niue. I was there for only a few hours on an around-the-world cruise and would love to go back.
Beautiful
Thanks for sharing
Niue definitely on my bucket list, thank you for this gem.
Been binge watching all of your videos, so far I am in April of 2017. I have been following you for about 10 days now. One of the finest channels on You Tube.
Two thumbs up. Great video as usual.
I love Niue it's my favorite Island in the South Pacific
Wishing you both & your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe & Happy New Year's
Another awesome place explored by two awesome people. Thanks for showing me places I've never seen, much less heard of.
Niue is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to
Like #14! Thanks for sharing. If there is a westerly blow... you gotta go!
I see, the race is on 😃
Another great adventure. Wonderful.
That place is awesome. Glad You took me there.
Wow.... looking good Nikki. Thanks Jason too for another great video..
Jumping for joy!!!
Wonderful👏👍🇨🇦
Love you guys. Happy Christmas
Great video, another successful departure away from the chaos and worries landing upon another glistening jewel of the South Pacific.Thank You ! Happy Holidays
Really well done! The rhythm of your videos draws me in and keeps my attention.
I had the same thing happen to me returning from a long hike. 😆 Hey Jason, I know who needs a new pair of hiking shoes for Christmas. 🎅🥾 Realizing this was filmed months ago; I'm sure you have a new pair by now😁. It still doesn't ease the pain of losing a great pair of shoes with such good memories. I put the sole of the shoe, that fell off, in a shadow box to help me remember all of the beautiful places it took me to. 🤣 Niue is otherworldly. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing. 🎄
I know, it's so sad!
Moral: always carry strapping tape, not for knees or ankles, but for shoes. Niue looks glorious and unspoiled by phosphate mining (thanks to its inaccassability) or tourism. What a shame your visit was cut short by our Southern Hemisphere tumultuous weather this year.
Amazing! Photography and Videography was the best you’ve both done EVER! Happy New Year. You brightened my day. -Alex
