  • Sailing into Tikehau is like entering a dream world. It’s our first atoll & once we’re inside the protection of the reef our minds are blown with the manta rays, sharks, fish life & striking sunsets.

    We spent a handful of days in Tikehau, Tuamotu and it wasn’t even close to long enough. I wish we had time to stay for a couple weeks. The underwater life is incredible, and we found ourselves SCUBA or freediving daily. We’d say hello to our Manta ray friends at Manta Island then we’d hop over to the pass for super clear water and huge schools of fish.
    We originally bought a sailboat to get to remote islands just like these…and man it feels good to experience such a special place.

    I started out with watching SV Delos vids, then Sailing Nandji, LaVagabonde, but you guys put the best videos on UA-cam out there. The quality, content and personalities are awesome. Please don't stop. Even my wife started watching them on our 65 inch big screen and says put on that cute couple.

    In 1962 the world was interduced to a skinny young man named Gilligan. Fast forward to today and you four are showing me why Gilligan Skipper and the rest of the castaways could have been lost on an uncharted island. For 50 of my years there was nothing west of Hawaii. Thank you for the education and taking me on your adventure. Safe travel you four.

I've been following you two for years, WAY back in the RV-ing days. I can only dream of visiting such incredible places like Tikehau. And, I'd take my dog to visit, too! My 11 year old pup likes cats. Sometimes, I feel that my dog thinks that she's a cat. Haha ... Thank you, again. Safe passages!

To surface and be at home straight away and the next day move a few miles to a new dive spot, a dream life your living. You are doing what others can only dream of, so thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us all. Love to you both. Oh! And to the cats too.
