The joy of making it across the reef WITHOUT CAPSIZING Niulakita, Tuvalu 2023 ❤️🇹🇻

- The tiny island of Niulakita makes up one of Tuvalu's nine islands. Somewhere around 25 people live on this island and it is notorious for boats capsizing! Unfortunately also with lives lost. Only the best seafarers get to navigate across the reef. Watch the joy of making it across the reef without capsizing.
Tuvalu is one of the worlds smallest, least visited, and most isolated countries. But a country with a lot of heart.

Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing! I would have been a nervous wreck. Looks like so much fun though.
Yeah - and to imagine that it’s everyday life for the fishermen
That was a lucky one only few people who had live there know there way out of the reef some didn’t made it 😢 they died in that same spot ❤ hi I’m Tuvaluan 🇹🇻
Hi there, yes, in the big picture few go. It was nice to visit though ❤️🇹🇻
been there once...nice place...
Great 👍
Hello Thor. Greetings from Türkiye. I found you in another channel (Varuna Gezgin's Tuvalu Video). It's interesting to travel around the world without flying. It sounds a real adventure. I really wonder how many years would that take and how much money would that cost minimum. I will dive into your videos. See you around 😁
Cool, thanks!
Crazy! I'm looking to interview someone from all 9 municipalities of Tuvalu. Niulakita is proving difficult since so few live there :/
Do you know of any way to contact someone there?
The best way would be to go there. But alternatively they have a church and a pastor/priest. Perhaps you can reach out to the responsible branch in Funafuti and find out who it is. Good luck.
The People on Niulakita are also Niutaoans. The residents on the island act as caretakers and rotate with other Niutaoans. It’s like working a shift except this shift could take years. 🤣
Hi any advice on traveling to Niulakita? I am going there for a short work trip. Also do you have any videos of the island and your stay there ? Thanks 😊
Hi, if you’re just visiting Tuvalu for a short work trip then you’re unlikely to make it to the outer islands…especially Niulakita. But you can go with the government ferries on a regular basis. Like once a month. I don’t do much video but I’ve blogged about my time in Tuvalu here www.onceuponasaga.dk - enjoy 👍
@@OnceUponaSaga Thanks yes - I will be timing the govt ferry there :) Thanks for the blog link!
Say your prayers lols
Hi, I'm Italian, I would like to visit Tuvalu, reach Niulakita and stay there for three months, is it possible or is it just a dream destined to remain in the drawer?
Hi there, it’s certainly doable. Get to Funafuti, buy a ferry ticket to Niulakita, and off you go. People are super friendly and helpful in Tuvalu. But time means nothing so don’t expect much to go exactly as planned.
I wonder what you can do on an island with 27 inhabitants, do they have electricity?
Hi again, I wrote about my visit to the island in this blog. Enjoy: www.onceuponasaga.dk/blog/486-tuvalu-s-outer-islands-seeing-a-country
Niulakita reef it rough but Nukulaelae is most dangerous reef hhhhhhh trust me I'm a Tuvalu
I went to all nine islands during my visit. So experienced Nukulaelae reef too 😃🇹🇻
