I was mostly in 'Utungake, I made friends with a family and stayed with them learning the culture. I have been making Tongan language videos and went from 100 subscribers to 1350 in a short amount of time because of it.

Thanks mate! Glad you liked it. You've got to go someday!

got a question. Which is the best island in Tonga to go visit? I hear Tonga is beautiful but not sure where to go. Vava'u, ha'apai?

@itsryanwilkes

7 жыл бұрын

Hey there, they are both fantastic. Ha'apai is great if you want a whole beach to yourself! And Vava'u was fantastic for the whales, scootering around, and local culture. More going on in Vava'u. Ha'apai is really off the beaten track. Message me if you have more questions =)

Amazing drone shots. I'm curious about the locals, did they mind you filming?

+Here Be Barr I was wondering about that before I arrived, but it was totally okay with everyone! I obviously tried not to invade anyone's personal space and I always asked if I was going to get a shot with them in it for more than a second or two. But everyone didn't really seem to care that there was a camera around!

Ryan Wilkes us Tongan people LOVE it actually ESP the little kids. We defiantly don't mind at all. It's so great to know that you're both enjoying the island where I'm from! 😄

Here Be Barr The locals would've of loved it. Mainly because many Tongans don't have the liberty of purchasing drones or "toys" as such so because they're poor but they would've found it fascinating to see it up in the sky. Also, they have a love for any visitors that come to their island.. It's the way we were all taught even as Tongans living outside of Tonga in different countries; to make visitors feel welcomed and at home.

I think the mic is messed. I'm not sure why there is so much difference between the music and the voice audio. Otherwise, yay drone shots. haha
