The MOST INCREDIBLE REMOTE ISLAND You've Never Heard Of
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.
You guys have the best video's on here. Thanks for taking us to places most of us will never go.
We are from New Zealand so definitely heard of Niue but never been there. It looks amazing.
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.

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.
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.

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.

Your delaminated shoe cracked me up, out loud.
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, 😁
9:50 Wooooaahhhhh... 😲 That cave is incredible. What a beautiful island.
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. 👍🏻🧡😊🤓

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!
Niue - the best underwater visibility of any of the Pacific Islands... interesting diving, lots of sea snakes.
I was in the Navy for 16 years and had heard of this island, but never got the chance to visit it.
Well done U2! These beautiful far distant Isles are made possible by your fortitude and resilience ! Enjoy!
I’ve heard of Niue! They had Pokémon on their currency in 2001. Beautiful

Hi from Florida, that shoe don't throw it away. They make a glue that my wife uses all the time to fix shoes and sneakers. I'm not sure how plentiful it is out were your at but it's call ShoeGOO. It comes in clear, black and white. We always use the clear. It's very compliant and water proof. Amazon handles it too. We love you guys and we live vicariously through your videos.
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'!
Your officially my family's favorite channel. My kids lalalala along with the intro every Sunday morning with me! We love the Wynn's!
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!
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.
Niue is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to
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

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.

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.
Incredible video of an incredible place. Thanks.
Sooo Beautiful to see my island in your eyes ❤️
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.
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
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!
And yet another epic video!!! Way cool! Thanks so much for sharing and continuing to allow us to enjoy your amazing adventures!
I so enjoyed the excitement you both have exploring this island. Best wishes for the Holidays!
Such beauty. Thank you for sharing. Have a great Holiday
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! 💙
Another great Sunday video! Thanks
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!
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.🥰⛵️
As always, a great video. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. My Sunday morning , watching the Wynns’ and drinking good coffee. Thanks.

I was there @ 2005 just for the day. Beautiful place and it appears far more developed now and only one flight per week then. We had to taxi our plane close to a fuel tank in order to refuel and we had to pay cash. I enjoyed seeing it again, thank you.
Two thumbs up. Great video as usual.
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.
Merry Christmas, you two!

When Nikki laughs her little laugh - I feel good all over. When she looks at the camera with her Alfred E. Neuman smile - (what? me worry?) - I feel good all over.
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.
