- Meet Hina and her family and experience TRUE TONGAN HOSPITALITY . In this episode we sail from Niue to Vavau and meet the friendliest most welcoming locals, who invite us to a feast. Together we prepare "umu" in an underground oven, we listen to the unbelievable harmonies filling the churches of Tonga on Sunday and Mira learns to weave baskets.
***
В този епизод ще разберем какво означава "истинско гостоприемство" в Тонга. Плаваме от Ниуе до Вавау и се запознаваме с Хина и нейното семейство - най-приветливите местни жители, които ни канят на пиршество. Заедно приготвяме "уму" в подземна фурна, слушаме невероятните хармонии в неделната църква и Мира се учи да плете кошници.

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL LOVE! THE POLYNESIANS AND MICRONESIANS ARE VERY HOSPITABLE ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE KIDS. WE HAVE PROFOUND MEANING TO CARE FOR VISITORS. HOPE THIS CULTURE WILL KEEP GOING. SPREAD LOVE EVERYONE.
I’m half Tongan and half White. I was born in America and have very little knowledge of my own people back home in Tonga. Thanks for this video.
With the little they have, but are truly rich because of their Faith in God. God Bless Hina and her family.
Amen, well said and God bless.
peaceful people with warm heart and wonderful hospitality ❤
Excellent video story Maya. I love Tonga!
Better than National Geographic guys! Great job!
aw what a great video what a blessing Im Tongan and Have never been back to the Country where my Parents come from Loved the Video!

You all look lovely in your Tongan attires. Much ''ofa (love) to you all and malo (thank you) for sharing your experience
Its lovely to see you welcomed into the culture, I spent a month in Neifu awaiting a ride on a yacht sailing west, and loved every minute. Stayed at the Hilltop Motel. Met with the older yachties also. You showed the Tongan people so well.
the most big heart community, our pacific islander community. Such a lovely family
The best!
What a great video! Thank you so much for appreciating our culture. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Vava'u. :-)
Yes, very much, thank you!
nice tongan family .. i wish to visit tonga one day
Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. I’m Tonga but I left Tonga when I was young to USA. I have not been to any Island out side Tongatapu. I love your videos.
Wonderful, insightful view into Tonga, love how you guys get to the essence of where you sail to.
Tongan hospitallity is so heartfelt
What a beautiful family Hina's family is.
It must have been very sad when it came time to say farewell.
An excellent video I enjoyed alot
Malo apito
Oh I know this lady who taught your mum how to make the basket... used to be at the same high school

Malo lelei...Great video..never been to Tonga.. beautiful culture....Keep up the great voyage...Faafetai from Samoa
Awesome video and inspiring as well. Very proud of Hina and her family for their Tongan hospitality. 'Ofa atu and God bless.
Thanks to Hina and her family and the few other Tongan people we met, we LOVE dearly Tonga and all Tongan people!
One of the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam so far thank you so so much
i really enjoyed watching.. i always wanted to go to tonga.. thanks for sharing what life is like... and how wonderful the people are there... it was beautiful
malo much love my tonga
Just discovered your page and wanted to say thank you for this video. It is making me homesick. I'm from the main island Tongatapu but I have been to Vava'u a couple times. I am going again this December to swim at the Mariners Cave (I believe it was the one you were diving in). Bless your travels around the world.
From your new Tongan/American subscriber.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for the video and story
Protect your marine.. Pls keep oceans clean.. Keep marine life safe...happy ocean.. Happy safe sail.
What an amazing video you guys made, your narrating Maya was great, I felt like I was watching a doc. The hospitality of Hina and her family was amazing. Many thanks for sharing and best from HKG
Beautiful basket nice
Very nice experiences with the locals
Nice 👍
Awesome 👍👍, im enjoying your videos, im from Honolulu Hawaii
Wonderful video. Beautiful families.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful😍😍
Good video
Loved it! Ofa atu
Thanks!
I've enjoyed your video. Have you been sailing long? Hope there's more trips and videos in the future. Safe travels😎
Truly the Friendly Islands
Now we need a video of Island family visiting Europe and see the Hospitality of the Europeans
It depends in which part of Europe they go. If they visit a small mountain village in Bulgaria and meet a nice local family- they might have a very similar warm and welcoming experience. Europe is not just Paris or London.
I dont think theyll be as welcoming
So you found Nemo in Tonga? Yaaye! 😆🙌
I am a tongan luttel bii
💕💕💕💕💕
Mahimahi fish
Brilliant. ..in 2019. .Mira can weave a basket n I can't. ..n am Tongan. ..*having an embarrassment laugh*...hhhhh
Banana leaves are more authentic than foils. Civilization/convenience or real traditional authenticity? Battle of Truth has begun.
@Ofeina Ulunga your family
Awesome hospitality. The FRIENDLY ISLAND. Nek time I visit Tonga, shouts on me Hina ✊🏾💯
I really enjoyed watching. Im from Neighbouring Samoa, I love visiting the Kingdom of Tonga, been there several times. I've only been Tongatapu, Makaha'a, Pangaimotu, Fafa and 'Eua in the south and Niuafo'ou and Niuatoputapu in the north, but I've never got the chance (more like time) to visit Vava'u, I'd love to go there someday. That family are so beautiful so loving and very hospitable, that's the beauty of Polynesian Cultures, where sharing is caring, treating complete strangers as family, and where smiles and kindness is free. Oh BTW next time you go to the Kingdom you have to experience the beautiful traditional Tongan Dancing, my two favourites being the "Mako" (men's action dance) and the "Tau'olunga" (ladies graceful dance), both have beautifully handcrafted costumes and accompanied by music with amazing unique Tongan Harmonies. I'm so proud you and your family are living the dream. Safe and Pleasant Travels always. As we say in Samoa, "Manuia le Malaga" its like Bon Voyage but with a more deeper meaning.
Im tongan and i use to live in Samoa. Love you all kainga pasifiki.
It's so sweet to show love and kindness from hina and her family, they might not have much but to make you and your family's feel welcome is so priceless. God bless you and your family and thanks for the great video. Stay safe out there.
Greetings from Australia. You are an amazing family travelling around the Pacific on a small boat. What a strong family. The Tongan family were great helping you guys out.
I Love how you got involved with the locals! And you went to Church with them, very respectful and cool.
Wow very nice video, looks like a beautiful country and lovely people. love and respect from Brazil!
GOD BLESS YOU N YOUR FAMILY FROM THE KINGDOM OF TONGAN
Very humbling indeed. I subscribed straight after watching this wonderful clip.
Love from Fiji.❤️
Thank you for the beautiful video this is how the Tongan families are they open their homes to strangers from another country who knows how many times theyve been doing this,on a hot day they saw a family walking not knowing where they going turn get some shade to open their hearts full of kindness,hospitality is awesome.Malo to the Tongan family and their guest wishing them safe travels and many more friends along the way.Bula from Winnie/Texas.
Bula Vinaka, this is so beautiful. Can so relate to this every Sunday having Lovo for lunch right after Lotu . Love island life and this makes me feel homesick 😊
Thank you for an amazing video of Tonga and your family.This videos gives a homesick feelings,the feeling! I am Tongan but reside in Australia now. I am proud of my culture but it hurts me to see that it is slowly evolving to be more commercialise.This video reminds me of the days that I grew up in Tonga.One time we had a tourist (male) from Germany,around 1977.He missed his ferry and look around for a place to stay,but at that time in Haapai there were any commercial accommodation then.My cousin invite him to catch a boat with him to my island,and so we stayed with him for a week and then my cousin sail back to catch his ferry.I am so grateful to see that these kind of hospitality still exists in my home land as life is not all about business but creating a friendship is far lasting in our hearts that money last in our hands.Thank SAILING FATA MORGANA for your video! And thank you to Hina and her families for the hospitality,that makes us proud to be Tongan
Thank you for your wonderful thoughts! We are glad that so many Tongans have seen our video and felt nostalgic for their beautiful homeland and charming way of life which is still largely unspoiled by the outside world in the small islands. We feel so grateful for Hina's hospitality and we now love and respect all Tongans everywhere in the world. One person, one family, can make a difference! Thank you all!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey in youtube. I really enjoyed it. Bula from Fiji.
Great Vlogs.
I'm sure the Tongan people appreciate your great videos too.
If it ever crosses your radar try Tokelau.
Beautiful country.
Thanks!
Grew up in Vavau one of the most beautiful islands in Tonga. My favourite part was when you all wore the Tongan attire you all look so beautiful 😍 bless you all and ofaatu 🇹🇴
One of my favorite video. God bless this Tongan family.
Awesome experience..that is what we call the Pacific Islands way of life......
Unique experience. Thank you!
Hello Fata Morgana crew, even though I have sailing around the world twice now, I still really enjoy watching your video's. It is a pity my wife died in such an early age, she would have loved this way of life.At the moment I am in Mombasa and will leave for Pemba island soon. Fair winds to you and regards from the S/V Aotearoa 1
Yes I am a kiwi but I lived a long time in Holland, but when I'm old and grey I will end my sailing life in New Zealand, you can always ask me about any destination you want to go to. But remember I haven't seen it all yet.Take care
Well done guys! I'm following many similar channels, but there are not so many that I trully enjoy; yours is among a few of them! Greetings from Istanbul...
You guys are living the dream. Made me homesick watching this video. God bless you guys and be safe on your adventures.
LOVE TONGA! Thank you!
This is too good really enjoy watching this !,,,what a very humble and kind hearted Tongan family ...God Bless Your Wonderful Family.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. You three are a wonderful family. God bless you.
Wonderful episode. I enjoy seeing how friendly the people of Tonga are. It is great to see how quickly friends can be made with simple kindness and hospitality.
I would love to spend my days exploring this beautiful earth on the water!
The ease of making new friends in new places.loved it all, from a Kiwi in wet wet NZ.
This is amazing just another Tongan bloke here stopping by to show some love thank you for sharing god bless.
Mira made a beautiful basket. That was such a wonderful gift for Maya. The Tongan Sunday church, meal preparation, and eating on the banana leaf table was so interesting. Such nice people.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

I didn't see my comment, so I'm leaving another. Truly enjoyed your video😁 hoping to watch more. Safe travels
Nothing comes close to Tongan hospitality. No matter how little to none Tongans have, they will always serve you with the utmost best. Praying and blessings to Hina and her family in 10 x folds. I love the fact your mum learnt such an essential skill that the ladies in Tonga don't get enough credit for - weaving. Hands down such a humbling video to watch, You did an amazing job at this video. LOVE IT!!
Thanks , Shalom!
Found nemo 😂 malo and God bless you guys.
Thts is so amazing guy's😍😍😍Blessed the Tongan family🙏im wondering if you still contact with Hinas and her lovely Family?
Wow haven't been back to Tonga in 28 years I was born there and came to the US in 1991 watching this video really makes me wanna go back bad lol LOVE the video have a safe journey...
JESUS FINAL WARNING
IN THE BIBLE THERE ARE TYPE WHICH IS THE PAST AND THE ANTI TYPE WHICH IS THE FUTURE. MATTHEW 24 :34 NKJV "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place". SPECIFICALLY TALKS ABOUT THE GENERATIONS OF THE APOSTLES. THE BIBLE DOES NOT LIE, WHEN THE LORD JESUS SAYS THIS GENERATION, THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE HE WAS TALKING TO AT THAT TIME, WHICH ARE THE APOSTLES. IF YOU READ PRIOR TO CHAPTER 34, IT IS TALKING ABOUT THE PARABLE OF THE FIG TREE, WHICH SYMBOLIZE ISRAEL AS THE FIG TREE. THE LORD JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL (FIG TREE) WHO DID NOT BELIEVE IN HIM. THE DESTRUCTION TOOK PLACE IN 70 AD, GOD REMOVE HIS SPIRIT BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF AS A RESULT THERE IS NO PROTECTION FROM THE ENEMIES AND ROME CONQUERED JERUSALEM LITERALLY, BECAUSE SPIRITUALLY THEY HAVE BEEN CONTROLLED BY ROME EVEN DURING THAT TIME. JOHN WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF JOHN AND THE REVELATION THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WAS STILL ALIVE WHEN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JERUSALEM TOOK PLACE BECAUSE JOHN WROTE THE BOOK IN 90 AD WHILE HE WAS IN PRISON BY ROME IN PATMOS. THIS IS THE TYPE WHICH IS PAST THAT HAPPENED IN 70 AD, AND THE ANTI TYPE IS THE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL OR CHRISTIANS WHO FALL AWAY FROM THEIR FAITH AND THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME OR THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. PAUL MENTIONS THIS IN 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-4 NJKV "Now, brethren, CONCERNING THE COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.Let NO ONE DECEIVE you by any means; fort that DAY (END OF THE WORLD) will not come unless the FALLING AWAY comes first and the man of sin (ANTICHRIST-PAPACY) is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes annd exalts himself above all that is called GOD or that is worshiped.
The FALLING AWAY TOOK PLACE WHEN THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH COMBINED WITH PAGANISM THAT RESULTS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC OR THE PAPACY. AND THE REFORMERS IN EUROPE WHO CREATED THE PROTESTANTISM TO PROTEST THE PAPACY PARTICULARLY THE GERMAN REFORMERS, MARTIN LUTHER WHO EXPOSED THE MAN OF SIN OR THE ANTICHRIST IN 1521 WHERE ALL THE REFORMERS IN EUROPE AGREED THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
IN OUR TIME, PROTESTANTISM IS DEAD, THE INCEPTION OF PROTESTANTISM IS TO PROTEST NOT ONLY THE TEACHING OF THE PAPACY WHO CONTROL ALL RELIGIONS IN OUR TIME. THAT IS WHY ONLY ONE DENOMINATION THAT STAND WHAT THE REFORMERS STOOD FOR, THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. THE REST ARE FUTURISM OR DISPENSATIONALISM . YOU SEE THE PAPACY CREATED MANY SUB ORGANIZATION EVEN DURING THE TIME OF LITERAL PERSECUTION IN THE DARK AGES WHEN THE BIBLE WAS KEPT BY THEM AND NOT ALLOWED TO READ TO THE PUBLIC. THAT IS WHY ONLY THE PRIEST CAN READ, AND MARTIN LUTHER WAS A FORMER CATHOLIC PRIEST AND GOD USE HIM TO EXPOSE THE MAN OF SIN. THE PAPACY NEVER PERSECUTED BY THEMSELVES, THEY CREATED ORGANIZATIONS TO DO IT FOR THEM EXCEPT OF COURSE IN MY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN THE PHILIPPINES WHICH THE REAL HISTORY WAS ERASED. JESUITS WAS CREATED BY THE PAPACY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ERASING WHAT MARTIN LUTHER REVEALED IN 1521. THE SAME YEAR MARCH 16, 1521 WHEN THE PAPACY CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES AND PERSECUTED THE PEOPLE WHICH IS UNHEARD OF. REALLY MAJORITY OF THE CHRISTIAN WORLD DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT GOD HAD REVEALED 497 YEARS AGO. IN GODS CALENDAR, IT IS STILL 2018 BECAUSE THE YEAR ENDS AT MARCH 15, IF YOU USE THE HEBREW CALENDAR.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE STARTING POINT WHICH IS 1521, THE YEAR WHEN THE man of sin (PAPACY) HAS REVEALED ACCORDING TO THE 2 THESSALONIANS 2: 1-4 SPEAKING ABOUT THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS OR THE END OF THE WORLD IT WILL ONLY COME WHEN THE FALLING AWAY OR APOSTASY OF THE first CHRISTIANS AND THE man of sin MUST BE REVEALED WHICH IS THE YEAR 1521. ALL WE NEED IS HOW LONG GOD'S MERCY WILL END.
IN THE PARABLE OF THE UNFORGIVING SERVANT GIVES US THE NUMBER OF HOW LONG GOD WILL ACT TO GIVE VENGEANCE TO HIS PEOPLE, IN MATTHEW 18:21 NKJV "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times(7x)?" Jesus said to him, " i do not say to you, up to seven times (7x), but up to seventy (70) times seven 7". IF YOU MULTIPLY 70 X 7 YOU WILL GET 490 YEARS, AND YOU ADD THE PROPHECY OF NOAH, AS HE WAS 7 DAYS IN THE ARK BEFORE THE FLOOD CAME. IN PROPHECY A DAY IS ALWAYS EQUAL TO A YEAR. THEREFORE 490 YEARS + 7 YEARS = 497 YEARS. IF YOU ADD 1521 + 497 = 2018 THIS YEAR IN HEBREW CALENDAR OR 2019 IN SOLAR CALENDAR. 2018 IS THE END OF THE WORLD. THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR AND SPECIFIC IN DEALING WITH EACH WORD. NO ONE KNOWS THE day AND THE hour. THAT MEANS GOD CAN REVEAL THE YEAR AND THE MONTH OF THE END OF THE WORLD TO HIS SERVANTS.
READ MY TESTIMONY ON FACEBOOK. MY NAME IS MARLON DEGAMO CABAHUG. THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF REVEALS THEM TO ME. THE BIBLE SAY, IN 2 PETER 1:19-21 KJV "We have also a more SURE WORD of PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
