- Few journeys today are as exciting as the destination. The rare exception is the romantic and exciting trip to Pitcairn Island. In this expedition we explore the exotic island of Tahiti, go into the center of Tahiti where few venture. We retrace the voyage of Captain Bligh and the HMS Bounty famous for the greatest maritime story of all time, the Mutiny on the Bounty. We will also see the most incredible photographs of the island of Moorea that lies only 10 miles from Tahiti.
Part 2 of our expedition is through the Tuamotus showcasing numerous atolls and some of the most beautiful tropical coral reefs in the world.
Part 3 is exploring the island of Mangareva in the Gambier Islands visiting the Tahitian pearl farms and seeing the most incredible Tahitian pearls in the world. And a little behind the scenes with Julian McDonnell (Joolz Guide) of Take me to Pitcairn fame.
We will witness a gorgeous sunset at sea and the rarely see green flash.
Part 4 is the exciting ocean voyage from the Gambier Islands to Pitcairn Island via Oeno Atoll. We will travel on the Claymore 2, the 67-foot racing yacht the Xplore and the yacht Southern Cross Julian McDonnell and I sailed on while Julian filmed Take me to Pitcairn. Our story will end arriving at Pitcairn Island.For those that make it to the end will see vintage Pitcairn Island photos dating back to the year 1890.
If you would like to see the island of Pitcairn please watch Exploring Pitcairn Island by drone or a few other Pitcairn Island videos I have posted.

Thanks for the recommend!
This was also highly entertaining and very well done.
💯
Loved the GREEN FLASH!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is just phenomenal work. I felt like I was there, a part of the trip. Thank you so much for sharing this, these islands are truly paradise.
You’ve made some beautiful and interestingly educational videos. I hope you continue to post more videos of your travels. Short or long videos both welcome! Thank you for the opportunity to travel, even if only in my imagination.
Enjoyed that very much along with the video of the island
Thank you Tony: It brings back lots of memorys of the good old days 50 -60 years ago. and by the power of God I am still going strong on my present journey which is best of all.
Well thank you I really enjoyed this video
Thank you. Excellent photos and narrative.
What a wonderful place.you are very lucky...love from england
Thank you for watching
Amazing reportage, Well done🇳🇴🙋♂️🐺
Thank you so much for this. I seen pictures and videos from people at Pitcairn. But never anything about getting there. You really did a great job describing all the places you went to and through. Especially at Mangareva. Now that looks like a great place to live.
Mangareva truly is a peaceful and picturesque place. It has some of the cleanest water in the world and when the sea is flat and still the colors as you can sea in the video of both land and sea combined is nothing short of stunning. Thank you for watching.
What a cool video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so very much for this superlative video!
11:00... that is my all time favorite fish to eat. When my dad (spearfisherman) would catch that, I'd grab it and wrap it with foil and thrown on a BBQ grill. After 20mins, its just fresh and my happy food. I eat it with breadfruit or taro.
Thanks again, Tony. I envy you your upbringing. What a way to spend your youth 😉
great! I hope you found Pitcairn reed warbler. A bird unique to the island and one very few ornithologist have had a chance to see. What makes little islands unique is not only its culture that mostly originated some 1000s of years ago, but the fauna and flora that evolved over millions of years.
You make the best videos! Thanks to you, a trip to Pitcairn & Mangareva is on my bucket list 😊
Yes... we might only live once. Have to see the world before we kick the bucket.
Terrific documentary!
The picture taken at 36:20 is stunning
Terrific video, thanks for taking the time to make it and share it with us all!

Great job on the video Tony.....very informative! Loved the before and after shots. I know you were struggling on what to include and not to include, but it turned out perfect. Glad to see you managed to get your drone back......barely. Whew!
Fantastic tour .
Thanks .
Thank You Tony....Quite the adventure and very well presented for all your viewers. A very wonderful adventure to say the least....TM
@TONY Just two words are enought to comment "Absolutely Incredible".
Thank you.
WOW! Another great video by you!!! Too beautiful! Great job!!!
So glad you liked it. I guess I should make more.
Amazing content. Thanks, Tony!
So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Appreciated your response on how to get to Pitcairn. Really love your beautiful photos and drone videos on working your way to Pitcairin Island. A cost guide line to get to that destination would be greatly appreciated. Your videos, and photos help in my lifelong dream of visiting that part of the world. Thanks again Tony for your time and efforts in making these memories for everyone to enjoy. Alan Flower

Depending on where you are coming from it can be done for around $10,000 US. It is a bit of money but if you make it all the way to the end of the video you will see my quote that I like to live by "He who dies with the most memories wins" Save up and treat yourself to memory that will last you a lifetime.
@@tonyprobst4266 Sounds if the journey costs are too much again-somebody is profiteering.
After all the ship does a routine trip through to Pitcairn?
@@dianamincher6479 I can assure you there is very little profit made by the ship taking you to Pitcairn. The captain and crew make just a living like everyone else. This is one of the least costly vacations one can take. $10,000 divided by the 22 days it takes for me to leave home and return is $455 a day that includes 4 plane rides, 2 boat trips, hotels, food and all the necessities and you are going to one of the most secluded places on the planet. Yes, you can do Hawaii on a little over $300 a day but I assure you the experience is not the same and they I am sure they make more profit on your dollar spent.
Just amazing 👍👌😊👏🙏
Fantastic to see something fresh.
If God's Will, hope to see in flesh...
Thanks again

This is a fantastic film. I really enjoyed the photos especially the sunsets and the narration. Thanks.
great series, read "Mutiny on the Bounty" many years ago, enjoyed this 110%
Better than any holiday vid I've ever seen,
Thank you.
Thanks for beautiful and truly moving film.
Did you see this video I made of the whales on Pitcairn. th-cam.com/video/Fee2i4Pfov4/w-d-xo.html
Yet another excellent video.
Really excellent video 👍👌😊😊
Absolutely brilliant thanks again for posting
Good job, nicest video ever
Wonderful video. I love the mix of static and drone photography along with interesting and informative commentary. As an aside @16:31 is that ice forming on the nose cone of the Prop? Lol
I had to go and look at it. I pulled up the original uncompressed video and it is one of two things or both. It looks like the paint has wore of from the friction of the air combined with the reflection of the sun. Good eye, thanks for watching.
I wanted to move there a few years back they were looking for newcomers. It sounded like something I would have enjoyed.
Fabulous....
Thanks for posting this. It was interesting and your pictures were absolutely beautiful. I love learning more about Pitcairn. Such an interesting place.
I am so glad you liked it. I was unsure how it would come out because I do not take a lot of video, I love still photography but the way it went together it almost felt the whole thing was a video to me.
thank you tony
Amazing
Very enjoyable; the sites and your filming were quite spectacular. I’m sure glad you were able to find your fallen drone. My only request of the video would be that you provide more details in your commentary. I was left wanting more information. Otherwise, well done!
Great video.....I was a British Merchant Seaman for 43 years and have witnessed that green flash when the sun
vanish's below the horizon hundreds of times all over the world, Am now 76 and retired and live in Thailand,
@vagrant wanderer I'm 69... be 70 this year, and lived in Chiang Mai for four months. Amazing city. Must be pretty dead now with the virus. Spent two months also in Siem Reap, Cambodia and a few days visiting temples in amazing Bangkok. I'll be coming back to that part of the world as soon as I have my virus vaccination shots. Wish to also see some of India and Sri Lanka. Still strong enough to carry my small carry on backpack. My friends in Siem Reap are waiting for me to come back. Had to have quadruple bypass surgery. But now healthy and a green light from my cardiaologist to travel wherever I like. My health insurance will now cover me out of country again also. The surgery was a great success. Wish to finish out my life over there... have a Buddhist funeral and cremation. I became Theravada Buddhist at a temple.
I can't afford $50 a night in Tahiti.... but I can easily afford to live in Thailand and Cambodia and Sri Lanka.
@@robertwilliamson6121 Wish you all the luck with your plans, Sri Lanka is a beautiful Island, India not so
nice because of the extreme poverty, sorry o hear of your big surgery hope you are well..regards
I've often wondered if MGM's Bounty II went to Pitcairn Island. According to the 1962 movies promotional material, HMS Bounty II DID go to both Tahiti AND Pitcairn!! I do remember a story of MGM's publicity dept planning to set fire to the Bounty II at Pitcairn Island in Bounty Bay, but Marlon Brando said he'd walk off the set if they did, so they didn't. A scene at (supposedly) Pitcairn in the movie looks to me like Bounty Bay. A shame that she ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic in a fools maneuver to sail around a hurricane.
Fantastic Just finished the second video from you . The first one was your drone film on this island. As a side effect now I am reading every thing about the Bounty . One interesting thing was about the “pandoras boxes”😀
The whole story of the Bounty and the people surrounding it is pretty amazing. I don't know much about TH-cam and how it works so my videos are scattered all over the place. If you search my name Tony Probst you will find more along with my Titanic collection. Glad you liked it, thank you.
Great video, I also watched 'take me to pitcairn' that you starred in
Did you see this video I made of the whales on Pitcairn. th-cam.com/video/Fee2i4Pfov4/w-d-xo.html
@@tonyprobst4266 wow, awesome!!
I fulfilled the dream of my life 10 years ago and visited Tahiti and the Society Islands. I hope to return again soon.
I want to go to Scotland Trinidad. I hear it is the bees knees.
Great video! You lucky bastard😇
That is a good one, I have not been called that yet. Thank you.
@@tonyprobst4266 It's so kind of you for not getting offended.
I appreciate it, sir.
@@prize5ighter Don't worry I have a sense of humor as well. YOU WERE BEING FUNNY WEREN'T YOU??? Just joking. Hope to meet you on Pitcairn one day.
@@tonyprobst4266 No, no, sir. I was serious (no pun-intended). A word like that coming from a random person, wouldn't that be kinda offending? 😅😂
Sure sir, would like to meet you either on Pitcairn or while travelling to Pitcairn. The island is beautiful in its own way but I'm afraid of deep waters. Wishing it could've accomodated an airport.
Nonetheless, sea travel and landing on Bounty Bay after a near 2 week travel from Mangareva would've been more fun, right?
Thanks, Tony, I felt like I was with you. Boy would I love to go someday. I wonder what the cost would be from NYC!? I also love the fact that no poisonous snakes or anything in Pitcairn!!!
Regardless of what one may think of Captain Bligh, he was an exemplary navigator who made a remarkable voyage of 3,618 nautical miles to Timor with his loyal men after being set adrift in the Bounty's launch by the mutineers. 😒
As a sailor he is my hero.
@@tonyprobst4266 👍 😉
Thanks Tony, very cool. I was wondering if the movie Bounty ship ever made it to Pitcairn?
I don't believe it did.
I never heard of the movie ship visiting Pitcairn. Pity, because it would have been an exciting, surreal, experience for the islanders.
I hope you take Yves some whisky when you go!
Hi Tony, I just stumbled across your last name. Not sure whether you know about the history of our surname but it originates from Austria. Precisely the city of Kufstein. Probst is not very common even here in Germany so nice to meet someone from further away. Best wishes, Dominik Probst
Hello Dominik,
My father is from Augsburg and as far as I know they were around that town since the 1800's. I have not met a Probst myself but hope to one day for fun.
How did you find me on TH-cam, were you looking up Pitcairn island? If you were here is a drone video I made on Pitcairn Island while diving on the HMS Bounty, you will also see what I look like. Tony th-cam.com/video/_x2d_sJUAic/w-d-xo.html
Hi Tony Really loved your video and the one of the drone too. I was wondering where do the islanders get their incomes from? They seem to be able to afford to travel which isn't cheap. Groceries can't be cheap there either yet they all seem to live in relative comfort. Have they got a hoard of pirate gold that we don't know about.?
No gold on Pitcairn, at least it has not been found yet. They have been self sufficient for over 100 years growing all their own fruits and vegetables, raising chickens etc and of course all the seafood you would want. When ships started to visit on a regular basis they would sell things they made on the island in return for money and food. They would save the money and buy things mainly from New Zealand like generators, then refrigerators, stoves, tools and so on. They do get deals on trips to New Zealand as well as the occasional free trip. Some go off on paid speaking engagements around the word. Thank you for watching.
Hi Tony. Thank you for your amazing videos. I’ve travelled in the world a little bit, all over North America, and two long term trips to Asia. But I travel and live cheaply because I am retired.
I’m curious..,, starting in a place like Toronto, Canada, what would a trip a trip to Pitcairn cost me? Not an exact figure of course.... that’s not possible. ....but a ball park estimate would be okay.
For a semi comfortable trip for you could be done for around $10,000 US. Less than $8000 would be near impossible unless you know somebody. The most costly part is the boat trip to Pitcairn and the stop over in Tahiti.
Did you see this video I made of the whales on Pitcairn. th-cam.com/video/Fee2i4Pfov4/w-d-xo.html

If your on a budget, look in the websites such as sailors looking for crew. You can with time find A sailboat with minimal costs...food, shared expenses...and someone may stop there on the way to tahiti, Fiji, ....good luck, nothing is impossible.😊😊
You're luck to retrieve your sim card after the crash..Do you take multiple drones with you? Very interesting to learn where the Breadfruit tree came from originally. I'm from Jamaica ;-)
Sadly I am retired living on a pension. I can't afford $50 a night in Tahiti. But thank you for a beautiful video of a place I will probably never see. For the price of three nights in Tahiti, I can live for a month in Cambodia.
I fly to Siem Reap, Cambodia..(where the Angkor Wat Archeological Park is only a few miles away in the jungle) and rent a nice apartment for $140.00 a month. Or Chiang Mai, Thailand and rent a nice apartment for $170.00 a month. I'll be flying back to Cambodia, and Thailand and Sri Lanka as soon as I get my Wuhan corona virus vaccine shots.
how do they find water in Tureia Atoll ?
The water on the Atolls and Pitcairn Island all come from the rain.
@@tonyprobst4266 thank you ... good clip enjoyed it very much .. 👍👍👍😁
How do they get electricity on Pitcarin Island? Do they use solar power on the island or what?
How much does it cost to go there and stay there? So many people want this as a bucket list so want to know costs
I have friends in Tahiti that I stay with on the way to Pitcairn so I am able to stay there without big hotel expenses. For me not including hotels in Tahiti it cost about $10,000 US each trip. I doubt it can be done for less than $8000 US. Not a cheap trip but the memories are priceless.
How much a trip like this will cost from New Orleans to Pitcairn island?
Realistically for the plane, boat, lodging and food you can do it for about $6-7000 US. 10K would be comfortable but it will be like no other experience.
@UCzcmiazmaz90EqCHN1P6Z3g amazing work. I am a big fan of yours. This is incredable work, I wish I could join you in this trip. Truely amazing work. I can't even imagine the quality of work & filming ofcourse plus so minutely details about the knitygrity things.Hats off Sir.
I find this quite flattering that people are enjoying my two videos. I shot the stills and video with no intention of doing anything with it just normal vacation shooting.
When I got back my family who lives in different parts of the world wanted to see what it looked like so I put the two videos together and this is what happened.
Have you seen the drone video of Pitcairn? It is about to turn 1 3/4 million views. Drones have no audio so every sound in this video I had to add. The most difficult was timing the waves breaking and boat engines. If you have not seen it you can find it here th-cam.com/video/_x2d_sJUAic/w-d-xo.html It is my very first narrated video. Enjoy
You should do the Outer Hebrides.
@Biggest Natural Muscle Does Arsène Wenger have a holiday home there.
What kind of drone?
The drone was a folding DJI Mavic Pro. I credit the nice color and lack of glare from the sea to a polarizing filter I used. Thank you for watching.
Nice movie Tony - Thanks!
However, here's a small astronomical comment - at 32:11 you show a shot of the seemingly full moon, and you refer to its nearby in the night sky light source as being Venus. Well, I'm confident that it could not be Venus because when one looks in the direction of the full/fullish sunlit face of the moon one must be looking more or less in the opposite direction to that of the Sun, ie one is looking to a section of the sky that is further away from the Sun than is the Earth.
Well, planet Venus is far closer to the Sun than planet Earth, thus that other light source can not be Venus, so it's EITHER some bright star OR just possibly a planet that is further from the sun than we are here on earth, eg Mars or Jupiter. You could establish which of those possibilities it actually was by looking up the date and approximate time of that photo and then setting a skyview app to that date, time and approximate location to identify that light source.
Thanks again, Ariel (Oxford, UK)
Amazing!
My wife is from Tahiti her last name was Touauthar
🙏😊👍👍👍👍✌️🌄☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌊🌊
Awesome, this is the 3rd times you visited that island right, Tony? your first trip was the best one? with the man with the kite
I have visited Pitcairn 5 times for a total of 45 days on the island. I agree, the first one was high in adventure, uncertainty and drama. I was once in a lifetime and could not be planned.
@@tonyprobst4266 OMG 5 times already? You will be owning that island someday. I enjoyed so much your first trip to Pitcairn island that time. The boat was almost torn apart, leaking everywhere, and also almost sinking during that little storm in the island. It was epic one
@@tonyprobst4266 why do you go to Pedophile Pitcairn so much?
@@andrewmartin7076 what a sad, pathetic troll you are. Your comments say more about you than anyone else
How could I be adopted from Northern Ireland and live here ❤️
OK.
It is Journey To Pitcairn. Here is Pitcairn Island th-cam.com/video/_x2d_sJUAic/w-d-xo.html
The area of One tree Hill looks to be an ancient ruins site? 8:56 that area looks man made and siege to., then nature filled it in
Aboriginals don't normally get up and leave/abandon their home.
One Tree Hill is also the name of a famous site in NZ, also taken by Arian's and covered up in history
Discovered an inhabitated island continuous inhabited for the past 1,300 years? I'm guessing the Tahitians didn't know where they were until the French told them do. Lol!
How on earth do the locals survive there? What's the basis of their economy? I can imagine that many things must be made locally, but there are clearly many imported goods, building materials, etc. How does this work?
First they were self sufficient for over a hundred years so they have everything they need to survive on their own. Today they sell curios and things they make to passing ships and of course there is the small amount of tourism. They use that money to purchase things from new Zealand or passing ships. Thanks for watching.
@@tonyprobst4266 it must be an extremely hard life. Is there any kind of support from a government? They are still uk, right?
Who said, there is no paradise on Earth!?!
Isn t Pitkcairn... Это видео не имеет отношения к Питкерну, и Адамстауну.... Последняя 1 мин не в счеи...
Exactly, It is called Journey to Pitcairn Island. I have other videos on Pitcairn if you would like to see them.
If I could visit anywhere in the World? Ha! I live here: in the foothills of the Massanutten Mountains, between the two Forks of the Shenandoah River, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia! But, the number of people and politics have made it impossible to live here. Even between a National Forest and National Park, in the black bear capital of Virginia, it's no longer a dream. Alas.
I didn’t know the French had atomic bombs! Leave it to them to try them out in Heaven. Leave it to the French!
Not for the common man.
They say the captain was a very mean, cruel, evil person. That is the reason they mutinyed. See people believe in the military that officers to like in society can do as they wish and shouldn't be punished. Can be mean an cruel and anything they say is right.
Captain Bligh was no more cruel than other captains at the time. it is said life was much more difficult on captain Cook's ship.
@@tonyprobst4266 Captain Cook never heard of him. Thank you now I have something new to look up and study. You can treat people bad for so long until you get yours.
Captain Cook maybe one of the most famous explorers of all time. Bligh was on his ship in Hawaii when Cook was killed. Bligh also in my opinion is one of the best navigators and sailors of all time.
