When I think of Heaven on Earth, I think of the Maldives. When I want a slice of Heaven, I watch your videos. Thank you for uploading some of the most incredible videos over the years. I truly appreciate your channel and world travels!
it's simply amazing to me how this country even exists. It's literally built on small pieces of rock sticking out of the ocean (I almost cannot call them proper islands). And yet, they have roads, airports etc. And it looks heavenly. Thanks for this beautiful trip-report and it's nice to see you have all of your family with you :)
What a spectacular video! Especially the last ~4 minutes where you over-fly your resort showing-off the beautiful over-water villas each with their own swimming pool and water slides - and no doubt other mind-boggling amenities inside - and - of course - gorgeous turquoise water and white sand beaches forever. This looks like it could be the most exclusive and elusive luxury resort in the world! What else compares with this? Great views along the way from inside the Twin-Otter. Interesting to see it had a full-glass cockpit - don't think I have seen that before. As a Canadian it makes me proud to see this iconic Canadian aircraft operating in one of the most exclusive and elusive places on earth.
4:27 "Best fan ever"... Made me a fan of Manta Air right away! I wish this kind of harmless, down-to-earth practicality still existed in more of the world!!
Such a beautiful, beautiful place.... I know that I would never be able to afford to visit these islands but I am in awe of their beauty. Good luck to all those who get to visit and hope you enjoy every moment
If you truly want to go, Dream BIG! Write it down, everything about it that you would want to experience. The power of the spoken word is true! Have faith, belief and trust that "it will be so". Start by listening to people like Neville Goddard. The power of manifestation is real. You will manifest things incrementally so that it will reinforce in you, that you are a powerful being who creates your own future. Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny. And I agree with you, so thankful for this opportunity that technology (via video) allows us to share in this absolutely and amazingly beautiful experience. I utilize these videos to build my manifestation of where I will be travelling to next. I wish to see you standing on the platform, when we arrive for departure! Cheers!
I have flown in seaplanes from NYC out to Montauk -- just me and the pilot. That made me a bit nervous as no one else was with me if something happened to the pilot! Won't do that again! And seaplanes in other parts of the world. It is an amazing way to fly, so grateful for all of my opportunities and aware that most people won't have such experiences. ✨✨👍👍✨✨👍👍
That's smooth flying over Maldives indeed! Closest to an AVATAR's Planet Tour on Earth! We're in Good Hands with these Han Solo & Chewbacca as our Navigators! Thank You So Much for sharing!
Aahhhh!! This takes me back! My wife and I went to the Maldives on our honeymoon in 2000. We landed in Mahle and flew to Thudufushi, one of the atolls. I will never forget the experience for as long as I live. The aircraft were smaller and I remember they were orange but no idea what they were- twin engine gas turbines but that's about it. The crew banked the aircraft over as we watched a pod of dolphins darting in and out of the surf. Absolutely amazing! If you haven't done this and are thinking of it PLEASE go for it. You'll be glad you did. ❤️
when i worked for one of our local aircraft maintainance companies, i spent some time looking after a local twin otter that would ferry tourists to one of our local islands. LOVE the sound of those twin P&W PT6A turbines running up and humming along in the air. Great to see they also have a full glass cockpit now too...great aircraft and well suited to this role
In March 2018 I spent 2 wonderful weeks at Filitheyo resort in the Faafu atoll. Flew from Male by seaplane just like you did and had the same spectacular view over the ocean. "Over water villa" and direct access to snorkeling from the house. Swimming among colorful fish and sometimes a small shark or a manta. Unforgettable. Very friendly staff and delicious food from all over the world. Can't wait to come back...
the most fabulous place in the world i have been there 3 times i did cry when i had to leave if you can ?please go there this is what heaven must be like
Love the sound of a Twin Otter. Though I've flown hundreds of flights on them; I've only a handful on Otters so beautifully appointed and landed in in less than a dozen flights.
Das sind richtige Maledivenpiloten: Barfuß! So war es schon immer. Ich durfte dort insgesamt 5 Wochen urlauben. Es gibt für mich keinen schöneren Urlaub. Jetzt habe ich wieder Fernweh bekommen. 👍
We stayed at Lux North in Aug 2021... Can't wait to we go back... Have not rode in a seaplane yet... Regular boat going, very bumpy...wife got a little sick... Luxury Boat coming back- that was an outstanding ride...barely felt any bumps... Overall, my best trip thus far...
This makes me feel like a kid again. When I was 4 years old I used to watch travel ads on TV showing Indonesia or some other tropical places with beautiful beaches, since we were poor and living in iraq we would never get to see those places. After moving out, and growing wealthier I can afford to travel but just not luxuriously so this took me back to those days I would dream of seeing a white sand beach on an atoll. When you want something out of your reach, it tastes better.
Thank you for the video, that was amazing to see, the islands, lagoons are majestic. I have never been in sea plane, nor snorkeling, diving, but I did used to be a skydiver, so seen plenty of great views from altitude, and jumped out of some different planes, one time it was my life. Thank you very much for the video, I love your channel and will always support it. Have a good day you and your family, take care. Jamie
Ohh yes ive grown on board aseaplane once ... oooohhh My lord the experience was amazing ... We flew At 16,480 feet ... On our way to an island in the Caribbean ... sea ... It was truly a once in a life time experience ...
Great video, beautiful cinematography and wonderful music! I love how you tell a story with no talking/minimal words. Very fitting to see this as I've started doing some research into a trip to the Maldives. Appreciate your sharing your adventures.....😃😃😃
Spectacular video and views. My wife and I are heading to the Maldives (St. Regis) in October with a planned sea plane ride, seeing this makes me even more excited. And as a pilot, I loved the "jump seat" view from the cockpit. Awesome stuff.
I am so looking forward to the new Soneva Jani 4k video - I've watched your older video so many times and I'm sure this will make it look even more beautiful!
We flew the ATR from Male to Dhalu Atoll just a month ago. Manta has impeccable service and the kids were given little toy mantas as a gift on the flight. We watched the floatplanes land and depart from our overwater villa each day. 😊
Great video (as always). Flying on the Twin-Otter seaplanes in the Maldives never gets boring. I still find take-off and landing so special even after doing it many times. I also find it nice that you actually gave the flight itself its own video. Looking forward to your video from Soneja Jani.
Another stunning offering from the Luxury Expert. It is content like this, tastefully presented, informative and thoroughly entertaining, that takes us to places most of us can only dream of visiting. This channel is outstanding and deserves its almost 1 million subscribers, a number it will surely reach before the year is out. Thank you for taking us on your trips and showing us the world's most beautiful and serene places. Makes me want to put Maldives on my bucket list!
My experience was nothing short of devine, a smooth take off accompanied by a bottle of 2018 sauvignon blanc is sure to highten anyones experience. Having flown aboard numerous seaplanes I always look for that wow factor, something different, something that sets it apart from the others. For anyone travelling in or near North Queensland I reccomend Palm Bay escape scenic seaplane tours as they tailor make experiences and catter for any personal needs you may require.
Stunning!!! Digging memories out! Yes, I was on a seaplane (Maldivian airways tho) in 2002. I felt claustro-phobiac once in, being the cabin very small. At a certain point, the fire alarm went on red but... our flip-flop-shod captain magnificently solved the problem by heavily bumping on the button. Lil scary but.... unforgettable!! The panorama was something mystic!!! Thank you for sharing
I’ve been on the same plane ✈️ in Maldives, I want thank my lord Jesus for this trip !!
I didn't realise he was a travel agent too!
@@sim2502 well he is the one who created those beach’s and he can take me anywhere he wants without being travel agent !!!! That’s my king Jesus 🔥
No such thing as gods . Delusional
this Twin Otter Served 1978-2000 as a smuggling Surveillance Aircraft for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police under the reg C-GMPX
Amen †

I lived in the virgin islands for 2.5 years. . .flew a twin otter from st thomas to st croix. . .love it!
It's lump in the throat stuff, makes you realise how utterly beautiful our planet is - bravo!

Yeaa i was about comment that
This is the most beautiful plane I've ever seen.
Such a beautiful, beautiful place.... I know that I would never be able to afford to visit these islands but I am in awe of their beauty. Good luck to all those who get to visit and hope you enjoy every moment
I pray that you could afford one day and fulfill your dreams. Stay blessed.

Would love to see luxury travel expert visit Iceland.
Who are you?

This just reminds me of one place in the world I’ve never been but I need to visit.

At one particular moment, tears came to my eyes, so wonderful!
Just woke up now sipping my coffee while watching this video. Perfect start to my day! Love the music!

The background music made all the difference in this video! It makes a vacation to the Maldives seem very majestic!
Encore ce Masque qui vient tout gacher ! Monde de FOUS ! je met quand même un pouce en l'air .
Even tho I'm from Maldives 🇲🇻 I got more information from this, thank you. Your filming is amazing. Enjoy have a blessed life.
SPECTACULAR!! THE EAGLE EYE VIEW IS MOST INVITING!! WHEN I SAW THAT CRYSTAL BLUE WATER I WANTED TO START SINGING THAT MOANA SONG! 😃😀😃
Thank you for taking us along for the ride, I needed some sunshine and blue waters today. Mahalo!

I have flown several times on a seaplane! always to go to the Maldives and I must say that the experience is always wonderful! U-N-I-Q-U-E EMOTIONS!!
I’ve watched practically all of your videos. I love them. But those of the Maldives are my favourites. Can’t wait for the next one!
OMG I have been to the Soneva Jani twice and it is my second favourite resort!! I love this place!!

Greetings from Maldives. The sunny side of life :)
OMG ! I can't wait for next week's video on Soneva Jani. It's going to be epic
Wow,....spectacular indeed......such beautiful views on air, sea and everywhere around. This is paradise on earth.
This made me literally cry, what a stunning place, unbelievable ❤
Why cry?
the most fabulous place in the world i have been there 3 times i did cry when i had to leave if you can ?please go there this is what heaven must be like
Amazing views! Still on my bucketlist: Have a vacation at the Maldives....
Me, too.
my bucket list is bursting with destinations, but the Maldives will definitely fit in
You got to do it but pick your month when it's not monsoon season or a new moon.
@@ronnieroo3391 ?? Every month has a new moon ??
What a beautiful video, amazing ocean colors, what a beauty...
Spectacular to see this, but is extra spectacular when you see this in real life, I’m not gonna lie.
Yes, back in 2000. Had a couple of Aussie pilots. So beautiful seeing the atols from above.
I am speechless. and the video was superb. I could imagine all the things around me as the things which showed in the video..:😍
This is soooooo relaxing from start to end wow I cant wait to be there!
Love the sound of a Twin Otter. Though I've flown hundreds of flights on them; I've only a handful on Otters so beautifully appointed and landed in in less than a dozen flights.
Love the Twin Otter - excellent STOL aircraft to fly.
Oh WOW. Just WOW ! True Paradise on Earth.
Das sind richtige Maledivenpiloten: Barfuß! So war es schon immer. Ich durfte dort insgesamt 5 Wochen urlauben. Es gibt für mich keinen schöneren Urlaub. Jetzt habe ich wieder Fernweh bekommen. 👍
I absolutely loved this. Enjoyed every bit of the video. It must have been a great experience out there.
Used to fly to Catalina from time to time back in the 1960's in the venerable Grumman Goose seaplanes when I was a kid. Amazing life experience.
Wow! We seriously can't wait to travel to the Maldives! So many luxury properties to review! Its almost worth it for the seaplane experience alone!
your videos are like a therapy for my soul! thank you so much for sharing with us every detail and information , salutations from Algeria
Each time you arrive at Jani or Fushi the filming and music seems like you are arriving at your favorite second home 🙂
We stayed at Lux North in Aug 2021... Can't wait to we go back... Have not rode in a seaplane yet... Regular boat going, very bumpy...wife got a little sick... Luxury Boat coming back- that was an outstanding ride...barely felt any bumps... Overall, my best trip thus far...
Hoping this means we are getting a new Maldives resort tour. Maldives and Seychelles was the reason I got in to this channel in the first place.
I'm always mesmerized by that water💙💙💙 Thank you so much!
I'm so excited with the new Maldives series, yuhu!! 😍 I see, kids have grow up.. 😉
Such luxury I have never had, such beauty I have never seen, so be it.
Awesome video, thoroughly enjoyed this .... Thanks for sharing.
Nice trip with the family...!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thrilling, yet softly beautiful at the same time. Great views from the seaplane. (Very cool plane, by the way!)
really beautiful, I was surprised to see the pilot not wearing shoes while flying.
Yes scenic flight from Lake Taupo in New Zealand. Good experience
This makes me feel like a kid again.
When I was 4 years old I used to watch travel ads on TV showing Indonesia or some other tropical places with beautiful beaches, since we were poor and living in iraq we would never get to see those places.
After moving out, and growing wealthier I can afford to travel but just not luxuriously so this took me back to those days I would dream of seeing a white sand beach on an atoll.
When you want something out of your reach, it tastes better.
beautiful world ..... MY FIRST COMMENT HERE
Beautiful view if islands from the air. It was a smooth takeoff and landing but the weather was quite calm.
Simply spectacular 😫😫 I wanna jump into the screen and experience this 🙀🙀
Wow. . . The kids have grown up so fast !
Still loving your vids. . Please keep them coming 🥰
Wow awesome video :what a place just like heaven on earth۔ thanks from India🇮🇳
I'm adding this experience to my bucket list!
Absolutely beautiful.. I love being able to travel with you virtually
this place is one of my dream spots to go to..so so gorgeous and beautiful.
I've always wanted to be a seaplane. They are the coolest. They bridge two fundamental spheres of the world; air and water.
Terrific video! This is on my bucket list. The views are stunning, even the music made me feel quite emotional.
Thank you for the video, that was amazing to see, the islands, lagoons are majestic.

Gives me good memories when I flew on a Twin Otter seaplane from St. Thomas to St. Croix in the USVI. A unique experience!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Ohh yes ive grown on board aseaplane once ... oooohhh My lord the experience was amazing ... We flew At 16,480 feet ... On our way to an island in the Caribbean ... sea ... It was truly a once in a life time experience ...
Great video. We flew Kenmore Air around Seattle while there waiting for our cruise to depart. Great fun!
Have been on sea planes many times when I lived in the USVI.used to commute between the Islands St Thomas and St Croix.
That was absolutely beautiful. The Maldives is huge!! But talk about beautiful wow. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thank you for the beautiful experience, I have traveled the globe and missed the location, soon to be corrected!
I’ve flown as passenger on a Dornier Seastar and must say landing and taking of from water is something spectacular.
Simply BREATHTAKING!
The Twin Otter: Canada's most excellent gift to the aviation world!
What a beautiful video. Let's reach the million of subs, you absolutely deserved!!
What an absolutely amazing video! Thank you so much!
Superb video. Well chosen ,beautiful background music. Great tastes.
Great video, beautiful cinematography and wonderful music! I love how you tell a story with no talking/minimal words. Very fitting to see this as I've started doing some research into a trip to the Maldives. Appreciate your sharing your adventures.....😃😃😃

I am not heading to Maldives .... whoever is your wife ???
Congratulations

Hey hey yes I have when I was younger very nice experience I did it in Hawaii as a birthday gift absolutely wonderful when I turned 10 regards john
I am so looking forward to the new Soneva Jani 4k video - I've watched your older video so many times and I'm sure this will make it look even more beautiful!

10 years ago on a 172S Skyhawk, simply amazing. Was a flight over Miami, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne 😍 Great experience and great pilot too!
This video has been shot so beautifully! 👏🏽
Really has!

Landing? In the water? Shouldn't that be called 'watering'?
