** TONGA VOLCANIC ERUPTION*
I can see a number of you coming here due to the recent volcanic eruptions a few days ago. We are still waiting on contact from Tonga but in the meantime have set up a Gofundme if you would like to help out. Funds will help smaller grass-root projects get back up and running:

I moved from Tonga to Australia in 2005, 2020 I moved from Australia to United States and after watching this video I want to move back to Tonga! 😂 I remember growing up in Tonga we didn't have money but we didn't need it. We would go fishing and catch other things in the sea to eat. We would go hunting for meat and also grew our own vegetables. Now that I am old enough I learnt that living in the islands is much cheaper, stress free than living in country like Australia, America, New Zealand, England, Canada etc. Tonga and many other islands may not have materialistic things that these other countries have but they have all they need.
100%! After living in Samoa for a year and then Tonga we noticed the exact same thing. Less is more, the simple life is far less stressful and we found ourselves much happier because of it. Sorry for the late reply!
From Argentina, we salute you! Tonga is amazing! Wonderful place for living!
Juan Pelotas thanks so much!
Love the Kingdom so much♥️can't wait to return to the motherland next year🙏🏽 MATE MA'A TONGA🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
Awesome place isn't it!
ahahah I was born in tonga and moved to Australia at 10 years old and it is amazing my pop built a farm house in 1940 and I'm missing home:(
england is my city I bet not you look like your from America according to
your profile pic
I moved from Tonga to Australia when I was 10 as well. We go to Tonga every December-January but I still miss it

There are a majority of islanders from former colonies that left their responsibilities at home to be luckseekers in AU And NZ, I have been informed
my mom is from tonga and i really want to visit so bad 😩
Go everyone is so friendly there.. So inviting an beautiful😍
Wow. You are half tongan? You must be hot. My dad is from there lol.
I'm full Tongan so.....😂😂 Yeah
Malo e lelei 🧡

Hello there
Where's your mom from? I'm half too. I look more palangi though but my mom remarried to Tongan so we were raised Tongan. I love going to Tongatapu because no one expects me to speak Tongan fluently. My son is blonde and he speaks Tongan too. We love going to Kolonga and cry when we leave in true Tongan fashion.
This is Awesome 👏, thank you for highlighting the beauty of our little island. I'm excited to follow your journey! Mālō 'aupito!
tutifrutz malo 'aupito 'aupito, stoked we've done it justice and look forward to hearing your feedback on our future episodes 🤗
Thank you for this beautiful video. Made me miss Tonga! ❤
You're welcome, so glad you liked it! Tonga is an amazing place
Love it. "lets go to the market (grabs speargun)"
😂
A very big Malo 'aupito to the couple who showed the world our beautiful island.
God bless you, friends.
Thanks so much Luisa, I hope we did your beautiful island justice 👌
So crazy. I’m full tongan and have been brought up in Sydney, with my grandpa passing a few years back I now own land in tongatapu because the tradition of the land being passed down to the son(s) and as of late I’ve been really thinking about building something and living there!!!
Sorry for your loss! Would be a awesome to own land there, it would be a great life.
After hearing about the Tonga Tsunami - My hubby and I thought of you guys. Hope you're both safe on Australian Shore. Also very sad and hope our families are safe at home in Tonga.
Thank you for the thought, we are safe and sound in Sydney atm but sending our love and good vibes to everyone in Tonga. Cannot begin to imagine what they’re going through right now. Hope you’re family is safe and you hear from them soon 🤞🤞
Thank you so much. Take care ❤
Beautiful Island friendly people, thank you for sharing 💖

It does not take six months for a coconut to fully mature it takes years to grow like that.

Far out, your vids have come a long way since the days of the extreme spearfishing forums! This is unreal stuff and an amazing life you guys are living. Glad to see that cuttlefish still has its place at the start of the videos
Hahaha thanks so much mate! Yeah it's a bit different to the old "Sunday Sessions"! Stoked to know you've been watching from the start! Learning every day so stay tuned! Funny about the cuttlefish, we were thinking of changing just last night to a jellyfish but I couldn't do it, been there since the beginning!

I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and it's very hard to get off this island. It's very expensive but I want to escape this island one day and move to Tonga.

Just found your channel. Really like it. TFS. I especially liked the cooking technique demonstrated. Very cool.
Thanks mate glad you like it! How did you come across us btw? Whole fried fish has got to be my favourite!
You came up under "Reccommended" today. Hardly any scuba diving, spearfishing and/or sailing creators out there.
Awesome, good to hear! We were hoping the diving/spearfishing would seperate us from the crowd a bit, once we get our own yacht it gonna be full time! Thanks for watching stay tuned!
Interesting. Same here! I am in the process of purging all my dirt dwelling crap and will be buying a sailboat this summer/fall to start a circumnavigation. I will be fishing, scuba diving, spearfishing as well as participating in a number of citizen science data collection projects. All in the name of creating great TH-cam content. Maybe we can do a collaboration of some kind.
Hahaha in the same process of de-crapping! Definitely could do a collab at some stage! Hopefully see you on the water cheers!
Si quality content 👍
Thank you!
I hope everyone is safe and okay.beautiful island.
Thanks Robert, we’re back in Sydney and have now confirmed our friends over there are safe and sound with a big clean up ahead. Ofa atu to our island family 💔
love the video
William Lusaipau thanks William!
It's in my DNA!
I cannot wait to move here! I'm so excited!!
Swnsasy _ you should be it's amazing!
Underwater Ally Productions Are you from there or live/been? I hope we can. I'm just really starting my research on how to become a resident or what it takes. I get so excited every time I see a video, see the people.. And the best part, I read their laws and was BLOWN AWAY!! As a, monarchy it seems they actually care for the people!
Hi Swnsasy, we are Australian but lived here in Tonga for a total of months while on a volunteer assignment. I would highly recommend traveling here before becoming a citizen. Get to know the place if you know what I mean. Best of luck!
This is so beautyfull 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!! 😊
Wow so fresh fish.nice background music. Hey I'll tell u something.it is much easier for you to climb that coconut tree if you make a step on the its trunk.by chopping a little bit just enough for your feet to fit in.but this is usually done when the tree is still young.
Thanks for watching! Cheers for the tip!
when yous get to pangaimotu is. resort tell the bar tender , Jeremy says hi from NZ and wait for their reactions haha
P.s get ANDREW to give yous a special tour of the island, dont miss out the cross, shipwreck, vanila plantation and the coconut graveyard LOL arohanui whanau Tonga x
Ahh wish we knew! Our next episode is at Pangaimotu! Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out!
Fab video - was just reading about Tonga for an anthropology course! Can I ask what camera you use?
Thanks for watching Ellie, we use a mix. Above water = Canon 5DMiii, Underwater = GoPro 4. I think... most has been upgraded now so going from memory of what I use to have.
cool looking place just watched a video of parolees getting dumped in tonga look's like a nice place!! good and bad every where cool video
It is an awesome place, just watched that vice video also, we met the first guy in the video he worked at a burger shop in town. Definitely good and bad everywhere, cheers for watching
best place ever!...and anyone who streams alot of shows and movies knows why... .to is island kingdom of Tonga
I love this video!!! Thank you :) By the way where is that reef? My favourite reef in Tonga used to be in the ocean in front of dateline hotel but that reef has unfortunately gone barren.
Visiting home in June and would love to get some good snorkelling done!
Thanks for watching glad you liked it! Reef is just out the front of little Italy on Vuna road. Have a good trip!
Oh perfect! Very close to where we'll be staying :) Thank you! And continue enjoying my beloved Tonga
Tonga is the best place I ever seen
It is definitely up there!
New suscriber! Love this vid and definitely makes me miss my homeland, can't wait to watch more. Any major struggles for you guys first moving to Tonga?
Thanks so much! No major struggles for us as we'd already lived in Samoa for a year. Love the pace there!
Spiders/Snakes.... I think i will rock with my minecraft tropicraft for now LOL
Hahahaha
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks!
the #1 advice for men thinking about moving to tonga or samoa - bring a beautiful woman with you
Racist statement, so I guess there's no beautiful women in Tonga or Samoa, you guys make me laugh
Was cracking when you began to demonstrate how to harvest coconuts. Deadpan delivery.
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready ready ready
😂
Lol good tune but I couldn't find it on TH-cam freakin hell
I love Tonga
So do we!
Nice one guys (((:
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
My Dad is Tongan. We are thinking of going to Tonga soon! Even though, I will be out of place since I'm white and live in Australia.
You’ll have a ball there don’t worry about what you look like!
Underwater Ally Adventures Phew.
Tongans loves white skin people. O remember when I was little and we had a white lady came over and I was so in awe with her skin and blonde hair as I never seen a white person 😂
Hey guys! Are the wet suits camouflage from sharks? Love the channel. First look. From Dunedin Florida.
Amazing Tapu (island) for sure, beautiful. 😎
goldrush16 It is a special place, fingers crossed for them with the imminent hurricane.
Good on you two, living the life.
All the best the "Blacks"

I grew up in Tonga swimming in gum tree size tsunamis.. uhhh good times
wow! the water is like fine whiskey,man.you must be having a nice time there. i live and spearfish in Sri Lanka and to have clear,fine water like yours is a fortune here. Didn't you shoot any big ones yet?
Yeah the water here is magical. Ohh we got some big ones don't worry, they're coming in a later episode! Thanks for watching!
Yum!
ISLAND TATT00 it was cheers!
Is it Tonga time? I think it's Tonga time.
Sure is!
go TONGA
I lived in Honiara for a year so I've seen those beautiful crystal clear beaches on the deepest ocean. I took a swim by the beach never been so frightened in my life when suddenly the floor dropped.. I was being pushed out to sea by a current but God brought me back. Never again
Currents can be pretty serious in places, glad you made it back safely!
@@sailingpopao keep safe and enjoy....
I se you were living my dream
Cheers! Was great over there!
NıcƏ
what camera do you use mate?
FYI foreigners can only lease real estate no freehold. Leasing works, if you don't mind that. 😊
*When a white man is more Tongan than you are* nah but all jokes aside i'm so proud to be from the kingdom of Tonga god has blessed my home country so much and the people in it. #MMT OWAA!!
Hahaha it is a great Country! Thanks for watching!
I'm being serious, the so-called white man have went to that Island, and brought over different religion, GMO Foods, now there's the Chinese they're taking over now, these Tongan people they have a lot to fight for now.
@@anthonybryant yah i heard, and the Tongans that were in gangs in Australia America and New Zealand have been deported back to Tonga and turning Tonga into a land of drugs it's so sad to see my island and people have to go through this
@@iffystill5554 I hear you the problems for Tonga started long ago, when the white man came with all his different religions, to confuse the people oh, and also to separate the Tongan people with denominations, they know that the Polynesians and the micronesian Are one of the 12 tribes of Israel, white people are also a problem to the Polynesian and micronesian people as well, Tongan people will make it, just got to come together as one.
@@anthonybryant i agree i just hope god helps us along the way
Wow what a beautiful Island what is the living expenses there ?
Is it Tonga time? I think its Tonga Time.
There's no way a coconut tree can get that tall in six months dude🤫🤫I,m from the Caribbean so I know, cute wife though and the place looks great.✌️✌️✌️

Thanks for watching!
