YOU NEED TO SAIL HERE! Trust me [Ep184 RED SEAS]
Discovering Tongareva (Penrhyn Atoll in the Cook Islands) 🇨🇰
Only a few days left to WIN A BOAT - our friends are giving away their 50' Beneteau in the Caribbean to fund their new project, restoring a hurricane damaged catamaran. If you haven't yet entered, find out more details here: www.spearitanimals.com/giveaway?ref=5529
In this video, join us on our most remote and unforgettable adventure yet as we detour 1500 miles to reach Tongareva in the northern Cook Islands — a place so pristine, so untouched, it’s never been seen on YouTube… until now.
In this episode:
• 🛶 We’re welcomed by the incredibly generous locals who share their traditions and lifestyle.
• 🐟 Explore a community pond full of milkfish and learn how nature and tradition intertwine.
• 🐢 Go turtle-spotting in crystal-clear lagoons and explore untouched islands.
• 🥥 Discover how coconuts are harvested, prepared, and even transformed into sweet, marshmallow-like snacks.
• 🌊 Dive and fish the reef like locals — including a nighttime catch of over 350 fish that will feed families and be flown to Rarotonga.
We also gain rare access to a sailors’ guestbook dating back to 1987 — preserving our visit as part of the living history of this incredible place.
👉 If you’ve ever dreamt of sailing to the edge of the map, this is the story you don’t want to miss.
