Arriving in PARADISE After Sailing Across The Pacific #travel #marquesas #sailaroundtheworld
In this thrilling episode of Untide, we embark on an epic journey sailing across the Pacific Ocean for a breathtaking 23 days aboard our trusty 37 ft sailboat.
Sailing Across The Vast Pacific
With endless blue horizons stretching out before us, we faced both rough and serene seas as we navigated the powerful and unpredictable nature of the vast ocean. Each day brought a new perspective on our surroundings, from tumultuous waves to calm, peaceful waters.
The Unbelievable Arrival In The Marquesas
After 23 awe-inspiring days of empty blue oceans, we finally arrived in the Marquesas Islands – a dreamlike, otherworldly paradise. Towering pointy rock formations may have appeared slightly mysterious at first glance but as we stepped onto solid ground, it felt absolutely amazing to properly walk again after weeks on our sailboat.
Exploring The Untouched Beauty Of The Marquesas
Determined to immerse ourselves in the unparalleled natural beauty of these islands, we ventured deep into lush jungles and discovered an enchanting waterfall. It quickly became apparent that we had stumbled upon what truly is one of the most gorgeous places on Earth.
Welcomed By The Marquianians
The warmth and kindness of the friendly locals in the Marquesas were nothing short of remarkable. They generously shared with us delicious, fresh fruits from their vibrant gardens.
I couldn’t get enough of the pomul MSE, a delectable treat that tastes like an exquisite grapefruit – absolutely perfect after our extended time at sea!
Sailing To Nearby Islands And Discovering Marine Life
After spending a few magical days exploring this breathtaking paradise, we set sail to a neighboring island, eager to witness more of the stunning scenery and perhaps encounter some new marine life. Upon arrival, it seemed as though every possible color and creature emerged from beneath the crystal-clear turquoise waters – a truly mesmerizing sight to behold.
Sharks In The Ocean
At first, we found it slightly challenging and even nerve-wracking to grow accustomed to the sheer number of sharks that swam around our boat. Although they were initially quite daunting, our hosts reassured us that these magnificent creatures are friendly towards humans.
Sailing Adventure Comes Full Circle
Feeling humbled and incredibly fortunate to have navigated such a remote yet utterly pristine paradise, it hit us that we had truly sailed around the world from our home in the UK. This adventure became so much more than just a trip – it felt as though we had been granted an extraordinary opportunity to immerse ourselves fully in one of nature’s rarest and most spectacular jewels.
Call To Adventure
If this tale has ignited your sense of wanderlust and desire for a similar escapade, there are countless more hidden gems waiting to be discovered out there. Perhaps it’s time to set sail on your own voyage and explore the endless wonders that await you in the vast ocean.

Making landfall in the Marquesas after spending 23 days sailing across the Pacific was a surreal moment. The islands are beautiful, and I couldn't get over the dramatic landscapes and jagged volcanic peaks.
