Very interesting to see this video.Many will recall the terrible Falklands war.Looks like a nice place to visit and very serene.That Totem pole is brilliant.!.Cheers from Cairns Australia.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed. They are very beautiful islands, let's hope they stay as peaceful as they are now 🙏
We booked this ship from Reykjavik to New York on 7/27-8/8. Nice memories.
It's a great ship, hope you enjoyed your cruise! ☺️ Thanks for watching.👍🏼
Welcome to 🇰🇷
Thank you!🫰🏼
Very interesting! I would be hesitant to visit but after watching this video I must add it to the bucket list. I'll definitely be recommending this channel to my friends who like to travel👍🏻 Thank you both!
Thanks for watching! 😉 With North Korea becoming more hostile, wonder how much longer they'll be able to keep running these tours.... so we'd recommend to go soon! Choose a clear day though so you can actually see North Korea 👀😂
In wich date you went there ?
Hi, we were there in January last year.😊
@@thelifeofreillytravels hi. Great. Thank you for answer. It will be intersting to know how it looks in winter.
You're welcome!😊 The cruises only go during December/January/February, which is summer in Antarctica, as in their winter, there is too much sea ice for ships to safely sail there.
Great video but absolutely awful choice of backing track
Thanks for watching. Sorry you didn't like our music choice - I guess you can't please everyone when it comes to musical tastes!😂
My daughter had to stop swimming competitively due to chronic ear infections… she even opted out of swimming in college for this reason. The physiology never matured as usually expected post childhood :(
So sorry to hear that 😢 It's ashame when illness stops you doing something you love. Recently watched "Young Woman and the Sea" about Trude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English channel (and she bet the men's record!) but she'd had measles in childhood which affected her ears, she was told she shouldn't swim but did it anyway.🏊🏼♂️ She eventually went deaf by her early 40s, but became a swimming instructor for deaf children. Inspirational woman 😊 Hope your daughter is doing well now.🙏 Thanks for watching!
@@thelifeofreillytravels she is. She and my son return often to our special island, Nevis to St. Kitts and compete in the interisland swims almost annually. They came in 3rd, 4th two years ago.
@@docimmathat's great! Congrats to them both!👏🏼👏🏼
@@thelifeofreillytravels thank you😊
@@thelifeofreillytravels interestingly! my daughter is now majoring in audiology♥️/speech language pathology.
I’m going to Antarctica at the end of the year! I’m hecking nervous (mostly about Drake’s Passage), but this video made me feel loads better! Thank you!!
glad you could make it over to our island and hopefully it was enjoyable. blessings on your next adventure!
Thank you very much! We loved our time there!❤
Thanks for sharing this video. I truly enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
Hey, Phil's gangnam dance was way better than yours, sorry Shaz, 😂😢😊 Really enjoyed this video, SK must have been nice to visit xx
How dare you!!😱😱 This kind of trolling is unacceptable! 😭😜 Thanks for watching though!😂 Yeah Seoul is a really cool city.😎xx
Nice
Thanks
Cool
A little bit about the local culture: if you yell in the cave, you will disrespect the ancestors, the people from the past who died there, and they will make you sick local superstitions. That cave used to be one of the best treks until they installed the walkway. It used to be a hike into the jungle from the roadway to the cave with no barriers.
Thanks for the extra information about the cave. Guess it would've been a fun hike and cool to explore a bit further into the cave, guess they put the walkway & barriers there for health & safety?🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for watching 😊
Nice video, I lived in Saipan 20 years ago. Good memories.
Thanks for watching! It's a lovely place to live, even for a short time.😊
🤙
Hydrogen Peroxide heals ear infections naturally. Just lay on the side and pour some in the eat, wait 5 min and apply till it goes away.
Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼

You are from Europe and don’t drink Nescafé. Wth?
Yeah, we're not fans of Nescafe. Phil drinks his coffee black & I add almond milk. ☕️🥛 Thanks for watching 😊
@@thelifeofreillytravels I understand. I like it for traveling but am fine either way. I’m thinking about expatting, it’s between Belize and Saipan. Which would you pick as an American. .
@thereissomecoolstuff we've been to Belize too about 10 years ago. I think if you're an American citizen, it'd be easier to move to Saipan, as you wouldn't need a visa. Also, it feels more Americanised in Saipan, you've got supermarkets like Joeten which sell lots of American products, and restaurants like McDonald's, hotel chains like Hyatt. There was nothing like that in Belize. So if you like familiarity & a bit of home comforts, Saipan would be better.👍🏼
@@thelifeofreillytravels thanks. Appreciate it very much.
@@thereissomecoolstuff you're welcome!😁
This comment is not meant to be unkind, but part of me is thinking that if Phil was on his own he would be having half a bottle from that distillery and a packet of crisps !!!
You're spot on, that'd probably be Phil's daily diet if he were a single man!😂🥃
@@thelifeofreillytravels good job he isn't single then! Enjoyed your video, many thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😊
You may like the infinity pool hike too. It’s a wild hike but the tide pool is beautiful. It’s amazing you adventured out to forbidden island. Great job! Enjoy our beautiful island!
Aw thanks for your suggestion and thanks for sharing your beautiful island.😍
This video was terrible
Thanks for your feedback.
Kagman!! My hometown… man I miss the beach, glad u guys enjoying it there… one thing, go to the festivals n try out the food, the best around
Oh wow, you're from Kagman? It's a great beach, must've been fun having it on your doorstep growing up! Thanks for the suggestion! They do know how to BBQ!😋
Nice, Yall went to the peace park. I used to run there all the time. Great place to relax as the sun sets
Yeah, it's nice there. Good for running. We went back up for sunset, since we missed it that day, you'll see in the next video 😂
Welcome to Saipan. This is a beautiful island. I hope you guys will enjoy. I’m from the Philippines and staying here for almost 30 years.👍👌🙏
Thanks very much! Yes it is beautiful! 😍

Hafa adai! Thanks for watching 😊
I like this documentary style of video. Very interesting 🤔
Thanks for saying, glad you enjoyed it.😊
Came to see the drake passage. Instantlyleft because theres no drake oassage footage
Thanks for commenting, it supports our channel. Wondering though, if you left instantly, how did you know there was no Drake Passage footage?🤔
@@thelifeofreillytravels looked through the preview, and there was like 10 seconds....misleading if you ask me
@JordanMottram the entire video was filmed in the Drake Passage....not sure how you can call that misleading, but then you didn't even watch it so you wouldn't know.
@@thelifeofreillytravels I didnt watch it because its just you working out and basically doing a boat tour, I mean its like me labellin a video "Space, whats it like?" and just showing the spaceship with 3 seconds outside the window, but I get it, couple content creators will do anything for views right?
@JordanMottram would you have preferred 6 minutes of just water? I think a video about space that showed just black emptiness would be pretty boring. Astronauts work out too. I'd wanna see what they're doing in the spaceship 😂
Not really that scary on a 13000 gross tonne 9 deck vessel. Try doing it on a 50 foot yacht.!!!
Lol, if you know anyone with a 50ft yacht who'd invite us onboard to try it, we'd be up for that! And btw, the Norwegian Star is actually a 90,000 gross tonne, 15 deck vessel.
@@thelifeofreillytravels 😀
это паук или что 😮?
can you turn music down while speaking please
Thanks for your feedback. Started using a new feature in our editing software which automatically ducks the music when there's dialogue, but it probably needs a bit of manual tweaking! 😉
Nice🙏🏽🙏🏽 great video. This is Sam btw lol
Hey Sam, great to hear from you!😁 Thanks for watching our video!🥰 You still in Guam? Text us & catch us up on life!😉
I lived few years on Guam it’s a beautiful island but my experience with the people wasn’t great . I noticed they are extremely jealous people and if you are successful they love to ruin it for you while smiling at your face
Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. Surely not all the people are the same though.
Wonderful video ! Excited for your journey - love the rainbow
Thanks very much for watching!😁
Do protective ear plugs work when swimming? I bought some years ago but never used them. I think they were made of wax. Hope you are better soon.
Yes, they do! I actually got some ear plugs made of wax and now I always use them for swimming.👍🏼 Thanks for watching 😊
Wow. Hoped you enjoyed your stay. It’s always exciting to see people enjoy our island.
We did! Only problem was it was too short! 🥲 Hope we can stay longer next time! 😉 Thanks for watching 😊
Funny part about the Korean "landlord" is that only people of Northern Mariana Island descent can own land in the CNMI. Ethnic Koreans can't own land, they can only do 55 year leases. It's the only place on US soil where Chinese citizens can visit without a visa. There used to be a 45-day visa-free entry for Chinese citizens, so at one point more babies were born to Chinese mothers than to Saipan locals. The largest casino fine ever issued in the US was issued in the CNMI. A shadowy Chinese billionaire family was actually running yachts filled with cash from Saipan to the Philippines less than 10 years ago. It's a crazy place with lots of boom and bust history.
Ah, interesting about land ownership. Maybe should've said "Our Korean host" then... Yeah we did visit the unfinished casino & heard a bit about the story of what happened. Saipan does have a fascinating and turbulent history for such a tiny place! Thanks for watching 😁
The Chinese do pregnancy tours to Guam to have their babies, then fly back and now, they have an “American” baby.
It's a land lease. Chamorro leased the land to the Korean for up to 40 years. Korean runs B and B, see?
Joeten Superstore is one of the most expensive places to grocery shop. You should check out the local farmers market every Saturday from 6am-noon across Kristo Rai church. You’ll find a better selection of local fresh produce.
Im thinking of moving to Saipan, i live in Florida and i want to know if its as lonely and boring as it looks? Recently i been calling saipan a big graveyard 🪦 seems like everything there revolves around death? Im not sure how you ended up there? I heard theres no money circulating because the forieners that live there are working and sending the money back to where they came from so theres a big hole in the economy...canyou give someFeed back pls?
It does feel quite isolated, being such a small, remote island. It's a much slower, more relaxed pace of life. There is a lot of morbid history on the island, which we'll go into more in a future video, but there's a lot of life too, feels very international with many nationalities and cultures - many Filipinos, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, people from other Micronesian islands, lots from mainland US, and even a few Europeans! We did see a lot of abandoned or unfinished buildings, like hotels and malls, which is ashame, the economy hasn't really recovered from the super typhoon quickly followed by the COVID pandemic and could do with a fresh injection of tourism. We loved the people, so friendly and helpful. Not sure if we could live there permanently, as we love travelling and visiting new places so much, but it was definitely an enriching experience to spend a month there and we'd consider going back for a longer period.😊
I’m really glad you asked that question because to me the whole appeal of a place like Saipan is the calmness I am looking to get away from it all ! It seems like if you just couldn’t get along without night life and glamour you could just zip over to Asia and party like a Rock Star
Economy-wise, I’d say you’re right about people sending money out, but we’re mostly struggling due to poor decisions by certain officials and the lack of tourism. Tourism is supposed to be our main source of income, but it still hasn’t picked up since COVID. It’s a pretty okay place for a vacay - our beach sunsets are beautiful, even as a local I’ll never get tired of them. But if you’re okay with a small hiding hole of an island with slow/chill vibes, lack of a flashy nightlife (I think our only “real club” just closed again recently), lack of big industries (no malls - DFS is aimed specifically for tourists interested in brand items), unpredictable power or water outages (they’re working on it and water tanks are a blessing) speed limits between 15mph to 45mph (but really, what is a speed limit on an empty strip of road?), and the occasional typhoon (we literally have a season dedicated to them, sorry to say), it’s not TOO bad living here. Of course, I can say that since I’ve been living here all my life and have learned to deal with all that. 😂 I actually had some relatives who lived in Florida for a long while and later moved here for a short time to run away from the raising prices during COVID, but they were originally from another Micronesian island so they adapted back to the island life well. My younger cousins did say it was boring here though, so they ended up being the life of the party wherever we went. 🤣 Also, may I ask what exactly you’ve heard that made it seem everything here revolves around death? I’m curious as to whether you were referring to the economy or certain beliefs we have.
If you like simple living, Saipan is for you. We’re not a graveyard community. Almost no crime community. 50k population. Florida-like weather. No pollution, no traffic. Living here for 30 years and no complaints and I’m from the Philippines. Life is good here. And we have no snakes here😂
Glad you enjoy living there so much and have been able to stay 30 years - you must feel very settled ❤
Medical at twelve times the price - welcome to the US. (Actually, $300 for an office visit and prescription was a deal.). Then you get sedentary. Next you'll have whiney, entitled men walking around with guns. Philippines beats Saipan and Guam.
😂
Great video - hope you enjoyed your time here!
We loved it! Hope we can come back for longer next time! 😁 Thanks for watching 😊
@@thelifeofreillytravels Great! Hopefully sometime soon.
Great video! How much does a place like that cost for the month? Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for watching and your kind comment. It cost us $1700 US for the month, found thru Booking.com - Karis Pool Villas.😊
Did you experience Drake Lake or Shake?
I think it's pretty clear from the video that we got Drake Lake! 😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@thelifeofreillytravels Wow the way you reply sounds really rude. Maybe you didn't record the Shake part, which is why I asked. You also mention that you experienced the Drake Shake coming back
Didn't mean to sound rude, didn't fully understand your question. We did experience Drake Shake on the way back north, we show a bit of that on our Antarctica- Elephant Island video, but this southward crossing was all plain sailing!😅
@@thelifeofreillytravels Its fine. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!
Pretty boring....
It might've been more interesting if we'd had a very rough crossing. 😂 Thanks for watching 😜
@@thelifeofreillytravels Definitely not. I rather yo uguys be safe.
Thanks for this relaxed and informative video. Now, i must go and see the falkland island because of you…. looks like very peaceful place to visit. all heads on deck…
Thanks for watching! Hope you do get to visit the Falklands sometime... such a beautiful place! Try to stay longer than one day, if you can!😁
