I think Gandhi summed it up nicely when he said, “Everyone wants to be strong and self-sufficient, but few are willing to put in the work necessary to achieve worthy goals".
And occasionally, we meet some truly inspiring characters who have indeed achieved worthy goals.
The Sheen family on the remote island of Nomuka are now some of our faves. They are incredible sailors, explorers, nature lovers, and thankfully not camera shy.
More Sheen’s
You can learn more about Dave, Tris & Dior on their website www.whalediscoveries.com/our-... and get social with them on insta: / whale_discoveries
AND, Dior is a future award-winning chef!!! She has an Instagram page dedicated to her delectable, island-grown yummy bytes you will want to check out. That way you can say you discovered her in her early days before she became famous.

Inspiration & Help Needed
As if the Sheen family wasn't nice enough already, they have helped create the NICE Society (Nomuka Island Conservation Environment Society)
A community-run society created for the people and environment of Nomuka. They are undertaking huge projects to help tackle local issues like rubbish, animal welfare, and protecting the marine environment. You can learn more about the society and inquire about donating or volunteering on their Facebook page: /
The Comedic Extra's
They may ask for a retraction but I am gonna share Tom and Cyril's Instagram too. Because if you find yourself in Tonga anytime soon, you should bring them a bottle of rum in exchange for a few stories.

this could be an 1 hour long documentary, still, wouldn't be enough
EXACTLY!!!
This is one of the best, thanks. Mike
"I am left wanting"..... is that an old english saying??
I completely agree with this. I could’ve watched it for hours.
It like the fantasy island. I could live there forever.
One day I saw someone walking down the beach with only one shoe, so I asked, Oh did you loose your shoe, they said- No I found one.
Priceless!
True story...I lost one shoe last summer at the beach 🏖️ to my surprise the next day it returned.😂🤣👍🇭🇲
Shoe’rly a blessing.
Sounds like African pocket philosophy.
When people say “living the dream” this is what they mean.
Mmmmmmhm yup
True.... this is the best and beautiful life ever
eh this would get boring and repetitive pretty fast, desire and purpose would bring me closer to infrastructures/cities
yep and i cant help but notice it involves almost ZERO government..... hmmmm i can see an issue here
@@krisb-travelZERO evil could be a problem...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any happier horses! Lovely
Yeah, those horses when on the beach, you could see the thought bubbles above their heads: Best Humans EVER!!!
Horse paradise
Seriously
So this is what Paradise looks like. Beautiful!
Thats insane. will be surprised if they are not booked out for the next decade after this episode. Beautiful.
8 years, 2 months, 14 days and counting until I retire in a place like this. This is how life should be lived.
This is how we are SUPPOSED to live on this planet! Free, in nature and in balance.
I’m rethinking my life choices after watching this
I know that feel, mate...
You and me both!
Me too... with the world as it is now , the choices after Covid are endless ( life is what you make it ) it's not a dress rehearsal 👍🇭🇲 I think it's certainly a great time to revaluate life for a better way of living and appreciation. Stay safe and well everyone greetings from an Australian in the south of Italy 🇮🇹👍❤️ Wendy Ciao.
Reaching into the twilight of my life and realize I took a wrong turn somewhere and missed the opportunity of living in paradise
No sh*t!
I didn't want this to end! What a glorious spot with lovely people!
would love to spend a week (or month) there!
Omg! Bliss! Heaven on earth! Thank you!
This really was one of the best videos they have ever done.
Indeed.
I"m always amazed at how amazed people are when they see someone living off the grid. It just stupefies me how they don't realize humans did this for, insert how ever many thousands of years your belief system can handle here, before there was a grid. And that was with no technology.
EXACTLY thank you with the transhumanism going on people will envy the “real” life they gave away for industrialization trust me in time they will see. People use to live like this all the time.
Yes, I had similar upbringing, without the money to glamorize it.
What a tragedy to hear that the house, and everything else they built for so many years, is all gone after the eruption tsunami. Absolutely heartbraking. ❤
Really cool people, the daughter is a little cutie with lots of charisma!
@Peter Ponomarenko She noticed him too, it was mutual.
@Peter Ponomarenko Meah, I don't think so. She and Jason were just been polite to one and other as one would expect. Smiling and being polite doesn't have to always be considered flirting etc.
@@VanisleNSX umm if you were stuck in that island with your old parents anyone average would look like Johnn Depp
Glad to see Dior's video on her channel that the family is safe, but sad that they lost everything here on the island. Prayers for the Sheen's.
I loved watching the horse roll around on the beach like he has the best life.
Those horses on the beach are living the life, they remind me of the pigs living on a cay in the Bahamas
I watched this episode 3 times because it's so beautiful. A shame I can only like it once ! Who are the 55 that disliked it and what planet are they from ? Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
Ive been told it some weird youtube algorithm thing, if you watch carefully the first ones will turn up really quickly, even before anybodys had a chance to watch the whole vid. I too find it impossible to believe theres anybody so soul less that they could dislike this.
They’re all the jealous people
These guys are like a modern Swiss Family Robinson! This is something that I think I'd like to do one day.
This place is so magical and idyllic!!! The people and the animals all have it made! Never seen horses display joy in this way. I would too if I were them.
watching this video now is so bittersweet. I'm glad its preserved forever via this video, but so sad its no longer this way.
Will they rebuild do you think?
Seeing horses feeling so comfortable to just roll on the beach carelessly feels great.
The locals there make a good dish out of horses, sorry but I felt like saying that 😂
Tris and Dave are the most amazing couple you will ever meet. And beautiful Dior… a real life Moana, scaling trees in bare feet with a machete in her mouth! This albeit wonderful video doesn’t scratch the surface of what Dave has built there. Truly remarkable family not just talking about “eco” and conservation but demonstrating that you can go all-out like they have and still live with happiness, variety, vitality and style. Go there if you have the chance. Aside from The Barn, being guided by them swimming with Tonga’s whales is their thing… Tris and Dior are actually sea mammals; to witness them in the water with the wildlife around them is breathtaking :) And by the way, if all that weren’t enough, Dave is an ex champion windsurfer and exceptional waterman!
U mean a blond moana 😂🤙🏽
I REALLY enjoyed that glimpse into their life. A life well away from all the craziness and nothing short of paradise.
Well when you live on a remote island, you work with what you've got to make ends meet. And they are living a healthy lifestyle so good for them. Love that they have guava, guava is a staple of the Latino world. I use guava to make pastelitos (Cuban pastries) with cheese
And yes, you can eat turmeric leaves. Used a lot in Thai, Indian, and Malay cuisine
This is one of your BEST videos ever. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing. I watched it twice and both viewings were delightful. :) :)
This was absolutely Wow, from beginning to end! I agree Richard best videos ever!
Totally agree
One of those days that will be indelibly imprinted on your memory. Thanks for sharing.
Love that you ended up in my native Tonga so we can see all these beatiful places and people
The horses on the beach was just amazing.
Just woke up this morning in Kansas City and ran to the computer to open my RUclips to see your latest video. OMG!!! You guys complete me. LOL Can't help but love your life. As an older citizen of the world I love how easy off grid living looks. Healthy and happy people. B-52's call you happy shinny people. Thank you so much for sharing all your experiences with the rest of us. God Bless you please stay safe.
I could spend the rest of my life there!!! Stunning!
Pure PARADISE ... HUMBLE PEOPLE , SUPREME LIVING .... BLISS
Well, that was probably the nicest video I've seen in the last few months / years.
You're absolutely right! This family looks like they're the happiest people on earth and I love it! 🙌 😍

Little bad news about the family and there home: ruclips.net/video/HEcTawuuoNk/видео.html
Seeing the horses roll in the sand, priceless no one in the world could copy seeing horses eating coconuts who knew horses liked coconuts they do know. What an amazing journey you've had! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Life beyond the American dream, using their brains and skills to live a happy, natural life! Amazing video! What an inviting place.
It's the horses rolling in the sand for me... So bliss
I just thought of this video when I saw news of the eruption in Tonga, hoping they are all safe.
For some preppers this is a perfect haven with all the natural ingredients of life sustenance. May this be an inspiration for those who wish to leave large cities and move out, this is cool for a safe place to live in and have peace of mind. May God bless you all.
Couldn't get enough of this one! Didn't want it to stop! I need an Island in my life, time to sell up and go. One of the best yet, thanks. :)
So heartbreaking that it is all gone…but such is the impermanence of life. They are a resilient and inspiring family
Watching the horses in the ocean and then coming out and rolling around was the best thing I have seen in ages!! Thank you for sharing :)
Love that you coped some sassy Aussie humour on how to pronounce basil and tomato. Btw It's chips and chips. Hot chips or packet chips if you want to get picky lol
And flip flops are thongs if you’re Australian
@@stephengloor8451 Yep. Thongs go on your feet. A g-string go's on your bum
This is my favorite film you've made so far. Thank you.
THIS, has to be my favorite episode of yours to date. Simply 23.21 minutes of enjoyment. Thank you SO much.
Those are the happiest horses ive ever seen
This looks like 😇 heaven and those horses and the healthiest and happiest horses, I have ever seen!!
Every vid from the Wynns just makes me wanna get a bigger sailboat and just sail into the sunset!
The level of happiness in every vid is amazing!
Bless you guys for making my Sundays happier!
I guess i have never seen horses so happy on the beach n in the sea. 😀. Love this beautiful Island. Best life
RUclips needs the have the option to LOVE a video. Seriously the best video I've ever seen. This is real life, I could cry!
Guys this was amazing. What an opportunity. I feel like I visited with you. Thank you 🙏
I didn’t want this video to end 😩 love that they’re living off the land. Simple lifestyle yet so rich. Malo ‘aupito for sharing!
The best Wynns video I’ve seen yet.....these people have it ALL figured out.
The horses were actually rolling in the hot sand to get rid of ticks.Very incredible.
Damn, they sure do everything right on this isle. I enjoy the ponies, these are the happiest I’ve seen. Spectacular. Thx Wynns you’ve done it again!!
Best episode ever. Spectacular! It is humbling to see how little one needs to sustain a healthy lifestyle and how wasteful most modern life is. Add a little micro brewery and life is great. Thank you for this video window into how others live off the grid. My next step is to donate to your channel. Bloody well done!
The horse moment was so majestic and touching.
This video still gives me hope for humanity.
I love this so much!! These horses had me cracking up when they got outta the water an dropped on the sand for a toss about!! Made my night!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
I kinda like that the house looks like it was put together with whatever was lying around and to them it's just normal.
Imagine what shipping lumber costs🤣
Howdy from Houston. You guys surely paid your dues to earn this time in paradise. The horses rolling on the beach was hilarious. Your vids continue to improve. Keep up the great work.
THIS is living the dream!
Those opening shots 😍 Namuka looks absolutely stunning!!
What a paradise! I love that they upcycle everything. My dream live, climate and house. Well done Wynn's. Thanks
Wow....what a magical place. Seing those horses role in the sand put a smile on my face.
Loved watching the horses enjoy their roll in the sand at the beach! AWESOME!
So beautiful! And such a different lifestyle, it’s hard to imagine, even though I just saw it
Oh, my gosh riding horse bare-back into the water, I LOVE that. I wish I could do it.
I just did this in Bradenton florida. Amazing.
this is the future of humanity (HOPEFULLY)
Amazing example of self sufficiency, how to live your life in your own terms as well, of course in a beautiful beautiful place, truly amazing !
And all the food they can grow out there, jesus, it is paradise
I’m going to be so sad when you guys leave Tonga & the Tonga vlogs end. Such a beautiful Island
15:58 Missed opportunity for Jason to ask "Why the long face Nikki?"
😝🐴
🤣🤣🤣💜💜
Horse walks into a bar.......
I wish we all could be as happy as those horses. Mandala and this place look like two great places to be for a visit or an extended quarantine. Thanks for giving places like this exposure.
Great Video as always! Loved the horses on the Beach! The laughter at the dinner table.........Priceless!
Gives me hope when i see Aussie ingenuity.
I'm sure I've said this before but, you meet the most amazing people. Thanks so much for sharing their stories!
What a life! Those healthy looking horses look gorgeous!
This is why I love Tonga so much. I actually met Dior at whale guide school and she told me about her family’s amazing sustainable homestead. My good friend in Hawaii sent me this link without knowing Dior was a friend of mine
What a simple life - but it looks like paradise!! Being an Aussie myself, i can relate to this family!!
Me too 😊 gratitude.
Longtime follower of your journeys, this has to be one of your best videos to date!
In a place like that you REALLY need to take good care of the things you have.
one word to discribe this place.paradise
16:08 you understand why the man is so docile and quiet? the wife is a master axewoman
So glad for a new video!
The world would be a better place if more people chose to live like this!
Stay longer and film more please. We are living vicariously through you two.
That foot pump is genius!
What an interesting and sweet family living an amazing life if that beautiful place. While stranded due to the pandemic you have introduced us to so many amazing people and places. Thank you.
Ahhh no masons Illuminati zionists nazis human experiments or religious nut cases. That is true life enjoy. God bless 😇
@@jayt7227 ...It may not be, anymore, if they keep allowing people to film it/them. Drones will find them, in the end, anyway; & a wonderful lifestyle will be over.
Seeing horses roll on a beach just made my day! What an incredible place this family get to call home 🌴 🏚 🌴 So much variety in the garden- looks delish!
This is gold! I don't think I've ever shared a youtube video so many times. Just want to send it to everyone.
Love this channel ❤️❤️
Once again, you have amazed me! Stunning!
Love it ..im from an island myself..dominican.people are very humble .and happy ..
Add this place to the bucket list! Awesome!
been waiting on a good vid, wow killer place and seems like wonderful people Peace from Terlingua Texas
This was amazing. I wish it was longer
I save water (as the foot pump) by using a touch on and off faucet in my motor home. Nice job as always.
spectacular way of life and a spectacular family
Oh my god what a fun video!! I love the horses! What a cool place. I could definitely live there too Jason. Thanks for the update!
This episode really raised my spirits. ❤ This is a life well lived. Theirs and yours!
Absolutely wonderful,those horses are the happiest horse's I've ever seen all seemed to want to get in on the camera
I think that happiness is making your dreams come true; and you have done just that. Greetings from Colombia.
