Exploring Hiva Oa - French Polynesia (DJs Dives)

- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- This week we get a chance to explore the Marquesas Island called Hiva Oa. Most of the locals on the island speak French so it's pretty easy for us Canadians to get by. We don't have a lot of time to spend here as we need to keep on going to American Samoa where we will do our next big provisioning run on our way across the Pacific Ocean. We try and squeeze everything into one day and film as much of the island as possible. There are some amazing tiki sculptures which end up taking up quite a bit of our time as we want to be able to see every one of them. We even get a chance to fly the drone later for some spectacular scenery. Before the day ends we hop in the shower just like the locals and finally get a freshwater rinse after all of that time at sea!

Very nice and helpful. The drone video needs improvement, but this is the first one I see from Hiva Oa, so kudos to you, and good luck with the next drones - I love drone videos! I am looking for a chance to visit Hiva Oa, the island with my name! I do not have a boat and am not much familiar with its maintenance, but I am wondering why people clean up the outside lower part of the boat and do you wax it afterward, maybe you can shed some light on that :). Also, it would be interesting to hear your description of the taste of local food and fruits - if you try them.
Seeing these mountains make their own weather/clouds is amazing.
It was a beautiful sight!
Great video,it’s truly beautiful ,many thanks I sailed in the South Pacific. I love the South Pacific,because incredible beautiful and so friendly.
Everyone was so nice.. Sights were amazing, wish we could have spent more time there.
I am sure that shower felt great. Looks like paradise to me.
Oh ya, even next to trash it was amazing!!
Hi Dale and Justin thanks for the update and sharing this video 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Denis Glad you enjoyed it. Hope the weather is nice enough for you to take out the camper van!
Loved the flower trail and all the tikis!
So did we! It was a nice change from Canada!
Beautiful place, simply beautiful.
It was amazing, go if you ever have the chance!
Looks like a fun place
Yeah if you ever have the chance I highly recommend it!
Fine opening on this video. Love the staircase story too.
So happy you liked it.
Beautiful place
Way more beautiful than Edmonton!
It would have been nice to hear a bit of commentary about the great French post-impressionist, Paul Gaugin. It was likewise, the island where he died.
I'm not sure why it is so satisfying to watch boats being cleaned below the water line. Anyway get those extra fishing hooks ready small boats just might be coming up to say hello, but this is whay they will trade for. : ) peace old clothes to
Great video you two, great to active and adventurous. Edmonton forecast today -7, feels like spring, then back to -30. Like to throw the weather forecast at ya, just so you know what your missing
Just flew back to Canada today for a few days and I'm already done.... I'm so cold - Dale
Very interesting about the museum there. Too bad that it is so expensive. I am always amazed at how so many of the roads are paved with concrete! Must have been done many years back and they look to be in good condition. Don't mind me, I worked in the asphalt paving industry for over 40 years and I have a habit of looking down at the surface a lot! Too bad you didn't get picked up and given rides. Made for some long walks to get to town but having yummy foods there as a reward made it worth the effort. The drone shots were good but quite dark. Safe journeys kids.
Thanks Edward, we also were quite disappointed with the drone shots but unfortunately we only had one day to fly it up, so the shots we got were what we were left with. One of the days Captain Kevin got offered a ride but other than that we just walked. Couldn't imagine paving in that heat.... thank goodness you weren't there in the summer working, you would melt!!!
you sure are in fine company with many nice ocean going boats all around you ..
Kind of hard to make bad friends when you're in such good company.
how was the Surf??
I would love to hear about Kevin’s life and background. Really enjoy your videos.
Captain Kevin is super cool, if you wanna see a small intro check him out here: ruclips.net/video/QhoAANuJFfU/видео.html
I'm not sure what camera you are using,but the color coming thru is fantastic.
We are using a GoPro6 Hero.... nothing special!
I love Hiva Oa and didn't think that your video really did it justice ... there are far better videos about this great place.
We did our best with what we had and the conditions we were in. It was an amazing island I would recommend to anyone to visit we loved it there.
Is that a black sand beach at the end?
It could be we didn't ask, but it very well might be.
You guys must be close to Barry he there somewhere I here
We wish!!! We are behind time in our videos.
Just remember on most of the islands around the world sell out of goods by 10am and take afternoons off and many many holidays, so get up early if your low on food. ; ) peace
Thanks so much for the advice, we appreciate it :)
@@DaleOnolack I'm full of nonsense nobody needs. lol : 0 peace
If you pick any flowers for your hair make sure you rinse or shake out the ants and bugs. : ) peace
Now that's some good advice!
@@DaleOnolack I only know this because well ouch and ouch. lol : ) peace
I find it interesting the museum won't allow photos or video, perhaps they are afraid people won't visit, or it's some traditional belief in offending Gods. which doesn't make much sense since I don't think they had cameras back then. The way I see it's just missed publicity for their museum. By the way your audio on my end anyway needs a little improving, it sounds distant and the background music is barely audible. (Which sometimes is a good thing. Most background music is usually way to loud). Cheers Guys!
We didn't get it either but we wanted to respect them. Sorry we got a new microphone and we thought it would improve our videos but sometimes it doesn't work. Our background music does suck but we don't have copyrights to good music LOL
I don't know how hot it is there but it can't be as hot as you are!!
It was so hot the butter melted!!!
Great for saving the turtle today but Ok why would they throw that net and the prices back in the ocean!!!!??? 😳😳🤦🏼♀️. Take it and throw it away!
Where’s the common sense sheesh.
Hey guys when you buy stuff from artists......don't take the plastic bags ;) the world doesn't need more plastic bags.....
Hey lee good idea just make sure you practise what you preach
I do
We try and bring our own bags as much as possible but sometimes we forget....
