Island hopping in Polynesia was a dream-come-true for us. We had been planning it since 2021 , but the timing was never right for travelling two months on the high seas without Internet and phone . Now we were able to do it and it was sheer luxury! Polynesian Islands are known for beaches and popular destinations for snorkeling and watching marine life. We covered some parts of Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and French Polynesia as well as Cook Islands, Niue and Kiribati.

We had an opportunity to film this fantastic local music, drumming and dance performance in Honolulu, Hawaii on 2025-10-9. There are various dances and songs covering the Pacific Islands from Hawaii to Samoa all the way to New Zealand. We proudly present you the Drums of Polynesia. Enjoy!
Travel bloggers are selling dreams paid by various tourism bodies. Promoting luxury, fast travel, and the most faraway locations messes up local economies and generates more waste and pollution.
