We experience the extremes in Sumbawa, Indonesia. From swimming with the WORLDS LARGEST SHARK to competing in the BUFFALO RACING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Extreme sports are alive and well in Sumbawa, water buffalo racing is all the rage and we turned up to the world championships, believe it or not, they even let us have a go! As an extreme contrast we also took the opportunity to get into the water and swim with the world’s largest shark, the whale shark.
We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfill our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat.

One of your best, thank you! Fantastic! Dee and Deb
Catching up…
How old are you sister
Fanbludytastic!!
😀 You have reached National Geographic quality, more please!!!!!!!!! love the slow pan shots.
Some people, i included, would pay good money to participate in that race, seem so fun
There is such a wealth of recorded folk and popular music availabe in Indonesia for use in traveelogues. It wold really add a lot to these videos.. Someone needs to greate some examples and show officials at the top level of government that this is fvery expensive for the producers, so fee advertising, so royalities should be waived and no permits required..
The snake is very similar to the Taiwan Bamboo snake, which is a viper and very poisonous.
What soundtrack was used when swimming with the shark?
BEST YET! Buffalo Races, Rocking Spider Boats, Whale Sharks, water falls, Stunning! True Adventure, always say yes!
Great video! It takes a lot of courage to do what you guys did. And the whale shark was awesome. The Indonesian fisherman seem so friendly. It was cool to see inside their boat. nice one.
dude did she go first. no freaking way
awesomeness
Yeeeehar!
The English bull racers! 💪🤠
I couldn´t believe, there is someone even more crazy than me! 😂😂😂
But I love it! Well done fellows! 😎👍
I hadn't seen the water buffalo racing until now. IDK if you drank any of their milk, but it's 8% butterfat! I was interested that you had the chance to swim with the whale sharks so casually – in Mexico, the government is very protective, and limits how many ppl, how much time, etc. Of course, instead of that swim, I got to tour a Mexican Hospital for a week. Not a fun story.
We are all enthusiastic supporters and admirers of your multiple skills………
BTW, how long can you stay under water snorkeling? Thanks………… Cheers from Chiang Mai. jerry
Incredible!! nothing more to say.
Now that’s what I call an infinity pool👍
Tree snake
The guy who invented the aqualung
As a kid and older I was an avid watcher of the undersea world of Jeaquess Cousteau on board the calypso absolutely loved it
our guide announced the shark is under the boat, so of course, we all drove over the side……………………………….White people
Careful you dont catch anything in the water and watch out for parasitic worms in the sandy beaches
Drag Race??
To film and share could be ok. But take part of such a thing is using animal cruelty to increase likes in your channel.. Good channel though, but I am unsibscribing now.
Absolute quality! :¬) Webhead USA
Hi Matt and Amy, I have been following your blogs for awhile and they are fantastic, all the more so because I did a similar route on a S&S She 36 nearly thirty years ago, and our Aries was also our best friend…are you going to Chagos?
Animal cruelty. Someone should beat the riders with a stick.
This intro has Matt and Florence but no Amy!
By far the best channel of YT. So intelligent, so full of adventure. Thank You!!!
We are really enjoying your channel. Your videos are well put together and very entertaining. We sailed the Indo Rally as crew in 2011 and following your progress has us keen to go back on our boat 10 years later in 2021.
You are volunteer to cruel treatmen of animals!I hope same day you exchange places.
The best video every 😆😊
Thanks your travels are fantastic thanks
You are such a lovely couple and your videos so nice and smooth. Always fun to view the next one. But the footage with the whaleshark is stunning!l wow! Thanx a lot!!!
Brilliant episode. Well done you two!
So the aim is to beat the shit out of the buffalos with a stick so you can make them shit scared enough to run toward a haunted stick they are supposed to be shit scared of. Great logic.
Having lived in Kenya for many years, the snake appears to be some sort of mamba. The green mamba is a brighter green but the shape of the head appears to be very similar along with the long body shape. The green mamba is very poisonous! Love your videos on YouTube!
Fascinating 🙂
Looks like you had a real hoot there guys. That buffalo racing looked pretty wild!
"If given the opportuniy would you run barefoot through polluted shit mud right behind huge animals who are pissing and shitting." Umm, thanks I'll pass.
Such a great video ,, Thank you so much ,.. from Aus… I'm very happy to be a patreon !!
Ahhh legends! Awesome work guys 👌🏻
Really high quality work guys. Thanks for sharing and the boldly go attitude.
Your video quality does not reflect the amount of likes. Keep up the fantastic work and they will come. ❤️❤️
