BANNED From a Tribal Village in the Remote Pacific | S7:E5 | Sailing Ripple Effect

Yes, if you can believe it, in this week’s episode we get banned from a tribal village in the remote Pacific. The Soloman Islands are a cluster of remote islands in the South Pacific that are home to hundreds of small tribes, communities, and villages. Our plan was to sail the boat from Lata to LomLom in the Solomon Islands and try to make contact with the villagers that occupy the extremely remote islands of LomLom. We were hoping to explore the pristine reefs and try to acquaint ourselves with the village people. What we didn’t know, was that we needed to get permission from the chief before we could enter the waters and begin snorkeling/scuba diving. Before we knew it, we were brought a note explaining that we were banned from the waters and that we would need to speak with the chief. Determined to make amends with the chief, we ventured to the village and tried our best to redeem ourselves. Watch Season 6:
