Maui, Hawaii The Valley Isle Travel Agent

Maui
Maui " The Valley Isle"

With over 30 years of Maui exploration, I'm your go-to travel agent for the Valley Isle! From 1992 to my most recent trip in September 2023, I've immersed myself in Maui's beauty. I've swum alongside majestic sea turtles, snorkeled among vibrant coral and tropical fish, capturing the island's underwater wonders. Sailing into the crimson embrace of a Maui sunset aboard a catamaran is pure magic, an experience I highly recommend. I've savored the rich cultural tapestry of Maui through various luaus, where hula dancers and traditional music transport you to paradise. The road to Hana, with its hairpin turns and breathtaking vistas, is a must-do adventure, and I've navigated it multiple times, each journey revealing new hidden gems. Accommodation-wise, I've experienced the cozy charm of small boutique hotels, immersing myself in Maui's local culture, as well as indulged in the opulence of lavish resorts, pampering myself with luxurious amenities and stunning ocean views. When it comes to dining, Maui offers a spectrum of flavors. I've delighted in exquisite meals at fine-dining restaurants, savoring the fusion of Hawaiian and international cuisine. Yet, I've also relished the simple pleasures of stopping at roadside stands for fresh coconut water and homemade banana bread, a taste of local authenticity. Cafes dot the island, offering aromatic blends of Hawaiian coffee, perfect for a leisurely morning. But my all-time favorite Maui indulgence? Coconut macadamia pancakes that melt in your mouth! Let my extensive knowledge and passion for Maui create your dream island getaway. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I'm here to tailor your Maui experience. Don't just dream of Maui—let's turn those dreams into unforgettable memories! #MauiTravelPro #IslandAdventures

The Best Travel Agent EVER!
Dawn is one of the most knowledgable, personable, seasoned and detail oriented travel agent I've had the pleasure to work with. She has handled both my national and international travel for years, both personally and professionally. I've become so spoiled by her knowledge and experience, I find it very hard to book anything without her help! She is fantastic, dependable, and so nice to work with. Five stars! Won't find anyone better.
