Kauai Travel Agent Expert

Nestled in the Pacific Ocean, Kauai is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands and often referred to as the "Garden Isle" due to its lush landscapes, tropical rainforests, and dramatic cliffs. 


From the moment we stepped off the plane, Kauai embraced us all. My husband and I had been dreaming of taking our family on this trip for years, and now we were finally here, on the Garden Isle, ready to explore!


After settling into the Marriott in Poipu, our first excursion was the breathtaking Waimea Canyon. As we hiked along the rim, the view of Waimea Canyon is an unforgettable experience, offering a glimpse into one of Kauai's most stunning natural wonders, known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". As we hike down to one of the gorgeous waterfalls, the views of the canyon revealed themselves, providing ample opportunities for breathtaking photos. 


One of our other excursions, we took a snorkeling boat tour along the Na Pali Coast. Towering sea cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and emerald green valleys greeted us at every turn. The sheer cliffs and hidden beaches left us all in awe. The kids loved when dolphins swam alongside our boat, and we even spotted several sea turtle while snorkeling. The beauty of the coastline from the water was unlike anything we had ever seen. 


Another highlight was Hanalei, we explored the charming town, visited local shops, and the kids loved the Hawaiian shave ice. We ended the day with a family surf lesson at Hanalei Bay. Even though we were all beginners, the instructors were patient, and by the end, the kids were riding the waves. 


We were all struck by the warmth and hospitality of the locals. From the friendly staff at my hotel to the tour guides, everyone made me feel welcome and at home. As our time in Kauai came to an end, we boarded our flight home with hearts full of aloha and a promise to return to this paradise someday.

Fantastic trip to Kauai
Trust me, Diane knows her stuff on Kauai! She provided my family and I with a wealth of information about the island, including the best times to visit, must-see attractions, and hidden gems that only a seasoned traveler would know.
Our accommodations were outstanding. The amenities were top-notch. Diane also arranged a few excursions that truly made our trip unforgettable. We did a helicopter tour over the Na Pali Coast (highly recommend!) and a kayaking trip down the Wailua River, each activity was seamlessly organized and exceeded my expectations.
Thank you, Diane, for an unforgettable trip! We will be back as soon as we replenish the vacation fund!!

Wonderful world of Disney
Has anyone ever attempted to plan their own trip to Disney? Well, at the very least it can be like a full time job. Luckily a friend referred me to Diane and right off the bat she made it a breeze. From finding the perfect hotel (Floridian) to insider tips on avoiding lines and snagging the best spots for parades, everything was spot on. The kids had a blast, and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Her attention to detail made all the difference. Thanks for making our Disney dreams come true! Diane, your expertise turned what could have been a planning nightmare into a dream vacation. Can’t wait to book our next adventure with you!

Alaskan
We recently returned from an unforgettable Royal Caribbean cruise to Alaska and we wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to Diane for organizing such a wonderful trip.
The ship was stunning (ovation of the seas) so many amenities and activities to enjoy. We particularly enjoyed the north star observation capsule, which offered breathtaking views. Your knowledge about the ship, itinerary, and excursions, was exceptional, and we felt well prepared and excited for our trip. Your recommendations for cabin selection and dining options were spot on, and we appreciated all the responses to our questions and concerns.
The shore excursions you helped us select were highlights of our trip. The whale watch in Juneau was our fav! Second place were the glaciers in Skagway.
The combination of Royal Caribbean’s top notch service and your meticulous planning made for such an enjoyable vacation. We felt well taken care of from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent!
