About Me

Bora Bora Sunset View
Bora Bora Sunset View

Tahiti is a French Polynesia tropical paradise. The soft white sand beaches are pristine and the water is piercing blue. You are surrounded with overwater bungalows wherever you turn and just me when I say it's worth the splurge to experience these luxurious accommodations.

If you are a foodie the tropical cuisine is amazing. I couldn't get enough coconut rice and fish was simply AMAZING!  French Polynesia benefits from fantastic weather all year round. Farmers grow a wide variety of fruits, spices and vegetables that are fresh and tasty.

Make sure to immerse your self in the local culture. Attend a Luau, these Polynesian shows a very entertaining and do not disappoint. The Polynesian people are super friendly. You'll enjoy exploring the island and getting to know the locals.

There are options for every type of traveler in Tahiti.The islands are packed with adventurous options and there are plenty of places to read a book in bungalow. You may even see a celebrity when you are out and about.

A Few Must-dos:

  • Bora, Bora: Swim Black Tail Sharks & stay in a OVERWATER BUGALOW
  • Moorea: Take an excursion to the top of Mount Tohivea
  • Tahiti: Take a tour of the island

Let's start planning your Tahitian adventure!

Missy is a joy to work with
Reviewed By Cindy - Minnetonka MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Missy is one of the most passionate agents I know. She really truly cares
about her clients. I know this because I am one of her Whole Sale Business Development Managers. I have worked with Missy for many years. She puts her heart and soul into every booking to make sure she is giving the best advise for the best price to each and every client. When things go right she is so excited about the trips she has planned and takes delight in hearing her clients stories. The very few times things go wrong she is right there trying to get things fixed to the satisfaction of her clients. If my family or friends were looking for an agent Missy would be one that I would recommend. She is knowledgeable, she listens to what your needs and wants are, she makes suggestions based on her experiences and she does this all with a smile.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Magical Experience
Reviewed By Happy Campers - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Europe
Missy provided outstanding service in assisting us with our vacation planning. She was methodical and patient, working on general ideas first, then focusing on hotels, travel modes (trains, flights, etc.), and finally, specific activities which required advance reservations. She was able to offer alternative ideas through her vast experience of travel that were amazing additions to our trip. And by the time our planning was complete, she packaged everything in a neat, concise travel packet with everything documented in a day by day itinerary. And although we never needed to use them, we were given emergency contacts and numbers in the event of problems on our trip. Thank you Missy!!!

"I am so glad everything went well. England, France, Austria and Switzerland made for such a incredible first time trip to Europe. I am so glad you were able to spend quality time together as a family and enjoy the sites, sounds and smells of Europe! I look forward to helping with the next adventure."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
