Perfect and made planning SO easy!
Reviewed By Diane - North palm Beach, Florida | Traveled to Sedona ~ Arizona ~ USA
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Seadog. I planned a week trip that included flights, cars, hotels and experiences and it was such positive experience. Paul is amazing and so knowledgeable, warm and professional. Last minute we were thrown a curve when a hurricane approached our departure and we had to consider all of our angles. Seadog was with us throughout it all staying positive and giving useful and consistent advice as we considered what to do. Bravo Seadog! You have new clients for life💓
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing human
Reviewed By Dora - Saint Lucia | Traveled to Caribbean



I cannot recommend Paul highly enough! Over the past two years, he has been an invaluable partner in helping me secure clients and plan unforgettable trips to Saint Lucia. His attention to detail, local expertise, and genuine passion for what he does truly set him apart. Paul is always one step ahead, making sure every aspect of the trip is seamless and personalized to perfection.

What truly stands out about Paul is his commitment to excellence and his warm, approachable nature. He is an exceptional human being who goes above and beyond, ensuring that everything runs smoothly, from start to finish. You simply cannot go wrong with him!

If you’re planning any trips, Paul is the person you need on your side. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such an important task. Highly recommended!

Making memories and living dreams.
Reviewed By SarahNo - Tucson, AZ | Traveled to Washington D.C. ~ District of Columbia ~ USA
Paul did an amazing job listening to my wants and needs for my recent trip to Washington DC. Additional provisions did have to be made for me due to health issues and Paul listened, navigated and provided the support required. This extended from airport assistance to an itinerary that included everything that I wanted to do. This really enraptured the best of DC! Loved working with Paul and will be doing so again in the future!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cruising on Star of the Seas

This past summer, I had the opportunity to cruise on Royal Caribbean's newest Icon-class ship, Star of the Seas, on a preview cruise just before cruises became available to the public. This quick 3-day cruise for travel professionals, was round-trip from Port Canaveral, Florida, in mid-August 2025. In short, this was an excellent experience to e...

New Orleans in December 2024

Wow! Seadog Travels and I hosted our first group trip ... and we did it right in New Orleans and the French Quarter. This was our first group trip, our first FAM trip, and the first trip that we designed, organized, planned, and hosted from beginning to end. And it went perfectly! The highlights? How about a jazz cruise dinner aboard the ...

We returned recently from a several day visit to Washington, DC. Although we've been there many times, it has been a while since our last visit, and this was a great opportunity to get reacquainted with the U.S. capital. After a one-day travel industry meeting in McLean, VA, we spent two full days walking the National Mall. We began with ...

The Real Deal
Seadog Travels is by far one of the most fair and trustworthy companies I have ever dealt with. The owner is a darling and so accommodating. He does his best to keep quality service and integrity on all levels. For all your travel needs be sure to contact Seadog Travels. I work with this company personally and all I can say is just know that once you connect its magic.

Excellent Service
I am so pleased to discover Seadog Travels because they were there for me every time I called or had any problems in the Caribbean islands, but they also were extremely helpful providing me constant information on the California rain and mudslides when my Amtrak trip had to cancel. This travel agency is most importantly focused on ecological matters, top service, and fun. Couldn’t ask for more.

Local Service
Paul was great – worked with me right away and understood exactly what I wanted. He was always available with great suggestions and help when we needed it in Hawaii…. We got great prices, unlike other travel agencies I went to (they were 4x as expensive).

Working Magic
…I owe you an incredible thanks for all your hard work and effort to put together such a memorable birthday trip for me last minute. The trip was fantastic! Everything I hoped for and even more. And the fact that you were able to pull it together 3 days before I left … wow … I don’t know how you worked your magic, but thank you!
