Your slice of heaven in an overwater bungalow!

La ora na! With 40 years of expertise, I've dedicated myself to bringing the enchanting vistas of Tahiti closer to you. Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of crystal blue waters kissing white sands, right from your bungalow in paradise. The South Pacific islands, true jewels in the South Pacific, offer idyllic escapes. As a Certified Tahiti Specialist, I’ve not only experienced the allure of Tahiti and her islands multiple times but have also transformed these experiences into dream vacations for my clients. Whether it's a romantic retreat in an over-the-water bungalow where sunsets blend seamlessly with the sea or a family adventure in a beach bungalow with direct sand access, I specialize in making it happen.My passion lies in uncovering the hidden gems of Tahiti, mastering the tips, tricks, and local secrets. This insight allows me to craft personalized, extraordinary travel experiences. My goal goes beyond mere travel planning; it's about crafting journeys that offer a new perspective on life. Vacations tailor-made by me promise an immersion into exotic cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and experiences that change how you view your world. Let me empower you to step away from the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. The power of travel is profound – it transforms, enlightens, and enriches. With every vacation I plan, I aim to open doors to new possibilities, turning dreams into reality. Haere tatou! Let's embark on this transformative journey together.

DREAM WEDDING TRIP
I don’t even know where to start! Sue was an angel from day ONE! She got back to me immediately & throughout the entire process she was so responsive, professional, kind & treats you more like family than a client. 2 flights cancelled (Covid) & Sue ensured we were taken care of with new flights. She went above & beyond to ensure every single request we had was taken care of! Then, we had to get tested for Covid 72 hours before our trip (nightmare) & she went OUT OF HER WAY to speak with the lab to make sure we would get results. I don’t think that even falls in her job description?!!! I lost my bag (nightmare) heading to Bora & Sue was right on it making sure i got it back in time for my wedding. She never seemed too busy for us with our questions & made us feel like we were really a priority. I can’t say enough great things about Sue!!!!! Our trip would NOT be what it was without her. She is exactly who you need if you are traveling somewhere you have never been!

Travel Agency Done Right
Sue is so reliable and helpful, it's like taking an expert with you. When things happen (and they will), she quickly finds great options quickly. More than once I thought I was stranded by a cancelled flight or some emergency would come up where plans needed to be changed. She gets its done. She knows me and my family and what we will like. Her personal experiences help her guide us to good travel choices. In short, travel agent done right!

The best honeymoon we could ask for!
Susan was amazing. We don’t travel often and she was always there to answer my newbie questions no matter what day or time it was. She had everything planned out for us which made it so easy for us to focus on our wedding instead of stressing over getting everything scheduled for the honeymoon. I can’t recommend her enough and will always be appreciative of her helping our honeymoon go so well. I look forward to our next trip with Susan guiding the way!

The perfect honeymoon!
We have never booked through a travel agent before, and were skeptical at first. Looking back at our honeymoon however, we are so glad we trusted a professional with helping organize our trip. Each time we met with Sue she greeted us with a smile and had an itinerary outlined for us. She suggested resorts and locations we never thought we would be able to work into our budget, and we even ended up upgrading our room and adding an excursion to our vacation. She did an amazing job organizing the specifics of our trip including flights and shuttle services, after a busy week with our wedding it was wonderful knowing we just had to show up for our honeymoon and that everything had been taken care of. We would highly recommend booking your next vacation with Sue!
