HAWAII

HAWAII

The Hawaiian Islands, a tropical paradise in the United States, offer a unique and enchanting experience that sets them apart from any other destination.

Hawaii's weather is a patchwork of microclimates, changing as you move from one part of an island to another or between islands. Here, you can encounter a refreshing rain shower in one area and bask in warm sunshine in another, all within the same island.

 

The islands are a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a myriad of water-based activities such as snorkeling, iconic surfing, sunset cruises, fishing, and paddling down scenic rivers. Moreover, the Big Island of Hawaii provides a unique opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of an erupting volcano while on a cruise.

Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a taste of paradise, Hawaii delivers an unforgettable experience filled with aloha spirit and natural wonders.

SOUTH PACIFIC

SOUTH PACIFIC

The South Pacific conjures up an image of mystical island luxury, where sea breezes mingle with salty air and there’s practically deserted, palm-fringed beaches as far as the eye can see.

 

But is a trip to the mythical and secluded South Pacific really worth the longer plane ride, when you could opt for a Caribbean island closer to home? Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or just a special just-for-two escape, find out for yourself:

The Ultimate Romantic Destination

 

The islands of the South Pacific are unlike anywhere else on earth, where impossibly blue lagoons meet lush volcanic mountains, and wide swaths of powder-soft sand are practically yours alone to explore. Isolated, intimate, and ultra luxe, the resorts of Tahiti and Bora Bora—and more under-the-radar French Polynesian islands like Moorea—are simply made for romance. Hushed, upscale, and secluded, this is far from the party scene you’ll find in Cancun.

 

Instead, think: candlelit dinners on a deserted beach, a champagne catamaran cruise where you watch the sun sink behind the mountains, or the most incredible couples’ massage with a sparkling sea view. Check into a classic thatched-roof overwater bungalow, where you can wake to pink-tinged sunrises and dive directly into the refreshing lagoon right from your own deck.

 

As South Pacific specialists, we can also pair you with more unique properties, like oceanfront villas that boast their own private pools. Wherever you decide to rest your head, sophisticated island seclusion awaits you.

 

One-of-a-Kind Island Culture

 

The South Pacific presents a fascinating melting pot of cultural influences, from French-inspired architecture and cuisine to indigenous Polynesian traditions passed down through generations.

 

Glide across a lagoon in a traditional dugout canoe, stroll the Tahitian markets to find handicraft treasures, and visit indigenous villages to learn about an ancient way of life from welcoming locals.

 

A trip to the South Pacific is so much more than an island escape, but a deep dive into a totally unique way of life, shaped by the islands’ remoteness and rugged terrain—the culture and customs here are unlike anything you’d find closer to home in the Caribbean!

Lagoon Life

 

While you can hike, ATV ride, or cycle through the interiors of the islands, a trip to the South Pacific is really all about the water. Tropical fish flit between the colorful coral reefs, and gentle manta rays glide beneath the waves. See it all on a glass-bottom boat tour, or get even closer on a snorkeling or scuba diving adventure.

 

You can even charter a boat to sail you across a lagoon to a private stretch of beach, where you can unpack an island picnic, seek shade beneath swaying coconut palms, and refresh yourself with a swim in glass-clear waters. This is life on island time, and it just doesn’t get sweeter.

CARIBBEAN

CARIBBEAN

Exotic Holiday

Powder-soft sand. Swaying palms. Breezy days and balmy nights. Deep turquoise waters as far as the eye can see. If you’re yearning to soak up some sun on a pristine beach, the Caribbean is ready for you. Here’s what awaits you when you opt for luxurious pampering in the Caribbean, all planned by us:

An Upleveled Experience

 

You may have done the Caribbean on the cheap before (Spring Break, anyone?). Now it’s time to experience the islands’ laidback and luxurious sides. The very best resorts offer a whole world of island pampering.

 

Think: butler service at your beck and call, private plunge pools right outside your ocean front suite, and pockets of breathtaking, secluded gardens, coves, and swim-up bars that make you feel like you’ve walked into your very own slice of paradise. There’s nothing better than returning to your suite after a gourmet dinner to find that your butler has already run you a bath, strewn with hibiscus petals and accompanied by a bottle of champagne on ice—Spring Break this is not!

 

Fun in the Sun—for Everyone

 

What’s so great about Caribbean resorts is that they cater to all different kinds of crowds—and we’ll help you find your perfect fit. Adult-only all-inclusive resorts are perfect for a grown up escape; if you’re after romance we’ll pair you with a serene, boutique-style resort with plenty of intimate corners to get lost in. Going along with a few of your favorite couples or friends? We’ll match you up with a resort known for upscale entertainment options, where you could salsa away the evening if you want to.

 

Of course, there are plenty of family-friendly options too, and the all-inclusive nature of many Caribbean resorts makes vacationing as a family actually easy (you can’t say that about a cross-country family road trip!).

 

More solo travelers are turning to resort escapes as well, at posh properties that allow them to slow down and decompress as they’re pampered by discreet staff in a safe, inspiring setting.

Beyond Poolside Lounging

 

If all you’re looking for is to soak up the sun, daiquiri in hand, the Caribbean delivers. But it also serves up so much more. We’ll pair you with a resort attuned to your interests, whether that’s teeing off at a cliff-side designer golf course, embracing your wet and wild side with water sports and snorkeling adventures among pristine coral reefs, or amping up the romance with a sunset catamaran cruise.

 

Many of the top resorts in the Caribbean are actually wellness resorts. You can relax and unwind among swaying palms and sea breezes as you enjoy healthful island-fresh cuisine, morning yoga on the beach, and reinvigorating spa sessions. The Caribbean is the place to sink into sun-kissed bliss.

ALASKA

ALASKA

Alaska, often referred to as "The Great Land," is a magnificent state within the United States that beckons adventurers with its untamed beauty and unparalleled wilderness. This vast and diverse region features a landscape molded by volcanic activity and glaciers, with a remarkable 97.4% of its land remaining uninhabited by humans. The climate varies across the state, ranging from the wet and mild conditions along the southeast and south central coasts to the cool and dry interior, and the extreme cold of the northern regions.

Alaska offers a unique opportunity to witness some of the world's most fascinating wildlife, including dall sheep, bald eagles, moose, grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, salmon, and halibut. Its rugged terrain and remote wilderness make it a haven for those seeking seclusion, and luxury is redefined here by the privacy and tranquility it provides. Whether you choose to stay in secluded lodges or embark on small ship cruises to explore the hidden gems of Alaska, you'll be surrounded by pristine nature and awe-inspiring landscapes.

The state's allure goes beyond its remarkable landscapes. For visitors in the winter through early spring, the chance to witness the northern lights is an extraordinary experience that few other places can match. The northern lights, or aurora borealis, dance across the Alaskan skies, creating a spectacle that's nothing short of magical. For those who crave outdoor adventures, Alaska offers a wide range of activities, from kayaking in glacier-fed waters to whale watching cruises and fishing excursions. It's a place where you can truly immerse yourself in the great outdoors, making it an unforgettable destination for all nature enthusiasts.

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

A bucket-list journey through otherworldly landscapes, a melting pot of cultures, and some of the most unique wildlife on the planet—this must be Australia and New Zealand. Discover what’s in store when we design your once-in-a-lifetime trip Down Under:

A Walk on the Wildside

 

If you had to sum up Australia in one word, it’d have to be wild. The landscapes here are unlike anything you’ve encountered before, from the vast, rugged, red-tinged Outback to the cerulean blues of the Whitsundays Islands. And of course, this diverse terrain is teeming with unique wildlife.

 

Spy web-footed creatures marching in the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island as they make their daily journey from land to sea. Roam the “zoo without walls” on Kangaroo Island in search of lounging fur seals and sea lions. Visit a conservation center to meet and mingle with Australia’s cutest creatures, like koalas and wallabies. And of course, dive into the kaleidoscopic underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, home to more than 2,900 reefs stretching across 900 islands.

 

Culture & Cuisine

 

Australia has a more refined side, as well; find it in cosmopolitan cities like buzzing Sydney, home to the iconic opera house, or the Southeastern Coast’s Melbourne, filled with Victorian-era elegance and sprawling botanical gardens. Australia is also home to renowned wine regions; tour the rolling vineyards of the Hunter or Barossa Valleys to taste smoky Shiraz and smooth Chardonnay. And of course, get your fill of delicious eats at a traditional Australian “barbie,” as the smell of sizzling meats fills the air.

New Zealand Is for Nature Lovers

 

Just across the Tasman Sea from Australia lies New Zealand—but there’s so much to see and do here you might have to save it for a separate trip! New Zealand is known as an adventure lover’s paradise, from ziplining through the forest canopy in Rotorua to white-water rafting down the rivers of the wild West Coast.

 

But there are plenty of quieter pastoral pursuits, too. Enjoy a gentle hike through the verdant, sheep-studded Matamata valley, home to the Lord of the Rings’ Hobbiton (yes, you can tour the movie set!). Cycle out to the lighthouse on Cape Reinga, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Tasman Sea. From indigenous Maori traditions to award-winning Sauvignon Blanc wineries, dramatic ocean cliffs to soaring mountain peaks, there is so much to discover in New Zealand.
