Tahiti Travel Advisor
Welcome to the tropical paradise of Tahiti, where azure waters, pristine beaches, and Polynesian culture converge to create a dreamlike destination. As your travel advisor, I am here to guide you through this idyllic slice of heaven and help you embark on a journey to one of the world's most sought-after bucket list destinations.
Geography: Imagine a place where lush mountains covered in emerald-green foliage rise from crystal-clear lagoons, where white sand beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, and where vibrant coral reefs teem with marine life. This is Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, nestled in the heart of the South Pacific. Comprised of 118 islands and atolls, Tahiti offers a breathtakingly diverse range of landscapes, from dramatic waterfalls and verdant valleys to secluded motus (small islets) that beckon you to explore their untouched beauty.
Island Life and Culture: Prepare to be enchanted by the warmth and charm of Tahitian culture. Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of traditional music and dance, and embrace the warm hospitality of the locals. Discover the art of crafting intricate black pearls, witness the skill of outrigger canoe racing, and indulge in delicious Polynesian cuisine infused with tropical flavors. Let the spirit of aloha embrace you as you delve into the rich tapestry of Tahitian traditions and customs.
Paradise Experiences: As your travel advisor, I will curate a tailor-made experience that showcases the best of Tahiti. Picture yourself basking in the warm sunshine on pristine beaches, with turquoise waters lapping at your feet. Dive into a world of vibrant marine life as you snorkel or scuba dive through coral gardens. Set sail on a luxury catamaran, hop from one island to another, and discover hidden bays and secluded coves. Explore lush rainforests on exhilarating hikes, encounter mesmerizing waterfalls, and immerse yourself in the serenity of nature.
Whether you desire a romantic honeymoon escape, a thrilling adventure, or a rejuvenating retreat, Tahiti offers an array of experiences to suit your desires. Allow me to design an itinerary that combines relaxation, exploration, and cultural immersion, ensuring every moment is infused with the magic of this exotic paradise.
Tahiti awaits, ready to unfold its natural beauty and captivating culture before your eyes. Let us embark on a journey of tropical bliss, where the rhythms of island life will rejuvenate your spirit and leave you with memories to treasure forever.

80+ Family reunion at Crystal Mountain in Michigan
Samantha was an amazing pleasure to work with! Perfect mix of easy going, enthusiastic and professionalism! She did not hesitate or skip a beat at planning our 80 + attendee family reunion this past June 2022. Sam helped us not only FIND a venue that could accommodate our large group, but also took on the hard task of booking all the appropriate sized townhomes for EACH FAMILY that attended. I was impressed by her use of surveys, excel sheets and even pie charts to help our large group of varying and opiniated family members come to a consensus on multiple topics for our trip. She made planning for this special event stress free. I would HIGHLY recommend her for ANY of your travel needs. Thanks Samantha! =D

A perfectly tailored trip
The trip to Egypt that Sam curated -- from picking the places to visit to the highly educated and incredibly informative guides -- was really one of the best trips that we have taken. Sam was in touch with us throughout checking in several times a day to make sure that the trip was smooth. We are now planning a personalized group tour with her. Sam's professional yet friendly, prompt yet patient, Really couldn't ask for anything more her.

BEST TRIP EVER & FIRST ALL-INCLUSIVE!
We have worked with Sam before and choosing to work with her again was the best choice. We loved how she customized our trip and made it so easy for us. Everything we asked for, she delivered. She even gave us suggestions for apps that will help us navigate language barriers and ideas of what is appropriate to tip in a different country. Things that we did not think about she had covered. We always referred back to her itinerary if we questioned anything. All I know is we will continue to use Samantha's services for any trip in the future. Thank you so much for everything. We had the best trip ever because of you, Sam!
