Hawaiian Destination Expert

Oahu Swing
Oahu Swing

Aloha! I fell in love with the Hawaiian islands when I honeymooned there in the 1990's.   I love designing Hawaiian vacation planning experience aligned with my clients interests and desires. 

I have extensive knowledge of each of the Hawaiian islands.  The islands are similar,  but have very different landscapes, activities and atmospheres.

My approach to vacation planning is focused on culture immersion, uncovering hidden gems, and aligning each island experience with the traveler's interests.

 This unique destination has a rich culture with diverse landscapes. Exploring these aspects of the islands is essential for a truly authentic experience.

Greece Honeymoon

Reviewed By Dylan - West Chester, PA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Heather did a fantastic job planning a wonderful trip for our honeymoon. She listened to our requests and used her own experience and expertise to very quickly plan and create an itinerary for us. Once the initial plan was made Heather was very responsive to any questions we had and quickly made adjustments if our preferences changed. She booked very nice hotels that were within our budget for every leg of our trip and gave excellent recommendations for excursions and things to do at each location. Every part of the trip went off without a hitch which allowed us to relax and focus on enjoying Greece without having to worry about any logistical problems. Heather continued to help us while we were in Greece by answering any questions we had, responding to and coordinating with excursion providers, and tracking flights in case of delays or cancellations. Overall we had an amazing experience and would absolutely ask Heather to help plan our future trips.

Easiest Family Vacation Planning Ever!

Reviewed By Heather - Telford, PA | Traveled to Virginia ~ USA
I absolutely hate picking and planning family vacations. I met with Heather and told her our requirements. She sent over several options with amazing houses. I picked one, told Heather and got it booked in a few minutes. Easiest vacation planning ever. She then sent me options for more things to do while we are there. Now if she could just pack my van for me!

Christmas in Nashville!

Reviewed By Kerry - Pennsburg, PA | Traveled to Nashville ~ Tennessee ~ USA
Heather planned an amazing trip for my husband & I to Nashville at Christmas. We are very busy during the holiday season (due to our retail business) so it was a big weight lighted to have Heather plan most of it. She took care of every detail including air travel, rental car, hotel, and all the places we would visit & eat at while there. She even made sure our hotel had parking in the city. Our itinerary was provided on a website/app that was easy to access when we needed to know what was next. It was a lovely trip that we will always remember!

Hudson Valley West Point Moms Trip

Reviewed By Colleen - West Chester, PA | Traveled to New York ~ USA
Heather from Merge Travel helped us plan an unforgettable West Point Moms’ long weekend trip! She researched all the things to see and do in the Hudson Valley before our cadets graduate! She found us a historic and comfortable place to stay that slept 8+ and tailored the trip to be flexible to allow for the different interests and abilities of everyone going. Some highlights include hiking the ‘Trail of the Fallen,’ arranging a behind the scenes tour of Unshattered, setting up a tour of a local wine cellar, and making reservations to experience dinner at the Culinary Institute of America to name just a few! Her planning, effort and extra attention to detail meant we saw and did everything we wanted to and we were able to relax knowing it was all taken care of! I highly recommend for Heather to plan your next trip!!

Hawaiian Vacation

Reviewed By Jason B - PA | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Our family had the pleasure of having Heather Wassel from Merge Travel plan our unforgettable trip to Hawaii. Spanning close to two weeks between the Big Island and Kauai, every moment was meticulously crafted. Heather's recommendations and reservations allowed us to experience the best of what Hawaii has to offer. From witnessing the awe-inspiring eruption of the volcano on the Big Island to the surreal experience of swimming with Manta rays at night, every activity was a highlight. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, ensuring a perfect balance between guided adventures and personal exploration time. When an unexpected flight cancellation threatened to extend our stay, Heather promptly rearranged our travel plans, ensuring we weren't stranded. If there were an option for 6 stars, Heather would undoubtedly receive it from us. Thank you, Heather, for making our Hawaiian vacation truly one for the ages!

Reviewed By Laurie - Bath, PA | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
MANY thanks to Heather at Merge Travel for her time in planning an itinerary so our family could travel into New York City, to enjoy a bit of Christmas, just prior to the big kickoff of the holiday season. She designed a day in which we were able to experience some sights, which were “firsts” for us. We found working with Heather to be very enjoyable, and she absolutely desired to schedule our time, in the city, according to what our family had interest in doing. Thank you for helping us make memories!!

Dream Trip to Scotland

Reviewed By Karin - Harleysville, PA | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Heather planned my dream trip to Scotland to visit many of the beautiful sites featured in the Outlander TV show as well as a few extra (and equally fascinating) castles!

Heather arranged for 4 and 5 star hotels with an excellent level of service in interesting locations (e.g. castles)

Dinner recommendations became delicious dining opportunities and were conveniently located to our hotels. We dined gourmet, locally sourced cuisine as well as some pub style fare.

Some beautiful hikes were recommended on the Isle of Skye so we could explore “off the beaten path.”

I was able to explore the Wild Atlantic and the ruggedly beautiful Highlands in addition to intriguingly-storied castles (including Balmoral!). Mostly, I enjoyed following in Jamie and Claire’s footsteps reliving some of my favorite Outlander moments!

It was the perfect trip, and I am grateful for Heather as they were able to take my travel dream and turn dream and turn it some beautiful travel memories!!!
