GET TO KNOW ME
Hilton Curio Mahogany Bay - San Pedro, Belize
What inspires you to travel? I love to travel and see new landscapes, discover new cultures, step outside my comfort zone and try new foods and see the sunrise and sunset on a different horizon. I love to travel with my family and create new memories.
What do you think is the most stressful thing about traveling? The most stressful thing is packing. I am always worried I have either under- or over-packed. When I went to Italy with my husband for a week, I proudly packed everything in a carry-on. When I went to Belize, I only needed a few swimsuits and cover ups but brought two suitcases.
What's the strangest souvenir you've bought? I'd have to say the butter dish in Amsterdam (2016). I still use it to this day.

Fairytale Croatia Honeymoon
Dune Lakes Travel made our honeymoon trip so easy to plan to Croatia. We did 10 days in 3 different cities with some of the best recommendations to do around the area. We were especially taken care of from Jennifer and she was always attentive and ready to assist when possible. We have never used a travel agency before but will use again for future trips!
Best Family Disney Vacation!
Jennifer was so wonderful in helping us plan the best family Disney Vacation! Everything was perfect, and so enjoyable knowing we were being taken care of! We will for sure be using her again!
Amazing Group Walt Disney World Trip
Our travel agent, Jennifer Wood was fantastic! We had a million questions that she addressed immediately. She was so helpful and patient with all of our correspondence. Not just from me, but from various other family members. We would have been lost without her. I was so impress with her level of knowledge and expertise. If the family ever goes back, I can assure you we will find Jennifer!! It is without question or qualification that I highly recommend her! She's the best!!! Thank you Jennifer!!
Disney Vacation a breeze!
We used Dune Lakes Travel to help us navigate our Disney Vacation and we could not have been more pleased! Our family of 6 had the best time! Dune Lakes helped us get difficult to get dining reservations and the rides my kids wanted. Using Dune Lakes travel is an absolute must if going to Disney World!
Disney Christmas Family Trip
Jennifer planned our entire Xmas Disney vacation and it was spectacular! She made the process seamless and really took the time to listen to what we wanted to do while on our vacation. She made the best suggestions ash’s helped make sure we had the best experience for what OUR family wanted. Can’t wait to use her and her team for our next family vacation!
Engagement of a lifetime in Italy!
From the moment I first talked on the phone with Jennifer to the end of our trip, she has been nothing but helpful with the planning and so attentive to our needs. The hardest part of the whole experience was deciding where we wanted to go. Once we decided on Italy, Jennifer made the planning process a breeze. Putting together all our accommodations, flights, rental car, and even going as far as shipping masks straight to my door. Unbeknownst to me, my fiance had secretly reached out to Jennifer asking for help in proposing. Jennifer put him in touch with a planner in Italy who put together a dream proposal at Villa Balbianello. Words can't describe how incredible it was and it could not have happened without Jennifer. We are so grateful for Jennifer for planning the trip of a lifetime for us. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and care for us did not go unnoticed. Will never plan a trip again without Jennifer, and highly recommend her for your next trip.
Highly recommend to all my family and friends
I have known Jennifer for years. She is very honest and easy to work with! I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends!
AMAZING! She set the bar high
This was my first time working with a travel agency and Jennifer set the bar high. She is AMAZING and the term falls short to describe her. Our resort was incredible. We woke up in paradise for 4 days. We could have spent every day all day there without the need to leave. Our excursions were incredible the luau was amazing, Hawaii was incredible and I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoy family time and the scenery.
Stress-free Universal Orlando trip
Jennifer was amazing to work with. Having a travel agent handle all the bookings and reservations makes things way less stressful. We had an amazing time on our vacation and I will define using Dune Lakes Travel in the future!
No detail left out of Disney trip
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful, she took care of every single detail and planned everything perfectly for us. Without her help and guidance I really don’t think our vacation would had gone so smoothly.
Dream Paul Gauguin Cruise!
We booked a trip with Jennifer to Tahiti on the Paul Gauguin cruise ship. She explored and then fulfilled every wish and need we had. We needed day rooms in Los Angeles and Papette. She found great ones that were fair priced. She found a lower price with a cabin upgrade. The topper was helping us navigate the COVID protocol for US and Tahiti! She made traveling during the pandemic not only possible but safe and enjoyable. Who could ask for more?
5-Star Royal Caribbean Family Cruise
Jennifer was TREMENDOUS! Very responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. 5-star level service! Highly recommend and will definitely use again.
Amazing Walt Disney World Trip
Jennifer Wood helped me plan an amazing trip to Disney with my son. I had put off going to the Disney parks for a few years(bought tickets during Covid and they don’t expire for a few years from purchase date) because I was intimidated by the Covid ever changing rules, the genie app/lighting lane/ scheduling ride times…the Disney App itself was intimidating to navigate. Jennifer set everything up for us and went above and beyond in helping schedule our rides every morning at 6am her time!!! By day 2 I was a Disney pro because of her!! I’m looking forward to planning all our trips through her! Thank you Jennifer!
Romantic Las Vegas Anniversary Getaway
Jennifer went above and beyond for our anniversary trip last month. I didn’t think we were going to be able to pull off the trip because of our crazy schedules and Jennifer continued to work non stop to make it happen. She was so kind, professional and detail orientated! Every little small question I had while traveling, Jennifer was extremely responsive and even sent us a special gift for our Anniversary! Thank you Jennifer for making this trip possible and showing us the best! I will never take another trip without consulting Jennifer.
Seamless Family Orlando Vacation
Wonderful experience. Jennifer ( Dune Lakes Travel ) handled everything so that all we had to do was enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend!!!
Skeptic Turned Believer! Hawaii Success
Jennifer was incredibly helpful on our family vacation to Hawaii. I was admittedly skeptical about the need for a travel agent, but she was well worth it and absolutely necessary. She took away so much of the work and stress of planning a vacation. She planned our entire trip from airport to airport, hotels, events, and everything so that all we had to do was show up. She helped us with changes and questions along the way. She had insider knowledge on a lot of tours. She even added days and additional travel during our trip. I would absolutely recommend her for your vacation.
Disney VIP Concierge Planning
I want to thank Jennifer for her outstanding services while planning our trip to Disney. My husband and I (grandparents) wanted to plan a trip for our family of 9 but had no idea where to start. Disney has really changed since we visited last. Now they require reservations for everything and lots of planning. I called Jennifer and she guided me every set of the way. She gave excellent advice and handled all of the details. She even scheduled our fast passes. If you need assistance and or expert advice, give Jennifer a call. You will not be disappointed.
Helped with my Expedia Nightmare
Jennifer helped me with questions about Expedia airline flights. She was very helpful and professional. Much easier than to try to deal with Expedia or American Airlines directly. I recommend Dune Lakes Travel and I’ll use them again.
Stress-free airline booking
I was trying to book a round trip ticket for my 11 yr. old niece through the airline. I was on hold for over an hour. I called Jennifer and she immediately was able to book the ticket and helped me with other issues that arose. Thank you so much. You are definitely going to handle all of my travel needs from now on. Thank you. Sincerely, Delia
Familymoon in Destin, FL

Perfect Universal Spring Break Vacation
Took a family vacation during spring break to Universal Studios. Jennifer Wood with Dune Lakes Travel took care of us. We were a big group and Jennifer took care of everything for us flight, hotel, shuttle, park passes, and lunch and dinner reservation. Jennifer was very knowledgeable with the resort and park restrictions and guideline. Jennifer took her time to give us all the information that we need before our trip. I will be booking all vacations with Dune Lake Travel.
