French Polynesia is truly one of a kind, and I can help you to plan the perfect getaway! French Polynesia has something to offer for everyone, whether you are looking for a romantic honeymoon or trip full of adventure. There are 118 islands that make up the island chain and each island offers its own unique beauty.
There are so many ways to experience the islands from an overwater bungalow to relaxing on a chartered Catamaran, or taking a small ship cruise.
Tahiti is the largest and most populous island in the chain, and it is here that you will find the capital city of Papeete. Bora Bora is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the island chain, and it is easy to see why. The island is home to stunning beaches, lush jungles, and amazing crystal-clear waters. If you are looking for a truly relaxing vacation, then Bora Bora is the perfect place for you. There are numerous wonderful resorts on the island, but one of the most popular is the Four Seasons Bora Bora. This resort offers plenty of activities and amenities, as well as breathtaking views of the surrounding islands. One of the most breathtaking ways to see French Polynesia is on the water. A catamaran charter, yacht, or small ship cruise allows you to relax and explore the islands in luxury.
No matter what your budget or preferences, I can help you plan the perfect Tahitian getaway, anniversary trip, or honeymoon to Bora Bora or any of the French Polynesian Islands. When you work with a Certified French Polynesian Specialist, you receive expert advice on planning your trip to the island of your choice. As a specialist I can help you with everything from finding flights to sifting through excursions to deciding on lodging—and give you exclusive access to little-known corners of the French Polynesian Islands to make your trip truly magical.

Katie was an awesome travel agent! This trip to Greece on the Norwegian Jade Cruise was an incredible experience and we would not have been able to do it without Katie. From the early planning of the trip to the very end she kept in contact with us and made the entire process insanely easy. She took care of everything! We had an eight hour time difference with Katie while we were on our trip and she always responded in a timely manner. She calmed my nerves throughout the entire process and made our lives much easier. I would DEFINITELY recommend Katie to anybody and everybody that is planning a vacation.

The Whole Family Says This Was Our Best Trip Ever!
Reviewed By edmonddoug - Bixby, Oklahoma | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
I contacted Katie to share that we wanted to go to Maui and what our budget was. She quickly produced three different packages, which all included a rental and airfare. We chose the middle offering and, honestly, I can't imagine what she'd planned for the trip just slightly above our budget. Everything either met or exceeded our expectations. Our room was surreal: ground floor with a wrap-around patio, steps from the pools, and just 100 yards from the beach. Each day I just smiled, reminded myself of how amazing our trip was, and how there was no way I could have put it together on my own. We did book some tours/excursions, but we also wanted to relax and just explore the island on our own. She gave us all the needed tools to accomplish both. A "Thank you, Katie" really doesn't feel like enough for your efforts in putting us in a the position to have "Our Best Trip Ever". Needless to say, we'll be requesting your assistance for our future

The Most Beautiful Island Adventure
Reviewed By RRoss - Bixby, OK | Traveled to St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Katie was amazing to work with as our family planned and excitingly prepared for a much anticipated trip to St. Lucia. She was knowledgeable, easy to contact, and helpful in walking us through the process of traveling abroad during covid. Our resort was incredible and our transportation was waiting at the airport to shuttle us directly to the front door! My daughter and friend tested positive for covid and had to stay behind at the resort. Katie went above and beyond to stay in contact with me, my daughter and the resort. She immediately changed flight plans for her and was instrumental in resolving a very emotional and scary situation! We are excited to begin planning our next trip abroad and will 100% be relying on the expertise of Katie! She's the best!

Best Travel Agent Ever!
Reviewed By Kasey - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Europe
Katie is the best travel agent ever! We’ve had the pleasure to work with her over the past few years booking several trips including Mexico, Jamaica and Europe! This past year, Katie helped us book an intricate, month long vacation to France, England and Denmark. From booking flights to lodging, trains to rental cars, Katie made the process easy and stress free which allowed me to focus on the fun! She recommended restaurants, tours and excursions. Katie created an itinerary for me to print and take with me which was especially helpful! I would highly recommend using Katie as your travel agent. Her experience and expertise is invaluable!
