Always a great day when reviews like this come in. With our new affiliations with Montecito Village Travel & The Sulit Experience, we can offer more locations and more types of trips for our clients.

We assisted with tours, transfers, first class flights, hotels in perfect walking distance from the sites and 24/7 concierge services in case any issues popped up along the way.

When you HIRE us, we take the guess work out because we have the experience and connections to make your vision come to life. Thanks again ladies for allowing Sun & Sea Travel Co to assist with this once in a lifetime trip!

My favorite “secret” time for busy families to travel is Thanksgiving. Sports take a break, kids have time off school and pricing is lower than Christmas break. So if all of the above sounds great, I’ve got an amazing deal for you!

We’ve got a couple extra spots at the amazing Westins Maui Resort and Spa during Thanksgiving week that are half the rate of what you can get direct. Check out the details below with pricing being in the room link!

Excited to meet with my amazing contacts representing each of the Hawaiian islands this morning. Learning more about sustainable tourism on the islands, updates on Maui (it’s open so who wants to go), and ways to create cultural experiences for our guests. Each island has its own feel and spirit! Knowing which island would be a good fit for the experiences you’d like to have is SOOO important to create that once in a life time vacation.

Who’s been to Hawaii and what was your favorite thing about visiting the islands?

Connections in this industry make the difference for our clients and she’s going to be meeting with vendors who make honeymoons, destination weddings and anniversary trips extra special.

So excited to be recognized as a leader in the romance vacation market, I’ve been selected to be a part of the exclusive 2024 Romance Travel Forum!

I’ll take part in top-level discussions, meet privately with representatives from the most sought-after romantic travel experiences, and have the unique opportunity to be in-destination to experience the new face of travel!

This is my profession, not my hobby, which is why when you book your destination wedding, honeymoon, or other travel - you can book with confidence.
