It’s hard to pick one thing. The sheer beauty of both NZ and Fiji were remarkable and most memorable as well as the friendliness of the people. Generally I don’t think Americans understand what New Zealand can offer in terms of beauty of scenery, quality of life (and food). The people are beyond friendly in Fiji – you really feel like part of the family there. This really was the epic trip I was hoping it would be and my wife was absolutely thrilled. What you were able to put together for us was great – and you made it easy by answering all of my questions and being very responsive. At no time did I feel “lost” or uncomfortable with anything that was arranged. I would unequivocally and unhesitatingly recommend Luxury Adventures. They can truly package together an experience that matches your needs, have built a rapport and relationship with some excellent properties and you felt like they went the extra mile to make sure your itinerary flowed smoothly, and really booked activities that aligned with what we wanted. They are extremely responsive and easy to work with. If you’re planning a vacation in the South Pacific, seriously look no further.
