WHY A HAWAII TRAVEL AGENT?

Hawaii Travel Agent
Some clients start arranging their travel online, get overwhelmed, and then realize a travel agent who lives in Hawaii can make a difference.

We understand the challenge: each island offers a unique perspective, areas on the islands can differ dramatically, and there’s a wide variety of accommodations to choose from. As travel specialists, we bring a wealth of knowledge and real value to your travel planning: first, we get to know you and learn about your approach to travel, vacation priorities, and what you like to see and do.

Travel to Paradise is your travel advocate and we would love to share our knowledge of Hawaii. We’ve stayed at most of the properties we represent on all the islands. We’ll help you decide the best places to visit and stay, for the best price we can find. We have many repeat clients who enjoy our professional, smiling service and would be honored to add you to our list. How? We’ll send you photos of accommodation options, airfares and a quote, talk some more, suggest extra places to visit you may not know about, and offer suggestions on ways to avoid peak travel periods or save on hotels. Before you know it, you’re counting down the days until you walk off the plane and feel the caress of Hawaii’s island air. You’ll appreciate seamless travel and a worry-free paradise, just as it should be.

You make the decisions, we save you money, and you enjoy the vacation of a lifetime. It’s that easy! Ready to talk about what you’re looking for in the land of Aloha? Don’t have hours to devote to planning your Hawaii vacation?
