Have you ever been on a tour bus seeing the sights? The tour guide points to the scenery, as the bus keeps moving along, and exclaims, “Look at the mountain over there!” Did you want to just look or did you want to get out and hike that mountain? I want to hike that mountain. I know you do, too. That’s what an active and adventurous vacation is all about. It is getting out and exploring under your own power. Whether it’s hiking up a mountain or kayaking a river, you will be immersed in the destination.
I am a Certified Active and Adventure Vacation Designer. I specialize in custom designed vacations that get you out of the tour bus so you can get up close to the scenery in an active way. I know your life is busy. The dizzying amount of internet search results can be daunting. I’ll work with you to design a trip itinerary to your liking saving you time and no head spinning. Let’s make your next trip the best it can be. I’m ready to custom design your next active vacation.

Hawaii FAQs
Which island in Hawaii should I visit?
Most visitors to Hawaii will spend time on Kauai, Oahu, Maui, or the Big Island (Hawaii Island). Each of these islands has its own unique character. It all depends on what you are looking for. You will find history, culture, good food, beaches, nature, and so much more all over Hawaii.
What is there to do in Hawaii?
For the adventurers, take a surfing lesson or swim with the manta rays or take a helicopter ride for a bird's eye view of the island.
For the active traveler, hike a volcano or go kayaking on a river.
What is there to see in Hawaii?
For the history buff, visit the Arizona Memorial, the site of the start of World War II
For the wildlife watcher, take a whale watching cruise
If you are looking to immerse yourself in culture, spend an entertaining night at a luau.
Where should I go for my first trip to Hawaii?
If you had to choose only one island, I would suggest Oahu. You’ll be able to enjoy all of Hawaii on just one island. Oahu has beautiful beaches, great food, a hikeable volcano, history, culture, and nature.
How do I get to Hawaii?
There are numerous non-stop flights from many U.S. West Coast cities to Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. If you have extra time, consider a 9+ day cruise from Vancouver, Canada or U.S. West Coast ports.

Dora was fabulous and a life saver! She provided us several options for a complicated schedule involving multiple parties which definitely saved us a lot of time and effort trying to coordinate everything. When we were unable to travel due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, Dora again came to the rescue and handled the cancellation of all plans. It was the easiest trip we never took! Thank you, Dora!
