About Me

Rainbow Falls - Hilo Hawaii
Rainbow Falls - Hilo Hawaii

Hawaii is a dream vacation location.  It is a fantastic vacation for couples, families singles, or return trips.  Each island has it's unique features.  You will never have enough time to see everything.  

Oahu

   Oahu has so much to see and do. Honolulu is hustling and bustling.  It has a lot of historic sites as well as beaches and amazing restaurants.  I would highly recommend spending time at Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl Cemetery, Diamond Head, and for those that love the water Waikiki Beach as well as Hanauma Bay.

Don't miss North Shore, Waimea Valley, Sunset Beach, Turtle Bay Resort, the Polynesian Cultural Center, LDS Temple and grounds, Haleiwa for a delicious shave Ice, beautiful beaches, much quieter location than Honolulu. So much to see you will have to return again and again.

Big Island

My favorite.  So much to see around Hilo - Rainbow Falls, the scenic falls road, Akaka Falls, Mauna Loa Macadamia Plant, helicopter tours over Kilauea volcano and various water falls, the small town of Volcano and Volcano National Park, the Black Sand Beach and I could go on and on.  I could spend weeks there.

Kauai

The beautiful area of Hanalei Bay, Tunnels Beach, Napali Boat Tours, Waimea Canyon, Kauai Movie Locations and time to relax.

Maui

Visit the volcano site of Haleakala, drive the road to Hana, Iao Needle, visit the flea markets.  You can fill your day with scenic drives.  Relax and enjoy the beauty of Maui.

Hawaii should be on everyone's bucketlist.  It is very hard to choose one Island so you can return many times and enjoy each island on their own.

I would love to help you create your beautiful vacation to Hawaii.  I have been to all of the islands I have talked about and would love to provide your dream vacation.

Best Trip Ever
Reviewed By Jordan Hadfield - Pleasant Grove, UT | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Our trip was amazing!! We all had so much fun!
I wanted to thank you for all that you did. Our rooms were perfect, on the best floor, and all so close together. Also, thank you so much for the strawberries! That was so nice of you!
You were truly great and I'm not sure you could have done anything more to improve our trip. It was truly wonderful. Thank you! I have written a review for you below.

I wasn't sure if using a travel agent was advantageous in booking our family vacation. Kris absolutely proved me wrong. She was a tremendous help in booking, answering questions, and taking care of small details that we hadn't even considered. She greatly improved our experience and paved the way for an excellent vacation. Do not hesitate in using Kris as your travel agent. I am so glad we did!

The best of Italy
Reviewed By Tina - Clearfield, UT | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I was very pleased while in Rome. Kristine made the flight plans, transportation in Rome and vacinity. She researched the area very well, found wonderful lodging that accomodated our large group, and also was able to search for events or sites for us to see on top of being in that wonderful city. She had great communication skills, and had detailed knowledge about our destination. I would travel with her again when the travel bug strikes me.
Kristine Mortenson responded
"Thank you very much for your kind review. I look forward to working with you in the future."

My Dream Vacation
Reviewed By Kathie Ritter - Lehi, Ut | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
In the summer of 2023, my siblings and I along with our spouses started planning and saving for this trip of a lifetime. We could never have done it without the expertise and help of Kris Mortenson. She was quick and efficient with bookings as well as helpful with finding the attractions and activities that we wanted to experience on our trip. From hotels to Vans to attraction tickets, Kris helped us find exactly what we needed. She was knowledgeable about electronic travel authorization, global entry, pre-check, travel insurance, and passports, some of which we would not have know without her guidance. Kris was so fun and enthusiastic to work with. She loves to travel and this love is infectious. I would recommend her services with absolutely no reservations.

Amazing Costa Rican Adventure
Reviewed By Robin &amp; Laurel - Nibley, Utah | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Kristine was so helpful and flexible. She was so kind and knowledgeable. The resorts, the transfers, the plane tickets… she took care of everything! She also made sure we did what we needed to be ready for the trip! The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal was the most beautiful resort we have ever been to! Si Como No near Manuel Antonio National Park was wonderful as well.
We had requested these 2 areas but we were clueless on where to stay. OR what excursions to do. The Journese company that Kris works with were brilliant! It was an amazing vacation in large part because we went through Kristine Mortenson!
Kristine Mortenson responded
"It was so fun working with you and I am so glad you had such a wonderful time. After hearing about your trip now I want to go to Costa Rica. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Kris"
