About Me

Discover the Beauty of Fiji

Fiji is a tropical paradise known for crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches, welcoming people, lush landscapes, and unforgettable island experiences. Whether you want to relax at a luxury resort, explore local culture, snorkel colorful reefs, or enjoy a romantic getaway, Fiji offers something for every traveler.

I help couples, families, solo travelers, and groups plan custom Fiji vacations designed around their interests, travel style, and budget.

With more than 30 years in the travel industry, I know that planning a great Fiji vacation involves more than choosing a beautiful resort. The right island, accommodations, activities, transfers, and schedule can make your experience much easier and more enjoyable.

I have traveled extensively with my family and understand the importance of choosing the right destination for each traveler. I can help you decide where to stay, which islands to visit, how long to spend in Fiji, and how to make the most of your time in paradise.

Places I Recommend in Fiji

Nadi is a popular starting point for Fiji vacations, with convenient access to resorts, beaches, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

Denarau Island is ideal for travelers looking for upscale resorts, beautiful pools, dining, golf, shopping, and easy access to island excursions.

The Mamanuca Islands are perfect for relaxing on white-sand beaches, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, and enjoying classic tropical island scenery.

The Yasawa Islands offer a more secluded Fiji experience, with stunning beaches, turquoise lagoons, snorkeling, hiking, and smaller island resorts.

Coral Coast is a wonderful choice for travelers who want beaches, nature, local culture, and easy access to attractions along Viti Levu.

I can also help you explore Suva, visit traditional villages, experience local markets, enjoy river adventures, or arrange excursions to nearby islands.

  • Sailing and sunset cruises
  • Cultural and village experiences
  • Spa and wellness retreats
  • Beach vacations and relaxing resort stays

Why Work With Me?

Fiji is beautiful, but choosing the right island and resort can make a big difference. Some travelers want complete relaxation, while others prefer activities, local culture, adventure, or a combination of everything.

I take the time to understand how you like to travel, what you want to experience, and what matters most to you. Then I create a personalized vacation that balances sightseeing, relaxation, activities, and free time.

I have more than 30 years of travel experience and have visited more than 80 countries. I am also a four-time Travel Weekly Magellan Award winner. My travel advice has been featured by The New York Times, ABC, Fox News, The Weather Channel, and Discovery Channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days should I spend in Fiji?

I generally recommend 7 to 10 days, especially if you want to experience more than one island. Longer stays allow you to slow down and enjoy Fiji without feeling rushed.

 

Is Fiji good for families?

Absolutely. Many Fiji resorts offer family accommodations, kids' activities, pools, beaches, and excursions suitable for different ages.

 

Is Fiji expensive?

Fiji can work for a range of budgets. There are upscale luxury resorts as well as more affordable accommodations and activities. The biggest difference often comes down to the resort, island, room category, meals, and transportation.

When is the best time to visit Fiji?

Fiji can be enjoyed year-round. The period from roughly May through October is generally considered the drier and cooler season, while the warmer and wetter months can offer lush scenery and attractive travel opportunities. I can help you choose the best time based on your priorities, budget, and preferred activities.

Why should I use a travel advisor for Fiji?

Fiji has many islands, resorts, room categories, transportation options, and activities. I help you choose the right combination, avoid unnecessary travel between locations, make smart use of your budget, and create a vacation that fits the way you actually want to travel.

Start Planning Your Fiji Vacation

Whether you imagine waking up beside turquoise water, snorkeling above colorful coral reefs, enjoying a romantic sunset cruise, sharing Fiji's culture with your family, or simply relaxing at a beautiful island resort, I can help turn that vision into a personalized vacation.

With the right planning, Fiji can be more than a beach vacation. It can be an unforgettable experience designed specifically for you.

Another fabulous trip!
Reviewed By TC - San Antonio, Texas | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

The trip to Europe was awesome. All went well.
The trip to Europe was awesome. All went well. I do need to give you feedback about the Eurostar ticket people what the reviews say is completely true. The man comes 15 minutes before you leave. We were there an hour before. But all was great!
