Active & Adventure Specialist

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.

Crafter of Custom Kauai Vacations

Waipoo Falls, Kauai Island

Crafter of Custom Kauai Vacations

<p>Laid back. Nature’s paint palette. Jurassic. I just described some of Kauai’s many characteristics. Kauai’s slow pace reflects Hawaii’s <strong>laid-back</strong> lifestyle. The locals live it. You can, too, while vacationing on Kauai. You can choose a <strong>beach vacation</strong> or explore <strong>Kauai’s natural beauty</strong>.</p>
<p>While on Kauai, witness Mother Nature’s paint palette in the form of <strong>Waimea Canyon</strong>. The colorful canyon is often referred to as the <strong>Grand Canyon of the Pacific</strong>. The deep canyon walls display shades of red, green, and brown.</p>
<p>Even dinosaurs enjoy the island’s beauty. Dinosaurs roamed the island of Kauai. . . in <strong>Jurassic Park</strong>. Many movies used Kauai to create a fictional world. Pirates (of the Caribbean), King Kong, and dinosaurs made Kauai their movie home.</p>
<p>I was born and raised in Hawaii. I visited Kauai many times. I find something new to explore on each visit. Whether you want to hike Waimea Canyon, take a movie tour, or relax like the locals, I can design your <strong>dream Kauai getaway</strong>.</p>

Dora's planning of our vacation was spot on! From preplanning to our arrival back home, she was involved in ensuring that our trip went smoothly. Her level of customer service is definitely a 10 out of 10.
Donna - Yosemite National Park ~ California ~ USA
Dora was so easy to work with. She asked great questions which helped her plan our trip to fit our likes and personalities. She not only planned the highlights, but also suggested side adventures for us. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing travel advice.
Bonnie in Michigan - Grand Canyon ~ Arizona ~ USA
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!
Donna - Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
