All About Hawaii

ALOHA!! Everything about this beautiful state of Hawaii is incredibly amazing! What makes it such a special travel destination is the fact that each of its islands are totally unique. A stop in Maui would not be complete without a Lahaina luau! From tropical waterfalls and sunset cruises to whale watching and helicopter rides or perhaps sink your toes into the black sand beaches of the Big Island of Hawaii. A visit to the USS Arizona and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor is a must on many visitors’ bucket lists! Each visit to Hawaii is a unique experience. I’d love to assist you in experiencing everything the Hawaiian Islands have to offer.

Customer Testimonials

Room was AMAZING!

I meant to tell you how great of a job Therese did before we left on our trip. I'm glad I waited. We just got back from a trip to Costa Rica, our room was unbelievable! We asked for an ocean view and we think our room was where they took pics for their brochures. When we first booked the trip, all the ocean view rooms were sold out. That didn't stop Therese from keeping an eye open and getting, probably the best room we have ever had. Thanks again for everything, we look forward to booking with you again next year.

Deam Vacation to Alaska

Therese was exceptional in assisting us with our dream vacation to Alaska! We received much information via mail and email. Once we decided when and where Therese kept us informed of details and took care of setting it all up. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We definitely plan on using her services in the near future.

Pleasure to Work With

Therese planned two trips for me and I couldn’t be more pleased with her help. The first trip was to New York that I was taking my granddaughter on, and she found me great rates on the airfare and hotel. She also arranged tickets ahead of time for the 911 museum. The second trip was to New Orleans for myself and my husband, again good rates o flight and hotel. Unfortunately we had to cancel because of a family emergency, but with the trip insurance that we purchased we had a full refund. If I travel next year I will definitely contact Therese.

Pleasant to work with

I have worked with Therese in planning our adventures on two occasions and have been very pleased with her support, timeliness in response, and knowledge. As a matter of fact, so happy, that I called her just today to help plan a third trip. Therese is always very pleasant to work with and completes necessary research if she doesn't know the answers. She goes the extra step even when not required!

Disappointed
This was the 1st time I booked online with Apple Vacations and Therese was assigned to my booking. She was responsive and efficient. She helped us book a park and fly. It was at no fault of hers that we were disappointed with our trip. She is a very good travel agent.

Novice traveler no more
I’ve never done much traveling so the thought of planning a trip to New York was scary, to say the least! With Therese’s expertise guiding us along the way, the NY experience went perfectly! I could not have had a better agent! And now, since that went so well, I’m really looking forward to a much bigger adventure next year...an Alaskan cruise with my whole family. Yes! You guessed it! I’m happy to say that Therese is taking care of all of us. I highly recommend her services!!! She promptly responds to my questions and concerns in a very professional and personable manner. She is exactly the assistance I need to be able to ENJOY and the planning and the trip. It becomes a true VACATION!! You can be sure I’ll be contacting Therese for my future vacations!
