We hope you have a had a great year!

McCoy Custom Travel/Fiji Escapes Travel/Aloha Destinations/Fiji Romance Holidays has been assisting people like you since 1986 (we started as Aloha Destinations). McCoy Custom Travel was opened as a small agency on Maui in 1993. We went on the Internet in 1996 with the first Fiji Islands Travel website in the world. Yes, in the world! We are one of the top producing wholesale/retail Fiji Travel agencies in the USA and the largest inbound privately owned Hawaii Retail Travel Agency in Hawaii.

I, Melissa McCoy, have lived in Hawaii since 1974 and have been visiting Fiji since 1991 as a Honeymooner and Diver. I have visited Fiji a total of about a year of my life with multiple extended stays of over 3 weeks throughout the years. I have provided Consultation to several Fiji resorts when upgrading the resorts and services to USA client’s standards and expectations. I love what I do and I’m here, we are here, for the long haul.

We are now affiliated with Vacation.com, a Billion Dollar sales organization. This affiliation allows us to offer so much more value to you. So far this year we have further expanded our New Zealand and Australia offering tremendously and will continue to do so through the year. Our New Zealand department will add more on Food and Wine travel. We have also added Samoa and Tonga with Swimming with Humpback whales in Tonga being something that might change your life forever. If you are looking for a new South Pacific Adventure, try Vanuatu! The live volcano you can hike to, virgin scuba diving and an indigenous culture will WOW you with new delights! We now offer exclusive value added and resort credits at resorts throughout Hawaii. In addition, our Cruise offerings and discounts are keeping pace with internet pricing and we will soon have an online booking engine for Cruises offering some highly discounted cruise pricing. Now, your favorite McCoy Custom Travel Consultant can assist you with travel worldwide with service and pricing that you will enjoy. We can now also assist you with Europe and Asia. This year we “obtained” a couple of world class Travel Designers who moved to Maui from the mainland. If you are looking for the ultimate Europe Itinerary, land and cruise, be sure to call 1-800-256-4280 and ask for Michael Byrne at Extension 116 or call his direct line here in Hawaii at 213-784-4708. He is also our ultimate Cruise Specialist! Looking for a Disney Specialist? Hiapo Cockett was just at Disney World for 7 nights on his way to the Caribbean to La Samana Resort. If you want some enthusiasm for these destinations, contact Hiapo at 213-784-4910.

Since we are located on Maui, it is easy for us to experience the hotels in our own backyard. There is no doubt that we have the most complete collective knowledge you will find about all the resorts and accommodations in Hawaii. Our agents enjoy weekends at many of the fine resorts throughout Hawaii. We are TOP producers with Classic Vacations and Pleasant Holidays and offer you their fantastic values and customer service AND OURS... To make double sure that your time in Hawaii is the best we can make it. We know the hotel sales staff by name and talk to them often. Why would you book direct when you can have double the customer service for the same or less price?

And, the agents are on the move..... We’ve had 6 Vacation Consultants plus myself visit Fiji on a regular basis. Do you want the most diverse knowledge about Fiji? Look no further. If you added up all of our days in Fiji (for all staff) you are looking at about 90 days of experiences in just the last year. From new luxury resorts with plunge pools to the remote and little known island of Kadavu, diving and river rafting, kayaking, snorkeling and hiking... We have done it all this year and are enthusiastic to work with you to share our experiences, our enthusiasm and knowledge with you.

I turned 50 in 2004 and wandered off to Tonga for my dream experience... Swimming/snorkeling within feet of a mom and baby humpback whales. It was incredible. The southern hemisphere humpbacks go to Tonga in our summer (their winter) which is reverse of Whale season in Hawaii. Click here to visit my review and whale pictures of my 50th.. Celebrating life with the gentle giants. In November of 2004 we took my husbands dream vacation to Africa. We experienced Cape Town, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana (Chobe and the Okavango Delta). For my best friend’s 50th (Susan) we ventured to Italy in 2005. That was a great adventure. Michael (my husband) and I sampled New Caledonia and Vanuatu in late 2005 (I fell in love with Vanuatu). Melissa and Susan “did” Fiji for our September Birthday Adventure. We were there for 3 weeks visiting Kadavu, Qamea, Cousteau, Namale, Sofitel, Hilton and many places inbetween. My husband and I will venture off to Tasmania the end of 2006 and then to Pohnpei and Kosrae in early 2007.

Our Happy Client letters are growing daily... Take a look by clicking here. And please read what Expedia/Classic Custom Vacations, Pleasant Holidays and Hawaii World, leaders in the travel industry, have to say about us.

I read a quote that made me laugh, " Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you sit there!!!" "Will Rogers". So true. We hope that next year is on the right track and you don't sit still. And, that live is grand and fulfilling!

If you would like to know more about our Staff, click here. We’ll fill you in a little about who we are, our families and our interests. We have a unique bunch of people here at McCoy Custom Travel. Interesting hobbies, many supporting charities and conservation in our community. We’re not just a virtual agency, we are also have 4 walls around us! we say here “ It’s you Vacation and it’s our life!” Let us provide you with the TLC Travel Designing we are known for. We can save you time and money and most of all, headaches. In an “internet” world, sometimes it is “TMI” (too much information) and can be confusing and very stressful, to say the least.

We hope to hear from soon.

 

Warm and sunny regards from Maui
