Sail and snorkel the idyllic Fiji Islands

Fiji

Even if you spend all your time on the mainland, it doesn’t mean you can’t experience some island magic from Port Denarau. Take a day trip sailing experience through Fiji’s beautiful Mamanuca Islands enjoying awesome food and great hospitality aboard the catamaran ‘Sabre’.

Snorkel coral reefs, take a short boat ride to the sand bar, enjoy a drink, and dance the macarena on the return home knowing even the shy ones will be up singing and dancing. Each day’s itinerary is different, creating a unique experience every day.

Hi, I’m Sarah—a Matamata local with a passion for making your travel dreams come true!With over nine years of experience as a travel consultant, I specialise in creating personalised journeys that leave lasting memories.

Working remotely from Matamata, I combine local charm with global expertise, bringing the world right to your doorstep.

Travel is not just my profession—it’s my passion. As an avid explorer, I’ve fallen in love with some incredible destinations.

London has captured my heart with its royal landmarks, from the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the storied Tower of London. Navigating the city on the iconic Underground is a breeze, making every corner of this vibrant city accessible. As a lifelong Harry Potter fan, visiting the Cotswolds and exploring filming locations like Lacock Abbey Cloisters (aka Hogwarts!) was pure magic.

In Asia, my adventures have taken me to many countries, but the Philippines stands out. Swimming with whale sharks and soaking up the island vibes were unforgettable experiences. It’s a destination rich in culture, beauty, and value—a must-see!

When it’s time to unwind, I love nothing more than a relaxing resort holiday. Picture this: a good book, a cocktail in hand, and the laid-back charm of the South Pacific.

As a new mum, I’ve developed a knack for finding the best family-friendly resorts. Our recent family holiday to Fiji was a dream! We stayed at the Outrigger, and it was absolutely faBULAous—perfect for little ones and parents alike.

Whether you’re craving a peaceful beach retreat, an exhilarating adventure, or a family escape, I’m here to make it happen.

My goal? To craft a travel experience tailored just for you, full of unforgettable moments and stress-free planning.

Travel is truly in my blood. My grandparents sparked the travel bug in my mum, and she passed that passion on to me. From the moment I took my very first holiday at age three, a magical trip to Disneyland, I was hooked. Growing up, I listened to my mum’s stories from her OE, my cousins’ globe-trotting adventures, and my sister’s explorations, all of which fueled my own wanderlust.

Over the years, I’ve lived in Scotland, as well as in England and Ireland, soaking up different cultures and ways of life. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, exploring incredible destinations including Jordan, Israel, the USA, Australia & Europe. I’ve experienced the security and ease of organised solo travel with Contiki and Topdeck tours, but I’ve also embraced the challenge and freedom of planning my own trips, like eloping in Denmark, which remains one of my most cherished adventures.

With a background in hospitality, I combine practical knowledge with genuine care to craft holidays that are personalised, meaningful, and seamless. I love getting to know your unique travel style and what matters most to you, whether that’s family fun, a romantic escape, or a bucket-list adventure.

I’m not just your travel consultant; I’m your travel cheerleader. I’ll celebrate every countdown with you, smooth out any bumps along the way, and be just as excited when everything comes together perfectly. My goal is to take the stress out of travel planning, so you can focus on making memories.

Let’s work together to create a travel experience that’s not only unforgettable but uniquely yours.

Why I Love Travel

The places I see and the people I meet—travel truly is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from different cultures and walks of life. Life is short; travel often.

My Travel Tips

If you are always early, you are never late.
Pre-book as much as possible before departure and schedule rest days on longer trips.
Live courageously—100% of the opportunities you don’t take are missed.

My Top Three Favourite Destinations

Italy
The food, history, people, dramatic coastlines, and mountains—Italy deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list.

USA
With its extraordinary diversity of cultures and experiences, you could spend a lifetime exploring the United States and still not see it all.

Patagonia
Challenging to reach, but the dramatic landscapes that greet you make every moment of the journey worthwhile.
