Lone Peak Travel
The art of traveling well.
Personalized journeys, exceptional stays, and thoughtful details that turn a trip into something extraordinary.
Every trip comes with a document like this
Most agents send a confirmation email. I send a plan — drive times measured road-by-road, tide tables and moon phases where they matter, a fallback for every booking that can't be moved, and the reason behind each decision so you can change it with your eyes open.
Coromandel to Fiordland
Glowworm caves, geothermal country, an alpine rail crossing, two nights under one of the darkest skies on earth, and Milford Sound — routed around a full moon for the tides at Hot Water Beach.
- Both islands
- Two rental cars

Six islands by small ship
A 312-guest yacht round trip from Papeete — Raiatea, a private motu off Taha'a, two days at Bora Bora, Huahine and Moorea, with the watersports platform open at four of them.
- Windstar
- Fares compared by month
- Pre-cruise Moorea

The rates are the same. The trip isn't.
Virtuoso is the network the world's best hotels work through. Booking a property this way costs no more than booking it yourself — but it adds breakfast, a room upgrade when one exists, and a credit to spend on the property. And it puts a real person on the phone when a flight cancels at 11pm in a country you've never been to. I don't charge planning fees either, so the only thing my time costs you is the phone call.
Three conversations, then a plan
Tell me the shape of it
Where, roughly when, how many of you, and what you'd hate. Pace matters more than destination — some people want four countries, some want one valley.
I build the route
Researched properly: real drive times, what's closed in your month, which bookings have to be made first, and where the plan has slack if something goes wrong.
We adjust, then I book it
You read it, we cut what doesn't appeal, and I handle every reservation — flights, cars, hotels, guides. You travel with one document and one phone number.

Travel has always been part of my life. I grew up traveling the world and experiencing different places, cultures, food, and traditions. Those early years sparked a lifelong passion for travel, discovering new things, and the joy that vacations bring to our lives.
I believe travel creates fun, lasting memories. I love seeing beautiful scenery, eating fabulous food, meeting different people, and learning a culture’s history. For me, the best trips are about more than just seeing a destination — they’re about the experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a couple looking for romance, a family craving fun and adventure, or a group of friends planning a getaway, I’m here to help you create a vacation that exceeds your expectations and becomes one you’ll always remember.
