Aloha from Maui .. McCoy Custom Travel -

We hope you had a wonderful 2008 and that 2009 has some good things in store for you. I'm so glad that I read the book "Who Moved My Cheese" because it helped me work through some of the changes and challenges that keep happening in our industry. If you haven't read this gem of a Book, consider it. For only 2 hours of your time it might just help you through the changes in your life that you had not planned on. As we continue to "Move with the Cheese", we've had some really new & rewarding experiences.

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. We are one of the top producing wholesale/retail Fiji Travel agencies in the USA and the largest inbound Hawaii Retail Travel Agency in Hawaii (not including Pleasant of course). 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 Signature Travel Network, 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. 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.

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 Custom Vacations and Pleasant 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.

And, the agents are on the move..... We’ve had 6 Vacation Consultants plus myself visit Fiji the last quarter of 2008. 1 staff member went to Fiji and Australia in January, 1 staff member just got back from New Zealand, 2 more staff are going to Fiji in March. 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 we took my husbands dream vacation to Africa. We experienced Cape Town, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana (Chobe and the Okavango Delta).

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 the rest of your year is on the right track and you don't sit still.

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 a large office with a Christmas Tree, posters on the wall and an incredible view of Haleakala mountain from our office.

We hope to hear from soon.

Warm and sunny regards from Maui
