At Pura Vida Vacations we know that you want bespoke travel experiences in breathtaking destinations so you can relax, unwind, and discover the local culture without all the stress of planning.
To have that, you need a professionally planned vacation with a personalized touch.
The problem is that while you love taking vacations that provide incredible experiences, you do not have the planning time, experience, or travel industry connections to make it easy.
Trying to DIY your travel plans leaves you feeling frustrated at all the number of options and doubting your choices. It’s not your fault because online booking websites make it sound so easy.
As an avid traveler myself, I can understand how frustrating it can feel to plan a trip and then end up disappointed with the experience. That is why I am so passionate about working with travelers like you.
I have been a travel advisor for over 8 years creating unforgettable experiences that bring on the awe for my clients.
It’s time to go from overwhelmed and exhausted to suitcase packed and flight mode ready.
When you DIY anything in life, you take on risks. Sometimes it's a calculated risk because the consequences (if anything goes wrong) are minimal.
Other things, the risk is too high - medical procedures, home renovations, educating your children, and even cutting your own hair.
Planning travel, especially out of the country, is something that should also be left to qualified and professional experts.
If we haven't already had a quick 15 minute video or phone chat this is where we listen to your ideas and travel goals.
In this 60-90 minute virtual meeting, we'll kick off the planning process. We will ask you a number of questions aimed at getting to know your travel preferences and style.
We will present you will a full itinerary containing options for travel, activities, accommodation, and pre & post-cruise packages. Request any small adjustments before we lock in your trip.
These are just a few of the many destinations we send our clients to
