The South Pacific is my home turf
Honeymoons and first trips to Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand.
Book a complimentary consultationI'm McKenzie. I've slept on 4 islands in French Polynesia and at 4 resorts in Fiji, and the South Pacific is where I send couples on their first big trip together.
I'm a certified Tahiti Tiare Specialist and Fiji Specialist with Susan's Travel Services, a Virtuoso member agency. If you're planning a honeymoon on this side of the world, you're in the right place.
Where I'll take you
Tahiti
Moorea, Bora Bora, and The Brando. I build every Tahiti trip from the bottom to the top, so each island tops the last.

Fiji
I've stayed at Royal Davui, Namale, Nanuku, and Likuliku, and I cried leaving every one of them.
Explore
Australia
My best friend lives in Melbourne, so Australia has a special place in my heart. It's one of my favorite trips to plan, from the cities to the Reef.

New Zealand
New Zealand is at the top of my own list to visit, and until I get there myself, I love planning it for my clients.

Honeymoons
Most of what I plan is honeymoons, and the South Pacific is where I love sending them.

Fiji gets me every time
At every resort I stayed at in Fiji, I felt the same thing: genuine love from the people who live there.
They opened their hearts to us from the very beginning. And when we left each property, we all cried. Every single time. We'd fallen in love with them, too.
Tahiti or Fiji?
They're 2 entirely different destinations. When a couple can't decide, here's the first thing I ask:
"What do you want to FEEL when you're there?"
Your answer tells me a lot, and that's where we start figuring it out together on our call.
Then we get practical. In Fiji, getting to your resort can mean a speedboat, a helicopter, a small plane, or a long, winding drive to the dock. Before I pick one, I'll ask if you get carsick and how you feel about small planes.
How I plan your trip
- 1
We talk first
Your trip starts with a complimentary consultation call, with both of you on it. There's no such thing as an email consultation.
- 2
I build it from the bottom to the top
Every property tops the last one, so your trip ends with a bang.

I handle everything
The things couples ask me about most are hotels, transfers, interisland flights, excursions, restaurant and spa reservations where they can be booked ahead, and providing a travel protection quote automatically — and that's only the biggest pieces. As a Virtuoso member agency, we can also get you VIP status at the properties I book.

We walk through it together
About 30 days before you go, we do a step-by-step overview call, so you know exactly what's happening, who to call, and where all your documents are.
South Pacific questions, answered
Is Tahiti or Fiji better for a honeymoon?
It depends on what the two of you want to feel when you're there. That's the first question I'll ask you on our call.
How much does a South Pacific honeymoon cost?
Most of my South Pacific honeymoons start around $17,000. Every trip is built around the couple, so I don't send sample itineraries. Exact pricing comes after our consultation, once we begin planning and I can get real quotes for your trip.
Do you plan trips to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii?
Yes! I plan trips to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. I've been to Maui and the Big Island myself, and New Zealand is at the top of my own list.
Do you plan trips outside the South Pacific?
Yes! The South Pacific is my specialty, and it's usually how couples find me. I also plan Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, South America, Japan, Thailand, cruises, and more, whether it's your first trip with me or your fifth.
