Our 50th Anniversary: What to do for a very special journey together? We had differences as to a destination so Susan Tanzman, at Martin’s Travel solved this problem, as she has in the past, by creating another exceptional experience for us to enjoy.

Fiji. Why Fiji? Susan recognized our travel desires from prior trips and conversations and knew these islands would satisfy both our wishes for time alone, our need for physical activity and our desire to see and understand the local people and culture. 

How? The numerous islands of Fiji offer different tropical settings: from the more lush and  flowery high forests and secluded beaches which we experienced at the amazingly private and friendly Savasi Island Resort near Savusavu, with a fabulous chef, to the more open drier island of Yasawa with its incredibly white beaches, coconut palms and multi-hued water. The Yasawa Island Resort offered privacy and multiple activities including snorkeling, diving or boat trips to remote beaches with champagne lunches and hours alone. 

Susan’s selection of resorts more than met our individual needs. We will never forget the local Fijian people, their friendliness, and sincere desire for us to enjoy their country and culture. We were met by local representatives at each arrival or for departures, alleviating any concern as to where we went next. 

An Island alone with only the sounds of waves and occasional coconuts falling, exploring, meeting the people and the natural beauty left us with  feeling of how can we be so lucky to have had this exceptional experience? 

Thank you Susan and Martin’s Travel for your knowledge, skill and attention to our needs.
