Meet Joni, one of our travel experts for Fiji.
|
Born in the Southwest, raised in the Northwest, I have called the South Pacific home for over 30 years. I founded J2 Travels in the late 1990s to share our knowledge with other like minded travelers – remembering always, that the joy is in the journey. I currently live on Maui, I'm endorsed by IATA, and am a member of the Fiji, Tahiti and New Zealand Tourism Boards.
Testimonials from Joni's clients:
"I want to say a big THANK YOU!! We had the most amazing time on our trip. Everything was wonderful. We absolutely loved Queenstown. We took the bus out to Milford Sound and then took a helicopter back as you suggested. It was raining the whole way out there but then the rain disappeared so we saw so many waterfalls it was breathtaking! We also went horseback riding in Glenorchy (well, I did – Pete got sick!) and that was amazing. The drive out there was beautiful and the ride itself was really fun. We tried to go skydiving but unfortunately it cancelled twice because of the winds. We also went jetboating,and spent a lot of time in the restaurants and bars in town. We then spent a few hours in Nelson and went out to Bleinhem for a day and did some wine-tasting, which was a lot of fun. When we were in Motueka we spent sometime relaxing and then did an 8 hour kayak/hike through Abel Tasman, which was truly amazing…and tiring! We spent a lot of our time in Rotorua just hanging out at the hotel and relaxing because it was just so beautiful, but we did go to hell’s gate which was really neat. In Auckland we spent a day walking around and then played golf one day. We also went to dinner at the Mudbrick restaurant in Waiheke which was great.
And on to Fiji...it was amazing! We loved Tokoriki. It was a beautiful spot and the Fijian people that worked there were so warm and friendly. The honeymoon bure that we stayed in was absolutely amazing, and we spent a lot of time just hanging out in our plunge pool. We also went snorkeling a few times, which was great. The food was also really good. As for the seaweed, there was definitely a fair bit of seaweed around and a slight smell of it, but it really wasn’t a big problem. After the first day we didn’t even think about it. I would definitely recommend Tokoriki to others, and would love to go back someday.
Thank you again for all of your help. We will definitely let our friends and family know how great you were when they head off to NZ / Fiji!

Testimonials from Joni's clients:
"We had a fantastic time in Fiji. Qamea was particularly wonderful-rustic, authentic, beautiful, and communal. Staff members were incredibly friendly and always very accommodating. Namale was spectacular and definitely more upscale. Our bure was so elegant and we had a private deck overlooking the ocean that was phenomenal. We appreciated the remoteness and feel of Qamea over Namale, however, so we were delighted to have been there longer. I would certainly recommend Qamea to anyone traveling to that area of the world.
Thanks again for arranging this remarkable trip. It was incredibly unique and one we will remember always. We're both grateful to you.

Testimonials from Joni's clients:
"The Four Seasons Maui and your recommendations for the other island resorts we visited were wonderful. The Four Seasons Maui is impeccable, as we also enjoyed the Halekulani on Oahu and the Hyatt at Poipu on Kauai.
Thank you so much for your attention to detail, your availability every step of the way planning our honeymoon and assisting our guests. Your surprise gifts to us and our guests were extra special touches, and I can't rave enough about you. Even through the most stressful times I endured, you always kept your calm and made sure we were taken care of. You went above and beyond for us, going to the Four Seasons to take pictures of the construction before we got there for the wedding so we would be prepared, calling around to local stores to help me find items for gift baskets, giving us the scoop on where to shop, eat, etc.-all in such great detail as well!
You really are a true, experienced travel agent that doesn't just book trips, but travels to and knows the areas and resorts in which you book your clients and you become a trusted friend. It is with the utmost gratitude we write this in appreciation for everything you did to help make our honeymoon dreams come true for us and our guests.

Testimonials from Joni's clients:
"We are now home and slowly acclimating to reality. We had the most fabulous time on our holiday and want to thank you for seeing to it that every little detail was well planned, organized, and executed. We feel you really listened to our desires and planned "THE PERFECT" holiday...thank you so very much. We will definitely call you again and have recommended you to several of our friends. It is obvious that you really know both New Zealand and Fiji as I'm sure you know the other locations you book for your clients, I especially liked how you found locations that were less "touristy" and more reflective of the countries we were visiting...just as I requested. Thank you!"

Testimonials from Joni's clients:
"Kurstan and I had the most amazing time on our trip to Maui. The wedding went off without a hitch, even though when we arrived at the house that we rented for the occasion there were hurricane strength winds. They died down in just enough time to get the flower circle in a perfect place overlooking the ocean and everything went according to plan. The ceremony was thoughtful and such a happy time for us as well as Kurstan's mom and Jack who seemed pleased with the arrangements as well.
As for the honeymoon, that was a vacation of a lifetime. I have never been as happy as I was on this trip. The hotel was lovely and the service was fantastic. Our room was more spacious than I imagined and the view was breathtaking. The hotel itself was beautiful from the lounges to the restaurants to the pool area to the beach. The beach was the best that we saw on the island.
Also, Joni, you were so helpful in getting everything arranged with us and Kurstan's mom. It was difficult for us not having ever been to Maui figuring out where to stay and what to do, but you were more than helpful in making this a trip that will be remembered throughout our lives. What a way to start a marriage!
And, thank you for the champagne you sent to our room upon our arrival. It was such a great way to start our trip.
Thank you so much for everything, and we'll definitely contact you for any help we need with travel in the future.

Spa treatments can be arranged in-villa. A treatment bed is setup on your private deck where you'll enjoy the sounds of the waves lapping the beach. The Remote Spa menu is authentically Fijian, incorporating treatments that have been thoughtfully designed to capture the essence of the South Pacific and incorporate Pure Fiji products. Our handcrafted signature experiences are designed to showcase the natural beauty of the people and places of remote northern Fiji. Examples include hiking to untouched waterfalls, rowing down freshwater creeks, cruising Viani Bay for a beach picnic and snorkeling with the Manta Rays off Rabi Island. The daily signature experiences are dependent upon the prevailing tides, weather and local happenings. You can let us know what you're interested in on your pre-arrival survey so we can try to plan for those experiences during your stay. - Guided snorkeling on Nukuni house reef - Right off the beach in front of the resort you'll find the Nukuni reef. There is an abundance of marine life including hundreds of tropical fish and varieties of coral stretching from one end of the peninsula to the other. Our team will guide you in a snorkel tour from the jetty to explore the world beneath the waves. Snorkel gear provided.
- Rainbow reef guided snorkel tour - A guided snorkel tour on the Rainbow reef, the soft coral capital of the world and home to over 25 dive sites featuring abundant colorful fish and marine life in warm, tropical waters.
- Snorkel with the Manta Rays - Snorkel with the Manta Rays just off Kioa Island, a breathtaking experience.
- Vanua Levu waterfall excursion - Boat to a nearby village and then set off for a car ride to the top of the mountain. Once on foot you'll be hiking on a rarely-used path through the forest to find a little-known waterfall. There'll be a chance to take a dip in the refreshing water.
- Hidden beach kayak and picnic - A short kayak around the headland will land you on the hidden beach. We'll deliver lunch and you can enjoy a snorkel or just swing in the hammock on your private beach. Call us when you're ready to return.
- The coconut & pina colada show - The Remote team is delighted to present a Coconut 101 where they will show you the many ways the humble coconut tree is used in everyday life in Fijian villages. The show culminates with the creation of our very own Nukuni Pina Colada with pineapples freshly picked from the garden and coconut milk straight from the tree.
- Sing-song and kava ceremony - Song and ceremony is an integral part of Fijian life. Join our serenader as he plays some tunes and share a bowl of kava. All instruments and voices welcome!
- Taveuni insider day trip - The day begins with a 20 minute boat ride over to Taveuni where you'll meet your driver. First stop: The 180 degree Meridian line. The date line runs right through Taveuni meaning that each new day starts exactly here. The Wairiki Mission Church is also a must-see in Taveuni, the Catholic Church was built in 1907 in honor of a French missionary who successfully advised Taveuni's warriors in how to defeat invading Tongans in a major battle. Fijians are known for their beautiful a cappella singing (Sunday services).
