    Tabatha Knowles’ 25 years of travel industry experience, and her own extensive travels make her the go-to for all your travel planning needs.

    “Whether it’s your first trip overseas, or you are an experienced traveller ticking off another item on your bucket list, I love helping people to create fun and enjoyable itineraries packed with “wow” moments that they will talk about for years to come,” says Tabatha.

    A passionate traveller herself, Tabatha lists some of her own travel highs include climbing 162 stairs up into the Crown of the Statue of Liberty in New York for a peek inside her metal head, travelling at an extremely fast 10 metres per second up the 829.8-metre-high Burj Khalifa for an elegant high tea, hot air ballooning over Dubai's desert, and floating above Singapore with a Singapore Sling in the iconic infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands. Back down at sea level, she also recalls the thrill of kayaking through New Zealand’s Milford Sound with a dolphin for company, experiencing a live volcanic eruption on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, enjoying a romantic gondola ride in Venice and relaxing in a glass-floored over-water bungalow in Tahiti.

    “I want my clients to have “wow’ moments just like these and pride myself on providing an exceptional customer experience, getting to know their personal tastes and preferences as well as any specific requirements, to craft tailored itineraries packed with one-of-a-kind experiences that perfectly fit their travel style,” says Tabatha.

    “I love making people’s travel dreams become a reality!”

    Get to know me

    What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

    I helped a young couple book their honeymoon to Fiji, and years later, they are amazing clients who have booked all their family holidays with me. I've even created a dream road trip across the US for their child's honeymoon! I love that I have been part of these client's lives as they grow together.

    What is your number one travel tip?

    Enjoy the adventure no matter what - there will always be unexpected things that come up when you travel. As long as you have your passport, visa, and money you can have fun anywhere.

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    I would have to say the USA as a whole, from New York through to Hawaii - it offers diverse landscapes, vibrant cities, rich cultural experiences, and iconic landmarks. From national parks and beaches to world-class museums and entertainment hubs, it’s a top destination for adventure, history, and relaxation.

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    I offer personalised, thoughtful recommendations that are tailored to their unique needs and preferences. Whether it's crafting detailed travel itineraries, offering creative solutions to challenges, or providing expert insights, I strive to anticipate needs before they arise and offer ideas that surprise and delight.
