The vast and less crowded Nuku Hiva showcases spectacular natural wonders. Exploring the island lets you see everything from sharp basaltic cliffs with crashing waves to rich, green valleys.
Nuku Hiva also houses the enduring and tiny Taiohae. The incredible centre of the Marquesas Islands has a bay where sailboats and tattooed residents on horseback settle. Memorable attractions await you — numerous archeological sites, superb horse riding and hiking, and decorative handicrafts.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.
Lisa from Entire Travel Group organised our trip to French Polynesia including a cruise of the islands on Windstar. Her knowledge of the area is awesome, and helped us enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. I can't thank her enough for her guidance and support, her transport team on the ground were fantastic and made the trip effortless for us. Moorea and Bora Bora were spectacular, with unbelievable blue water fringed with coral reefs surrounding islands of lush green hills. If you are looking for an island holiday organised to perfection, give Lisa a call, she is already working on our next trip for us.
An Unforgettable Trip Thanks to Lisa! Lisa from Entire Travel Group absolutely nailed it when organizing our recent holiday to Fiji. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. She crafted an incredible itinerary for my wife and me, starting with the stunning Intercontinental, followed by the breathtaking luxury of Likuliku, and wrapping up at the vibrant Sheraton in Denarau. Every detail was perfectly arranged – flights, transfers, accommodation, and even activities. We got to scuba dive, surf, snorkel, explore, and indulge in some of the best food we've ever had. Lisa made sure everything ran smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing – just relax and enjoy. We’ve done a lot of travel over the years, and this was one of the best-planned trips we’ve ever been on. Lisa is a true professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a luxury getaway done right!
