Back for our second Beautiful Samoa Roadshow! 🇼🇸🌺

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, meeting new vendors, and seeing what deals we can secure for our ATM clients tonight.

I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities and experiences to bring back for you and yours. ✈️❤️

Day 6 – Pele Island 🇻🇺🏝️

Perfect weather finally made an appearance — and stayed with us all day! ☀️😂

About an hour’s drive from Warwick, followed by a quick 15-minute boat ride, and we were on Pele Island for a nice, relaxing day.

Some of the group jumped back on the boat and headed out into the middle of the ocean for some snorkelling 🤿, while the rest of us were quite happy staying dry on the island. 😂

We had a BBQ lunch along with some traditional Vanuatu food (similar to a hāngī) while a small local band played, did a cultural walk through the village, and then spent the rest of the afternoon just chilling. Cold beers for the adults, while the kids made full use of the kayaks, water and sunshine.

Our Pele Island tour included:
🏨 Pick-up & drop-off from our resort
🚤 Return boat transfers
🏝️ Island entry fee
🤿 Snorkelling
🍽️ BBQ lunch & traditional Vanuatu food
🌺 Cultural village walk
🛶 Kayaks & plenty of time to enjoy the island

Such an easy, relaxing day, and before we knew it, it was time to head back to the mainland. ❤️

Loved visiting Pele Island, and love that this is another Vanuatu experience we can now offer through ATM. 🇻🇺✈️

Day 4 🇻🇺 | Erakor Island Resort 🌴

Skipping Day 2 & 3 because honestly… all we did was chill, eat and swim. 😂 And I’m not mad about it!

Day 4 was my first site visit of the trip — Erakor Island Resort & Spa ❤️

A quick boat ride across to the island, and I got to have a proper look around the resort and see the different accommodation options available.

They have a great range of rooms catering for couples, families and larger groups, including:

🌴 Couples rooms - 1 king bed
🌴 Family Loft Rooms – 1 king bed downstairs + 3 single beds in the upstairs loft
🌴 Honeymoon Suite with its own plunge pool 😍
🌴 2-Bedroom Villa – all on one level, with 1 king bed, 2 single beds + a bunk bed
🌴 And the AMAZING 2 & 3-Bedroom Beach Houses — definitely a standout for families and groups!

One thing I loved was that every room has its own outdoor deck and beautiful views, so regardless of which room type you choose, you still get that island feel. 🌊🌴

This is exactly why I love doing site visits - I get to actually see the rooms, understand the layouts and work out which options would suit different travellers before recommending them to my clients. ❤️

And yes… Erakor Island Resort is now part of the ATM Family. ☺️

So if an island escape in Vanuatu is calling your name, get in touch and let me put together a quote for you. ✈️🌺

Working holiday things. ✈️🌴

Day 1 🇻🇺 | 13 adults + 8 kids!

We checked into our villa for the next 4 nights — although calling this place a villa almost doesn’t do it justice. 😂 Mansion might be more accurate!

We had the entire beach front property to ourselves, which included a 4-bedroom main house + two 3-bedroom beach houses. Between them: 10 bedrooms, 4 showers + 1 outdoor shower, 5 toilets, multiple living areas, kitchens/kitchenettes, full-sized fridges, a pool table, a full tennis court, and enough entertainment space for a whole village! 😂

And the pool… AMAZING! 😍 So much bigger than we expected, and although the weather wasn’t exactly on our side, rain or shine, those kids were IN THERE! 😂

Even with 21 of us, there was plenty of room for everyone to be together without feeling like we were on top of each other — exactly what you want when travelling with a big family or group. 🙌🏽

Definitely a property I’ll be visiting again, and one I’m looking forward to booking you and your family into next. 😉🇻🇺

Want this villa for your next family trip? Leave a message after the beep and we’ll get it sorted! 📞😂

10 days in Port Vila with a group of 21 - and a time was had! 🇻🇺❤️😂

In 10 days, we:

✈️ Caught 4 flights (Melbourne group with layover in Brisbane)
🏡 Stayed at 2 different accommodation options
🌴 Completed 2 tours
🏨 Visited 3 resorts for site inspections
🤝 Locked in 3 new resort contracts
✨ AND picked up a bonus tour/activity partnership from a lovely lady I happened to meet at one of the resorts!

All while travelling with a bunch of kids who, by the end of it, absolutely did NOT want to come home. 😂❤️

A little bit of work, a whole lot of good times, plenty of laughs, new experiences, new connections, and some beautiful memories made along the way.

Let’s take a look back at our last 10 days in Port Vila. 🇻🇺🙂

Fit check for ToSP. 🌺
2026 Beautiful Samoa Roadshow in Melbourne coming up in September, & Toktok Vanuatu in Sydney happening in October (first ever in Australia).
Should I stick to attending these events in Puletasi’s? 🤔

🌺 Treasures of the South Pacific 2026!

We had a great evening on Thursday at the Treasures of the South Pacific Roadshow here in Melbourne! ❤️

I got to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new industry partners, and hear directly from tourism representatives from across our beautiful Pacific region.

There is always something new to discover - new experiences, new products, new connections and, most importantly, new opportunities that I can bring back to my clients.

Attendees included reps from 🇼🇸 Samoa, 🇻🇺 Vanuatu, 🇫🇯 Fiji, 🇨🇰 Cook Islands, 🇹🇴 Tonga, 🇳🇫 Norfolk Island, 🇵🇫 Tahiti, 🇳🇺 Niue and beyond. Nights like this remind me just how beautiful our islands are and how much the Pacific has to offer. 🌺

I also loved reconnecting with some of the people I’ve met through past events, and putting faces to names of people I’ve previously only spoken to through emails and phone calls! 😂

A huge thank you to Pacific Tourism Organisation and Pacific Trade Invest Australia , along with major sponsor Fiji Airways , for bringing our South Pacific destinations and travel industry together for an enjoyable evening.

Every conversation, connection and little bit of knowledge gained helps me create even better travel experiences for the people who trust ATM with their journeys. ❤️

Yes. We’re still learning. Still connecting. Still growing. 🌏✈️
