FAIRMONT ORCHID, BIG ISLAND

Discover Extraordinary Adventures at Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii’s Luxury Haven

LUXURIOUS OCEANFRONT RESORT

Indulge in Diverse Wonders at Fairmont Orchid

From the Orchid you can go from sun worshipping on the beach to star gazing on a snow-clad mountain. From fishing Hawaiian-style to watching turtles on the beach.

Beneath your feet, the sand is jet black. Basking beside you is a green sea turtle. You’re on Punaluu Black Sand Beach, close to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, just a couple of hours from the Fairmont Orchid on Big Island. Along the road is another geological oddity – a beach with fine green sand, actually powdered lava known as olivate.

But weirdly coloured sand isn’t the only surprise in store if stay at the Fairmont Orchid on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Hawaii. You can also experience floating yoga, or learn how to make a lei. You can fish from traditional canoes and visit petroglyph fields. You can go scuba diving or snorkelling, hike to see ancient caves and work your way through a choice of six fine restaurants.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
