01 / Why we do this

The destination
is only the beginning.

It’s the people you travel with, the experiences you share, and the memories you bring home.

At Making Waves Adventures, we share a love of exploring the world and helping others experience it in a way that feels personal to them.

Together, we combine personal service with trusted partnerships and relationships with travel suppliers around the globe to create vacations that go beyond simply booking a flight, resort, or cruise.

We’re here to listen, guide, plan, and be a resource from the first idea until you return home. Because at the end of the day, we believe you should travel well, make the memories, and book the trip.

02 / The people behind the plans

Two perspectives.
One personal promise.

Your trip should feel like you.
Getting to know you is where we begin.

We booked a western Caribbean cruise going to Roatan, Honduras, Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. My daughter knew Linda and recommended we use her. This was our first time personally using a travel agent and we will use her for every trip!! Linda made the whole process simple while offering amazing tips and ideas that were personalized to our preferences. She even got us a room upgrade at a cheaper cost than if I were to have booked it without her. Every question we had she was immediately on top of it. Dealt with tedious tasks that took the headache off of us and let us just enjoy the trip!
J. ShippMaking Waves traveler
Ms Linda is literally the best thing we could’ve ever found while trying to book a trip. She ws very informative about the process from start to finish. She literally walked us through every step and even gave us several different options to select from. But most importantly she genuinely cared. She never made us feel like she was just trying to do a job. You can tell she legitimately loved helping us from the way she spoke, the advice she gave and just all around how helpful she was. We definitely will be using her again.
T. ColbertMaking Waves traveler
Linda was incredibly helpful when scheduling our vacation. She gave detailed instructions on what we needed to do and they were spot on. She also gave suggestions that saved us time and money. We will definitely be using Linda again in the future to schedule a trip!

This was my second cruise and it was a "Girls Trip". Linda set everything up including all of the details that I wanted. If there were any problems, Linda had them resolved quickly. I was completely satisfied with the hotel stay, ship and all details included in our package. I will definitely be booking with Linda again soon!

I had such a great experience working with Linda! She made everything so easy, answered all of my questions, and took all the stress out of planning our trip. I couldn’t recommend her enough, and I’ll definitely be using her again for future vacations!
