What is a Tiki Head?

What is a TIKI HEAD?

A "Tiki Head" is a person who LOVES to travel (for a great deal!) with a fun group of folks

& make many new friends (& bring theirs, too!) on exciting group vacation adventures around the world!

Being a "Tiki Head" comes with many special perks & fun things you will not find elsewhere...

TOP TEN REASONS TO BECOME A TIKI HEAD:

# 1 -- ALWAYS A GREAT PLACE! --

We at Tiki Trips care about the quality of our vacations we offer! Therefore, we always visit the location of our next possible vacation to ensure quality, prime location, fine facilities, good service, etc, for our next big trip. This way, we can tell you exactly what the hotel is like, what the food tastes like, the name of the bartender & best drink to order, hottest nightspot to visit, you name it! We make it our business to KNOW..after all, it IS our business! Experience is everything.

# 2 -- TRIP PERKS & V.I.P. TREATMENT! --

As veteran Tiki Heads will tell you, we always get the "red carpet treatment" when we arrive at our vacation destination! (Who doesn't like V.I.P. treatment?!). Trip perks vary, depending on location; here is an example of the fabulous extras we experience! From express check-in on arrival... to best-located rooms... to pre-arranged special dinner reservations (hard or impossible to get at many all-inclusive resorts)... to a specialty party suite in a prime location for our group... to private parties on the trip or cruise... we offer many extras you will not find anywhere else!

# 3 -- A WORRY-FREE GOOD TIME! --

We travel WITH all of our "Tiki Heads" group trips; therefore we are THERE, ON-SITE should you have a problem or issue during our trip. Though we plan the trip as perfectly as possible, situations beyond our control can (though rarely do) arise while on the trip, so we are your personal advocate & problem-solver on the trip. (We always pack our whip just in case!). You get to travel worry-free & let us handle it all!

# 4 -- PRE-TRIP PARTY! --

We have a special "Tiki Heads" pre-trip party for folks to meet & mingle with others going on the trip & pick up their tickets, too! Our pre-trip parties are usually held the Sunday night before the big trip here at our different favorite hotspots around the area. this is great for folks to meet & mingle with others going on the trip! You’ll get to meet new folks before you even get to the destination!

# 5 -- TRIP T-SHIRTS! --

For our really big "Tiki Heads" trips, we always have special t-shirts made just for our trip! These t-shirts are available at the pre-trip party to pick up along with tickets, & we order the size YOU want! We wear these to the airport on the day of our departure so we can meet & mingle with fellow Tiki Heads! These t-shirts are custom-designed, made just for our trip & are our GIFT to you!

FUN FRIENDS... GREAT FOOD... & GREAT PARTIES!

# 6 -- "FLEXIBLE" FUN! --

We are a "group" by professional definition only... by personal definition, everyone gets to do what they want on our trip! So don't let the "group" word throw you... we do not require that you do anything besides show up for the plane coming & going. The rest is up to you! Our groups are anywhere from 12 to 120 people, usually 50-100, so we have lots of fun folks going... we have plenty of activities & parties & dinners & fun things to do while on our trips... be as involved or as solo & secluded as you like. The nice thing is, friends & fun are there when you want them!

# 7 -- POST- TRIP PARTY! --

How could we miss an excuse to have another party?! About a month or so after our trip, we get together once again to trade pictures, stories, & laugh about what a great time we had on our trip. After all, we made so many new friends on our vacation, we gotta keep the party going & stay in touch!

# 8 -- EXCLUSIVE OFFERS & "FIRST PICK" --

Because you are a Tiki Head, we offer YOU our very special trip offers FIRST on our exciting upcoming trips, well before they are announced to the "general public"... we also offer certain exclusive specials & perks to our "Tiki Heads" that no one else gets! It pays to be a "Tiki Head"!

# 9 -- ALWAYS A GREAT PRICE! --

We work very hard negotiating the best deal out there, so you can always rest assured that our price is very competitive, usually lower than anything you will find on your own for that time. Add that great price with all the benefits listed above & other extras we include, & you've hit the jackpot!

And last but certainly not least...

# 10 -- YOU ARE TRAVELING AMONG FRIENDS --

The majority of our "Tiki Heads" travelers are our friends or friends-of-friends referred to us over the years... therefore, you are among friends! We are a very welcoming, friendly, non-exclusive (non-snooty!) group who like to have a great time... we look out for each other on the trip... we include each other on outings & meals & activities... just like friends do. (Bailing persons outta jail not included!! ha ha). The "buddy system" rules with us! So if you are a rookie Tiki Head & don't know many folks (or anyone!), don't worry, you'll only be a stranger for about TWO minutes! WELCOME is the word!!

TIKI HEAD TESTIMONIALS:

"I want to thank you for a great trip! The resort was great, food was good, drinks were very nice..... but what makes a vacation a vacation for me is the people that I meet. Your group was awesome, and I met people that I hope to keep in touch with for years to come......or at least till I tick them off (ha ha)... so thank you for your help and for allowing me to attend!"-- Scott M.

"Kelly & I would like to thank you for arranging such a memorable trip. You have a real talent & we can always count on a good time in wonderful accommodations & fantastic agendas. We are very grateful we discovered you!"-- Dora Y.

"Had a wonderful time, thanks for the great Puerto Vallarta trip!" -- Kim G.

"Hello! I just wanted to thank you for everything that you did for us during the trip. I know that there is a lot of "behind the scenes" that you do to make our trip much more enjoyable for us. I just wanted you to know that we appreciated it. Thanks again. We had a great time" -- Sherri S.

“Hey Dena, I wanted to let you know what a great time I had on the Mexico trip. The whole group was a lot of fun, I know I'll become a regular on your trips! Thank you so much for all of the arrangements you had made for us, it was a fabulous time. I've already been talking up your future trips with friends and family, so I intend on bringing others with me on the next trip. Would it be possible for you to email me that picture of the liquor bottles on tap at the Riu resort? Pictures are worth 1000 words. Thanks again and I can't wait for the next trip!”-- Joe G.

"Thank you for the wonderful memories!" -- Cathy K.

"We had a FABULOUS time and loved the hotel. You made it so easy for us and everything went (or at least appeared) to go so easy. You made it such a smooth and stress-free vacation for us, and we really appreciate it. I was slightly leery at first about not having to spend any additional money once we got there, but it was absolutely TRUE (all inclusive) - however I did indulge in some spa treatments on my own accord. Thank you so much for such a relaxing time and your sweet demeanor! Hope to be joining the TIKI HEADS on future trips!"-- Betty B.

"Thanks again for organizing such an awesome trip. We had so much fun!" -- Krista H.

"I love to travel and am so glad I met you and a group of Tiki Heads last December at the Palace of Versailles (outside Paris, France). I've always wanted to travel with a group, but didn't know how to get involved in such a group. The Tiki Heads are awesome! What a dream come true! Now I get to go on quality trips with affordable prices. Best of all, I get to travel with fun people, the Tiki Heads! Dena, you do a great job of organizing these trips for us. Costa Rica was so much fun!!! I'll be travelling with you guys again to Playa del Carmen and am looking forward to another fun trip!!! Thanks, Dena! You are the best, most organized travel agent I've ever known. I'm so glad to be a Tiki Head!" --MiQuelle K.

"Thanks for everything. Costa Rica was incredible!" -- Chris C.

“I just want to pass along my THANKS and COMPLIMENTS for the wonderful trip we took to Ocho Rios. The resort exceeded my expectations and was truly lovely. The food service and atmosphere were perfect, not to mention the beautiful beaches!! As I've showed my photos to friends, they have all expressed interest in going with me the next time! Thanks, again, Dena! Kind regards”-- Amy V.

"There is no other travel agency who hosts pre-trip and post-trip parties for group travelers to get to know each other and then celebrate pictures. I travel a lot for business, so when I choose to travel for pleasure, you take care of all my needs so I can enjoy my time off. When I book through your agency, I can rest assured there are no surprises. If there are unfortunate circumstances, they are resolved efficiently to my satisfaction. You uncover excellent deals to exotic locations through your extensive network and personal travel experience. Thanks so much for all you do. I look forward to many more trips throughout the years".-- Mark P.

"Hi Dena, I just wanted to drop a note of thanks for the wonderful experience in Paris. Your knowledge of the city, means of transportation, highlights, etc. made the trip even more spectacular than it would have been otherwise. Your enthusiasm was inspiring and only served to heighten my appreciation of the art that is Paris. Truly an experience I will not forget. I've attached a picture I thought you might like to have."-- Linda A.

"Dena, Puerto Vallarta was amazing. Tim and I had a blast. Thanks" -- Linda M.

"Dena, I sincerely appreciate your attitude and your smile. I would like to share something... the first time I met you (Tiki Heads group trip), my husband had just passed away. I wanted to die and crawl into a hole! My friend Mary T. would not let me. She's the one who arranged the trip to Jamaica. Your lovely attitude and kindness helped me through a very difficult time. Please remember, you make a difference! God be with you today! Warm regards"--

-- Connie P.

“I just wanted to say it was a great trip you planned and organized, and I am so thankful I found your website. I had a great time and looking forward to going on another trip again. See you next time”-- Marie S.
