Travel the way it was always meant to feel.
Who We Are
With 20+ years in the travel industry and deep roots across Fiji's islands, Renee and Konrad built Helava Travel to do one thing: design trips the way they should feel — listened to, looked after, planned by people who actually know the country.
Every journey we design is different. We listen first, then craft something that actually fits your life. Fiji and the South Pacific remain our deepest expertise; from there, we plan worldwide — and we handle every piece from first call to the last sunset.
What Makes Us Different
Four things we
stand by.
Fiji-born, worldwide concierge.
Helava started in Fiji and Fiji is still our deepest expertise. From there we plan trips everywhere — Japan, Italy, Kenya, Iceland, all of the South Pacific — with the same listening-first care we bring to our own islands.
Local knowledge, not research.
Renee was born in Fiji and has spent 20+ years in the travel industry. The recommendations you get come from people who have actually been, not from a booking engine.
No paid placements. Ever.
We don’t recommend a property because someone paid us to. We recommend it because we’ve sent a traveller there and they came back happy. Where we earn affiliate commissions, we disclose it — and the trip costs you the same either way.
Renee is the face; our team is the labour.
Renee is the named recipient on planning sessions and the WhatsApp inbox. For everything else — research, bookings, transfers, the small things — our team handles it. Everyone you talk to has met every other person on the team.
What We Do
Every kind of trip,
handled end-to-end.
“Fiji will always hold a special place in my heart, but my love of travel goes far beyond one destination. After more than 20 years in the industry, my promise is to help you travel with confidence, care, and personal support, wherever in the world you want to go.”

How It Works
From first message
to the last sunset.
What travellers say
Real journeys.
Real travellers.
“Renee and Konrad didn't just book us a holiday — they built us something we would never have found on our own. Eleven days, four islands, one of the best trips of our lives.”
“We told them our budget and our vibe and they came back with an itinerary that was better than anything we'd imagined. The local knowledge is genuinely on another level.”
“Fiji was always the dream but we didn't know where to start. The Find Your Fiji guide gave us exactly what we needed. Booked everything based on it and had zero regrets.”
“As a family of five we were nervous about Fiji logistics. They made it seamless. Every transfer, every island, every activity — perfect. The kids are already asking to go back.”
“Our honeymoon exceeded every expectation. The property recommendations were spot on — private, stunning, utterly romantic. We had no idea places like this existed.”
“I've been to Fiji twice before and felt like I barely scratched the surface. This time, with Helava's guidance, I finally understood the place. Completely different experience.”
