Even in the age of online booking, travel professionals are a great source of information and value. A travel professional can make sure that your trip is tailored to you, assist you in case of unexpected problems and help you anticipate potential issues in advance.
Our fees are transparent. Professional Travel Advisors are trained to save you time and money by asking the right questions to determine the best vacation to fit your personal interests and budget. We guarantee to provide the absolute best value for your vacation dollar and in most cases, we can save you more money than you would have been able to save yourself. While planning a major trip, the average person visits over 20 websites and spends well over 10 hours researching vacation ideas and that is before attempting to put the plan into action. How much is your time worth?
No. We do not charge fees for resorts, tours or cruise vacation packages. Our compensation comes from the Travel Suppliers and Vendors that we work with so they pay our salary, not you.
For customized vacation planning and group travel of 5 travelers or more, a Research and Planning Fee will be assessed. We also offer Travel Concierge Services which is an upgraded, high-touch travel experience. Applicable fees will be disclosed during the initial consultation and are paid prior to commencement. H-Squared Travel and Adventures will always do our best to work within your budget, while focusing on getting you a solid value in return for our fees.
While we can technically book all components related to travel, we choose not to book domestic vacations (with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, Las Vegas, NV and any US Territory) or Flight Only / Hotel Only requests. We also will not book with companies that does not have a strong working relationship with the Travel Industry. (i.e. some small bed & breakfast properties, Air BnB, VRBO, Homeaway, etc.) Our priority is making sure that you have a successful, stress free and value packed vacation experience which means working only with reputable companies that have been vetted by the travel industry and have proven to offer exemplary service for our clients.
If you wish to travel during peak season for your destination, booking as early as possible is key. There's often an Early Booking incentive when you book 3 or more months in advance. If you have specific requests or interests – a special suite with a view or an overwater bungalow with a splash pool, perhaps – booking 6 or more months is strongly recommended. Further still, many popular destinations and cruises sell out up to a year in advance so once you know where and when you want to travel and you are able to secure your plans – don’t procrastinate! Contact us so that we can secure those plans!
You could, by why would you unless you like being "just another number"? If something goes wrong while you are in-destination, do you want to deal with an automated phone system and/or wait on hold for a random call center rep. to come on the line and try to assist you OR would you rather the personal attention of a travel professional who is not only familiar with every detail of your itinerary but who has direct access to the suppliers and vendors used and has the backing of the entire Travel Industry to help quickly and efficiently solve your problem? In addition to the personal connection and having someone on the ground that's looking out for you before, during and after your vacation, there are many other benefits of booking through a Travel Professional. For starters, we often have access to package rates and payment plans that are not available when you book yourself. Also, by using an independently owned travel agency you are also supporting a local business. Book locally, travel globally!
Unfortunately, no. If you plan to use miles and/or points, you must book directly with the airline, hotel and/or vacation desk that manages your points. Our Professional Insight and Services are only for clients that will be booking all components of their trip with us directly.
Yes! H-Squared Travel and Adventures is certified to book all travel-related components of your vacation and for qualified candidates, offer flexible monthly payment options through Uplift Pay Monthly. Uplift Pay Monthly is a unique monthly payment solution that enables travelers to spread the cost of their Dream Vacation out over time with fixed monthly payments. BOOK NOW & PAY LATER!

Yes! Do you have an upcoming conference for your business, planning a family vacation or a friends get-away? H-Squared Travel and Adventures can handle the details and ensure that you have access to group entry, seating and special promotions.
The simple answer is – we don’t! If you want to buy a trip from one of these sites and are comfortable with having zero assistance before, during or after your trip, that is entirely up to you. We find that in most cases the “deals” are really not that discounted, use sub-standard accommodations, come with heavy travel restrictions or have substantial financial add-ons. So just be careful and make sure you read all of the fine print before you purchase.
We provide a professional service offering advice, insight, logistical prowess and access to over 75 years of travel knowledge. We know the right hotels, the right airline connections and what makes the most sense logistically to make sure you get the most out of your hard-earned vacation time. There is no website or “app” that can do what a Travel Professional can do for you. Without a Travel Professional, you are truly on your own.
We are available via email 24/7. Our phone hours are Monday - Thursday, 9am to 6pm PST. We respond promptly to emails received at
