They did a great job on the accommodations and vendors. All first class. We spent a little too much time traveling from place to place, but overall, a great time.

We had a great trip. They provided us info we never worried have known, saved us tons of planning/confused internet time for a completely reasonable price. 100% worth it if your planning an AUS trip.

Down Under made it extremely easy for …
Down Under made it extremely easy for my wife and I to plan our honeymoon. With expertise of the foreign countries we wanted to visit, they provided excellent recommendations and suggestions. Best of all, it was stress-free to finalize our itinerary and we had no hiccups ever while we were travelling.

New Zealand and Bora Bora Honeymoon
The honeymoon trip that DUE planned to New Zealand and Bora Bora was amazing. DUE's experience and recommendations in New Zealand helped to plan a once in a lifetime trip. We had just the right amount of time in each city and the flights and activities were perfectly planned. The activities were spaced out such that we were able to explore the cities on our own. All of the activities that the DUE team recommended were unforgettable. Even the ones that we were a little hesitant about at first, turned out to be some of our favorite and most memorable. Once we arrived on our trip, the DUE team helped us rebook and rearrange activities cancelled due to weather. We definitely appreciated their help replanning so that we didn't have to spend our precious vacation time stressing about rebooking. I don't think that we could have planned such an amazing trip without DUE!

Shannon & DUE Gave Us A ROCKSTAR …
Shannon & DUE Gave Us A ROCKSTAR HONEYMOON!
If you do not want to read my novel of a review below here is basically all you need to know. For our honeymoon, we went snorkeling and scuba diving on the reefs of Fiji, went ice glacier hiking on the mountains of New Zealand, went Bungie jumping, went on wine tours and explored every inch of New Zealand. We took international planes, private puddle jumping planes, helicopters, boats, trains and had a rental car.The amount of planning that went into the logistics alone was worth it. Every detail of our honeymoon was precisely planned to perfection. End of story: if you want a honeymoon or vacation (holiday) that your family and friends will talk about forever, do yourself a favor and book with DUE!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do I start ... First I will say if you are reading this review you are probably doing your due diligence and being cautious before jumping into something like myself. I must say at first I hesitated because it's 2018 and why do you need a travel planner when you can look everything up on Google and plan your own trip right? Well, I could not be any more wrong. Below I listed some of the benefits of Deep Under Endeavours.
1. Shannon: She is out of this world amazing. If everyone who works at DUE is as precise and wonderful as Shannon you are in for a treat. My wife and I planned this trip over a year in advance. We must have asked Shannon an exhausting amount of questions via email, phone and video conference calls. Shannon was beyond helpful and always there to help when we had questions or concerns.
2. Expertise: Can you plan a honeymoon or big trip across the world by yourself; absolutely. . . Will it be as organized and precisely planned like DUE will offer; absolutely NOT! From the moment you start your adventure literally everything is taken care of. We actually booked our own flights and there were times that Shannon said, this is a tight connection; this airport security is great; it says it will take you this long but it actually takes this long; stop and check out this stop; don't forget to bring this; do you have dinner reservations for this night and so on.
3. Logistics/Planning: On our honeymoon, we took multiple planes, private boats, helicopters, private planes, trains and had a rental car. Everything was planned out perfectly. (i.e - When you get to this location, turn right and go through the sliding glass doors, there you will be picked up by xxx and will bring you to xxx where you will receive your voucher to get on your boat. You are already checked in but call this number to confirm, give yourself xxx amount of time before confirming. You will have xxx amount of time before your boat departs so check out this location that is within walking distance when waiting and etc.).
4. Price: I'm not going to lie. My master plan, in the beginning, was to pay the initial deposit, receive the travel itinerary and then plan everything myself. You cannot beat DUE prices, trust me, I tried. You pay for top-notch service as well as discounts on everything that is planned.
5. Do it: Seriously, you are still reading this? Just do it! My wife and I have the travel bug and cannot wait for our next adventure with DUE. Trust me, DUE will plan a trip is once in a lifetime (...or if you book multiple trips with DUE, a couple times in a lifetime :)
