About Island Hopper Vacations:
Island Hopper Vacations commenced business in May 1990, in the premises now occupied by the Dive Shop with two staff, Robert Skews, the current Managing Director and Kathie Robertson. The name Island Hopper was taken from Air Rarotonga who had used that brand for some time to sell their outer island products. When they commenced operations in 1990, they decided to offer a new level of service and support that had been requested by many of the overseas wholesalers. They have now established a profile as one of the leading inbound operators in the South Pacific.
Island Hopper Vacations provides you with quality accommodation options, guided tours and excursions and many other services throughout the islands.
