Stress-free planning for

YOUR BIG ISLAND ADVENTURE

About Section

Aloha, I’m Jen

I'm longtime Big Island resident, mom, concierge with a deep passion for helping people create once-in-a-lifetime vacations on this truly one-of-a-kind island. As Your Big Island Concierge, I offer helpful and personalized travel planning, itineraries, activities for your upcoming stay to the Big Island!

For over 20 years, I’ve called the Big Island home. Living here and working in the travel and tourism industry has given me a front-row seat to the magic this island holds and I’ve made it my mission to help visitors experience that same magic in their own unique way.

Planning the perfect trip can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. With a background in life coaching, I naturally connect with people to understand their vision, their pace, and their travel style. I know how important these vacations are. Many people dream and plan for years to finally make it to Hawai‘i. Being part of that process is something I take to heart.

Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a concierge with top companies like Expedia, Hilton Grand Vacations and the Fairmont Orchid; Carefully matching guests with experiences that fit their needs and desires from relaxed beach days and local markets to helicopter tours, snorkeling with manta rays, lava viewing, and waterfall adventures and even 1-1 guided seaside meditations. By the end of their stay, many of my guests say the same thing: “That was the best trip we’ve ever had.”

“Planning a trip for a family of seven, including 5 adult children and 1 teenager, is no small feat, but Jennifer Connery made it feel effortless. She helped organize every detail of our family vacation to Kona, Hawaii, from suggesting and securing reservations at incredible restaurants to booking unforgettable excursions and suggesting hidden-gem day trips we would have never discovered on our own. Her knowledge of the island, along with her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, truly made this the best family trip we've ever had. Jennifer is smart, kind, and incredibly resourceful. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a trip to Kona or anywhere, really. She turned our vacation into an unforgettable experience.”
