Tanya Hurley

With 14 years in the travel industry, Tanya has a reputation for seamless planning and calm support when things don’t go to plan. Clients describe her as proactive, responsive and endlessly patient. One couple’s round-the-world journey, covering seven flights, six trains and three cruises, arrived in a step-by-step folder that made every connection easy to follow. From the first chat until her clients return home, Tanya is their personal point of contact. “I take the time to understand what matters to each client,” she says. “It’s the thoughtful touches that make travel feel seamless and supported.”

Tanya has explored 29 countries and spent 105 nights at sea, but nothing compares to Antarctica. “Being surrounded by towering icebergs and incredible wildlife in such vast, untouched wilderness was unforgettable,” she says. Closer to the Mediterranean, she is drawn to Barcelona for Gaudí’s architecture, the Gothic Quarter and the relaxed pace of life. Egypt, Jordan and Morocco are next on her own wish list.

Away from the desk, Tanya volunteers at the Canungra local information centre, so she knows the value of local advice. Her top tip is to slow down: spend longer in fewer places and leave room for the moments you haven’t planned. “The best memories often come from the unexpected,” she says. If you’re ready to turn your bucket list into a journey, Tanya is ready to take the wheel.
