How it all began
Skye Travel began with a love of exploring the world—and the belief that every journey should feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.
For founder Skye Kirne, travel has always been about more than just getting from A to B. With nearly 20 years of experience spanning leisure travel, corporate travel, conferencing, incentive programs, and emergency assistance, Skye has built her career around creating journeys that blend expert planning with once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
After years of working behind the scenes for global clients, Skye recognised that what people valued most wasn’t just a booking—it was a trusted travel partner who could unlock the best luxury stays, unique adventures, and seamless service that the internet simply can’t replicate. This passion led to the creation of Skye Travel, a boutique travel agency dedicated to crafting bespoke, high-end travel experiences tailored to each client’s needs and style.
To bring this vision to life, Skye has recruited a network of skilled travel experts and trusted partners, each bringing specialised knowledge to ensure every itinerary is exceptional. Together, the team works behind the scenes to manage every detail—whether it’s securing a private villa, arranging exclusive tours, or navigating complex travel logistics—so you don’t have to.
Today, Skye Travel offers 24/7 support, insider access to premium deals and upgrades, and personalised itineraries that allow travellers to focus on what matters most: enjoying the journey.
At Skye Travel, we don’t just plan trips—we craft experiences that are memorable, meaningful, and completely unique to you.
