hello!
I’m Onanta Forbes and travel defines who I am. It has influenced me with wanderlust, in fashion, and with food. It has heightened my senses, tested my character, and deepened friendships.
I have been a part of the travel industry since 1985 starting as a travel consultant, to travel agency leader, and travel expert featured in print, TV, radio, and social media.
Born in Jamaica, emigrated to Canada in 1969, specializing in cruise travel, luxury travel, and destination celebrations. My goal is to combine luxury and rich cultural engagement.
I like everything about travel from planning the trip, to the excitement of going to the airport to touchdown where I can explore and embrace the destination(s). I love the colour of travel, the memories I create, the experiences I get to try, and dreaming about my next trip.
I have a deep passion and find joy in travel, food, and fashion which I look forward to sharing with fellow explorers.

Client Testimonials
We had an amazing trip. Everything went perfectly. Actually the trip exceeded our expectations. Our contact Marija was awesome. She kept us updated with real time information on drivers boats etc.
All of the tours were great, we enjoyed everything. I must say we “loved the wine & the food”. Croatia is a beautiful country, so much to see & experience. Every island was unique, so glad we did the coast. It gives us an excuse to go back one day. 😎
We so appreciate your experience & the care you put into planning our trip.
We highly recommend Onanta as a travel agent. She helped us to plan a family vacation to Europe over a year in advance. Onanta answered all our questions in a timely manner and never left us guessing.
She acted as a liaison for us with the cruise company we used and with a company specializing in travel in Italy which was incredibly helpful. She is extremely accessible, thoughtful, reliable and informative. She worked very hard for us and went above and beyond what we expected from a travel agent.
We will use Onanta for all of our trips in the future and we are so glad we found her!
