"So many people asked me what
I did on Kauai for 10 days and wondered if I was bored.
My experience was the exact opposite of bored. From surfing to stand up paddle boarding to outrigger canoeing to night snorkeling to hiking the Napali
Coast, my time in Kauai was full of non-stop fun from dawn to dusk! In fact, Ann and her friends made me felt so at home, that I wished I could have
stayed longer. Not only did I have fun, this retreat helped me free myself from everyday life and reminded me to live fully! I left with a renewed
spark due to the breathtaking beauty and magic of Hanalei, but mostly because of Ann and her friends. She is marvel -- so full of energy, charisma,
and with a true passion for life. Mahalo, Ann, Soul and Sport Ventures and Hanalei, for a memorable and life changing adventure! I hope to see you
again soon!" -– Aloha, Amy
"I can’t thank you all enough for giving me the experience of a lifetime. From the second you picked me up, I felt like a long-lost friend, not a first time tourist. All the other guests and staff were so supportive, especially when we went out for our first surf lesson. It was so great when everyone jumped up and down yelling “Go Girl” and clapping as I stood up and caught my first wave. I still have goosebumps! I was a little nervous about the night snorkeling, but your marine biologist Paul quickly squelched my fears and introduced me to a mysterious underwater world , that I never would have had the opportunity to see elsewhere. The entire week was filled with so many great activities, great food and best of all the greatest people. Can’t wait to come back next year." – Katrina Richards, Phoenix, AZ
