Weeklong Eco-friendly Getaways to Include the Finest in Both Multi-sport Activity and Island Serenity


KAUAI, HAWAII, June 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kauai's locally owned Soul and Sport Ventures announced today the launch of the company's multi-sport adventure retreat series for women, to be held on the verdant North Shore of Kauai in Hawaii. The all-inclusive seven-night/eight-day packages run year-round, and features multi-sport activities, lodging at a private residence, and daily meals provided by an on-site chef utilizing locally grown and organic produce. Among the upcoming retreats are a "Girlfriend Getaway," which includes a full week of surfing, outrigger canoeing, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, ziplining, yoga, meditation, a Na Pali Coast hike and numerous other activities; and the Hanalei Surf Break, a surf camp at pristine Hanalei Bay, which includes a range of outdoor adventures in addition to a week of world-class surfing instruction.

"Our location here in beautiful Kauai, and our ability to offer so many different activities with accomplished instructors, are what set us apart in a growing industry of women's adventure retreats," said Ann Hettinger, founder and managing director of Soul and Sport Ventures. "But our primary goal is to share with our guests our tremendous respect and love for the island."

With an uncommon emphasis on community and an unparalleled depth of experience, the Soul and Sport Ventures staff offers a high caliber of instruction in a multitude of disciplines on land and on sea. The professional team includes four-time Olympian, Colleen De Reuck and her husband and coach, Darren De Reuck, who host seasonal running clinics; and surfing/paddling instruction from international competitive body boarder, Andrea Smith. Adventure races and additional special events with local and national partners will also be offered.

In a continuing effort to raise awareness about the delicate ecosystem on Kauai, Soul and Sport Ventures has partnered with Save Our Seas, an international Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) non-profit utilizing education and research to preserve, protect and restore the world's oceans for future generations. With a focus on education and outreach, Save Our Seas president and marine biologist, Captain Paul Clark, leads Soul and Sport Ventures' exclusive "Save Our Reef" eco-trip, a total-immersion course in ocean and reef education including hands-on activities.

"Creating these retreats has been a dream of mine for a long time. The idea grew from my love of the island and my belief in living in the moment," added Hettinger. "I have been fortunate to assemble a wonderful team of people who share my passion and excitement in offering our guests such an authentic, inspiring and profound experience."
