We studied adventure tourism from the inside.
OutVenture Media was built by a team who ran the tours, crewed the boats, and spent years on Kauaʻi understanding exactly why people book and why they come back.
Three years. Three types of operations.
I'm Sareh Michelle, founder of OutVenture Media. In 2021 I sold my e-commerce business and moved to Kauaʻi. I wanted something the mainland couldn't give me; a slower pace, real community, and a life lived outdoors. I took almost every tour I could find on the island, before I started working them. Zipline. Kayak tours. Sailing catamaran snorkel trips and dinner cruises.
The whole time I was guiding, I was studying marketing. But guiding gave me something that no schooling could: three years of casually interviewing guests on every tour. How did you find us? What made you book? Season after season, that research lives in every piece of content OutVenture Media creates.
“I used to guide the tours. Now I tell their stories.”
Story first. Planned on paper. Felt on screen.
Story first
Before the camera, the question: what does a guest need to feel to book? Every shoot starts there.
Planned on paper
Brief, script, shot list, mood board and schedule, shared with you before the day.
Felt on screen
Natural light, people in motion, the moment as it happened. Nothing posed, nothing stock.
A small elite crew, assembled per shoot.
OutVenture assembles a small elite crew per shoot, and a network of creators for social content.
