Aloha Travelers! A group of volunteers from Sex Positive World are super happy to be organizing our 8th Annual Hawaiian Vacation. For the past 7 years, we have alternated between traveling to the Big Island and Maui.  This will be our first year vacationing in Kauai!  We will be at a private rental property near Princeville with a large pool and a hot springs fed hot tub on 5 acres secluded enough for nudity on property with miles of trails just off property minutes from Kilihiwai Bay, Secret Beach, Anini beach and Hanalei Bay.

​

Our reservations are from Sunday, February 1st - Friday, February 6 making it easy to plan your own additional adventures the weekend/week before and after.

​

​To be able to settle into an intimate, connected experience together, our volunteer vacation organizers will be interviewing everyone interested in returning to this vacation with us or coming for the first time and extending invitations to attend.  We have room for up to 18 people (14 on site at the airbnb and room for up to 4 more people who either live on Kauai or are choosing to stay at the nearby accommodations and join us during the day and in the evenings).

We are looking for vacationers who can treat the wonderful property we are being entrusted with with love and care and can vacation well together.

 

Activities: We will plan together the excursions we are most interested in and how to best enjoy our time together over monthly Zoom calls leading up to the vacation.  These Zoom calls also serve as a great way to all get well connected before we arrive to better be able to enjoy each other's company all vacation long.

​

Food: While we will likely cater out a meal or two and will definitely eat out many times enjoying everything Kauai has to offer, there will also be meals where we all take roles in shopping, cooking and cleaning. Shared meals and snack food on property will include adequate gluten-free and a wide variety of protein options to accommodate both omnivores and vegetarians. 

​

​Finances: Last year we collected $300 – $350 per person (due after the event), to cover group costs of event insurance, group food and supplies.  Flights from the west coast run between $300 and $600 round trip from the US mainland (due 3 months before the event). Accommodation costs will depend on which sleeping arrangements you choose, that usually range from $900-$1800 for the whole week (Due December 31st). Those of us who can afford to rent cars as part of our vacation experience make our cars available to everyone to give rides to and from the airport and to the local towns and beaches, if we need additional cars that cost goes into the shared group costs.

To help keep the costs down and vacation value up, everyone gives something to the experience that makes this vacation time together special, helping to prepare food, keeping things tidy, giving a little extra so others can afford to come, if you are able, etc.

​

No one is paid to organize the event. We will be sharing our knowledge and talents with each other and giving each other the space and time to be our most authentic selves.

​

If you have the desire to be a part of this vacation but your funds are tight . . . we want you to be able to join us! We have funds set aside for people active in an SPW chapter, community members who do much needed work in the world that is lower pay, our members who are part of marginalized groups and people in special circumstances.  

INTERESTED?

Please fill out this Waiting List Survey.  We will begin interviewing and accepting interested vacationers in mid August and will not be adding any new vacationers past the end of December 31 so everyone can be a well connected part of this group of vacationers. 

Things to know before you apply:
Our vacation organizers have made the decision to continue past practices of reserving this trip for people that already have years of experience in sex positive community, having been active for some time in one or more of our chapters.  We will also be asking everyone accepted on this trip to be COVID vaccinated and we have learned from previous years experience to also ask that everyone be current on COVID vaccine boosters.

Holding this event just for people who share similar health practices and level of experience in sex positive community makes a huge difference in how the event goes for everyone who attends. We are happy to support the planning of other regional and destination sex positive vacations that offer more options for unvaccinated and newer members and guests.   Please contact us at info@sexpositiveworld.org with any interests that you have to be a part of a different vacation planning team.
