Why specialists win

Most agencies treat your tour company
like they treat a resort.

Generalist agencies don't understand last-minute weather changes or your customers' specific booking cycle. They don't know the difference between a highlighted tour post that gets likes and one that actually gets bookings. They've never been on your tours.

We have. Get Growing Marketing was built by guides who have experienced adventure tourism first-hand.

Generalist Agency
Learns your industry from scratch
Ignores weather and seasonal booking shifts
Same template for tours, resorts, and restaurants
Has never been on a Hawaiʻi adventure tour
Measures likes. Not bookings.

We'd been through two agencies before Get Growing Marketing. Nobody understood what we actually do or why people book with us. These guys get it. Our reels actually look like Kauaʻi - because they were shot here, by someone who knows it.

Common questions

Quick answers

Who do you work with?+

We work exclusively with Hawaiʻi adventure tour operators - boat tours, helicopter tours, snorkeling, kayaking, zipline, hiking, and eco-tours across Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island.

How quickly can we get started?+

From signed agreement to first post live in 14 days. We move fast because we've built a tight onboarding process that doesn't waste your time.

Do you work with operators on all four islands?+

Yes - Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island. Kauaʻi is our home base, not our limit.

About Get Growing Marketing

We studied adventure tourism from the inside.

Get Growing Marketing 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.

Sareh Michelle - Get Growing Marketing
"I used to guide the tours. Now I tell their stories."

Three years. Three types of operations.

I'm Sareh Michelle, founder of Get Growing Marketing. 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 Get Growing Marketing creates.

I kept seeing the same problem.

Generic agencies posting beautiful, but shallow content. No origin story or connection to your company beyond just another fun thing to do. My goal is to make your audience feel seen, inspired, curious, and connected.

Content without strategy is just noise.
Authenticity outperforms polish - every time.
The best marketing starts with understanding why people book.
The people behind your brand

A small team that goes deep.

Common questions

About working with us

Do you only work with Kauaʻi operators?+

No - all four islands. Kauaʻi is our home base, not our limit. We work with operators across Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and the Big Island.

How many clients do you take on at once?+

A small number by design - every client gets real attention. We don't scale by adding account managers who don't know your tours.

What we do

Every service your social presence needs - built for adventure tourism.

We don't offer everything to everyone. We go deep on what actually moves the needle for tour operators.

"We don't measure success in likes.
We measure it in bookings."

Common questions

About our services
