Review of Smiley Fitness Retreats

Smiley Fitness Retreat’s site is easy to navigate, with tours categorized by theme and duration, providing details such as daily itineraries, accommodation options, activity levels, and pricing. Cat does an excellent job highlighting her expertise and personal journey, demonstrating her commitment to creating empowering experiences for all women. Nearly all of her tours take place in Whistler or Vancouver Island, British Columbia, with the exception of her 13-day trek in Nepal.

Accommodations are usually nice hotels, such as Westin and Marriott, but also include boutique lodges and private cabins. For Nepal, lodging is a mix of modern hotels and traditional tea houses (with 4 days of “roughing it” without showers).
