Normally, these tour is routine style. It will be also ok if you wish to take pics efficiently. But I think this will be not interesting for you. Cause you must be love to see the great location and take beautiful many pictures of your travel memory. If tour guide too many rush, you can't take a good pictures. This tour guide/driver is professional photographer so you can receive good advice like great spot or which angle is the best etc. Besides he don't rush us like a usual business style. He is very friendly and keep us from being bored good person. Besides he took us beautiful pictures by his camera or your one also!!! That's amazingly happy moment for me. If you searching nice and unique photo tour, I will highly recommend you this "Blue Hawaii Sunrise Photo Tour" You must be love it☆
