What To Expect

Oahu

This unique, 8.5-hour photo tour begins in Waikiki with a hotel pickup in a spacious, air-conditioned van. The sunrise tour departs from the hotel an hour before the sun comes up, then a drive to a spectacular beach for a breathtaking view of the sun at dawn as it appears on the horizon with splashing waves and tide pools. After sunrise we stop for a quick breakfast and continue our tour stopping at numerous locations around the entire island of Oahu. Learn how to use light, and discover what framing, shutter speed, focal points and other important topics mean to composing a great image. Then explore the best places — and find the best angles — in which to take pictures on this breathtaking island. It’s the best of both worlds: a tour with an experienced local guide who shares their knowledge of the Hawaiian history and culture and a mini photo lesson with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world for a postcard-perfect sunrise. Along the way, learn about Hawaii’s history, its wildlife and the geography from the naturalist guide who is not only an expert in photography, but also a Hawaii insider with an in-depth knowledge of the island of Oahu. This photography tour is suitable for all skill levels — from beginners to advanced shooters, using everything from smartphones to high-end DSLR cameras. At the end of the tour, walk away with some incredible sunrise images, an abundance of professional photography tips that will last a lifetime and an appreciation of Oahu’s rich history and culture. This photography tour ends with a hotel drop-off in Waikiki.

I did the Sunrise plus Island Tour and this is a great way to see Hawaii, especially if you don’t have a car. There were only 4 people in our tour group which was perfect, and our tour guide Patti was knowledgeable both about the island and photography. You don’t need a professional camera, you can take some great photos with your phone camera. I do have a DSLR, but I am posting some phone photos.

Taking a tour with Blue Hawaii Photo Tours is a ‘must do’ whenever I pay a visit to the islands. This is the third tour I’ve taken over the years and it was every bit as good as I’ve experienced before. Marie and the others really take the time to adapt to the make up of the small group and is able to provide as much help as required to whatever level you’re at, whether that’s the occasional photo with a phone or the die-hard DSLR photographer or anything else in between. The tour and the easy-going style really enhances the experience and we definitely feel we are ohana by the end of the day. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

We absolutely LOVED the tour. Great way to see, taste, and drink your way around the less inhabited part of the island. Andrea, our guide, was just awesome! Highly recommend this tour!

Aloha, Oahu is quite a different place outside of Waikiki. We love showing off our beloved island to guests. Andrea is a terrific guide who enjoys sharing her knowledge of Hawaii history and culture, as well as her favorite off-the-beaten-track locations. Visit us again soon! Mahalo, Marie
