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.

The sunrise and island tour was an amazing time for my wife and I. We experienced the tour on our first full day, which provided two benefits. 1) Due to the 5 hour time difference, it was a lot easier to get up for the sunrise tour and 2) Seeing the island on the first day provided us with destinations to come back and visit throughout our week in Oahu. With the Blue Hawaii Sunrise and Island Photo Tour we were able to visit many sites around the island. Our tour guide Jason was a professional photographer and not only provided photography tips when needed but was also very knowledgeable about the island and the sites were were visiting. Since it was only my wife and I, Jason was very flexible with the schedule even allowing us to stop for shaved ice. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. You will not regret it!

Aloha, We are thrilled you enjoyed the spectacular Hawaii sunrise as much as we do. Every day looks a little different. Mahalo for your great tips to future visitors, although being adjusted to local time doesn't stop us from getting excited for sunrise tours! Jason is an excellent photographer and a terrific guide. It is always a pleasure showing our guests beautiful locations off the beaten track. Mahalo, Marie

My wife and I signed up for a private tour on our 25th Anniversary trip to Hawaii. I am an armature photographer, never did it for a living or made money as a photographer, just pursued it as a hobby. Marie at BHPT kept good contact with us prior to our trip and confirmed the day befor our tour. When Marie contacted us to confirm she offered the option of the sunrise tour (which I very much recommend) we got some truly spectacular sunrise shots and Marie offered some great tips especially to my wife who isn’t a photographer and usually just tolerates my hobby. We toured many great spots that the more basic tours don’t or can’t get access. The pace was great and the locations were all fantastic and something we wouldn’t have done or even known about on our own. Marie provided us with a great deal of the background and history of the locations we visited. It was an all over great experience and one I would definitely do again. I got some of the best photos of our two week trip on that tour. We also did a 2nd tour/hike the following day with Mandy which was great fun in the rain but that’s to be expected in a rain forest, she really knows her birds. I highly recommend Blue Hawaii Photo Tours.

Aloha Don, It was so nice meeting you and your wife! What a fun day. I am so happy that we were able to make your 25th Anniversary a time to remember. Mandy is also one of our best tour guides. She loved meeting both of you. Mahalo for recommending our tours. We would love to have both of you again on the island! A hui hou, Marie

I especially loved this tour because I am new to using a DSLR camera and found Marie to be invaluable with her tips and guidance. I have continued to carry these through and my photos have improved out of sight. The added bonus were the places we went and the sights we saw were absolutely beautiful, great for taking lovely shots.
