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.

Marie was a pleasure to be with. We have been to Oahu before but she took us to places we hadn't seen. Husband is a photographer and Marie had a few tips for him but she did wonders to help me improve my skills. We both got great pictures and had a wonderful time! Highly recommend.

My second trip to Oahu and my travel companion's first and I can't think of a better way to get to see the Island than spending the day with these guys. From the time you get picked up to getting dropped off, the day is about giving you a great experience. Marie and her team go above and beyond showing you many places you don't get to see with the other companies. Our private tour was designed just for us, from seeing the sun rise from the ocean, the beautiful local cafe for breakfast to the North Shore beaches and markets we had an amazing day and captured many amazing shots. It will be the first tour I book for my return visit next year.

I did the sunrise plus island circle tour with Jim. Extremely glad that I picked this one for my last day on the island. Jim is an extraordinarily qualified photographer who has worked for Animal Planet, Nat Geo and UC Santa Monica. He knows the most photogenic spots on Oahu and has an exceptional eye for composition. Purely as a small-group sightseeing tour, this was worth doing. As an iPhone user, I assumed that the photography instruction would be for people bringing fancy DSLR’s and that I would be snapping my usual pics once they confirmed I knew how to use panorama mode. Completely wrong - Jim quickly showed me a dozen things I never knew an iPhone could do, both in picture taking and post-processing. My photography game has been drastically improved, and I wish I’d learned all this years ago! Highly, highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu.

Aloha Chris, I'm glad your photo game is up a notch or two. That's what we love to do - Teach Photography with whatever camera you got. Iphones, Samsungs, or DSLRs. Great that the early meetup worked out. Mahalo for your kind words. marie
