Overview

The owner is an avid photographer, and astrophotographer. This tour will specialize in doing photography while touring the island. As any photographer knows, Golden Hour for photography is during sunrise or sunset when the light makes for great contrast. We will work with you to decide a start time that could include sunrise or sunset, whose times vary by about an hour throughout the year. We can work with you to determine a start time. This is a private tour, so you get the tour guide, and tour van to yourselves for up to 8 hours, similar to our regular tour of the island, but this one specializes in photography.

We provide Private, Custom, tours of the island of Oahu. You can set the itinerary or leave it up to our expert guides, or a mix of both. We've been giving tours since 2012. We like to start our island tours at 8:30am.
