What to do and see in Oahu, Hawaii (HI): The Best Photography Tours

April 15, 2022 Lean Nau

The Hawaiian island of Oahu is a surfer’s paradise, with swelling waves that can reach epic heights. No wonder, then, that it’s the site of one of the world’s premier competitions, the Triple Crown of Surfing. If hanging ten isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the beautiful beaches – particularly famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Art connoisseurs will appreciate the annual Hale'iwa Arts Festival, a celebration of local crafts, painting, jewelry, sculpture, dance, and music.

John is AWESOME!!! We had SUCH a FABULOUS time doing our Engagement Photo Shoot with John in Hawaii last month. From the moment he picked us up at our Hotel in Waikiki, I knew we were in good hands. He made us feel really comfortable from the get-go and we are really pleased with how all the photos turn out. I would highly recommend using John for your couple photo shoot needs. What a Great Experience! We plan to take more pictures with John the next time we are back visiting Oahu!

We had a wonderful day on the tour with Alex today. He showed us so many amazing sights and helped us capture them all in the perfect picture. Getting up early to see the beauty of the sunrise was definitely worth it! Alex also shared his vast knowledge of the history of the island which made the trip even more interesting. I highly recommend this experience to anyone coming to Hawaii that wants to see the beautiful sights that are not the typical tourist traps.

Alex was amazing, super friendly, very imaginative of the pics that are about to be delivered. I didn’t know how those 2 hours passed, it was casual, Alex made us feel comfortable. Best photographs, post editing was amazing.. they were better than our wedding pics.

We were looking for a way to make sure we were able to get on the Arizona Memorial and tour all of the Pearl Harbor Historic sites. Blue Hawaii was outstanding in accomplishing all our objectives for our visit to Pearl Harbor. Marie was top notch and very knowledgeable plus she made the tour very fun. She took an interest in what we wanted to see right from the start and adjusted as we went. We were with her for two half days which was perfect for seeing other sites after the tour. Marie also took some beautiful pictures for us that I've incorporated into our picture books. All in all we couldn't have been happier with the overall experience!
