Join the staff of Kauai Photo Tours for an incredible island experience. You’ll be taken to one gorgeous setting after another to take photos at Kauai’s most picturesque locations. All tours are guided by professional Kauai photographers.

Kauai Photo Tours takes the guesswork out of where to go, so you don’t waste precious vacation time driving around trying to find the scenic spots. This tour is perfect for photographers and sightseers alike … while photography information is often a topic of discussion, this is first and foremost a tour that takes you to scenic locations rather than a technical photography seminar. Your guide will take you to these special places, and give insight into the best angles and techniques to maximize the quality of your photos.

Tour Options

TOUR 1 – Drive-n-walk Tour: This is the most popular tour and visits the most photo sites … up to 12 scenic spots in a 5.5 hour tour. The tour normally covers the eastern and northern sides of the island of Kauai, and while some locations are a little off the beaten path, this is a tour with a modest amount of walking at each stop. Snacks and drinks are included and a brief stop is made where lunch is available for purchase.

TOUR 2 – Moderate Hiking Tour: This more active tour involves some longer hikes at a few locations.  If weather permitting, you may walk to a secluded waterfall. This tour normally covers the eastern and northern sides of the island of Kauai but because more time is spent hiking it does not go as far north as Tour 1. Up to 9 scenic spots are visited on this tour. Snacks and drinks are included and a brief stop is made where lunch is available for purchase. Please be aware that some areas of the hikes are on uneven surfaces.  This tour is for active, fit, healthy individuals.
