Marie was in constant contact via text with us prior to our tour. We rebooked once due to the weather....She didn't hesitate to offer a couple alternative dates or a full refund. She picked us up at our hotel and we made our way to the East Coast, all the while being a terrific tourguide. We stopped at several locations as the sun rose and then she took us to several other of her favorite locations that had wonderful photo opportunities. She was also an amazing photography teacher, helping us use our iPhone to take amazing, memorable photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Marie and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.

I heard about this company when it was mentioned in an online Udemy class by Phil Ebelin. So I sought them out and signed up my husband and I up for the sunrise photography tour. It was great. I was the only one with a DSLR. Everyone else had phones only. But our guide Jenny offered great advice for both. They provided the tripod too. I got great shots and learned a lot about my camera as well as the pro photography features on my Samsung S22. My husnand is not into photography but enjoyed learning more about using his Google Pixel 6. The sunrise and Byoto photos we captured early in the morning were spectacular. The other 4 had Apple phones. Jenny gave a lot of personal attention to all 6 of us on the tour. She knew her stuff I would highly recommend this company!

Totally worth it! It is so much more than an exceptional sunrise. Marie was on point with making sure everything was going smooth prior and after the tour. Our tour guide Nelson was amazing, very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Would I do it all over again? Absolutely! I am recommending everyone I know to visit Hawaii and choose Blue Hawaii for the tours. If I knew how worth it this was going to be, I would've tried more of their tours during our stay. However, this motivates me to go back one day and do them all. Lol

Marie, sorry this review has taken so long cannot believe it has been 3 months since we visited Hawaii. This was a private half day sunrise tour. This was one of the best ways to start our Hawaiian vacation. We booked a half day sunrise tour with Blue Hawaii Photo Tours. Marie picked us up at 545 AM which was fine as we were still on east coast time. During the ride to Sandy Beach Marie found our interests in photography and once we arrived she offered tips to all of us for the various equipment we were using. I was the only one with DSLR and she was great at giving me pointers to help with my sunrise photos. Helped to give various settings to bring the light out and we got some great pictures that morning. The ones I post do not do justice to the higher quality photos I was able to get. After sunrise at Sandy Beach it was off to breakfast at Kalpaw ai Cafe' and Deli for a wonderful breakfast and great coffee. Along the ride to the cafe we stopped near Makapu u point and while the road to the lighthouse was closed we were able to get a small glimps of the lighthouse and a beautiful beach as well. After Breakfast it was off to Byodo-In Temple and again a lovely temple that offers great serinity but also allows some contrast for photos of the mountain background and various colors. Again thank you Marie for all your tips along the way. You helped to improve my eye and allow me to experiment more with exposure time etc to get better quality photos. It was then off to a waterfall which for the life of me I cannot remember the name of....but again just a great location and beautiful way to start our day. It was a half day tour filled with a lot of time for photos but also a great way to orient yourselt fot Oahu and get your bearings so that if you do explore on you own you have a better feel for the island and area. Again my family and I cannot thank Marie enough for her time and knowledge. She not only improved our photo taking ability but also gave us some excellent history of the Island chain and its people. Highly recommend for a great start to your Hawaiian vacation.

Marie was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient as she took us from Waikiki down to Sandy Beach for sunrise then several other spots where we were able to explore various aspects of our cameras’ capabilities and create some beautiful photos. Marie also shared great information on Hawaiian history and culture.

Two of us took the sunrise photo tour during Christmas week. I've been to O’ahu many times but have never done anything similar to this tour. It was wonderful. Marie took us to incredibly photogenic spots for sunrise as well as a few probably less visited spots. A friend who's a local came with me and admitted that they did not know some of these spots. Highly recommend even if you're not into photography (all 6 or 7 of us used our phone only). Marie clearly has a love and great knowledge of the island and its history. So worth it - and much better than the usual large tour buses you see everywhere (and the tour is limited in the number of people as well, ours was a limit of 7, though some of the other tours may be a bit larger). Definitely do it if you're interested in photography or being just a bit off the usual tourist tracks.

This was an amazing tour! You have the opportunity to capture beautiful sceneries of the island while learning how to use your device to capture these beautiful moments.

Marie was our private tour guide and she is the best! Very knowledgeable in both photography and the history of the island. We loved all the places that she took us and went above in beyond to help me in becoming a better photographer. We had to get a private tour because we brought our 9 month old baby and Marie was so patient with us and our son. Not only did she accommodate all of our baby stuff, she was also amazing in making the baby smile in a lot of our pictures. I speak for my family when I say that we loved our tour and definitely recommend Blue Hawaii Photo Tours 🤙🏽🌅

Early morning sunrise. Not much else. Found guide a bit condescending. Not much else to say about this tour. Would never recommend it.

Pjizzle

My favorite part of the experience was the sunrise location it's one of the best photos I've taken ever. We had a great tour guide and I've learned a lot of history also.
