I just got back to our hotel and couldn’t wait to sit down and write a review for Mila and this excursion! We had a phenomenal time and learned so much. The group we went with (5 total) really enhanced the experience, especially Mila’s love and knowledge of the island. I wish we had another excursion booked with her!

Itinerary
Our first stop is great for getting to know each other and get a better understanding of how to take the best photos during the trip.
The best view of the windward side hands down. You will be blown away by these views, literally. It's very very windy up here.
We found a local spot where you can enjoy the protected mountain range without anyone else around. You have never seen anything like this before in your life.
Unreal local food awaits you. Every person that joins our tours gets the opportunity to indulge themselves at this amazing hidden gem.
Voted the best beach in the United States. This is a beach you should not mss but also, never disclose its location :)
Take in the beauty at our favorite location. The colors will amaze you. Ask your guide to help you capture panoramics here.
Watch this lava tube spot out ocean water over 50 feet high. Also a great place to look for wildlife such as whales and turtles
We visit a great vantage point to capture a panoramic photo of this amazing bay

I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable, even taking us to an extra spot to enjoy some delicious shaved ice. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, shared interesting facts, and clearly knew all the best spots. His thoughtfulness and passion made the tour that much more enjoyable. We truly appreciated his efforts and would highly recommend him to anyone!
Day was great even though weather was rainy. Mila was a fantastic guide and we were able to have great conversations throughout the day. She took great pics of us at all the stops as well. We didn’t feel like the day was diminished by the weather as just one stop there was no visibility. Thanks Mila!!
Great tour of the most incredible views on Oahu! If you are lucky enough to get Kurt as your tour guide, you will never forget this tour. I have been on a cruise ship for two months and I have taken almost 2 dozen tours, and this was my favorite! You will have a great time!
This is our second time taking this tour. We just happen to draw Andrew again as our tour guide. (We took this tour 3 years ago with Andrew and highly impressed then) He is excellent, knows his photography, knows his city and state. Full of information. Would highly recommend to anybody wanting to see the sites through their camera lens
This is our second photography tour with Andrew. The tour is excellent and Andrew is very knowledgeable, funny, and knows photography. He always gives camera pointers, and takes great photos of all the travelers on his tour.
Andrew was AMAZING! His friendliness, knowledge of the island, storytelling, and sense of humor was FANTASTIC! He was so welcoming and easy going. This was the second time we have gotten Andrew, and he remembered us from three years ago, as well as still had photos of us from then. That was so neat! I hope we get him next tour we take! Highly recommend!
Andrew was attentive and friendly. While showing my friend and I around the island, he also gave us tips on how to take better photos. He even took nice pictures of us!
Andrew was my tour guide and he did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He also took some amazing pictures. I really enjoyed myself on this tour.
This was one of the best tours I have ever done! Our guides Chris and Mila were so much fun. We saw so many beautiful sites. It was so much more than I was expecting. If you do this ask for Chris and Mila, you will thank me later!!
Andrew and Mila were amazing! I had so much fun during the tour and the photos were beautiful!
Awesome experience and absolutely amazing views. Andrew and Mila are both amazing tour guides. Highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed!!! ❤️
Pickup was on time. The stop at Leonard's Bakery was a special treat. We believe that Andrew was a wizard because the rain stopped for us at every photo opportunity. We also learned some valuable information from him about taking photos with our phones. Lunch at Kalapawai Cafe & Deli was amazing. The views were amazing and obviously well planned, a great experience. Well worth the cost.
This was a great excursion where the stops provided extraordinary locations for photos with stunning views. Kurt, our guide who is a professional photographer, was a blast to spend the day with and made our experience a memorable one. He provided a wealth of information about the island of Oahu and more specifically the areas we visited. He made us feel welcome and all 6 people in his Mercedes coach shared in the conversations throughout the day. This trip was well worth it!
This is a wonderful tour to take if you want some excellent photos in Oahu. Our guide Andrew B. Was so knowledgeable and he was full of great photography tricks that we could use with our I-phone cameras. It was a 5 hour tour which started with a stop at a fried dough truck where we each got a delicious treat of fried dough that was to die for. Andrew then bought use each a large bottle of water and we were on our way. We made several stops then stopped and had a delicious lunch at a wonderful restaurant and continued on with our tour. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to have great photo memories of their trip to Hawaii. It’s a must do on your trip.
Andrew Berkowitz was our tour guide. He picked my husband and I up at the Honolulu Zoo exactly where he said he would and on time. The van was clean and air conditioned. Our first stop was for a delicious fried pastry that was purchased by the tour and Andrew also bought us nice big cold bottles of water. The rest of the day we stopped at many beautiful sites for photo opportunities where Andrew taught us tricks for taking great pictures with our phones and he also took great photos of us with his professional camera which he sent to us for free. The overall experience was over the top! Andrew is a gem and an experienced tour guide. This tour is worth every penny.
I had an amazing time. Andrew, our guide, made this tourone if the best tour since my time in Waikiki. Andrew was very knowledgeable about the area, history and photography. Loved the tips he provided on taking selfies and panaromic photos with your phone. I will definitely take another tour with this company on my next trip back and hope to have Andrew as my guide. Thanks for the photo tips Andrew and the additional pictures!!!
We’ve just come back from a tour with Oahu Photo Tours, and honestly, what a day! Our guide was Malcolm (Mac), who was brilliant from start to finish. Pick-up was bang on time, the vehicle was absolutely spotless, and because it was a small group, the whole day felt relaxed and personal rather than like being herded around on a big coach. Our first stop was just outside town for a fresh doughnut — and when I say fresh, I mean fresh! Along with the doughnut there was the opportunity to grab a drink and use the restroom before we headed on. As we got out into the suburbs, we started seeing some absolutely spectacular properties, many of them right on the oceanfront. Some were in the region of $6.2 million, and when you saw the views, you could understand why. They were simply stunning. And this was the Hawaii I had imagined before we came — incredible coastline, beautiful scenery and that feeling of being somewhere really special. It was such a contrast to Waikiki, which is very commercialised, busy and full of hotels and tourists. This tour really showed us another side of Oahu, and if you want to get away from Waikiki and see the real Hawaiian landscape, I’d definitely recommend doing this tour. Mac also takes loads of photographs throughout the day, which is a really nice touch. He shares them afterwards in different ways, including AirDrop and email, so you come away with some great memories without having to spend the whole day trying to take photographs yourself. He was also incredibly helpful with Linda, helping her on and off the vehicle whenever needed, and he had a great sense of humour throughout the day. Nothing seemed too much trouble. And then came my moment of stupidity! I somehow managed to leave my phone behind. By the time we got back to the Moana Surfrider, I realised what I’d done and went back looking for it. And there was Mac — actually parked outside the hotel, phone in hand, waiting to return it to me! You couldn’t ask for better service than that. A great tour, a fantastic day and, most importantly, a great guy as our guide. Thanks, Mac, for making our day out on Oahu so memorable. Andrew & Linda ❤️
Kurt was a friendly and easy going guide. We saw some wonderful sights and enjoyed good food. Highly recommended.
Andrew from SixAppeal was an amazing tour guide. He guided my cousins bachelorette tour and we had a blast. He so knowledgeable and nice.
Kurt was incredible he made everyone feel comfortable the entire trip and had great knowledge of the areas we visited and photography tips and we had a great day with him would definitely recommend this trip!!!!!!
One of the best tour experiences we’ve had! We were able to visit so many popular scenic spots while also discovering some amazing local gems. Our tour guide, Andrew, was AMAZING! We were a group of girls celebrating a bachelorette, and he made us feel safe, comfortable, and completely accommodated the entire time. He also made sure we had plenty of photo opportunities for our bride and the whole group, and the photos came out SO good! He even gave us helpful photography tips and tricks along the way, which was such a nice bonus. Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. You can tell he really knows the area and cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. Overall, an outstanding tour and an even better tour guide. 10/10! Would absolutely recommend, especially for groups looking for a fun and memorable way to explore!
Andrew did amazing being our tour guide for our party of 9 (celebrating a bachelorette party)! We learned so much from him regarding the history of Oahu and photo taking skills/trends. Andrew also helped prioritize what was important to us (good food, good views, and amazing photos) to remember it all. He checked all those boxes and went above and beyond with taking our photos both digitally and via Polaroids. Thank you to Andrew and Oahu Photo Tours for helping create such a memorable experience!
We did a private tour with Andrew for Beautiful Colors of Hawaii Tour and it was AMAZING! We booked it for my sister’s bachelorette party and it was so nice of them to accommodate a group of 9 when contacting them directly. Andrew went above and beyond to really cater to our group’s preferences, being interactive, and was overall such an amazing experience. We all had so much fun and was a highlight of our trip! From emailing Alex (I think their admin) to getting Andrew as our guide, everything was so smooth and seamless. Oahu Photo Tours is definitely lucky to have Andrew in their team!
We booked the Beautiful Colors of Hawaii Photography Tour for my bachelorette trip and we had the best time with our guide, Andrew. Our private tour was personalized to the photos and places we wanted to see and Andrew did an amazing job making sure the trip was smooth and took the most amazing Insta-worthy photos of me and my girls on this trip! He also had a lot of educational information and we learned so much on our tour about the island as well. Highly recommend Andrew as a guide! Also, huge shout out to the company and Alex for being so flexible and letting our group use the bigger van for an added person. We stopped for some yummy malasadas included on our tour and Andrew took us to a lunch spot where we got to buy some yummy food. The van was clean and comfortable and the AC kept the van at a cool temperature in this hot humid weather.
Andrew made our photo tour unforgettable with his knowledge, humor, island stories, and warm personality. His creative photography tips helped us see the scenery differently and capture truly memorable photos. Most importantly, he made my wife’s birthday especially meaningful, turning the tour into one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking a fun, informative experience with fantastic photo opportunities. Thank you, Andrew, for making our day so special!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Amazing Experience with Andrew !** Andrew was absolutely **awesome!** He made the entire experience with Guiding tour enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable. His professionalism, kindness, and positive attitude really stood out. What made it even more special was that **September 9th was my birthday, and Andrew took the time to celebrate with me!** 🎉🎂 That personal touch meant so much and made my birthday experience even better. Thank you, Andrew for going above and beyond. **Excellent service and an amazing person—I highly recommend him.
This tour exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Kurt, took us to beautiful public scenic outlooks as well as some great areas known only by the locals. His photography skills helped us to take some amazing pictures. After our tour, he sent us a link to a large number of photos he took of us, and the locations we visited. Now we have pictures of us in Oahu's most beautiful locales and theyre NOT selfie! Kurt's stories brought Oahu to life for us. He's an excellent tour guide and photographer.
ANDREW WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LITERALLY A 1000/10 star!! Very nice …knowledgeable and fun tour guide.
Drove in a very nice, comfortable van. Emily was a great and courteous driver. She showed us how to take gorgeous pictures as well as took pictures of us. Showed us around some great local spots. We laughed and made great memories for our family.
The experience was wonderful! We learned so much about Hawaii! We got to see wonderful sights, and had very beautiful pictures taken of us. Andrew was our guide and he was phenomenal! 10/10. I wish we had more time to do each tour with him!
Such a fun tour around the island me and my daughter got to experience. With amazing pictures. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with our guide, Andrew. He took us to some absolutely beautiful places and made the whole tour enjoyable and relaxing. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. One of the best parts was that he took beautiful photos of us throughout the tour, so we could just enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Andrew as your guide!
Great tour with Andrew I’ve been to Hawaii before but got to see a lot of new things
Emily was super nice and helped us so much on everything and gave us so many good tips how to take great photos. She’s such a lovely person to spend time for your memorable holiday.
This tour provides the best of Hawaii- gorgeous scenery, local food and fun photography tips with the iPhone. The guide was relaxed and attentive. Isn’t just a “photo tour” it’s a great way to see the best of the island and local life.
We had an awesome time on our photo tour! We were taken to many amazing places with breathtaking views and received personal attention from our guide Kurt. Kurt was attentive, informative and very personable. This tour exceeded our expectations and we could not have been any happier. We left with wonderful memories and amazing photos. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour
Kurt was the BEST tour guy…he has an amazing personality, lots of knowledge about the island-treated us to donuts, took us to a delicious place for lunch and taught us how to take clear, unique pictures of the beautiful island. If i decide to get married in Hawaii i will definitely be hiring Kurt for the job. Best Tour Ever!!
Kurt was very knowledgeable an very nice 👏
My husband, Allan and I are just back from the most amazing tour today with our guide, Kurt 👏 🤩 This is our first visit to Oahu and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kurt was an awesome guide and made us feel so welcome. He remembered all of our names, was so entertaining and funny and knew all the best spots to take amazing pics. Kurt is a very knowledgeable photographer and was always willing to help us out to achieve the best shots. Aside: the morning donut was divine 😋 Don't miss this tour!
This was a great tour the tour guide was so funny and happy upbeat love it would recommend this tour the group of people was awesome best tour guide ever
We had a wonderful time on our Oahu photography tour with Andrew! He was informative, personable, and truly amazing throughout the day. Andrew took us to beautiful locations that aren’t part of the typical Oahu tour routes, giving us the chance to capture stunning photos and experience, the islands, vibrant colors. We enjoyed chocolate samples, and stopped at a charming local store for lunch while listening to fascinating stories he shared along the way. This tour was a highlight of our trip and we highly recommended to anyone looking for a unique and memorable Oahu experience🌸🌴
Chris was the best, very informative. Highly recommend. And even at the end took us to the best shaved ice place as well.
Chris did a great job showing us around Oahu! He was very informative and fun! I really enjoyed the tour!
We had Chris as a guide. He is a five star guide!! He made this trip top notch! He went the extra mile and took extra photos. Would recommend this trip to everyone! He kept us laughing and gave us so much history of the island. Thank you for having wonderful guides like Chris. Michelle & Kenny
Emily our guide did a terrific job taking us to the most beautiful places on this island of Oahu. Her photography knowledge was extensive and we had a lot fun along the way. A really memorable experience.
Emily was amazing- knowledgeable, great teacher, funny and interested in knowing us. We learned so many new ways to use phone photo features. Van was comfortable. Stops beautiful. Highly recommend!!!
I was a solo tourist and I enjoyed the photography excursion. Emily was our tour guide and she helped me take pics and taught me some cool ways to take pics with my iPhone. She was energetic and knowledgeable about Hawaii. I finally tasted the malassada and it was extremely good. I highly recommend this excursion and if you can choose to go out with Emily.
Emily was an amazing tour guide. She was so friendly and engaging. We loved the stop at Leonard’s Bakery for traditional Malasada which we had never had before and the lunch at a local restaurant along the way. She taught me so many new tips and tricks using my iPhone that I didn’t know existed! I can't wait to use them when we get home. I’d highly recommend Emily for this tour.
We enjoyed a great tour with Kurt yesterday. Kurt is professional and knowledgeable about the island, and his tour is very engaging with a great sense of humor. What impressed me most was his passion and his ability to connect people and bring everyone together. We had an amazing time with the group, enjoying scenic views, good food, and beautiful photo opportunities. Big kudos to Kurt for creating such a memorable experience for us.
