We are ever-evolving, discovering new ways to improve our tours, and making your Hawaii experience more enjoyable as well as educational. We are confident that you will love all of our photo tours of Hawaii and the guides that lead them. Meet your OPT guides. They are the ones that you will have photobombing you in Hawaii’s most picture-perfect locations.

If you come out with me, you will be taken around the island with a friend, not just another tour guide. Let’s have a blast and capture amazing experiences while we do it! See you in Hawaii!

Certified Sustainable Tour Operator Sustainability Commitment Statement

We at Oahu Photography Tours support the Hawaii Ecotourism Association’s principles of sustainable tourism. We pride ourselves in educating our guests with the most accurate information about Hawaii. We also make it a point to train our staff with local laws and knowledge of wildlife protection. Every one of our guides is trained in current CPR and First Aid practices. During our tours, we ask anyone that smokes to please but your butts in the trash. If you see trash on our tours, please let a guide know and he/she will pick it up. Please bring a reusable water bottle on the tour, buying plastic water bottles only creates more trash and you are pretty much paying for something that is free anyway. If you would like to join us on a beach clean up, follow our Facebook page for more info or contact us. We are not tree-hugging hippies, we just don like trash on the beach and dead animals.

 

Hawaii Ecotourism Association addresses operating policies in the following areas:

  • Environmental Management
  • Staff Management
  • Interpretation Management
  • Consumer Evolution Management
  • Marketing Management
