Your honeymoon couple wants to get 'focused' on a guided private 'photography' tour of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Priced per couple; a true adventure of Oahu filled with beaches, waterfalls, majestic mountains and hardly ever seen before wildlife. This is a chance for the happy couple (who have a shared interest in capturing moments and rare beauty through taking photographs) a chance to sit back, relax and still know they will have memorable photos from their vacation. On the private tour, if they have any special requests to see (for example), beautiful flowers, hidden waterfalls, rare tropical birds and other wildlife, unique trails or dramatic mountain lines, this tour will find for Jim and Mare where Oahu is being the most photogenic on that particular day (weather, winds, sun) and make it happen for the photographers. All tours make it around the island in one day. With many different locations to choose from, they will end up with the most amazing honeymoon photographs! And all taken with their own cameras, talents, eyes and hands! This tour provides not just the opportunity to see some of the island's hidden gems, but to also capture the island's beauty through the couples' lens'. The tour provides the couple with the gift to bring back home these amazing Oahu island pictures to share with all their friends and family. Includes stops for local lunch and beverages, and a sunset snack.

On our trip, we will sink our feet in the sand and bring back home as many neat looking seashells as we can find.

While snorkeling, your gift will help us capture on film a whole other world of astonishing beauty. Your gift will give us the ability to take the memories of this beautiful underwater life back home with us in print.
