If you want to see the beauty of the island, take amazing photo memories and have a genuinely good time, definitely take this trip. My 19 year old daughter and I took this tour on June 5th. It was everything I hoped it would be an more. My daughter had not been to Kauai before. This allowed her to see the best spots, while snapping photos and learning about the power of a POLARIZER! Definitely rent one of Michelle's cameras if you only have a point and click yourself These cameras capture color you won't believe. I feel as though I have 500 postcards. (yep, we took over 500 pictures!) Michelle burned them all on a CD for us and we will be able to enjoy our wonderful memories and share with friends. Scott was a great guide and the entire day exceeded my expectations. It's worth every penny of the very reasonable price. Don't miss this!
My wife and I had never been to Kauai and we wanted to find a way to get to know the island before setting off to explore it on our own. We scouted this attraction on Trip Advisor, took a chance, and are ever so glad we did. We had an unforgettable day compliments of Vince and Michele Taylor who own and operate Kauai Photo and Art Tours. Because of a scheduling snafu we enjoyed a private tour of the island with our host, Vince, who is a local photographer. You should be so lucky! He took us to out-of-the-way spots whilst regaling us with local legend and lore. It was an absolute blast, very entertaining, totally relaxing, and a privilege to boot. Several of the photos that follow were taken en route with the help of Vince's keen eye and professional advice. If (and when) we return to Kauai we'll sign up for the tour again just to hang out with the Taylors! Mahalo, Vince and Michele!
Take this tour! This is a great way to see the island as well as take some great photos. You do not have to be a professional photographer. You are guided to wonderful waterfalls and beaches that you may never have found on your own. Michelle and Scott are great, so friendly, so willing to share help with anything you need.
We did the light hike, and really enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous spots that Scott took us to. He gave us hints on how to take great shots as well as giving us plenty of time to explore the areas. We also enjoyed our lunch; the "pig plate" was awesome and the taro shakes were so yummy we went back to eat there again on our own the next day. It was really fun to have Scott point out all his favorite spots as well as share tips on great places to eat or visit on the island.
This is a really fun and unique way to spend the day and see the beauty of the isalnd. We had a ball and would do it again in a minute!
I have a timeshare on Kauai and have been visiting a different island every year for many years.
Being an avid photographer who travels alone, finding the "out of the way" locations is of most importance to me.
These guys are simply the best!
Family run, very friendly, ...they make you feel like you're part of the family.
Helpful at suggesting vantage points for shots at each location.
Booked two tours this visit, and will look them up on my next visit.
Simply Outstanding
I really dislike most tours...NOT this one! Michelle was so nice on the phone and managed to get me - a soloist - added on to a larger tour during my recent trip to Kauai. I'm so glad she did! Her husband, Vince, a professional photographer took me and 5 others to lots of beautiful spots I'd have never found myself, helped us with framing our shots, and gave just the right amount of technological assistance. My group was great - all low key (and talkative!) tourists from all over the world with various levels of photography experience and an equal desire to capture the surrounding beauty on our cameras. (I believe we were Vince's favorite group ever???) No matter what level of photographer you are, I highly recommend this fabulous tour! (If you have one, bring your SLR camera...you'll get much better pictures and the instruction Vince offers will be much more valuable.)
We did the moderate hiking tour. Make sure to take a pair of shoes you don't care about getting dirty,. Scott our tour guide was exceptional when pointing out good shots at our various stops. He made sure we felt comfortable with the Nikon D3000 cameras we rented and even helped to give us a few pointers with this camera along the way! Scott was also great in the fact that he gave us plenty of time to explore the areas and get the best shots.
The owners are wonderful people to get to know. Michelle gave us a lot of tips about the area and the best places to go. We would definitely would do this tour again!
