PHOTO TOURS IN HAWAII

Kauai's dramatic landscape of sharp cliffs and peaks can be seen in the background of many popular Hollywood movies like Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, King Kong, and a few of the Jurassic Park films. While the Na Pali Coast is the location that gets the most screen time, 10-mile long Waimea Canyon is extremely popular amongst tourists who enjoy hiking and nature exploration.

A Kauai Photography Workshop allows you to experience what many people call "a Photographer's Paradise" and the "Land of Discovery." The tour features scenic backdrops like exotic waterfalls, dramatic canyons, and undeveloped beaches.
