Robert~
Raised in the Hawaiian Islands, Robert started surfing at a young age and eventually became a surf photographer. From surf lover to photographing the famed Triple Crown of Surfing, today he specializes in big wave surf photography. He’s lived on Hawaii’s North Shore for over 25 years and when big waves hit Surf Mecca, you can be sure to find him there, with his camera! Robert is also an experienced surfing instructor, so even 40 – 60 ft waves provide the perfect backdrop for adventure and incredible photography. Check out some of Robert’s work at: 808surfshots.com

Aloha!

We offer group tours, snorkeling tours, north shore tours (with surf lessons!), private group sightseeing tours and more. As a photographer, I would love to share my photography experience with you as we explore the beauty of the Hawaiian islands.
Professional photography is included with all of our tours and one thing that set us apart. We look forward to you experiencing of the most pristine destinations in the world.

Island of Oahu Tours
I call Oahu “Blue Hawaii”. There are three MUST go locations where we will experience the essence of “Blue Hawaii” from a photographers point of view. The “Blue Hawaii” experience includes a lot of white sand beaches. The color of the sand is what makes the Ocean color appear really clear blue. Additionally, the view from the road, looking over the black lava to the blue Ocean is a feast for the eyes. We offer tour adventures in Oahu, including group sightseeing tours, private tours, snorkeling tours, North Shore Turtle Beach snorkeling tours, and more.
On the North Shore we explore the 7 miles miracle…beach, after beach, after beach. Discover Hawaiian Sacred Places, Oceans of Pineapple and Local Coffee Farms. Ask about our fully guided private North Shore Tour. Discover the history and Hawaiian legend as we seek out the best snorkeling the North Shore has to offer. Available in summer!
Island of Maui Tours
Maui, known as the “Valley Isle”, is very special Island. It is the second largest Hawaiian island. Legend has it that the demi-god, MAUI, fished this island out of the sea. I call Maui, the Island of Green. One of the “Must See” locations includes the “Road to Hana”, with it’s 620 curves and 59 bridges, and I don’t even know how many waterfalls. Take a deep breath, pull in the energy from nature, and forget about the city as you explore Maui.
Maui is also absolutely wonderful for snorkeling. All of our guides are snorkel rescue trained, CPR Certified and Watersport Professionals. This ensures you are safe and you will have enjoyable time in the water!
