Thank you for the lovely trip through the "Garden Island" of Hawaii. We really appreciate your accommodating

us at the last minute. This was an educational tour for us -- Photography and Beauty of the island together.

We couldn't possibly find the many great vantage points without your inside knowledge. We are taking back

memories with us in our camera chip and even deeper memories within us. They will make sure we come

back to this island and to YOU. We will surely let you know. Thank You Again!!

 God has blessed us with new friends. This was an awesome day for us. I learned so much! Scott was a great

 host and tour guide and Vince closed out our day with a new appreciation and desire for me to get a NICER

 CAMERA!!! Michele was one of the friendliest and easy to talk to in the way of planning! Had so much that we

 will now also do a South side tour! How is that for customer satisfaction? A Perfect Day!

Greetings from California, Andy and I arrived home safely Friday night. Just wanted to let you know that

I put a plug in for both of you and Tripadvisor.com ! Wait a couple of days to check it out. They like to

screen the comments before allowing people to see. it is under Kauai I can't tell you how happy I was able

to book you for the photo tour. Just getting out of the hospital, I still had enough energy to run around to all

sites! I wished we could have done another tour for na pali too. Next time! The drive and shoot in the van

was a great way to see a lot in a short period of time. I enjoyed using the Nikon d60. Maybe I'll get one soon!

thanks so much guys!

Mahalo!

I took the photo tour with Vince on Kauai, HI. and what a wonderful experience it was! He took four

of us off the beaten path for some truly beautiful photo opportunities. I had just purchased a digital SLR camera

and with just a few tips from Vince I

captured some shots that I'll treasure.

As an veteran travel photographer I am very aware that time is money - and by utilizing Vince´s experience and

expertise I saved a lot of both. They not only knows the locations but the time of day as well.  It would have taken

a week on my own to cover the locations they took me to in one day.  His knowledge of photography - as well as

where to and where not to park - was an invaluable time and expense saver.  Time of day is key to many of these

locations and while one location is ideal early in the day due to shadows, etc. - many others are better at midday

and later.  Vince´s awareness of the topography and terrain was a real time saver and I would certainly call on him

again the next time I visit -  and as an added bonus, he recommended an excellent local restaurant which topped off

an exciting day ! 
 
Many Thanks Vince and Michelle ...

I have to share this with people who would enjoy having a local professional photographer as a tour guide on this

garden island. Kauai Photo Tours is great to show you the the most beautiful locations to take the best shots.

They will even provide you with great cameras or camcorders if you do not have the equipment. I tried the Nikon

D60 with the polarizer. I didn't know what the polarizer was, but it sure created the best shots of the beaches,

waterfall. They even stopped for lunch and provided snacks. Call them at 808 823-1263 or visit on-line at

hawaiianphotos.net. Their photos are the ones on sale in the shops that are already matted and ready for framing!

His wife does the Kauai Painting Tours. She takes you to a beautiful location and provides all the materials needed

for art lovers.

My husband I and were given a trip to Kauai as a gift. He has terminal cancer. We booked this tour hoping to see

a few nice places. I actually thought it was only 3 hours long for some reason. But it was so much better than we

ever imagined. It was serene, it was so very pretty and it was magical. Our group was only 4 people. The tour was

over 5 hours and we will never, ever forget it. Plus we loved the other couple (Jane and Rick) from England that went

with us. They were the nicest people. We also took some fabulous photos.

Mark and Christina Botai

We wanted to tell everybody to take this tour. My wife told a group at the Kilauea litehouse about the tour and how great

it was. I think I embarrassed our photographer Vince. Lunch was good and the views were BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexander Hunt

I would recommend this tour for anybody that wants to see many Kauai places. My husband and me have

been coming to Kauai every year for 10 years. And most of the places we were taken to I had never seen before.

Thank you Vince and Michele for such a wonderful time!!! I rented the nikon camera  for the tour and my pics were

awesome.I want to buy that camera now.

We truly saw more places than when we took a helicopter tour! It was really nice. I'm in a wheelchair, and our photographer

guide, Vince,  took pictures for me and my assistant! They were beautiful!!!! We had a great Hawaiian lunch as well and I

bought extra to take to my hotel. The whole thing was fantastic.

My name is Dave Nitsche. I am a professional Fine-Art photographer from Ohio. I’ve always found traveling daunting

when trying to find great spots for scenic pictures. Usually my time is limited, the surroundings are unfamiliar and I end

up hitting all the places that everyone else does. When I went to Kauai recently, this time I decided to go out with Vince

for the day with my fiance. Next thing I know we're finding all these little out of the way places that no tourist in the world

would ever find! One place after another. The man knows the Island like the back of his hand and allowed me to get some

shots that you just don’t see everyday. Vince is funny, witty and you feel comfortable with him the second you meet him. 


Yeah, you can just go it on your own and take the same pictures that everyone else in the world does when visiting the

Islands, or you can spend some time with Vince's Kauai Photo Tour and see parts of Hawaii that truly show it’s majesty

and beauty! It’s like having 11 years of living on the islands at your fingertips the second you land on this beautiful island

and have him show you around! Thanks for a great tour Vince!

My name is Glen Carner and I am the owner and operator of HawaiiPictures.com and HawaiiArt.com. Both sites are the

online leaders in their respective niches and feature photography by Vincent Khoury Tylor. 

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is, "where are these pictures taken" and, "how can we see this area?"

Unfortunately many of these locations are inaccessible to tourists and I must refer to guidebooks and maps which is not

always helpful to first time visitors. 

Finally, I have the opportunity to not only sell for the local photographers online, but to support local businesses by offering

our visitors the opportunity to experience the images and locations they see online first-hand with Kauai Photos and Art Tours. 

Kauai Photos and Art Tours is the service that ties our online business into the physical nature of Hawaii. No service exists

that is so perfectly targeted to our 4000 daily visitors and can convert those visitors into tourists to our islands. 

I look forward to Kauai Photos and Art Tours new business so we can increase the number of visitors to Kauai in addition

to showing them great images online of what's in store during there vacation. We look forward to being a part of their marketing

efforts.

Mahalo Nui,

 As a freelance stock photographer and photo editor for Webshots.com (one of the largest photo websites on the internet),

I have come to appreciate the importance of being at the right place at the right time. Just like with real estate, location is

everything, but to a photographer capturing the location in the best light is critical.

I had the pleasure to visit Kauai for the first time in 2003 and while I had poured over numerous guidebooks beforehand to

plan my visit, I was immediately overwhelmed with the number of photographic opportunities the island had to offer.

For this once in a lifetime trip, I wanted to capture it all, but not being familiar with area, the weather patterns across the

island and how the light fell on the subjects, it was clear that I needed some professional tour-advice from a local photographer.

Luckily, I knew Vincent Khoury Tylor from licensing his beautiful images for our Webshots screensavers. He kindly

accompanied me on a personal tour of scenic locations across the island. From Lihue to the North Shore, he showed me

his favorite locations to photograph at the best time of day to shoot them. For any nature photographer, just knowing the

best time of day to photograph Wailua Falls with a rainbow in the foreground is priceless.

Vince is such a wonderful ambassador for the island of Kauai. For photography lovers worldwide who download his popular

images from Webshots for screensavers, his images inspire photographers to book a vacation to the islands to capture the

beauty for themselves. Expanding Hawaiian Landmark Images to offer photo tours on the island fulfills a need that all

shutterbugs and visitors alike seek.

Whether arriving by plane or from a cruise, all of us photographers seek out the opportunity to make the most of their

visit and capture memories of a lifetime.  I am already looking forward to my next Kauai visit to take another tour!

I
am so pleased to see your new service offering for Kauai Tourism. As the author of the Kauai Underground Guide

Book (now in its 18th edition since 1980), we value conservation.  It is extremely important to share the island with

visitors in a way that respects their safety and preserves the unspoiled beauty of the places that make the island special. 

Kauai is a photographer’s paradise. Too many tourists, however,  have lost their lives in trying to make that “great shot”

by standing too close to the shoreline in times of heavy surf, or losing their footing on narrow trails in the wilderness. 

So experienced guidance is essential, and my knowledge of your company, as well as the beautiful images you create,

reassures me that you will carry out your mission in a very responsible manner.

The digital revolution will continue to bring many more tourists who will love to explore Kauai with their cameras.  Your new

service is just what we need to be sure they create great images and have safe and exciting experiences.
