If you’re someone who appreciates authentic moments over generic tourist photos, you’ll likely find this worthwhile. The local photographers are hand-picked and vetted, ensuring you get someone who knows Maui’s best spots and how to make you look your best.

What does the experience include?

For $425, you gain a private photo shoot lasting about an hour, with the photographer working with your preferred time of day—morning, afternoon, or evening. The session is tailored for groups of 6–12 people, making it suitable for families or larger groups. All taxes and fees are included, so no surprises there.

Within five days of your shoot, you’ll receive an online gallery of 15 to 60 high-resolution images, all edited professionally. These digital photos serve as lasting souvenirs, whether you print them out or share online.

Once you’ve booked, Flytographer’s friendly Concierge Team will confirm a meeting point based on your vision and connect you with your local photographer. The exact meeting location is flexible and will be tailored to your preferences, making it easy to plan around your other activities.

The shoot itself is typically scheduled at a time convenient for you, with the photographer arriving to lead you through a relaxed, fun session. The experience is designed to feel natural and unobtrusive, avoiding stiff poses in favor of candid, memorable shots.

Available times are usually morning, afternoon, or evening, so you can select a slot that fits your plans. Because it’s a private session, you can often negotiate the timing based on your preferences and photographer availability.

How does this compare to other Maui experiences?

Unlike group tours like snorkeling, whale watching, or boat trips, this is a personalized, artistic experience aimed at creating lasting memories through photographs. It’s particularly appealing if you value quality over quantity and want a customized, relaxed setting for your photos.

Why You’ll Love This Experience

The stunning Maui scenery makes for incredible backdrops, and having a local photographer means you’ll get personalized tips on the best spots to visit afterward or dine. The convenience of having digital images within five days means you can share your trip story quickly and easily.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

This experience is especially suited for travelers who want more than just a camera phone snapshot. If you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want a beautiful visual record of your Maui adventure, this is a smart choice.

It’s also a good option for those who appreciate local insights and want to learn about secret spots or best dining options from someone who knows Maui intimately.

However, if your main aim is a large group or a quick snapshot, ensure your expectations align with what a one-hour professional shoot can deliver.
