Job description

Looking for Professional Vacation Taker (Who Happens to Be Good With a Camera)

Content Creator / Videographer
HawaiiTours.com | Hawaii's Largest Adventure/Tour Company


Let's get one thing out of the way:
Your friends are going to hate this job.
Not because it's hard.
Because every time you post a behind-the-scenes photo from work, they're going to assume you're lying.
"Wait... they PAY you to do that?"
Yes.
Yes, they do.


About The Job
We're looking for someone to create photo and video content for HawaiiTours.comand our growing family of brands.


Your office might be:

  • A boat.
  • A beach.
  • A helicopter landing area.
  • A waterfall trail.
  • A tour bus.
  • A coffee shop pretending to work while dumping footage.

Some days you'll be editing videos in Waikiki.
Other days you'll be standing somewhere ridiculous thinking:
"I cannot believe this is technically a Tuesday."


What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Filming tours and adventures across Hawaii
  • Taking photos of guests having the time of their lives
  • Creating TikToks, Reels, Shorts, and YouTube videos
  • Flying drones without crashing them into coconut trees
  • Interviewing tourists who just saw a honu for the first time
  • Following our team around with a camera
  • Capturing moments that make people immediately want to book a trip


Important Skills
You should know how to:

  • Shoot video
  • Edit video
  • Take photos
  • Tell a story

You should also be able to:

  • Wake up early occasionally
  • Not lose SD cards
  • Remember to hit record
  • Resist saying "we'll fix it in post" every five minutes


Things That May Happen
At some point during this job you may find yourself:

  • On a boat chasing dolphins with a camera
  • Flying to another island for a content shoot
  • Getting paid to watch a sunset
  • Explaining to your parents that this is, in fact, a real career
  • Creating content while your college friends are trapped in fluorescent-lit office buildings


Things That Will Definitely Happen

  • You'll get wet.
  • You'll get sandy.
  • You'll forget sunscreen exactly once.
  • You'll accidentally end up in someone's vacation photo.
  • You'll have way too much footage on your hard drive.
  • Your camera roll will be better than everyone else's.


The Kind of Person We're Looking For
You might be:

  • A recent college graduate
  • A self-taught creator
  • A YouTuber
  • A TikTok addict
  • A photographer
  • A filmmaker
  • Somebody who bought a camera and became completely obsessed

We care far more about your work than your resume.
If you've got talent, hustle, and a good attitude, we want to see it.


Bonus Points If

  • You own a drone
  • You know your way around a camera
  • You love the ocean
  • You know how to make people laugh on camera
  • You can carry more than one battery at a time
  • You've ever said "hold on, let me get this shot" in a completely serious tone


What Success Looks Like
One day of shooting should become:

  • YouTube videos
  • Instagram Reels
  • TikToks
  • Website photos
  • Marketing content
  • Future ad campaigns

Our goal is simple:
Make people sitting in cold office buildings wonder why they aren't in Hawaii.


To Apply
Send us:

  • Your resume
  • Your portfolio
  • Your social media accounts
  • Your favorite project you've ever created

And if you have a video that makes us laugh, cry, or immediately want to book a vacation, definitely include that too.


Warning: After taking this job, normal office jobs may become permanently unbearable
