UPDATED FEB 2020. Whether you are living in Hawaii and looking for some adventure inspiration, or live elsewhere and are simply looking for a little virtual escape to Hawaii, get your scrolling thumb ready because I have a treat for you. Here are my picks for the 15 best Hawaii Instagram accounts that will serve both purposes. These are accounts that I use to inspire my own adventures on the island and connect with other like-minded outdoor lovers.

The 15 Best Hawaii Instagram Accounts For Adventure Inspiration

Why these Instagram accounts are awesome

Social media gets a bad rap sometimes but I get a lot of inspiration from it.

Whether it is these pages or pages of Instafriends I follow, I love seeing everyone’s amazing adventures and even more how they are captured through photography differently.

We might all do the same hike but see the photo opportunities differently which I just love so much.

How you can use them to inspire your own adventures

I will often see an amazing picture of somewhere I haven’t been and then I will try and find that same adventure spot.

Sometimes they are easy to find and sometimes it takes a little more searching, maybe even a couple of tries to find it – that’s half the fun though.

Don’t be offended if people will not post the name or location of an adventure on Instagram.

This is done for a few reasons and you can read my thoughts on that in my post about the secret mermaid cave.

10 best Hawaii Instagram pages to follow

The first group is full of repost pages that have a hashtag, repost other people’s adventure photos, have blogs and/or sell merchandise.

These guys and gals are working hard to go through the submissions, repost and live their own adventurous lifestyle so go on and show them some love by following their pages.

Bonus points if you show them even more support by picking up a bit of merchandise.

5 best Hawaii Instagram influencers

These are the accounts for people out there taking photos and sharing their lives in Hawaii.

I will say that there are much bigger accounts in Hawaii that are probably mentioned in other blogs and so on.

But unfortunately, I’ve met a few of them and they’re really not nice people.

I’ve seen just about everything from refusing to shoot a woman half my size because she was too fat (I wasn’t in the photo otherwise I’m certain I would’ve been asked to leave too), to another photographer telling me I couldn’t be in photos because of my size, to leaving trash on the beach and hikes, to damaging coral and harassing animals, to unprofessional business practices, and overall rudeness.

I’m focusing my list on some people who are doing good on social media AND in real life.

@frankshoots – An incredibly talented photographer whose dreamy landscape photography will blow you away.

@tonysed – Owner of Venture Hawaii who shares his lifestyle and love of the islands with a local perspective.

@randomrob – Incredibly talented photographer and a true artist who always offers a new perspective on the islands.

@clarklittle – The man! A well known and talented surf photographer. I met him on the beach & he is also a really nice guy!

Of course, there is also The Katie Show Blog but I am sure you already knew that one 😉

I hope these accounts can inspire your own adventures on the island as much as they have inspired me.
