Hawaii is composed of tiny islands, each of which is unique in its own way. There is no shortage of dramatic mountains, postcard-perfect beaches, and hidden valleys, and the talented photographers who call this paradise home have captured it all. Here are Culture Trip’s 17 Hawaiian Instagrammers who will make you want to jump on the next flight to the islands.

Clark Little – @clarklittle

Known for his epic wave shots, Clark Little puts himself in front of massive shore breaks to bring you the most unbelievable pictures and videos. He gives you a perspective that regular beach goers would not experience, that of looking inside the barrel of a wave.

Showcasing the natural beauty and curiosity of sharks, you can find people diving, swimming, and coexisting with these beautiful marine apex predators, which, in turn, destroys the notion that sharks are mindless man-eating machines.
