Hawaii Sunset: Oahu Photography Tour – Half Day

Ever wanted to capture your own postcard-worthy “Hawaiian sunset” photo? This Hawaii photography tour at golden hour is tailored to those who take their visuals seriously. Touring the best spots to capture that classic Hawaiian shot, this tour positions travelers in the best spots to capture the sun’s rays as they dramatically hit Oahu Island’s Windward side.

See the sparkling waters of Hanauma Bay from a great vantage point and take in the fresh air as you wander around. Soon enough your nose will get a whiff of the delightful fragrance produced by hundreds of Plumeria flowers at Koko Crater – a botanical garden hidden in a volcanic depression.

We’ll next march onward to view the Ko’olau Mountains up-close at the Makapu’u Lookout. This viewpoint is a favourite among photographers seeking extraordinary angles.

From there, it's time for a lunch break at a specially-chosen food stop. Ai Love Nalo or Ono Steaks specialize in Hawaiian and Hawaii-inspired dishes, featuring local produce, nutritious ingredients, and a theme of mindfulness. On the way to Halona blowhole, we’ll also stop at Lana’i Lookout for even more bird’s eye views!

After lunch, we’ll get a glimpse of East Oahu’s terrain at Halona Blowhole. While there, look out for tide pools, late-stage volcanic eruptions, and – depending on the time of year – a humpback whale. This area is famous for its vibrant blue waves crashing into unique rock formations.

After a full day, prepare to photograph Hawaii’s classic sunset on the eastern tip of the island – at Spitting Caves, where the sun drops on the cliff walls. Witness vibrant colors set against an iconic backdrop of the sea and land.
