Sunset & Sunrise

About this activity

This unique, 5-hour photo tour begins in Waikiki with a hotel pickup in a spacious, air-conditioned van. The sunset tour departs from the hotel five hours before the sun goes down.

The tour begins with a visual road trip stopping at 5 different locations – from vistas, beaches, ancient temples, a waterfall and then to our sunset location. Learn how to use light, and discover what framing, shutter speed, focal points and other important topics mean to composing a great image. Then explore the best places — and find the best angles — in which to take pictures on this breathtaking island. It’s the best of both worlds: a tour with an experienced local guide who shares their knowledge of the Hawaiian history and culture and a mini photo lesson with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world for a postcard-perfect sunset.

Along the way, learn about Hawaii’s history, its wildlife and the geography from the naturalist guide who is not only an expert in photography, but also a Hawaii insider with an in-depth knowledge of the island of Oahu. This photography tour is suitable for all skill levels — from beginners to advanced shooters, using everything from smartphones to high-end DSLR cameras. At the end of the tour, walk away with some incredible sunset images, an abundance of photography tips that will last a lifetime and an appreciation of Oahu’s rich history and culture. This photography tour ends with a hotel drop-off in Waikiki.

During the summer months we stay to photograph the fireworks on Friday nights. Then we drive you back to Waikiki in time for dinner.

The tour operator supposed to pick me up at the Ramada Inn on 9/28/18 at 5:00 pm. My plane landed at 1:20 pm. She called me from the hotel at 2:00 pm I told her I just got into the taxi from Honolulu airport. She said I probably wouldn't be able to get to the hotel another 20-25 min. and she could not wait since she had to pick up another participants. She offered me credit toward the next tour. I told her I had to catch the cruise on the next day and wouldn't be able to make it on another day. The reason I came to Honolulu one day early so I can join Sunset Photo Tour on Oahu before going to join the cruise ship on the following day 9/29/2018. I wasted time and money to come one day early. One thing I don't understand why the Sunset Photo tour start at 2:00 pm. I will not recommend this tour to anyone!!

The tour guide, Bonnie was amazing! I have been a photographer for many years and yet she was able to teach me more about my camera settings than I already knew. She took the time with everyone in the tour in order for all to get successful photographs. I would go again... it was wonderful!!
