Additional Information

Ensure you have your mobiles and cameras with you for stunning panorama and awesome selfie shots!!

We offer an amazing half-day sunset trip designed for those seeking to visit top spots. Book as early as possible as we have limited availability.

This afternoon escapade will take you to incredible viewpoints. The first stop is an elusive spot that not everyone can locate, meaning it’s typically deserted. From here, you get a view of the whole southern coastline.

Next, we move to the Kaiwi shoreline, renowned for its majestic seacliffs. Discover this region and snap some remarkable panoramas. During the winter, you may even spot Humpback whales from the cliffs.

Before the sunset, we pause to have some eats. The local market offers a variety of meals to choose from. Tasting food from a local delight known as Fay Boys is highly recommended.

Lastly, watching the sunset. During winter, you get to watch the sun dive directly into the sea. Based on the day and the group, we can adjust the exact location we visit.

Great experience with a fantastic guide. - We had a wonderful time on this excursion with Gabe as our guide. Even before pickup, he was in touch with us to confirm his arrival time. This took any stress away and allowed us to start the trip relaxed and happy. The van was very comfortable and since they limit the number of participants (ours had 7 total) everyone got along fabulously. Gabe has a great sense of humor and was able to share his knowledge of the island easily. Each stop was beautiful and offered something different. Although the itinerary was a bit different than what the website stated, Gabe assured me it would be even better. I have to agree that he was right on all accounts. Our lunch stop was incredibly good. The entire group raved to the owner how good it was. Watching the sun set at the cliffs was a lasting memory. All in all it was a wonderful day and we can look back on our beautiful pictures to remember it by. Thanks Gabe.

Honolulu sea cliff with sunset photo adventure - Due to rain we missed a sunset but still enjoyed the tour. The view from Tantalus was spectacular. Waimānalo beach was beautiful and seeing the surfers at China Walls was a perfect end to the day even without the sunset. Our guide was very knowledgable. Had a tasty meal and malasadas for dessert.

Amazing tour, amazing views, and an amazing guide! - I really liked this tour and the tour guide, Hui (not sure how to spell her name, but, she is the only female guide). She took us to all the hot spots for the views and even took us to a yummy local spot for a snack. The garlic shrimp at this place was super good! She even stopped at a Leonard's food truck to get us all Malasadas (a really good donut) to eat while watching the sunset at this really amazing cliffside spot, China Walls. This place was really beautiful and even though it was too cloudy to really see the sunset, it didn't really matter, the views were still spectacular. The tour guide herself was really great and you can tell she is really passionate about this job and giving everyone a great tour. We had such a diverse group in our tour but it worked out well! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour! - Our guide, Nue (spelling?), was great! She was very informative, providing us with information on many different aspects of Oahu and the Hawaiian Islands. The stops she took us to were amazingly beautiful! Our group felt we were the luckiest group because we had Nue as our guide. Plus, she introduced us to an unforgettable Hawaiian treat, the malasada! We also were grateful for our small group, which quickly formed a cohesive & friendly little band of travelers. Thank you, Nue! ❤️

Very educational and fun. - Our tour operator Nui Wilson was very nice and knowledgeable of island since she was a native of Hawaii. Tour excursions were fun and beautiful. Added bonus was a donut filled with different creams and a drink. Sunset was great and location was good because we saw body surfing and boogie boarders. Would recommend

Kind, Smart, and Knowledgeable - Kurt is the ultimate smart and energetic guide. Sensitive to the dynamics of small groups and quickly identifies their interests. Action oriented- highly knowledgeable about photography, photo techniques and directing. China Walls sunset shoot was awesome.
