Additional Information
Join us for an entertaining afternoon through to evening activity which is unlike any other on offer in the islands.
Our adventure begins with a visit to a fantastic location to admire the sunset. We have several options to select from, ensuring a unique experience each time. While we can’t always provide the classic ocean sunset, the setting is guaranteed to be distinctive.
Once darkness falls, we’ll relocate to a darkness-filled area where the fun truly begins. Here, your guide will introduce you to the art of light painting. If this is your first time, even better. You’ll be able to compose night-time masterpieces using our tools.
We suggest bringing a camera that allows for long exposure settings. If you’re lacking one, not to worry, your guide will snap some shots with their camera and forward you a link post-tour.
Please bear in mind this tour deviates from the norm. It’s more about enjoyment and acquiring a new skill.
For any queries, do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Great experience - Malcolm was excellent. We got a comedian and a tour guide all in one. He got us an Hawaiian donut, took us to the best stops for photos and was playful with our kids. I highly recommend this tour and Malcolm is your guy.

Fun experience - After miscommunication for pickup (their fault not ours) the trip was really great! Mac was an excellent guide, very informative and funny. The light painting was really cool and we got great pictures with the time lapse setting which Mac showed us how. I think it was the best part and he shows you how to write or draw in the air. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

What a BLAST! - Mac, our tour guide was an exciting, knowledgable, and energetic - AND HE DELIVERED a Great Tour!
We had a group of three customers. We all had a great time,
we got some yummy donuts, then
1. stop 1 shooting the Sunset on a beach -- WOW great location amazing pictures by all
2. Light painting - OMG this was a colorful experience and shooting was GREAT
3. We also did more light painting using lit steel wool swirled (safely) on the beach - SPECTACULAR!
Luckily I brought my tripod and was shooting 30 second exposures to capture all images.
Mac made the trip go from a scale of 1-10 go to a 15
suggestions to Oahu Photography night Tour
maybe some tripods that can hold cellphones for customers to get that extra sharp photo at night

Amazing tour - Unfortunately, the great time was over too quickly. Our photographer Mac first took us to a great spot to photograph the sunset. The second stop of the evening was the light painting. Mac took a lot of time to explain how it works and also took care of the settings of the phone. So it was possible for us to make great pictures. At the third stop we did our own little "fire" show. Absolutely safe. Mac himself also makes photos and has made them available to us directly in the evening. We had an exciting, fun and informative evening, which we will remember for many years thanks to the great photos. If we are back in Hawaii, we will definitely book this tour again. Thank you very much Mac
Ps all pictures at this post were made by phone

Special and interesting experience! - The guide is cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. Our tour had only three people including us which made me feel like a VIP experience. The tour guide managed time for us very well, treating us some yummy food when waiting for sunset and actively taking photos for us with fantastic views. The sunset viewing and light painting experience is amazing! Strongly recommended!

Unexpected but so Awesome!!! - Recommend this experience if you’re looking for a beautiful spot to see the sunset at and get great pictures! Andrew was super cool and had a lot of great suggestions on where to go for the best time in Honolulu! The locations were a little unexpected but it felt like we got to experience where most locals go to have a good time!

Sunset & light Painting - Had a great time with Mac on our photo tour! The other party never showed up so we ended up having a private tour. Aside from being very helpful with our phones/cameras Mac was also very personable and easy to talk with. The only downside was the gale force winds we had to deal with which were insane! But we had a nice time at China Walls for the sunset (also saw whales breaching) and then saw the moon rising from Makapu'u. The steel wool was new to me and very interesting as well as the light painting! Lots of fun, and Mac shared his photos with us after but we got a lot of good shots of our own. Highly recommend this tour. So very sorry his camera lens was broken when the wind blew over our tripods but otherwise it was a very fun night!
