Beautiful Colors Hawaii Photo Tour
What your day looks like
We offer our Beautiful Colors of Hawaii Photo Tour for those interested in seeing the best colors of the islands and those that wish to photograph majestic locations around our beautiful island of Oahu. This is also our easiest-paced tour, with only short walks here and there, so it is excellent for anyone with trouble getting around. This tour focuses on the fantastic blue ocean waters and beautiful skies of the gathering place, our island home, Oahu! Our first stop is at the Tantalus Lookout. Here, we will capture the panoramic views from high above the cityscape. You'll see from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor from this magnificent perch, and you might be able to spot your hotel from up here. Then we will continue to the famous Pali Lookout, which offers panoramic views of the sheer Koolau cliffs and lush windward coast. This is a site of deep historical significance. Named Pali, meaning cliff in Hawaiian, the Pali Lookout is the site of the Battle of Nuuanu, where in 1795, King Kamehameha won the struggle that finally united Oahu under his rule. Wait until you see the height of this cliff! Next, you will see the Ko'olau mountain range from the ground level. Here you will witness the beautiful lines of thousands of years of erosion by water. We might see over 50 waterfalls coming down the 2000-foot cliffs if lucky. We will visit Ono Steaks & Shrimp Truck for lunch, which offers Hawaiian specialties like garlic shrimp, seafood, and fish tacos. Then we will walk along the longest uninterrupted white-sand beach on Oahu, lined with amazingly unique Australian ironwood trees, at Waimanalo Bay Beach Park. This beach carries the honor of being named the #1 Beach in America many times, and you'll understand after your visit. After, we will continue to explore the area for stellar photo opportunities, stopping by Makapuu Lookout, Sandy Beach, and the Blow Hole Lookout. You'll capture the stunning landscape of East Oahu, leaving you breathless. Before we head back into Waikiki, we want to leave you with a good taste in your mouth. We will treat you to a Malasada from the famous Leonard's bakery—a perfect way to end this one-of-a-kind tour.

What travelers are saying
Excellent
Highly recommend! Pace was great and tour guide brought a lot of energy! Answered all of our questions about the island!
It was everything we had hoped for. Such beauty!! Chris was the cherry on top of our Sunday. He was informative, funny, fun to be with, warm and friendly. I would choose his tours every time.
This tour was amazing and beautiful! Out tour guide Andrew was not only amusing but very knowledgeable of his work and gave us lots of tips on how to take beautiful photos. He took us to a super delicious place to eat lunch , took us to an incredible breathtaking views and we even got complimentary Malasadas which would recommend to everyone. It was out 10th wedding anniversary while in Hawaii so my husband and I really enjoyed our time. Thank you so much!
We took this tour on our second day in Waikiki. Since it was our 1st time in Oahu this tour gave us an idea of where the beautiful places were. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Well worth the time and cost.
I expected a photographer who would give helpful hints on how to take better pictures. Long distance photos are not great. I would prefer to be up-close to many of Hawaii's beautiful locations. Also, there was too much time spent in the car. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining.
