Watch the island dawn from scenic lookouts and savor a fresh malasada to start your day.
3 Hours
Guide, malasada, coffee
Greet the day on Oahu’s eastern shore as the sun rises over Sandy Beach and Makapuʻu Lookout, then indulge in a warm malasada and coffee. This relaxed 3-hour outing lets you make the most of early jet-lag hours while learning insider tips from your guide.
Bring only what you can carry, as nothing is left in the vehicle. Wear comfortable shoes and pack your own drink; a light jacket is recommended for the cool morning.

What really stands out here is how consistently excellent the individual guides are. Kurt, Mac, Chris, Andrew, and Alex each get glowing mentions for their knowledge, personality, and photography expertise. These aren't just drivers shuttling people around—they're skilled photographers who genuinely know how to help travelers capture better shots, whether you're using a professional camera or just your phone. Multiple reviewers mention learning useful techniques they applied throughout the rest of their trips. The tours feel well-paced and thoughtfully planned, hitting scenic spots at optimal times without feeling rushed. Guides clearly tailor their approach to the group, keeping everyone engaged with stories about Hawaiian culture and history. Little touches matter too—like Kurt going out of his way to return a forgotten hat to someone's hotel. The small group format seems to create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone leaves with both great photos and genuinely memorable experiences. Several reviewers specifically noted these tours outshone other bigger tours they tried on the island.
We had such an amazing time on the Oahu Photography Tour! Our guide Mac was the best, super fun, friendly, and kept the whole day entertaining. The tour was about 9–10 hours, but it honestly didn’t feel that long because we were having such a great time. Mac took us to some of the most scenic spots around Oahu, including a few hidden gems, and snapped awesome photos for us. He kept everyone laughing with his jokes, treated the group to Leonard’s malasadas (so good!), and even managed to fit in a quick coffee tour on our way back. The whole group was great, and Mac’s energy really made the experience extra special. Oahu is stunning, and seeing it through this tour made it even better. Highly recommend!
