A great way to spend an afternoon! Emily was our guide and she was a complete delight with lots of fun information to share. Stops were great and scenic. Photo tips were an added bonus - my pic are so great. The write up didn't say we were going for dinner, but the stop was local and independent, something I always appreciate! I would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful tour!

We very much enjoyed this tour!! Chris was a wonderful tour guide, he made sure we got to experience all the wonderful things the eastern side of Oahu has to offer. We even saw a turtle and a whale! It was a small tour, only 3 of us and it was fantastic. Chris is a great tour guide, he knows a lot about the history of the area. Some of the spots you visit are also more well-known with the locals if that tells you anything. I would book this tour again and recommend to anyone considering. Thank you Chris!

Chris was Awesome!!!!

Kerri_M, Aug 2025
This was an amazing time! Chris was our tour guide. If you only do 1 thing while visiting O’ahu do this tour and ask for Chris! He took us to some great locations and we hit the sunset at the perfect time!!! Well done Chris!!!

Nice trip

Great tour

Mac did a great tour. We went to some amazing locations and he gave us some good tips. The malasada pastries were amazing too!

Absolutely beautiful views.

Robyn_P, Oct 2024
We enjoyed the experience. We saw many beautiful views and were given a lot of information about each place. The photographers showed us how to adjust our cameras to get the best picture. Andrew and Emily were so fun and very good informative. They have so much knowledge when it comes to cameras.

Best Island Tour

Theresa_W, Oct 2024
Wonderful photographer and tour guide. Beautiful locations for photo shoot. Photographer was also an instructor who gave useful tips on the camera/phone everyone used. The best photos of my trip were from this tour. I will definitely book future photo tours with this company.

An Afternoon of Breathtaking Beauty

Karen_D, Sep 2024
Alex was our personal tour guide. After 20 years on the island he is full of local knowledge & can answer any questions. He is very interested in helping you get the best photos of the breathtaking spots he takes you to. Alex tailored the afternoon to our interests & abilities.

Sunset phot tour

Tammy_C, Jun 2024
We had an amazing afternoon. Our tour guide Kurt Steven’s is the best. He catered our tour to the people in our group. We started out visiting the Tantalus. We an awesome site to view the skyline! We visited the crater, The botanical gardens, blow hole, and ended up watching the sunset at China wall! He even stopped along the way for some Hawaiian style donuts which we enjoyed at the Botanical Gardens. We had the best afternoon viewing sites in Hawaii that we would’ve seen had not been for our tour guide, Kurt! He took the time to explain to us how to take some beautiful pictures which will always be treasured . We highly recommend Kurt for a sunset photo tour.

True Overview of Oahu

JOHN_B, Apr 2024
Andrew was engaging, informed, and just fun to be with! Ours was not a heavy-duty photography tour, but everyone learned something and had a great time. Highly recommend this tour - you will see Oahu from a unique perspective.

Disappointing

Terry_S, Feb 2024
Really didn’t see anything that you couldn’t do on your own and in less time. Went to view 4 beaches and water.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Terry, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It sounds like you joined us for the Sea-Cliff Sunset Tour, a journey that indeed takes us beyond the familiar sights of Waikiki. While it's true that the locations we visit are accessible to the public, the essence of our tour lies not just in the destinations themselves but in the enriched experience we strive to provide. Our aim is to guide you through these scenic spots while offering insights into the history and significance of each area, enhancing the experience with stories and facts that you might not discover on your own. Additionally, we pride ourselves on assisting our guests in capturing the beauty of these locations through photography, sharing tips and techniques to take back memories in the best light. The highlight of our tour, the sunset spot, is particularly special. It's a place of breathtaking beauty that, despite its accessibility, remains a hidden gem that few would stumble upon without guidance. We apologize for any confusion that may have arisen from the tour description, and we're grateful for the opportunity to clarify our mission: to offer not just a tour, but a unique and memorable experience. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to have the pleasure of your company on another adventure soon.

Great tour with a great guide!

Ruben_R, Jan 2024
Gabe was an awesome tour guide! Really engaging and made the trip more fun and enjoyable. The scenery was amazing and seeing local spots was very nice compared to the normal tourist spots. The food we tried was also all good!

Excellent tour.

Ronald_S, Jan 2024
Gabe was our guide and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the area and fun to be with. We stopped at some truly beautiful location for excellent photos. Highly recommended this tour if you’re looking for some great photo locations.

Amazing tour, amazing views, and an amazing guide!

rkravitz1130, Dec 2023
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!

Mark_E, Dec 2023
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! ❤️

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We are happy to know that we could make your tour delightful. We look forward to showing you more of the island next time you are in town.

Very educational and fun.

BARBARA_G, Dec 2023
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

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.

Sunset on the cliffs

Steve_M, Aug 2023
Viator messed up our reservations, but Oahu Photography figured it out and it was an excellent tour. Our guide, Nui, was wonderful. We learned about Hawaiian culture, and she gave us some tips for having the best experience possible. We met some great people on this tour.

Beautiful sights

Our guide was fun and informative. He took us to some beautiful locations. Unfortunately we missed the sunset because it decided to rain instead, but I did get some amazing shots of surfers along the rocks, so we'll worth it.

Alex was an amazing guide and we couldn't have asked for a better way to see the sights of the south eastern shore. Wish we had time to do more of the Oahu Photography tours, they had some really amazing tours to choose from
