Private Honolulu Sea Cliff Sunset Photo Tour

Overview

The private Honolulu sunset photo tour by Oahu Photography Tours is a 5-hour van outing ending with an hour on East Oahu sea cliffs at sunset, from $400 for up to 3 guests. It suits couples and small families who want a guide to photograph them. The drawback is terrain: the operator rates it Hard.

Highlights

• Flat private rate: $400 for up to 3 guests, $600 for up to 5, $800 for up to 7 (operator site, October 2026).
• Starts 4 hours before sunset and ends 1 hour after, 5 hours total, daily.
• Stops at Pali Lookout, a volcanic crater botanical garden, Halona Blowhole and Lanai Lookout before the sea-cliff sunset.
• Greetwell's version adds Tantalus Lookout and one Leonard's malasada per person.
• Intensity rated Hard by the operator; the sunset site is reached over uneven, steep rock.
