What you'll do
Please read: This tour will take you out at night to get photos. If you have a smartphone, you will have a hard time unless you have the new phones with night mode. We still have many people join with phones but please do not be made because we couldn't make your phone get photos of the stars. We take photos during the tour for you to have if you do not have a good camera.
This activity is going to be an epic experience for all travelers. These days it is hard to find a place to escape the bright lights of the city to reconnect with the night sky. We have created an amazing experience where you will be able to not only witness the night sky and all the stars but also capture this unbelievable display of light.
We will start off high on the Makapuu lookout for a cool shot of the bay and then head over to the beach where you will be able to see the night sky above this amazing bay and lighthouse.
After nailing the skills down for these photos, we will head over to the Hawaii Kai lookout for another night shot of the mountains and the city.
Heading over to the Tantalus lookout, we will see the Waikiki and Honolulu city lights from this point.
Our last stop if time allows and you are not passing out by this time, will be Kakaako street art. The light painting and long exposers here are amazing.
Along the way, you will be able to use our cool lights for light painting.

Where you'll be
We will head out of the city to great spots on the Eastside of the island. The best spot is going to be in the Makapu'u area. Here you will be able to create art with our lights and capture images of the stars with your camera. Phones will not pick up the best start photos but you will be giving a link to the photos we take that night. A few other spots in this area will be visited.

Incredible! I've been doing photography for a while now but always struggled with astro and super low light settings. I figured my out of the box lens was the issue and planned to just upgrade to one with more bells and whistles. I wasn't hoping for much going on this tour with my ultra basic kit lens but figured worth a shot. Kurt, my guide, was able to step by step show me how to focus properly the kit lens without infinity focus and I was able to take amazing shots all night! I'm super excited to take my new skills for more night shots.

My experience was with Kurt and it was absolutely awesome! Even though there were periods of cloudiness, we were able to get some great shots of the night sky! I was especially excited to learn what more my camera could do and Kurt was super patient and kind when it came to making sure I felt comfortable with it. He was really great in making sure all of us on the photo tour were tended to with equal parts of his time. Now I am super charged up to go out and practice more with it!!! Thank you Kurt and Thank you to Oahu Photo Tours for an unforgettable evening!!!!
