Complete Island Adventure with Waterfall
Spend a full day photographing Oahu with Waimea Valley, North Shore scenery, east-side lookouts and Waikiki transportation included.
Trade city streets for Oahu's legendary North Shore, where rugged coastline, tropical gardens and world-famous surf breaks create a full day of remarkable photo opportunities. The journey reaches places like Banzai Pipeline, where winter waves can rise to more than 50 feet, along with scenic stretches of coastline that reveal the quieter, wilder side of the island.
A 1.5-hour stop at Waimea Valley gives you time to wander through a lush botanical garden filled with tropical plants before reaching the waterfall pond. Take a refreshing swim if conditions allow, photograph the cascading water and enjoy one of the North Shore's most beautiful natural settings.
The route also includes several memorable east coast landmarks. Visit the peaceful Byodo-In Temple beneath the Koolau Mountains, capture broad ocean views from Makapu'u Lookout and watch for sea spray at the Halona Blowhole, where waves force water through a natural lava tube.
