These are the Best Places to Photograph on Oahu

Oahu is an Instagram account that is always on the move. We were able to find numerous photo spots on the island, from laid-back North Shore to bustling South Shore. It is also home to many local residents making it extremely affordable.

Oahu has never been more accessible. The flights are cheaper and it is easier to travel to Oahu from home by car. Valencio Visuals elevates this experience.

Diamond Head

This is a challenging climb with spectacular views. Diamond Head is one the most beautiful spots on Oahu. Aka, don't miss it!

You can make it easy if you have the right footwear. You will face many bumps and windy roads as you travel to the extinct Hawaiian volcano cone, which is located near Waialua Beach Park. Another option is to descend into an old lava tube where you can only see darkness.

Lanikai Pillbox Hike

This hike is unique on Oahu. This hike is notable for its beautiful scenery, which also includes many historic military bunkers. You'll see colorful, graffiti-covered structures as you trek along your route. Some have guns. You can expect stunning views like those at Lanikai Beach or Honokeana Bay Park. There will be lots of swaying palms and clear turquoise water. Two mokes hang from the ground below them.

Staircase to Heaven Haiku Stairs

These photos of the narrow, rustic staircase running through the Hawaiian mountains are probably familiar to you from Instagram. It sounds incredible! It sounds amazing! These stairs were built originally for soldiers during World War II to enable them to access their radio antenna at the top. They are technically illegal in today's world (since the 1980s), so don't get too excited. Many people still climb these steps despite knowing that they pose dangers.

Tantalus Lookout

Many locations offer breathtaking views of Oahu. One such spot is Tantalus Lookout, Puu Ualakaa State Park. Because you can see Diamond Head from this spot, and the Waikiki skyline from it, it is a favorite spot. You can also capture amazing sunset photos, which gives you a truly global view in a very short time.

Parking is limited so make sure to arrive early. It may be more difficult to drive down the windy mountain road. Enjoy the outdoors with your blanket while you observe the changing colors.
