Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Our first stop is great for getting to know each other and get a better understanding of how to take the best photos during the trip.

The best view of the windward side hands down. You will be blown away by these views, literally. It's very very windy up here.

Stop 3

We found a local spot where you can enjoy the protected mountain range without anyone else around. You have never seen anything like this before in your life.

Unreal local food awaits you. Every person that joins our tours gets the opportunity to indulge themselves at this amazing hidden gem.

Stop 5

Voted the best beach in the United States. This is a beach you should not mss but also, never disclose its location :)

Take in the beauty at our favorite location. The colors will amaze you. Ask your guide to help you capture panoramics here.

Stop 7

Watch this lava tube spot out ocean water over 50 feet high. Also a great place to look for wildlife such as whales and turtles
