Where to Photograph in Hawaii

I will be in Honolulu in July 2010 for a few weeks. My wife will be in business meetings during one week, so I am trying to figure out an agenda of places for me to photograph while she's in meetings. Ideally, I'd like to be able to be back in Honolulu by 6 p.m..

Any suggestions of excellent nature places to photograph? Doesn't need to be popular or well known (although it can be), just beautiful locations and fairly easily accessible (not a mountain climber).

Thanks!

Lots of options, but my favorites are Wimea Falls (not spelled correctly), Valley of Temples, and a glider ride from over at Dillingham Field on the North Shore. All very different experiences, but all really worthwhile. The glider ride will be a lifetime-type experience. Wow!

I used to live in Hawaii years ago and one of my favorite spots was the view of Honolulu as described in the above link. Beautiful during the day and absolutely incredible at night!

Been to the Islands several times and on Oahu and in addition to the above would suggest the Botanical Gardens of the UofH and almost any stop along the North Shore..

If you can get away to Kauai for a couple days you will have amazing photo opportunities there. The Na Pali coast and Waimea canyon area are incredible.

I just got back from a week in Oahu. After visiting the island several times I'd say the windward side has much more clouds over the leeward - which can many times (though not always) equal dramatic sunrises/sunsets. And the mountains on that side are so sculpted by the rain they just look incredible. The Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden is a great area to photograph birds, flowers, etc... and is located in a great location for mountain views. Waimea Falls Park is also another nice location for birds and flowers. Agree with Michael that the NaPali Coast and Waimea Canyon on Kauai are incredible - as is Hawaii Volcanoes NP on the Big Island. If you have access to an underwater camera housing, you could try for some underwater snorkeling shots (some great areas to snorkel on the Big Island are Hanauma Bay (way too overcrowded and a bit trampled but also as a result the fish are quite friendly) and Shark's Cove (north shore)). Definitely recommend a good guidebook (such as the Hawaii Revealed series).
Edit: also be aware if you visit the Big Island that the 'vog' from the active volcano can potentially have a negative impact on sunrises/sunsets. Last year on a visit it was so bad it was like a foggy day in San Francisco (except warmer) - Kona didn't even have what I'd call a sunset.

I really enjoyed shooting the leeward (east) side of the Big Island; and of course, there's the volcano - if it's active.

Thank you for the suggestions and ideas. Looks like I will have plenty of places to go and shoot while my wife is in her business meetings. Gotta buy a few more cards!!
