Hilton Lagoon Palm Tree Reflection (Sunset)
@vincelimphoto
If you're visiting Oahu and staying in (or nearby) Waikiki, this location at the end of the strip is the perfect place to shoot at sunset. As the sun begins to dip below the ocean's horizon, the sky is illuminated in vibrant, cotton-candy colored clouds. The silhouette of these three palm trees pops against the background and reflects against the calm, smooth water — a scene that's sure to evoke a quintessential Hawaiian vibe.

This image was taken on the Waikiki property of Hilton Hawaiian Village, looking across the Hilton Lagoon toward the row of three palm trees.
To get here, arrive at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki hotel and then walk southwest toward the lagoon, which is next to Kahanamoku Beach. You can also park in Ala Moana Bowls Parking Lot (21.281713, -157.840459) and then walk a short distance north to the lagoon.
Reference the GPS coordinates and you'll be able to get to the exact spot where I stood.
