Stopped at the top of the Pali Lookout for breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below. This lived up to all the hype. There is a very large parking lot, a bathroom, and wild chickens running around the top. Walk around and all the way down to the walkway to the edge and all of the land below is spread... More

First, the drive up to the Pali is enjoyable driving through the Hawaiian greenery. Once you get to the parking lot, there is a fee you must pay to park. Then take a short walk to lookout. But hold onto your hat and small children, the wind is extremely strong on the Pali. Once you have adapted to the wind,... More

I went on a day when it was sunny and completely clear. You could see for miles into the ocean. The views are stunning. If you visit Oahu and don't come here, you will miss something that will stay in your mind forever. PROS: - Breathtaking, panoramic views. - A warm wind to cool you down on a hot day.... More

In the final days of King Kamehameha wars to unify the Hawaiian Islands, the Battle of Nuʻuanu in May 1795 was a key battle site. This attraction not only marks that event but provides a breath taking view of windward Oahu and marks the location in which the leeward and windward sides of the island were linked in the bygone...

Strong winds and a thick haze didn't deter my brother and me from heading to this lookout. We were driving south on the Kamehameha Highway (Rte 83) in Kaneohe, Hawaii when we turned right onto Pali Highway (Rte 61). We followed the signs to the Nuuanu Pali State Wayside where the lookout is located. I remember my brother telling me... More

The first reaction to the lookout is that it is breathtaking - your second reaction is the wind - it is almost always windy, we were told, but in good weather, you will get some spectacular views of the valley. Parking is $3, which seemed a bit excessive for a few minute stop....

I have seen the Pali lookout as I drive to and from Town (Waikiki) and I've always wanted to check it out. I drove to the lookout point and was surprised to see that there was paid parking. Luckily I am a local resident so I did not have to pay. The view was amazing but I was nervous to... More

Well worth a visit. Only 30mins outside of Honolulu, and the drive there is very scenic. The lookout is high on the mountain, huge winds, and you can see all through the city/town, all the way up to the ocean. This was the first thing we did when we landed in Honolulu, and were just amazed! It's also fun to... More

If you visit Nuuanu Pali lookout you'll get some great pictures from the lookout and learn a little bit about why the area is so special. The parking and entry are free, and the walk to the lookout is very easy and short from the parking lot, you don't even have to get on a trail. It can get very... More
