Nu'uanu Pali Lookout
Nuuanu Pali Dr, Kaneohe, 96744, Hawaii
The Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout is a breathtaking wind-swept cliffside vista on Oʻahu, offering panoramic views of Oʻahu's windward coast and the towering Koʻolau Mountains. This historic site marks the 1795 Battle of Nuʻuanu, where King Kamehameha I secured Oʻahu, forever changing Hawaii's history. At 1,200 feet elevation, the lookout is famous for its powerful trade winds, misty rain showers, and dramatic cloud-covered cliffs. The lush, jagged terrain below—once an ancient Hawaiian trail—adds to its wild beauty. Just a short drive from Honolulu, the Pali Lookout provides a quick escape into nature and history, though strong gusts often make it a short but unforgettable stop.
