Just awesome if you do more than just look from the parking lot lol. Go on the other side of the wall and walk out to get some great pics. If you know a local or someone who can get you to the cave that passes underneath this lookout, go there! The cave is awesome and it leads to an even better, up close and personal view of the ocean and sea creatures right at your feet. You will get some amazing photos as well.

Feel the great power of mighty nature. Big wind gust, huge splashing waves. I felt very very tiny standing at this lookout, and all life problems no longer seem to matter compared to the view in front of my eyes. It was very refreshing, quite glad to have made this stop!

Amazing view! And love how connected you feel with the island. You can really see the blue florescent waters. And the little hike down is worth the struggle. But I would recommend wearing non slip shoes. And definitely take pictures

COVID has been great for us locals. No crowds cause no tourists so parking was great!

Really great views of waves slamming into the shore. Nice views

This picture says it all - breathtakingly beautiful!!!

Great place to shoot Milky Way photos on a calm and clear night!

Huge waves on cliffs. Amazing look out off the coast highway. Climbing to the top of the cliffs was not encouraged but some were able to to take some nice photos

Great place to experience the sunrise in the morning. Views are excellent. Not very many parking spots so get there early. You will be amazed by the view of the vast ocean, big mountains, coves and cliffs.

Love this place, its incredible...the water is perfectly beautiful with several shades of blue. You can see whales offshore here and the breeze is always steady which feels great because it can get warm over on that part of the island

Another amazing lookout! Easily accessible with amazing views and has an old war bunker very close to the lookout.

The lookout is one of my favorite places to go but every time I go I end up picking up the trash of others. In less then an hour I picked up countless cigarette filters, straws, lids, and plastic bags that hurt and kill our wildlife.

Awesome lookout. Very interesting geological surroundings. Take care down by the water, known to have large dangerous swells at times.

Absolutely incredible!

Pretty lookout, nice layering.

Beautiful views! Parking isnt too bad either.

Very few stalls to park yet can get pretty crowded. Awesome spot for some island scenery/postcard photos. Need to be there on a clearer day though.

You can see Molokai Maui and Lanai all from that view. It is gorgeous and if Im correct thats the order you see the islands from left to right

Definitely a scenic spot on the south east coast of Oahu. Panoramic views of the ocean and also you can see rock formations very well because of lava flow over millions and millions of years.Definitely recommend to stop over and enjoy the view.Better to go during the early or late part of day since midday is usually heavily crowded and it is tough to find a parking spot here.You can actually step out of the parking and walk a bit further to feel little adventurous.

Lana lookout allows for a great view, one can see for miles. Pull over on the right to a small parking lot allowing for everyone to enjoy a beautiful Hawaiian lookout. Take your self around the island and on a clear day you can see the other islands and feel the wind bring fresh air into your life. Check out the view on to the beach below and get ready for more of nature as you drive around Honolulu.

Just beautiful. This is the prettiest, most scenic drives of my entire life. As soon as we turned this one bend of the road, my eyes instantly welled up because the beauty of it was so overwhelming Definitely a must-see when in Oahu.

Absolutely beautiful place and really enjoyable hike. A must see for any visitors

What can I say that the pictures below won’t say fir themselves. Just amazing out of this world viewsCaution - if you dare to travel below the kava rock small fence as I did - please pay attention to the water and lose gravel! You will easily slip and slide it’s lava rock it can be sharp! Not to mention that rouge waves are know to crash up onto the rocks! Be safe and be ready to save yourself if need be! No lifeguard on duty except for a lifeguard stick that floats and is visible!

SAVE THIS STOP FOR LAST!!! This was our highlight! Go everywhere else first trust me save this spot for the climax. Beautiful area. We climbed over the wall and went down towards the water. Slippery because of the steep decline and loose gravel, so be careful.

Awesome spot to stop and take pics and enjoy the view. Quite a bit of parking, would recommend checking it out when youre driving along the East Coast.

Beautiful, even though it was pouring rain

Very serene and beautiful views. Can easily walk down if wearing sneakers. It just gets more and more beautiful as you walk down the rocks.

Cool spot to snap some photos! The waves crashing along the volcanic rock was breathtaking.

Its is a definetely must see view point. Parking can be problematic but would recommend everyone to take a break here.

Best lookout in Hawaii Kai. You can skip others but not this one

Fun little tourist-y spot!

Nice stop along an island drive around. Per someone else, just wait and a parking spot will free soon. You need to go over the wall to get best views. Note there is a sign to not go any further, although it appears everyone was well beyond the sign to get best photo and selfies. It is pretty far from the water unless you climb all the way down, but not set up for stairs, so at your own risk. Looks fairly manageable you can climb wall level easily.

You can see whales from here!I just didnt get any pictures because I was too busy actually looking at them. Very cool.

If you are driving east along the coast and wanting to quickly stretch your legs then this is a great stop. The parking may be full when you first pull up, just wait for a few moments as people are constantly in and out of this parking lot. You will be able to see what the waves have done to the rocks over time and the amazing design on the rocks. If you hop the wall (at your own risk) you can walk down to get a closer look. The rocks if wet and also the sandy parts can be slick so be careful. You will love the designs on the rocks...they are great for photos. This is one of the quick pull outs that is says is worth the quick stop.

Gorgeous views!! Very peaceful. I captured some great pictures.

Great place to see the sunrise and we saw this neat rainbow

This might be one of the prettiest places Ive ever seen. The view is spectacular, and stunning. This should be a must see for anyone visiting Oahu.

Another breathtaking, scenic lookout in the highway and is great place for your Hawaii Instagram clicks, with a view offering the deep blue waters and cliffs.The best part is you get to enjoy the breathtaking view without any hikes and the most difficult part is to get a parking.

Simply amazing views! The sights and sounds make a trip to Oahu a bucket list item!

When travelling counterclockwise around Oahu on Hwy 72, this is your first good viewpoint for the rugged, non-beach coast. Waves violently splash spray up on the stratified rock layers that seem to dive into the ocean.

This view is amazing if you get a chance to go and view you wont be disappointed. Definitely and Island vibe to it and there are a few different spots as well!

Lanai lookout has amazing views, and if you are brave (or crazy) enough you can go all the way down to the tip - but I dont recommend doing that!

Such a great spot! Love the cliff side and that you can wander around a bit if you want. Downside is the parking lot is fairly small so sometimes it’s a waiting game to get in.

Nice spot to stop and check out! During whale season is a great time to go spot dome whales.

Its basically a small parking area with a great view of the cliffs, the ocean, and sometimes the neighboring islands.

Dinky little parking lot—park at the shooting range and make your way to the Toilet Bowl instead!

Lookout is below Koko Crater. Spend time here if you have to wait to get into Hanauma Bay because the parking lot is full.

Beautiful, pictures do it no justice

Great view as we stopped by here before heading back to Waikiki. If you feeling adventurous you can climb the rails, get some good shots with a tripod and also nearly ruin your Sony DSLR $5k setup with some big waves crashing into the rocks sporadically like I did. Worth it.

Awesome lookout! Great stop on the drive around Oahu

There is a very small car park, for about 7 or 8 cars so you have to be quite lucky in order to stop here. Because its quite dangerous, there is a short wall that, in theory, shouldnt be jumped over, but everybody did that. Once passed, you can walk, at your own risk, until the end of the cliffs.

Amazing look out point to see how the sea is able to sculpt the rocks with unrelenting crashes of waves. Parking is free, but is limited.

I was amazed how beatiful the view was and loved the ocean breeze. I pretty much almost died here BUT it was hella fun!! Just wish there was a bathroom or something here so that people wouldnt have to hold it in, which is bad for the body. Other than that, its amazing

Went freediving here.Certainly the most exciting dive I have done.Wouldn’t get in a without a local guide unless:- You are very comfortable in rough water- Winds and swells are down- You are comfortable swimming at least a mile in open water (in case you get swept out and need to exit elsewhere)- You have studied the site and the information there is online, and found the “bathtub” exit and are comfortable exiting from there- you have been hit against rocks beforeIf all of the above are true, continue to exercise caution.

Nice lookout to see pacific ocean and rocks

Available parking, nice views, lavatube access to coast, and its a good fishing spot, too. Worth an hour of your day for sure.

Beautiful place to see the ocean and all its splender and power.

A nice lookout but can be hard to find a parking.

Beautiful scenic lookout. Make sure to keep your belongings with you and dont leave anything valuable visible in the car. Be nice to the Police! They are there to help and protect you.

Nice walk up to lighthouse lookout. Paved road and parking was okay, but it was Christmas day. Beautiful views!

A must-see point. Beautiful

Beautiful sunrise

The two of us together in this magical place was absolutely breathtaking. You could feel the power of the ocean, and observe the geological wonders from 10 thousand years ago. Morning rise was absolutely worth it.

Went at night and this is one beautiful location.

Except for a guy who spent the entire morning on the phone telling everyone he was in Hawaii, it was breathtaking.

Beautiful must see for svenic view

I highly recommend coming here! This was the best place for taking photos and enjoying the land around me! I came here just passing it and I am thankful I did! It was so beautiful!!

So beautiful here. Need to see for yourself.Saw a few people get close to the shore and a police officer had to call them all back. There was a wall and sign that said dont climb over but ppl do anyway... The officer said a couple got swept away cuz they got too close to the water.

Amazing view, get a rental car and drive around.

AMAZING!! LOOK OUT..PARKING AVAILABLE

Do stop here for a quick view.Its a nice view and they have few parking spots. You dont have to detour to visit this . Its on the side of the highway to makapu summit from Hanauma bay.

Wonderful and light tour, recommend it tó everyone!

This place was amazingly beautiful, even in the wind and rain. The surf was huge, but it also has a hidden beach that is blocked from the wind. Stunning!

Nice place to relax

Amazing destination for a quick stop if you have seen it all in Waikiki. This area provides you for a very fun adventure. Lovely winds as well!For Lost-fans: This area was used in several episodes in various hiking scenes in this hit TV show and appeared in season 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Great for photos, just watch yourself in relation to the sea if you explore.

It’s a beautiful scenic beach. Skip the overcrowded wakiki beach and come to lanai. Parking might be hard to find since it’s in the rich residential area. Follow the crowd and you’ll find the entrance to this beautiful beach.

What a gorgeous spot, it was quite windy and the parking is severely limited but it is worth the wait if you arent pressed for time.

Awesome view!

Neat stop. Make sure you take the path down to see the lava tube!

If youre in the Koko area make the walk over to the lookout. Picturesque views of the oceanfront. My friends/family didnt even believe me when I said the pictures werent photoshopped. Its simply gorgeous. Take an Uber or Lyft over for a few dollars. Easily worth it.

So pretty, very scenic, beautiful blue water. There was a strong wind that day and the speay from the ocean was amazing.

Very pretty and scenic and what makes you appreciate the beauty of Hawaii.

A nice lookout with a nice parking lot

This is a great place to stop. We were able to see a HUGE turtle out in the water.

Great drive worth a car rental

A very beautiful place for a quick stop.

Beautiful, stunning viewpoint! Stay safe and take amazing photos even though photos can never do the views justice.

Awesome place to take photos

Stopped here as this, as I was told, was a prime spot for seeing whales breach as its the passing way for whales between the islands. I was actually lucky enough to capture a whale breaching its fin as there will be a series of pictures Ive attached that show this feat! There are also a few pictures of blow hole spouts.Parking is iffy as spots are limited. Oftentimes, its treacherous trying to get out of the parking lot especially if youre heading west as there is limited visibility to your east. May take a few minutes to execute your turn but it beats getting broadsided or going over the ditch edge on opposite side of road... Youll have a helluva time getting outta that one!The Lookout has great scenery, beautiful dark blue waters and weathered cliffs facing the ocean. Not too far southwest of this spot, there is the Kahauloa Cove, as marked on Google Maps.

The Lookout is great and all, but to get the best experience, find the secret cave, about 100m to the north of the Lookout. We Love this secret place. You park at the Lookout, cross the highway, head north to a non-descript bridge/overpass, scramble down the non-ocean side of the bridge to a small tunnel (there is a spray painted arrow on the bridge pointing the way). The tunnel is not very tall, so if you are 74 like me, prepare to duck a bit and bring a flashlight as the tunnel has a lot of potholes.Not many tourists go here because it is not the typical Waikiki/Honolulu/east side beaches thing. A word of caution, it is also a bit dangerous to get to as you have to cross the highway, then parallel to the highway. Once you pop out of the cave, you can climb down the cliff to the waters edge but be careful and not get to close. A rogue wave could easily pull you into the water and no one is going to get you out alive.

Beautiful view, parking area, busy tourist area, great photo opts. BLUE WATER!

Nice view point. But not overly impressive. Might be fun climbing over wall and climbing down a bit. Looked like there were some fisherman camped out at the bottom.

Great place to look out both the ocean and the Koko head

Very good place to stargaze and watching the sunrise!

Wonderful, not overly crowded and amazing views

So beautiful ️

Come early and you will be able to get parking. Great view and sometimes youll be able to see sea turtles and monk seals.

Spectacular views of the rugged volcanic coastline of southeast Oahu from this roadside lookout. you can see the islands of Molokai and Lanai from here on a clear day.

Amazing views
