Here is a tourist spot that is historical and provides a vantage point to view the east side of Oahu. If you are not afraid of heights, then it is a good stop.

Free attraction... One of the most beautiful views of Eastern part of Oahu. Make sure to read about the Hawaiian battle fought at this very point.

1ST TIME EXPERIENCE ON HER 31ST BIRTHDAY.SHE LOVED IT!#KAUAIGIRL

Coming up here from time to time just reminds of how blessed I am to call this place HOME. One oahu historical place from King Kamehameha great battle to the only path travel to windward side until the road was built multiple times.

Beautiful views. Perfect day today, no clouds in the sky.

One of the best lookouts on Oahu. Beautiful view, historical information and plenty of parking. People might want to bring a jacket if they get cold easily.

The lookout is free. But you have to pay a flat rate parking fee of $3, regardless of the time you spend looking out.Someone is always watching/supervising/policing the lot. Be careful.You wont regret the $3 fee. The Pali Lookout is amazing and a great photo op.Aloha.

This place is breathtaking. The views are phenomenal and is a must do when on the island.I recommend going before the sun starts to set as the light conditions are so much better in the morning, or around middayYou have to pay a set fee for parking but it is valid for all day.

Super windy!!! Be sure to wear a jacket! Great spot to take photos.

Great place to stop to admire the stunning views of the towering ex-volcano crater walls, and the lush green vegetation - so beautiful.Parking costs $3 and there is a staff member on hand just in case you have issues with the machine accepting banknotes - using a credit card is the easiest way to pay.

Closed atm (Oct 2020) but we hiked from old pali road from Kailua side.Nice views for sure. Historic place, island unification battle.

In my opinion, this the best 360’ lookout on the island

Absolutely stunning views and interesting history. Well worth the stop if you are driving by it - may even be worth a trip in and of itself. Things to be aware of: parking is somewhat limited and costs money and there are no bathrooms, either on site or anywhere near the lookout.

Nuuanu Pali Lookout is easily accessible off the Pali Highway and a short walk from the parking lot provides beautiful ever changing views of Oahus beautiful, lush mountains, valleys, and coastline. The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is a must see stop for anyone enjoying all Hawaii has to offer.If you enjoy the pictures or find this recommendation useful, please like it and leave a comment or review. Thank you.

This lookout has the most stunning views of the island. High up in the mountains the view looks down the settlements and forest below. Parking is $3 no matter how long you stay. We only stayed for the lookout but there is also a few trails to do. All the money from parking goes to the upkeep of the area. The lookout is about a minute from the car park so we only spent about 10 minutes there. It gets extremely windy up there so youll need to hold on to your hat.

Breathtaking views here! I dont know why the place was so empty when we went. One of the better views you can get in Oahu.

Just an amazing stop. Parking was free and the view is amazing. Its windy as heck, but thats kind of the point. You are on a saddle in the Ridgeline and all the ocean wind is concentrated there. You can see all the places it is raining below you and above you. Definitely a must see and is very handicapped accessible.

Great views and its usually very windy

Words and pictures cant describe the beauty here. When we walked up to the edge my wife said take a picture I replied there is no way I can take a picture of all this beautyYou can see almost everything from here. If you are reading this wondering if its worth it, I assure you it is. Parking cost $3 for some strange reason but $3 is a very small price to pay to see this beautiful work of Gods creation.

Romantic viewpoints. Must stop here to appreciate the island beauty, anytime of the day.

Absolutely fantastic view of the windward side of Oahu from the Nu’uanu Pali Lookout. This is one of the top 10 places everyone must visit in Oahu. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful views. Make sure you have a good set of shoes or boots because the clay can get slippery at times. Parking is $3 or free for military. Took about two hours to complete both hikes.

Great view and worth the stop. In 2019, it cost 3.00 to park there. Not bad for a 10 minute stop but I dont know what it pays for. They could use some handicap rails etc

Beautiful. A bit somber. There were a handful of visitors. We came around 5pm. Windy and a bit cold. It felt so still when we arrived, but by the time we left, the wind was howling through the trees. I found it odd, and a bit eerie that one side of the lookout was really windy, and the other side was almost still. Im sure theres a perfectly good explanation to that, but yeah Ill take the side of folklore and urban legend.

You do pay for parking.... it was just $3 i believe. Tip: This area is unfortunately high car break ins and theft.... do not leave valuables in open sight. It is not always easy for visitors to remember that when you are in the midst of excitement and relaxation. Other than that, its generally a safe area. Very windy, a must see and do experience, absolutely gorgeous and breath taking

Came here because I had to spend time before sunset. It was a very good decision to visit this lookout. Beautiful views of one side of Oahu. Beautiful drive as well.

Super easy drive to this lookout point. You can see far and wide and it’s a nice sunset location. It can get a little chilly and windy so keep that in mind. Not crowded and worth the pit stop. Love to see the clouds meet the mountains.

The view is incredible from this lookout and the plaques throughout the attraction share some history as well. Its a great place to really appreciate Hawaiian culture and their history even if what happened here wasnt great. When we went it was pretty windy so maybe bring a light sweater with you just in case.

Amazing history and amazing view!! 3 dollars for parking is worth every cent. Really a must see!

One of my favorite stops on the island, the view is always amazing. It was crazy windy when we stopped but the views is just as good. I highly recommend this stop to anyone coming to the island, especially if heading to the windward side. Its a short trip off of the highway to get to the spot, and you do have to pay for parking but the view is worth it. If you drive anywhere near here and do not stop, you have failed yourself.

Looks out over the valley, and its worth a 5 minute look, but it isnt anything crazy. Very touristy, I always take visitors here. Good for a few photos if the sun is out, and in the winter it can get super windy.

This was a fantastic stop on my visit to Oahu. Parking is less than $5, but the experience is worth it. There are a few friendly feral cats and chickens that roam around too. Be sure to keep a firm grip on hats, phones or other loose objects because the wind here is STRONG.

The view is amazing. I arrived right as a series of rock slides occurred about 300 feet away, covering the road below. Be forewarned regarding the signs that tell you to use caution! If you stay within the bounds of the fences, no risk.

Great little hidden gem. Go visit and you won’t be disappointed

DEFINITELY a spot you MUST visit. Do whatever you need to and get up here! There is a easy drive up here or you can do what we did and hike!The view is fantastic and the wind gets really crazy! Its really cool to stand up here by the ledge and enjoy the view of the mountains on both sides, green everywhere and the city and the sea in the distance!

$3 flat rate for parking, and its super windy so bring a jacket. Beautiful Vista point where you can see for miles

This lookout has a beautiful view of the north shore or windward side of Oahu. You can see Kailua and Kaneohe in a sweeping vista. When we were three in November 2019, they were working on the ramp to the lookout parking lot so you have to turn around if youre coming from the north (driving south) and take the ramp off of the highway going north. You do have to OSU for parking which is what funds the lookout but its a nominal fee and totally worth it. Keep valuables out of sight as we saw car window glass on the pavement while wer were there.

Taken in February of 2020 - A must visit location on Oahu...best time is early...just before sunrise

Great history, decent view... was so talked up on the online forums, was expecting more...have to pay to park now.

Great views. Very windy. Puka hike is off limits.

Amazing hike with multiple trails some more dangerous than others a lot of bees there right now so dont wear slippers.

Lovely view of Kaneohe Bay from here but it is sometimes very windy! Do not venture onto the cordoned off Old Pali road as it is unstable! There was a landslide in that area in February 2019. Since then, access to the road serving this site has been very restricted while slope remediation work takes place above the Pali.

Went looking to find the Pali Puka hike, but could not find it. The lookout has a nice view, but theres not much there. Make sure if you are going to pay for parking that you know your license plate number because youll need to enter it into the kiosk - takes cash and card.

Good views, but quite windy

Amazing view. We had done a long hike a few hours before so this was a nice lookout to enjoy the view but not have to walk miles.

Beautiful views and I love the calm cool air up there. Being from the desert, this is a nice experience!

Amazing view, was there with family to see the beautiful view before Ritas closure. Highly recommended!

BEAUTIFUL! Very windy. It was raining when we went but we wrapped ourselves up in sweatshirts and were fine. We saw a whole family wrapped in giant beach towels = perfect! The views are epic. If its too foggy, you cant see the ocean or Chinamans Hat very well, but its worth the drive in any weather.

Beautiful lookout! One of my favorite spots in Hawaii. Definitely a must see!

Went while there was a whole ton of fog and it was still so pretty. We went when it was raining too so i dont recommend that since it was torturous. You could see the fog going up the mountains so that was really pretty

Definitely a worthwhile stop. You dont have to spend a lot of time here, just take in the views.

By far one of the best north shore lookouts in Oahu!

Foggy when we went there, a nice place to enjoy the nice view with your family. There were chickens walking around too. Wild chickens maybe!

A nice overlook. Paid parking -it takes cards, so no worries about cash. One side of the look out, soft of a walkway, is closed due to falling rocks. This is no hiking place, so suitable for children and elderly. The road to the look out is also nice and thats an added bonus

A wonderful experience. You are viewing one of the most scenic places in the world. Bring a jacket. Its always breezy.

Awesome look out. Bring a sweat shirt its breezy. $3 parking

So beautiful! A must see stop on your tour along the coast.

Nice place to stop by while touring the island. The place is both beautiful and dark with its history. Just be prepared to hold onto your hat because it is extremely windy

Great place to stop and get some great photos overlooking the windward side of Oahu. Be prepared for high winds at this lookout, and often some rain if cloud covered. Parking is $3.00 and you need your car registration number to pay for parking. Not a long stay. But beautiful views!!

Beautiful! Very green and dramatic landscape. Peaceful.

This is cool. So windy, but that adds to it. The view, even on a rainy, cloudy day, was amazing

The views are absolutely beautiful especially at sunset and you can get a really great look of the golf course and ocean but man it was windy when we went that day. Everyone’s taking awesome pictures and here I am with long hair everywhere

Amazing place to enjoy evening sunset

Awesome view

Awesome hike, not the best for beginners but its not difficult. It starts off pretty muddy so make sure you bring shoes you wont mind getting dirty. The look out is about 40-50 minutes depending on how fast you go, its right under a part you can walk over so be careful not to miss it!

Incredible view and story of Kamehameha and the battle that united the islands of Hawaii under one ruler for the first time

Very windy up here. But very nice look out. Didnt stay long due to high winds.

Amazing view. Deffinately worth stopping.

Beautiful waterfall. The hike up is fairly easy, but the weather can change very quickly... Be prepared. When it rains, it really creates a kyd river coming down the trail which can make it very slippery. The views from the top are awesome if its clear, regardless, the falls are beautiful, and certainly worth the hike up

Calculate with the risk that you cannot check it out because of the rain. We tried 3 times. 2 times we couldn’t even get out of the car because of the strong wind and rain. Last time we enjoyed the view for 30 minutes then had to run back to the car because of the weather.

One of the Best views Ive seen when I visited Hawaii. Got some amazing pics here. Bring a light weight jacket when the wind blows it is really cold, but worth being cold for if you dont have a jacket with you. Will see chickens and cats walking around here too.

Super stunning beautiful view!!

One of the best views of the island. Traffic is wild. Parking sucks. But the view is worth it. Its a small viewing site. You can probably soak it in for 2 minutes but take your time its literally an amazing view.

Beautiful and awesome. The view was breathtaking. If you have time, read the notes around the view, the history of that area was insightful.

An awesome view, though its really windy

Gorgeous View!!! Loved the drive . A must see!!!

Beautiful elevated lookout with multiple levels and amazing views! Parking is easy and only $3 flat rate, credit cards accepted! Hang onto your stuff because the wind is intense!

Stopped to see this scenic point. Its very windy because of where it is located, but so beautiful. The view is amazing. You can see a good portion of the island from that point. Its $3 to park, but otherwise it is free to visit.

A couple of friends and I came here just to see sights. It was amazing. Even though it was a slight overcast it still looked beautiful. Theres some animals hanging around like chicken and birds, also if you do decide to go. Bring some wet cat food. You wont be sorry

One of my favorite places to visit as a kid and now as an adult taking my family. The weather is unpredictable and often extremely windy so go prepared. The view is amazing. A must do for any trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.

This is a great quick stop to see some great views without having to walk far from the car. The parking lot does have a fee (+/- $3). The views are awesome but make sure it isn’t a super cloudy day. On the right of the lookout you can see the closed off old road which is pretty cool. When I go I usually spend about 15-20 min and then continue the journey somewhere else. It’s a must see though.

Not very windy but still beautiful

Cool breeze.. A good break from humidity

Great place to check out. Only cost a dollar for parking which the money goes to upkeep the area.Some amazing views and definitely worth the drive.

Wow what a view you can see forever the mountains are gorgeous and the water views are fantastic. Great place for a sunset

Has a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. Makes you feel at peace with nature and all. Would have to reccomend anyone who likes a view and all. Might come again just to be with nature

This look out is one of the tourist spot that you can visit in Hawaii.You can see the overlooking mountains and city also. It has no entrance fee so you can go there free and anytime.

A short trip off the highway for breath taking views of the valley below.The short drive off the highway is through a forested area; filled with chickens. Plenty of paid parking.One of the best vistas we’ve seen in Honolulu. Not much walking required. Limited picnic and eating areas.

Fantastic view of the east side. Theres a very good pictorial layout (with numbers) highlighting various points of interest and some smaller islands.

Cool spot. lots of history. usually windy but great view

Windy & absolutely beautiful! A must visit, lotsa history.

Great views and vety windy.

Insane views from the lookout as well as the hikes on either side of the freeway. They are not for the faint hearted but if youre up for an extreme adventure, highly recommend.

A great stop to see the city. Unfortunately, the trail was closed and we were looking forward to do the hike. Parking is expensive just for a quick stop. If you gonna stay longer may be worth it. P. S. ITS WINDY

I come here every time I visit Oahu!! This is one of my favorite places. Hold onto any loose items! The wind is insane- kids love it. The views are always breathtaking.

Such a cool lookout! It was very windy so watch out for your belongings. Parking is free after 5pm.

You pay a minimal fee for parking, but the lookout offers a panoramic view the northeast coast of Oahu. Plan on pictures of mountains, the ocean, and highway tunnels. Historic markers commemorate the site where hundreds of Oahu warriors were forced to their deaths off the cliff, during the Battle of Nuʻuanu (1795), by Kamehamehas forces.

The view is amazing. the wind is also insane so make sure you have nothing loose when going out but it’s worth it. also one of the major tourist spots with people coming at the bus load.

Its absolutely gorgeous looking over the valley. It gets really windy quickly so I recommend wearing a light jacket.

Nice lookout.
