A five-mile drive from downtown Honolulu, Nu‘uanu Pali Lookout offers stunning views of the Ko‘olau cliffs and Windward Coast.

After admiring the views, continue through the Pali Tunnels to Windward O‘ahu and choose between visiting the beach town of Kailua or O‘ahu's North Shore. The Pali Lookout is also a site of historical significance, as it was the site of King Kamehameha I's victory in the Battle of Nu‘uanu.
