One of the easiest overlooks to find on the island of Oahu is the Nu’uanu Pali Lookout located on Highway 61.  This short paved lookout is easily accessible for all fitness levels and can even be accessed with strollers or wheelchairs.  

The lookout is a very short walk from the parking area. In fact, you can see the lookout from the trailhead/parking area.

Pali Lookout is known for being very windy, so hold on to your hats when you get to the lookout areas.

This is not a difficult long hike and is a definite must-see on your visit to Oahu.  You have amazing views of the island without the effort of climbing one of the other more typical hiking trails.

Things to know:

• Pay to park at the kiosk when you first pull into the parking area.

• There are no restrooms available at the trailhead
• The road is not steep or challenging like some lookout drives.

Find Nu’uanu Pali Lookout:

From Waikiki, take route 61 (the Pali Highway) and follow signs for the lookout.
