The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is the site of a 1795 battle between King Kamehameha and the forces of Oahu. In his bid to unite the Hawaiian Islands Kamehameha used modern technology and the assistance of foreign advisers to crush this final stronghold and bring a short lived unified kingdom to the islands. The Pali Lookout was the site of the last stand of Oahu's forces, many of whom were pushed to their death from the towering cliff that gives this area it's scenic beauty. Visitors today will enjoy breathtaking views of windward Oahu from this point. Don't be careless though. Winds are known to whip through this area in excess of fifty miles per hour, so don't end up reliving the tumble so many a Hawaiian warrior did.

Great lookout point, beautiful view. Several hikes lead to here including Old Pali road.
Easy to get to lookout with a beautiful view. Great for the entire family from the toddlers to the grand parents.
An amazing lookout! It is so beautiful and windy up here! Just pay for parking and you could literally spend all day here! We wanted to but had to use a restroom after an hour.. but a must checkout! Amazing after a hike!
Beautiful views and photos to be taken. A very historical place to visit. Parking is not the best, and you have to pay for it. No hiking involved.
