Get a new perspective on Oʻahu at these scenic lookouts—where ocean vistas, mountain views, and photo-worthy panoramas await.
These drive-up or short-walk stops are perfect for sunrise, sunset, or just a quiet moment to soak in the island’s dramatic landscapes.
High above the cliffs of the Koʻolau mountain range, the Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout offers one of Oʻahu’s most iconic views. Just minutes from downtown Honolulu, this historic site reveals a sweeping panorama of Kāneʻohe, Kailua, and the lush valleys of Oʻahu’s Windward side.
Nestled along Kalanianaʻole Highway between Hanauma Bay and Makapuʻu, Lānaʻi Lookout is a short but unforgettable stop known for its rugged lava rock cliffs and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. It's one of those places that doesn’t require much time but offers incredible visual rewards. On clear days, the view stretches to neighbor islands like Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, and even Maui.
