The Nu'uanu Pali is a windward cliff section of the Ko'olau mountain on O'ahu. You can great panoramic shots of the coast of the island, even on days with a slight overcast. The views was great, and I loved seeing the greenery. A great spot to enjoy in the morning/evening; there's some great breeze up here, which feels great. +coast views

Slight incline up to the look out point.

Scenic spot, definitely stop by, but hang on to your clothes because it be windy as hell up there. The most amusing part is watching people attempting to "fall" into the wind and having to maintain their balance in the process. The scariest part is trying to take pictures and realizing your phone could easily fly out of your hands. But yeah, go. It was fun. THE PARKING. Metered parking. A little ridiculous but it is what it is. COMING BACK? Sure. Maybe my phone will fly away next time.

Absolutely phenomenal stop while driving across the island! A bit of a sudden turn and a bit of a spooky winding road back to the clean and large parking lot. I paid the flat rate for parking via the park mobile app ($7.50 for 8 hours). We spent about 15 minutes taking in the sights and breathing in the crisp air. Highly recommend as a quick stop!

BEAUTIFUL LOOKOUT. We went on a Sunday around 10am and it wasn't too crowded at all. We were fortunate enough to be able to get free parking (military & locals). There's some trails along the way up and some people even went up this random mud path beside the parking area.. idk if it's a good trail or not but a lot of people were going for it. Very steep & very muddy so keep that in mind if hiking is something you're interested in. Even with the clouds you were still able to see so much and it's honestly just breathtaking. The ridges in the mountain, the crystal blue waters, it truly doesn't get much better than that. Not a far drive from Waikiki. Took us about 20 mins and was well worth the drive. Can't wait till our family visits so we can take them back there.

Even on a cloudy windy day this view was still absolutely beautiful. There's a parking lot right at the entrance but not very much space available. We went on a weekday and it was not crowded at all. Easily accessible! No one to speak to for service or questions and a pretty much come and go area. It was clean and very peaceful!

Views!

Beautiful Lookout spot! Not sure if there is any hiking here but, its a good place to get som Great views of the island! I dont think they should charge 7.5$ to park there though. Just saying...

Jacquelyn C.

This place was absolutely gorgeous, though it can be out of the way for most tourists. It's also really windy, but definitely worth for the views.

Beautiful place to visit with respect and admiration. The view is amazing and you can read and learn about the history. The wind blows here and it can be chilly so be prepared.

Finally, was able to visit this historical landmark from 1795! T'was quite fun & above all it is an educational park to visit. Unlike other parks, do not expect too much to do in here. But rest assured that your eyes will feast on a panoramic view from the lookout. And also, it will help you give a better understanding of the Hawaiian history which is a very interesting part for me. The Hawaiian island has so much to learn & I believed that this spot is one of the great way to educate & understand it yourself. Do not escape this place without reading the signs & writings they put within the area. Also, the wind is usually strong so you gotta be careful & hold on to the dearest railings. LoL. Residents can park the car without charging any cost but tourist needs to based on the certain amount. There is also a sign to not leave valuable items in the car, so you better follow that to avoid any dilemma ahead. Will surely recommend any one of you to visit this historical landmark & for sure you won't regret it. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yeeps!

A must add to your itinerary great view from the top historic can get very windy at times

Worth the effort to find! After numerous trips to Oahu and drives to this side of the island, finally took the right road through the mountains to stop here. Awesome view and ample parking - free for Kamaainas We got turned around, exiting the attraction, pay attention to the roads to exit, if you want to go towards Honolulu.

A must go to spot if you're trying to see the tourist spots. Plenty of parking available but a flat fee of $7. The view is amazing. It gets windy but feels so good from all the sun I soaked up the day before. For those new to the island, read the informational signage posted before the look-out it will give you a better perspective of why the natives and their families are big on maintaining their island they way it is. This will be a spot I'd recommend friends and family who haven't been so they can appreciate the beauty the island has.

My wife and I made a quick stop here just to enjoy the breathtaking view we had heard this is offered at the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout within the park. There isn't a whole lot to do here other than take in the beautiful panoramic view of the Windward Coast of the island. I definitely think this is a must-stop if you're taking the 61 and heading from Waikiki toward Windward side of Oahu. There's plenty of parking, the area isn't too crowded, and it's a great photo-op that showcases a lot of Oahu's natural beauty and greenery. It can be a little windy and cold, but it's well worth stopping here!

Really a beautiful spot!

Kamehameha Statue

Have you played Animal Crossing: New Horizons?…read more Stay with me here. Because while this wasn't the first place I'd ever seen the iconic statue of King Kamehameha I (also known as Kamehameha the Great), my brain absolutely went, "Oh hey, my island museum decor!" the second I saw it in real life. Yes, I'm that person who unknowingly recreated a culturally significant landmark next to Blathers. I hadn't plan to see this statue while I was on Oahu but shoutout to my waifu Sheryl M. for the spontaneous detour. She hadn't seen it in person either, so it turned into one of those unexpectedly wholesome "Wait, this is actually kind of special" moments. Bonus: I also got introduced to a Hawaiian plover (tiny, adorable, and clearly the main character of the day). The statue stands proudly in front of Aliʻiōlani Hale, and here's where things get interesting: - The statue you see there is actually a replica. - "There are four Kamehameha Statues: One on Oahu, two on the Big Island - in HiIo & North Kohala, and another one in Washington DC at the US Capitol." - As per Bruddah Fran C. (go add him)! - The original statue had a whole dramatic backstory: It was cast in Europe, lost in a shipwreck, then later recovered (yes, ocean salvage arc), and eventually placed elsewhere in Hawaii. - The statue wasn't designed to accurately reflect Kamehameha's true appearance. It was westernized, which... yeah. A little side-eye moment. Even with that context, there's something undeniably powerful about seeing it in person. The stance, the gesture, the presence... It hits differently when you're standing right there. Would I recommend stopping by? Honestly, yes. It's quick, it's meaningful, and it's one of those spots that sneaks up on you. Embrace life and spontaneity.

The style of this unusual lighthouse is Gothic Revival with a strong Art Deco influence. This iconic structure once housed the harbor navigation master, responsible for directing ships into and out of the Harbor. A massive Howard clock tells accurate time on the lighthouse. I took an early morning walk around the lighthouse with my daughter. The structure appears to be undergoing some rehab as the entrance was boarded up. A large plaque tells the building's history with several interesting photos. In the past, visitors could ascend to a 10th floor observation deck and view the harbor. Today, the building is closed to visitors, but is a central focal point of the Marketplace. The Marketplace houses restaurants and shops which were not open during my visit. The lighthouse was a fun discovery for me, but would have been more impactful if the observation deck was still open to visitors. We found parking about two blacks away in a metered lot. There is no charge to walk around the base of the tower.

You can find the tower easily right besides some shops and currently Old Spaghetti Factory and even Aloha Tower Luau "Ka Moana Luau" which offers a buffet dinner provided by Chart House along with a beautiful undisturbed view of the waterfront and evening sunset.

We had wandered over after visiting the statue of King Kamehameha I across the street, so at least the vibe was still immaculate. Even from the outside, the palace is stunning, grand, elegant, and carrying that quiet weight of history that makes you instinctively lower your voice a little. Shoutout to Nadine C. for dropping the knowledge that this is the only royal palace in the United States. Let that sink in. Not a mansion. Not a "former estate." A palace palace. A little context moment because it makes standing there hit different: This was the royal residence of Hawaiian monarchs starting with Kamehameha III in 1845, and later home to Queen Liliʻuokalani, who was ultimately overthrown and even imprisoned here in 1893. It's also the second palace built on this site, which somehow makes it feel even more layered, like history stacked on history. Today, it's a designated National Historic Landmark and honestly? I'm a little mad at myself for not planning better because I know the inside tour is going to be incredible. Guess I'll just have to come back and do it properly. Next time, we check the website and respect the hours. Lesson learned.

Bathrooms are easy to access and there are strategically placed hand sanitizer stands throughout the building if that's your thing. There is street parking directly in front of the building, and a parking garage directly across the street for convenience, too! Little note, the parking garage only accepts cash. There is an ATM on the bottom floor of the building. There is also a little grab and go snack shop on the bottom floor. It looked well to stocked and I should have taken a few photos; my bad!

It's been a number of years since we've traveled to Philadelphia, PA to visit Independence National…read moreHistoric Park which features Independence Hall, the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and nearby, is the iconic Liberty Bell. The Liberty Bell is a symbol of of the American Revolution and of the liberties gained as well as a reminder of liberties denied. To visit or view this symbol, visitors must pass through security gates and wait in line as National Park Rangers will allow small groups in at a time. What does this have to do with Hawa'i? While roaming around our State Capitol and its environs, I "discovered" two Liberty Bells. Did you even know that we had ONE? Apparently, in 1950, every State and Territory of the United States received a replica (gift) through a program developed by the United States Department of Treasury who with several private companies had contracted 55 full-sized replicas to be cast. This Liberty Bell is located on the front lawn (Beretania Street) of our State Capitol. It is an EXACT replica of the one in Philadelphia. The interesting story about this replica bell is that it was a gift from U.S. President Harry S. Truman and the U.S. Congress to the then, Territory of Hawai'i in 1950. It was presented on July 4th, 1950. The iconic gift symbolizes freedom and democracy. However, it's ironic why Hawai'i received a Liberty Bell because of the overthrow of its sovereign nation which was backed by economic and political pressures from the United States. You can actually get up close to this replica to read its inscription: "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof" LEV XXV. v.X . The inscription is a Biblical reference from the Book of Leviticus (25:10). A recent news story ran about this landmark at http://ksnt.com/2015/11/21/lost-piece-of-liberty-bell-replica-recovered-on-hawaii-beach/. It was unfortunate that an act of vandalism marred this symbol of Freedom and I hope that this plaque will soon be replaced. To me, even though this is a replica, The Liberty Bell still symbolizes the Freedoms that we gained as American Citizens. "Let Freedom Ring"!

Downtown Honolulu has so many Hawaiian landmark or historical gems. Many pass by without taking…read morethe time to see what may behind stone walls or fences. We have been amazed by past and recent "finds". Of course, when we roam about our neighborhood, we are respectful to the properties that we enter. That being said, over the years that we have come to the Kawaihao Church Annual Bazaars, we'd pass through its entrance gate and this masoleum without stopping to recognize its historical significance. The masoleum is and its surrounding garden is well-maintained. Democratic Process: THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AND LEGISLATURE'S CHOICE. High Chief William Lunalilo was born with the Kamehameha lineage and was rightful heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai'i succeeding King Kamehameha V. But, because King Kamehameha V had passed away in December 1872 without naming a successor and even though Lunalilo could've claimed his birthright to be King, Lunalilo chose to hold a special election. His challenger in this democratic process was High Chief David Kalākaua who was not of the bloodline. In 1873, William Lunalilo was elected by the people of Hawai'i and was crowned King. He was the first King of Hawai'i to have been unanimously voted in to reign by both the people and Legislature. Unfortunately, King Lunalilo's reign was cut short due to his early death at age 39. He reigned for only a little more than a year and did not name his successor. But, he changed the succession way of Hawai'i's Monarchs... they would be CHOSEN through democratic process. His last wishes was to buried on the grounds of Kawaihao Church where he felt closest to the common people who elected him to the throne. Apparently, he wanted to return the love to the people and be amongst them at Kawaiaha'o Church. All other Royals were interned at the Royal Masoleum at Nuuanu. The next time you're in the area, stop by to take in a bit of Hawaiian history along with the beauty of our island.

A man who definitely represented his people and it is very sad that his life and reign was cut short. How history could have changed if he had lived longer... William Charles Lunalilo was the sixth monarch and very popular during his reign. King Kamehameha V had preceded Lunalilo and had died without naming a successor. Lunalilo was appointed by a vote of the people over his opponent, David Kalakaua. He took the throne in January 1873 and his inauguration was held at Kawaiaha'o Church. He only ruled a little over one year when he passed away on 3 Feb. 1874 at 39 years old. His last wish was to be laid to rest near his people, and this is why his tomb stands on the grounds of Kawaiaha'o Church and not at the Royal Mausoleum. More history: - Lunalilo is the grandson of Kamehameha I's half-brother and is related to Kinau (one of Kamehameha's daughters) through his mother. His father Kanaina was a lower chief. - Once he had been engaged to Victoria Kamamalu, but the match was opposed by Kamehameha IV, so Lunalilo remained a bachelor. It is said that he died of tuberculosis and alcoholism. A twist on his resting place (rumor or truth?): slighted by the Kamehameha family over the final resting place of his mother's remains, Lunalilo insisted that he be buried in a tomb separate from the Royal Mausoleum; his resting place still stands inside the grounds of Kawaiaha`o Church. He left his property to create the Lunalilo Home, a place for the poor, elderly, and ailing Hawaiian people. - He amended the Constitution of 1864 and abolished property requirements for voting. - Lunalili unsuccessfully pursued a reciprocity treaty with the United States and withdrew a proposal to lease out Pearl Harbor when faced with public opposition. - Kamehameha IV sponsored a contest in 1860 for new national anthem. He wanted the lyrics to match the tune of "God Save the King." Lunalilo wrote the winning entry and was awarded 10 dollars. His song became the kingdom's new anthem. I found this and its pretty good info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunalilo

There are 2 municipal parking lots on the east side of Punchbowl Street. $2.00 per hour. There are street metered parking spaces so you need to bring your change; $.25 will do it @ $2.00 per hour. These parking meters are old. It does not accept credit cards. 2- Secured entrance to building now only on the south side of the building.

Picture identification is required 3- Sundry Store on the ground floor is in sad shape and condition. Their A/C is out. Their coffee maker is broken and their refrigeration system is running warm.... 5- Cafeteria on the 5th floor has lost its luster. I used to love to eat there.

There is a security checkpoint you must pass through as you enter the building. It was efficient and I was on my may. The building was well maintained, very clean and a lot of hustle and was bustle going on. I had some notary business to take care of which is what brought me to this building. The big boys in the building are are the U.S. District Court, U.S. Coast Guard, SSA, IRS, and Honolulu Passport Agency. There's a cafeteria on the fifth floor (M-F 6:15 a.m. to 2 p.m.), snack shop in the courtyard on the first floor (M-F 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), and vending machines throughout. There's also a credit union/ATM on the first floor, Rainbow Schools Childcare Center for the public and federal employees located on the first floor. The fitness center and health unit are only for federal employees.
