    You can see whole town of Honolulu and diamond head from this Pu’u Ualaka’s State Park. It’s amazing.

    From here a good view opens up, Honolulu at a glance. But be careful, a local man warned that they could open the car, breaking the windows and steal all the contents. This place is free and there is parking.

    Beautiful overlook of urban Honolulu and Mānoa Valley. Rainbows are common over Mānoa Valley. UofH is visible also at opening of valley. Informative signage interprets what you are viewing. Watch for a mongoose viewing, I see one almost every time. Lock your vehicle.

    Absolutely breathtaking lookout. Please use caution while driving up and down as road is very narrow. Respect the local residents!

    Beautiful sights and awesome atmosphere especially if your touring the island or going out on a date. Parking is limited at the lookout itself, with 1 handicap stall and roughly 7ish regular stalls HOWEVER there is an option to park at the open lot only a few minutes before the lookout.

    Beautiful scenic site, but a very slow winding road up to top.

    Definitely a great place for sightseeing, you get so much view of the city. I am excited we made it up there for some family pictures.

    Staggeringly good. You've got easy beautiful trails, wonderful trees and birds, minimal company. Connection to overlooks of downtown.

    Beautiful views of Honolulu and Mānoa Valley. Sat near where Elvis sat in Blue Hawaii. Also, the Brady bunch came here too.

  • 5/5 PaKa �. 2 years ago on Google
    On of the best sunset locations in the state sits midway up the great mauka, it is nestled in the serenity of the pristine forest. To gain access to parking for the sunset make sure to arrive an hour before sunset aka "The Golden Hour" to scenic photographers
