    Officially designated State Route 61, this scenic highway runs from Kailua to Honolulu.It is the main highway connecting downtown Honolulu, Hawaii with windward O‘ahu. From downtown, it traverses up Nu‘uanu Valley and the residential neighborhood of Nu‘uanu, passes through the Nu‘uanu Pali Tunnels, and descends to the major windward communities of Kāne‘ohe (reached by Kamehameha Highway, State Route 83) and Kailua.

    The current Pali Highway is actually the third roadway to be built here. The original Pali "highway" went along much of the same route and portions of the old road still exist, although closed to vehicular traffic. When the current Pali Highway and its tunnels opened, the original roadway was closed and is now used by hikers. The Old Pali Highway, as it is now called, is noted in the popular culture of Hawai‘i for being a place with strong spiritual connections. Many "ghost stories" have settings along this old highway. The road is covered with nature tree tunnels and has many creeks flowing along side.

  • Address: Pali Highway
  • Phone: Phone: (808) 587-2160
  • Directions: From waikiki: Take H1 west bound. Get off at the Pali Highway exit. Turn right onto Old Pali Raod. Then turn right onto Nuuanu Pali Road. This is the beginning of the stroll.

    The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is a perennial favorite stop among visitors to Oahu. The panoramic views of the Windward side of the island from this expansive cliff will blow you away. Nuʻuanu Pali is a section of the windward cliff (pali in Hawaiian) of the Koʻolau mountain located at the head of Nuʻuanu Valley on the island of Oʻahu. Today, it offers one of the best panoramic views of the windward (northeast) coast of Oʻahu. A main highway (Hawaii State Highway 61) connecting Kailua/Kāneʻohe with downtown Honolulu runs through tunnels bored into the cliffsides.

    The Nuʻuanu Pali State Wayside is a lookout above the tunnels where visitors are treated to a panoramic view of the Oʻahu's windward side with sweeping views of Kāneʻohe, Kāneʻohe Bay, and Kailua. It is also well-known for strong Trade winds that blow through the pass, forming a sort of natural wind tunnel. It was here in 1795 that King Kamehameha and his warriors defeated the O'ahu armies by sending them over these steep, forested cliffs and claiming his victory and uniting the Hawaiian Islands. The breathtaking sight and the gruesome history of the battle fought here is enough to cause a chill to run up your spine.

    From this vantage point you can see Kaneohe Bay, Chinaman's Hat, and Hawaii Pacific's Windward Campus.

  • They have 'the worlds largest hedge maze' there! Costs $us5 to get in - it was kinda fun wandering around inside looking for the 6 boxes you had to find. Had some Dole Whip afterwards at the kiosk - YUCK! Hated it!

  • If you are traveling with children there is a Hawaiin Water Park with water slides and much more.
    Germaine's Luau offers a combination package that includes a day at the water park and then the luau that follows. It is a great deal. Check it out.
