Nu'uanu Pali Winds -The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout is both a historic landmark and incredibly scenic spot for panoramic views.Perched over a thousand feet above thecoastline amid mountain peaks shrouded by clouds, the stone terrace overlooks the areas of Kaneohe and Kailua, Mokolii.
The Pali Lookout is a site of deep historical significance. Named “Pali” meaning "cliff" in Hawaiian, the Pali Lookout is the site of the Battle of Nu'uanu, where in 1795 King Kamehameha I, won the struggle that finally united Oahu under his rule. This fierce battle claimed hundreds of soldiers’ lives, many of which were forced off of the Pali’s sheer cliffs.
The Pali Lookout is also known for its strong and howling winds. When the conditions are just right it is possible to literally lean against the wind! This location is among best scenic points to feel the wind push up against you, hear the breeze whistle through the mountains and see the breathtaking views of the lush Windward Coast.
Notes:Winds so strong and constant you can lean against them: Fresh wind from the valley below & marine gales from the coast, freesia, ylang ylang, surinam cherry, fir needle, cedar.
