Perched high above Oahu, the Pali Lookout holds deep historical importance.

The intense battle resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives, with many warriors driven over the lookout’s steep cliffs.

About Honolulu

Honolulu is Hawaii's capital on the south shore of Oahu, with Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head crater, a royal palace and the Pearl Harbor memorial nearby.

Honolulu spreads along Oahu's south coast between the mountains and the sea. Waikiki Beach is the famous curve of sand, with surf lessons and outrigger canoes, and the green Diamond Head crater at its eastern end is a short hike to a summit with ocean views. In downtown Honolulu, ʻIolani Palace was the home of Hawaii's monarchs and is the only royal palace on American soil, and a gilded King Kamehameha statue stands across the road.
