The Pali Lookout is famous for its powerful, howling winds. Standing here, you'll feel the wind press against you, hear it whistle through the mountains, and see stunning views of Oahu's Windward Coast. Historically, this site marks the 1795 Battle of Nuuanu, where King Kamehameha I secured victory and unified the island. The word 'Pali' means 'cliff' in Hawaiian, referencing the steep cliffs warriors were driven over during the battle.
