Tantalus Lookout
About
Tantalus Lookout - Puu Ualakaa State Park serves Oahu from Nutridge St in Honolulu, HI 96822, in the hills above the city. Visitors rate it 4.8 out of 5 across 3596 reviews, one of the highest review totals recorded for a viewpoint on the island. The state wayside sits on the Tantalus drive, and the route up from Waikiki and Honolulu climbs through the ridges behind the city.
From the main resort areas, the lookout is reached by road from Honolulu, with Waikiki close by and Pearl Harbor a short drive west. The North Shore communities of Haleiwa and the windward towns of Kailua, Lanikai and Waimanalo lie on the far side of the island. The park's own page at dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/oahu/puu-ualakaa-state-wayside/ carries the practical information.
As an attraction, the lookout is known for its elevated position above Honolulu, with the city and the southern coast spread out below.
Oahu's climate stays warm through the year, and the ridge road sits high enough to catch the trade winds. Lei garlands of flowers or shells mark greetings, birthdays and graduations across the islands. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in Hawaiian home cooking and on lunch plates.
