10 reviews for Pali Highway
In the 1960's and 70's when I was a little keiki the Pali was more of a twisty old road into the clouds where rainbows are born.
Now it's wider, faster and much more highway like but it's still the best route into the clouds for a view of heaven. Pray for traffic so you can take your time enjoying the surroundings. Don't miss the exit for the Nu'uanu Pali lookout and wind tunnel. Pictures posted with this listing. State park reviewed here: http://www.yelp.com/bi...
Tantalus is my favorite "just because I can" drives on O'hau followed closely by the Pali Highway I just wish I was there now instead of LA.

Most beautiful place I have witnessed with my own eyes.
Haha, and it's free.
You must go here and have a look for yourself. It's breathtaking and will leave you speechless.
But keep in mind, pick a day where the weather is extra kind. Don't go when it's too windy, as it might be even stronger on the Pali highway. :(
I was lucky enough to go on a day where the weather was perfect. Don't forget to take your camera! Bring back some pictures to brag to your friends with.

This is just a bit ridiculous. I can't believe I'm going to review a highway. What's next? Kamehameha, Kalanianaole, Kahekili?
Yeah, I guess the Windward side of the Pali is beautiful, but from a jaded local's perspective, it really is just the road from Kailua to town. Rush hour blows, and the lights aren't timed so you catch every single red in Nu'uanu. Watch out for massive potholes, speed traps and little old granny pedestrians.

Quite possibly the most beautiful highway on Earth...although Highway One along the California coast is a strong contender.
The only drawback from the sweeping views, gorgeous lush valleys, and fabulously big green mountains on this lovely stretch of road is the fact that it's often considered a roller coaster ride by drunks and lushes alike.
Watch out during holidays and celebration weekends. There are many times I've had to swerve to get out of the way of a speeding, veering car coming back from a football party.

I have never felt so small. The view is AMAZING from the Pali. If you have to get stuck in traffic, this is the place be stuck!

Definitely need to stop by here if you get a chance. If you don't have time to, then make time. We got there at the butt crack of dawn, well before anybody else. The chickens were fun to watch, as they fought over our goldfish crackers. There were a lot of them too, coming out of everywhere, once they saw we had food. The views from the look out is amazing. It crazy to think that one of Hawaii's bloodiest battles happened here. If you were on the loosing end, you would be screwed. The cultural significance of this area is very important, so respect the land if you go.

there is a lookout spot where to see the Pali Highway. This is a very old road that has since turned into a actual highway, but was previously used by islanders to make the trek over the ridge from one side of the island to the other.
It can often be cold and a bit gloomy up here, so if you decide to stop by, dress warmly.
The views are breathtaking.
There are also several other links denoting some of the historical significance:

Great views!
But two out of the three times I visited, it was completely cloudy and I couldn't see a thing.

I was sitting here trying to think of how and why someone would review a highway!
Well, those words "LUCKY YOU LIVE HAWAII" comes to mind...
I am so lucky to have the honor to drive on such a beautiful highway everyday I go to work. Sure, it is a highway, but it has some of the best scenery. Green towering mountains, lush (natural) landscaping, rainbows and misty clouds, historic tunnels that lead you toward the vast Windward side where you can get a view of the beautiful beaches, and best of all, the many waterfalls after rain shower.
Well, does that not deserve 5 Stars!!!

okay. i just want to rain on your parade. i mean, yes the view is phenomenal, but the road itself is a DISASTER!! how many times must you replace the transmission on your car just to visit this highway? at least twice a year.
and really, do the hike that goes under the pali to the waterfall and congratulate yourself.
