About the Business
Makapuʻu Lookout is a popular landmark and tourist attraction located on Kalanianaʻole Highway in Waimanalo, Hawaii, United States. The lookout offers breathtaking views of O‘ahu’s southeastern coastline, including Koko Head and Koko Crater, as well as the historic Makapu‘u Lighthouse. On a clear day, visitors can even see Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. The offshore islets serve as wildlife sanctuaries for Hawaiian seabirds, making it a great spot for birdwatching. The area is also known for whale watching during the migration season from November to May.
The trail to Makapu‘u Point is exposed and can be hot and windy, so it is recommended to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. The hike takes about 2 hours round trip and offers stunning panoramic views from the summit. The park and trailhead are easily accessible from the Kalanianaole Highway, making it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the southeastern coast of O‘ahu. Make sure to check local surf and weather reports before your visit for the best experience.
Reviews
"Beautiful views from this outlook with a car park close by. Feels quite safe so good for children to look out into the sea and down the coast"
"Along with the Makapuu Lighhouse, this scenic outlook is second to none. It is well worth your time to stop in order to take in this absolutely stunning "bird's eye" view landscape."
"Extremely beautiful lookout, you can snap many different sets of scenery into the nice ocean. The ocean is nice and calm, although it is pretty windy."
"Gorgeous! Windy so watch out for your hats if wearing one. I went twice during a day that wasn't that sunny and the next day it was really nice out and WOW the beauty of all the shades of aqua are incredible. Beyond beautiful scenery. There's a lighthouse here, the hike is paved so strollers can be used here. It's a fairly easy hike. Blow horn is up the road from here and that's another place to stop."
"Amazing viewpoint with plenty of parking and not many visitors. Very quiet, decently shielded from light pollution. Nice view of the bay with the city lights in the background. See the stars over the mountain range."
