Pu'u 'Ualaka'a State Park (Tantalus Lookout)
Pu'u 'Ualaka'a State Park is the primary scenic overlook on the Tantalus–Round Top Drive loop above Honolulu, accessible via Round Top Drive off Makiki Street. The paved viewpoint atop a 1,048-foot cinder cone offers a sweeping 180-degree panorama of southern O'ahu: Honolulu's skyline, Waikiki, Diamond Head, Manoa Valley, and Pearl Harbor on clear days. The drive itself — a forested, narrow, and continuously curving 7-mile loop — was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 as the first road on O'ahu to receive that designation. Open daily; no entry fee. Best visited near sunset when Honolulu's south shore is fully lit.
Ten minutes from Waikiki and utterly unlike it — the Tantalus–Round Top loop is Oahu's best urban motorcycle road, and Pu'u 'Ualaka'a's overlook delivers a city-and-ocean panorama that turns a routine warm-up ride into a genuine destination.
