- GRZChicago, IL13,131 contributionsWe have missed this place during our first trip 3 years ago, and I did not realize at the time how cool of a view this spot provides, and also how easy it is to get here.
It's normal, perfectly paved road through a residential area leading all the way to the top - some scenic views along it already. At the top there is a small parking lot - I read everywhere that it's THE place for the sunset, but also that meant struggling with the parking so we visited it during early afternoon hours and we parked without any issues.
There is some history here about the original Macadamia nuts grown on Hawaii (who would have thought Oahu was the first one in Hawaii) that were brought from Australia, I believe, but also some stuff to read about the craters you can see in the area - pretty cool reads, so not just pretty vistas :)Written 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I have visited numerous times to view the sunrise and sunset on Waikiki. The view is panoramic from diamond head to Pearl harbour , there is a platform , can get crowded at sunset , I went an hour earlier to get the best spot for pictures , there are plenty of space to walk aroundWritten 28 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- james doe48 contributionsthis is a kept secret ... go to the top of saint louis heights and enter the park. when the trade winds weaken and it gets hot in the diamond head, kaimuki and kahala areas a thousand feet below, it's cool up here... most people think of norfolk pines as house plants, they grow into majestic trees, towering over a hundred feet tall, with trunks 2 feet or greaer in diameter.... there's also iron wood pines that are enormous.... the trail to the summit of teh koolau rage starts here and manoa valley and palolo valley can be seen very well far below....Written 13 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary4,380 contributionsWe drove to Koko Head Neighborhood Park from Waikiki Beach. This park was just awesome. It was pretty big with several sport facilities and the background was fantastic.
It is a must to see!Written 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
