Scenic Spots to Find on Oahu

🌄 Best Scenic Spots on Oahu

As the most visited of the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu offers an endless variety of scenic viewpoints, activities, tours, and natural wonders. From the moment you arrive until the time you depart, the island delivers nonstop beauty—from rugged coastlines and lush valleys to volcanic craters and world-famous beaches. Lookout points are scattered across the island, each offering a unique perspective of Hawaii’s breathtaking landscapes. While there are far too many to see in one trip, here are some of the most spectacular scenic spots on Oahu.

🌋 Koko Head Crater

Although reaching the summit requires effort, the reward is more than worth it. Climb the former military railway ties to the top of this volcanic crater and enjoy sweeping views of Hanauma Bay, Oahu’s South Shore, and the vast Pacific Ocean. On especially clear days, you may even spot neighboring islands on the horizon.

🕊️ Kaʻena Point

Accessible only on foot, Kaʻena Point is one of Oahu’s most remote and peaceful destinations. Located on the island’s far western end, this protected bird sanctuary offers dramatic coastal scenery, crashing waves, and an untouched landscape that feels worlds away from the city.

🏖️ Waimanalo Beach

Consistently named one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii, Waimanalo features soft white sand backed by ironwood trees and framed by towering emerald mountains. The turquoise water and views of nearby Rabbit Island create a postcard-perfect setting for relaxing or photography.

🌿 Manoa Falls

Nestled deep within the lush Manoa Valley, this easily accessible waterfall is one of Oahu’s most popular natural attractions. The short hike winds through a tropical rainforest filled with native plants and birds, ending at a towering waterfall surrounded by greenery—a favorite spot for pictures and peaceful moments.
