Round Top Drive, also known as Tantalus Drive, is a winding road ascending Mount Tantalus, providing breathtaking vistas of Honolulu and the surrounding areas. The drive itself is an experience, with lush vegetation and occasional glimpses of the city below. Numerous lookout points offer opportunities for photography and enjoying the scenery. Pu'u Ualaka'a State Wayside Park, located along the route, is a popular stop for picnics and further views. While the drive is generally considered safe, visitors should exercise caution due to narrow roads, potential wildlife, and other road users like cyclists and pedestrians.
This attraction is best suited for those who enjoy scenic drives, photography, and panoramic views. It's also a good option for couples, families, and solo travelers seeking a peaceful escape from the city.
The dry season (April to October) offers the best weather conditions.
