Aloha Tower

The Aloha Tower is a lighthouse that was built in 1926. At that time, it was Hawaii's tallest structure. Considered as one of Oahu's landmark, it functions as a control center for Honolulu harbor as well as entry point for cruise ships and container vessels. The observation deck, which is located on the tenth floor, is accessible via a small elevator. From there, you can see the panoramic views of Diamond Head, Honolulu, to name a few.

In 1994, the Aloha Tower Marketplace was opened to the public. It houses around 60 retail stores, and ten of the finest restaurants in town. It is the only waterfront shopping center in Honolulu.

The observation deck is open to public between 9:30am- 5pm. Admission is free, which is the best part!
