From Lanai lookout, you're able to launch your drone and see all of the beauty that the east side of Oahu has to offer. It's just incredible to capture the highway snaking between the green mountainside and crashing coastal waves.
(before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This image is of Kalaniana'ole Highway and the coastline, and I took off my drone from Lanai Lookout. It's the first lookout after passing Hanauma Bay. Drive east on Kalaniana'ole Highway (Highway 72) and then Lanai Lookout will be on your right.
From the parking lot of Lanai Lookout, I launched my drone directly above so I could get a north-facing view of the highway.
