The 1961 film “Blue Hawaii,” starring Elvis Presley, was shot on the islands of Oahu and Kauai. Early in the film, Malie, played by Joan Blackman, is seen getting pulled over at this intersection near Aloa Moana Park in Honolulu. The gate on the left side of the street, seen in the film, still stands.

LOCATION: Ala Moana Park Dr / Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96814
Here is the area where Malie pulls over and speaks with the police officer, just slightly past the previous location.

After Malie picks up Chad, played by Elvis Presley, they are seen driving past the Diamond Head Lighthouse. The lighthouse is still there, but the trees have grown much taller since then, so only the very top is visible from the area seen in the film.

LOCATION: Diamond Head Lighthouse, 3399 Diamond Head Rd, Honolulu, HI 96815
Here is a closer view of the lighthouse.

Chad’s shack doesn’t actually exist, but the area where is was filmed is Hanauma Bay, a famous tourist spot in Honolulu. Many of the landscapes in the background can still be matched up. Chad and Malie are seen standing in front of this area. Chad later performs a song here too. As mentioned, Hanauma Bay is a very popular spot, so much so that visitation for tourists requires advanced reservations. Local residents are able to visit without reservations.

LOCATION: Hanauma Bay, 100 Hanauma Bay Rd, Honolulu, HI 96825
Here is another area seen while Chad performs a song.

Chad and Malie have a picnic at Tantalus Lookout in Puu Ualakaa State Park. This mountain range is seen behind them when they arrive.

LOCATION: Tantalus Lookout, Puu Ualakaa State Park, Nutridge St, Honolulu, HI 96822
Tantalus Lookout is another famous tourist spot, overlooking Honolulu.

Here is the area where they sit and have their picnic.
