    Had a great visit here - very easy to get to on the Trolley bus from central Waikiki and a very nice drive out. The trolley takes you right inside the crater to drop off, and it’s a short walk to the gate, and shop....More

    Nice walk

    This hike is more a walk than a hike. However, the walk is really cool and beautiful. The entry fee is 1$. The view at the top is pretty stunning.

    We are in our young 70's and the heat in September was oppressive so it made the hike even more demanding. It took about an hour to walk the winding trail and then 160+ steps to the top. There were very young and very old...More

    Great views; not an easy hike

    I hiked Diamond Head today, and I loved it. I shelled out the $4 to get the audio tour handset, which plays recorded snippets when you type in certain marker numbers. It was well worth it. I learned a ton about the history of Diamond...More

    The start of the trail is easy enough, but as you get higher, the trail get narrow, so it may not be possible to have 3 across. Towards the top, there are some scenic outlooks, but to teach the actual too, there are two... More
