Description

Take on one of Oahu’s most iconic hikes with a self-guided visit to Diamond Head, including round-trip shuttle service from Waikiki. This popular crater trail combines easy access, included park entry, and sweeping summit views over Honolulu, Waikiki, and the Pacific Ocean. With transportation, reservations, and a trail map included, it is a simple way to experience one of the island’s best-known landmarks. After departing Waikiki by shuttle, arrive at Diamond Head and begin the 1.6-mile round-trip hike at your own pace. The trail starts on paved ground, then continues along uneven walkways with switchbacks, historic military tunnels, and steep stair sections near the top. The route is considered moderate overall, with some more demanding stretches during the final climb. Along the way, use your included map to follow the trail and enjoy changing views as you gain elevation inside the volcanic crater. At the summit area, take in panoramic views across Honolulu, Waikiki, and the coastline before making your way back down. A bottle of water is included, and restrooms and water fountains are available at the trailhead only.
