Traveller Tips

It is a bit strenuous if you are not fit, but it is doable, just pace yourself and take breaks along the way if needed.

Our family love the amazing view and early morning is the best.

Great guide on the bus- gave clear directions of what to do Walk is definitely a challenge for older guests but doable

Awesome hike with my wife and son

Danny_P, Mar 2023

If you like hiking, this is a great short .8 mile hike to the top of Diamond head, you will go through a tunnel and a very stiff stairs until you get to the top. The view of Hawaii is stunning., you may want to do it early in the morning as this place gets pack.

Definitely worth the vigorous exercise to see the views from the top lookout.

Timothy_K, Mar 2023

The climb to the top of Diamond Head is strenuous but definitely worth the time and vigorous exercise. My wife and I are in good shape and walked at a reasonable pace. The views from the top of Diamond Head are amazing.

What a great hike! So much easier to have the shuttle pick me up and take me to the the state park. No worries about how to get there or making reservations.

Lovely family hike

Individuals, Couples, and Families can enjoy this excursion. It is not a long hike, but can be crowded or hot. This tour operator got us through the crowds and on the hike in the morning. There are 99 steps and it can be slippery. Wear solid shoes!

Melissa_H, Feb 2023

What a cool experience to hike to hike up to the top of a State monument. Great views at the top. Would recommend you drink plenty of water while hiking.

Step by step to the top

Karen_F, Feb 2023

The accomplishment of making to the top is rewarded by the incredible views. It was a wonderful feeling, and worth every step.

Simply awesome.

Emma_D, Feb 2023

This tour was awesome. The Climb was exhilarating. The view from the top was so breathtaking. You go at your own pace. The driver had water for every one. He got us there safely and we all return safely and that was the most important thing.

Everything was great.

Jayna_P, Feb 2023

The driver that took us to and from the hotel pick up point (Diego) was very nice and kept us informed with when to meet back for a pick up. Diamond Head is reservation only now so it was nice to not have to worry about that with this tour which includes your ticket into the park.

Diamond Head crater well worth the visit

Margaret_G, Feb 2023

The walk up into Diamond Head crater was truly exciting! It wasn't too hard and you could stop along the way. The tunnel and bunkers were interesting and the view was breathtaking! Well worth the visit. Our driver was knowledgable and informative. This tour was a highlight of my visit to Hawaii.

Amazing - Try not to miss this

Claudia_K, Feb 2023

This was a last minute decision for us and I'm so glad we booked the tour. It was fantastic. You must be able to walk and I would suggest you go early so the temperature is cool.
