Taking the trek up the Diamond Head trail is definitely worth it IMO. Go early in the morning if possible but take water with you. It's not an extremely challenging hike but the trail zig zags as you climb up. As you get to the very top, you'll walk through a long, somewhat narrow tunnel. When you emerge, you'll have the choice of turning right and ascending an intimidatingly steep set of stairs or go left up a less scary route. If you look on the wall in front of you, you'll notice that it's a loop. I would personally take the route to the left and make your way slowly to the top where you can get some great pictures of the area. Then, keep walking down a narrow path to a bunker of sorts where gunners used to guard the coastline. Once you climb into the bunker, walk to the back and you'll find a circular stairwell descending to the lower level which ends up being the top of those intimidating stairs you saw at the beginning of the loop. Walk down those stairs a go back through the tunnel to make your way back to the entrance of the trail. Should take a little over an hour give or take a few minutes depending on how many breaks you take ;)

Driver was amazing, gave great food recommendations on the Island! Diamond head view was spectacular, definitely a must see!

This was an exhilarating experience! Before I got to the site I was worried that I was too out-of-shape, and not ready for the hike. But when I got there and saw more senior folks than me, making the trek, I was heartened. I am very glad I chose to do this. It was a challenge that resulted in enormous satisfaction upon reaching the top. The view is breathtaking. Well worth the hike.

Picked up at hotel in timely manner in a new air conditioned van. Friendly driver. Gorgeous walk to the top and stunning views at the Blow Hole stop.

Had a great time doing the Diamond Head Hike. Recommend going in the am very little air movement in the afternoon. Narrow and uneven paths. View was beautiful overlooking Honolulu. Also went to Manowa Falls where they filmed Lost, Jumunji 2 and Jurassic Park. Very rocky incline with a water fall at the end. driver gave us bug spray and a walking stick, which came in handy.

Matthew, our driver, was the absolute best. I really enjoyed his humor and all the fun facts he told us. The hike was hot and hard but I felt like I had my Rocky Balboa moment at the top!! Spectacular views!

The driver was very friendly and very professional. Our trip was awesome and we had a good time . They were on time and very informative .

Very steep hike with a lot of stairs and uneven surfaces. I would rate it moderate difficulty. The views are will worth it! Our driver, Mathew, was funny and a font of information. Highly recommended!

Our tour guide was informative and encouraging on how to climb Diamond Head. As we traveled to Diamond Head he shared information on many sights that we passed by. Scenery was amazing at the summit

Great tour, super easy and well timed. Driver was great and overall experience was well worth it! Would definitely use this company again.

It was great! The ride was fun and the driver had lots of jokes and information. What a wonderful hike. Would recommend for solo or groups. Cost is cheaper than a cost of uber and ticket.

We did the hike in the time allotted however, it could have been better for us if we had another hour to walk and view. We made a friend as well on our trip. We wanted to see the view from the top! It's gorgeous!

Our driver was great! He called me to let us know he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see him arrive and he was parked behind us. He was funny and entertaining as he drove us to the park. The hike was strenuous, and was slippery in the rain, especially the descent. We were easily able to complete the hike in the allotted time. The views were beautiful and probably would have been better in bright sun and with no low-hanging clouds.

Our Driver Matthew, was friendly, on time and shared his local knowledge on our way from our hotel to Diamond Head Crater.

We visited Oahu recently and we knew we had to visit Diamond Head. We got our reservations as soon as the date opened up because there is limited availability and they won’t let you in without a reservation. Once there, we headed straight up on the hike, not really knowing what to expect. This is a pretty challenging trek, you start uphill and keep on going until you reach the summit. The trail is a combination of paved, rock, and some stairs mixed in for good measure. Along the way there are a few spots to stop and catch your breath and take pictures. At the top, there is a platform to climb onto and admire the views in all directions. The scenery really is breathtaking, with views all around of the island, Honolulu, the ocean, etc. We stayed at the top for around 20-30 minutes just taking it all in. We like hikes where there is a good payoff at the end, and Diamond Head delivers on that point. Well worth the effort to get to the top, highly recommended.
