Must see

This is a fabulous place. You climb the volcano then relax in the crater afterward. I suggest to enjoy the crater afterward. It’s a beautiful setting....after our climb we enjoyed the varied landscape inside. We sat back and ate and relaxed after our climb.

Spectacular views!

A very beautiful and rewarding hike to the top where you can see magic views of Honolulu. It’s a hot, hectic hike but if you’re fit enough it’s definitely well worth it.

Looks more demanding of a hike than it actually is. Cant have been more than 45 mins up. I walked from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head and that might have been a 45 min to an hour walk. The hike itself is not overly taxing...More

Great views

Beautiful view of the island. This is the one sight to see while visiting Oahu. There is a lot of walking but well worth it. Be there early morning if you want to avoid the crowd.
