Caught the local No. 2 bus to the bottom of the park - there are other buses that drop you slightly closer but this bus has more trips per hour. I went early on a slightly overcast day - still hot and the track still busy but not overly congested. The view is better with sunlight but the climb is... More 

Along the climb we passed many people...young and old. Everyone hiking at their own pace. However long it takes you, it's definitely worth the view and the cool breeze that await you at the top! Don't forget to bring your selfie stick. Restrooms and food truck selling shaved ice is great when you come back down.

Just see that you go here early or else the sun heat will make you more tired later. Parking fee is $5,and walk in $1.Starting out as a pretty gradual incline, you'll come to switchbacks as you near the top

We caught the bus from our hotel to the entrance of the crater & walked to the entrance gate. Charge was $1 per person. We left the hotel a little late so by the time we started walking (10am) the weather was very hot. It starts with a gentle slope but then you have quite a few steps to climb... More

Beautiful hiking trail. Endpoint - is the summit of the volcano crater of Diamond Head on the outskirts of Honolulu, with views of the Pacific Ocean.

This was definitely a highlight of our trip. The hike up to the top of the park is a little challenging at times, but well worth it. The views of the surround area were amazing, and we even saw a full rainbow. The park also features some interesting historical points, including old military bunkers.

The view from the top is stunning. Full views of Waikiki. Enjoyable walk, or run as some choose. I have now climbed Diamond Head 4-times. We do it each time we visit Oahu. I definitely recommend it, even if you have already done it before.

The walk up is a bit strenuous but the views are worth the effort. There are 99 steps as part of the climb, easy to navigate.
