Great hike with amazing views. The stairs are brutal, but rewarding and an achievement!
Worth all the walk I didn’t read about need to make reservation before u can start to walk also I was thinking u can just purchase tickets in the entrance but no so just be aware of that I recommend like everyone else to go there early morning to see the sunrise or afternoon to watch sunset but definitely try to avoid the heat and if you brings kids make sure they can walk or you will get very tired if you try to carry them just advise!! Other than that enjoy is a beautiful view
Make sure you get a parkimg ticket in advance! It costs roughly $25 a car which was 100% worth it. This is probably the best view of the island you will get unless your in the air. It's a hike but it's paved or cut into the rock face the entire way. Some areas are a bit narrow but still room for 2 people side by side. There are plenty of spots to stop and take in the view while resting if you need it. There are water stations, vending machines and bathrooms at the start.
You need to make a reservation online before showing up at the park to hike to the top of diamond head crater. But it is only $5.00 and easy to do on their website. It is about 3.5 miles round trip from the nearest bus stop. It’s uphill all the way to the top with several resting stops along the way with something to sit on. It is very hot in the afternoon but there is some shade and breezes to cool you off a bit. There are some machines near the start to buy water, gatorade and soda. The water was $2. The machines take cash or credit card. The view of Waikiki from the top is stunning.
Diamond Head is a must-visit spot in Hawaii with its breathtaking panoramic view, deserving a 4/5 rating. The stunning vistas offer a full view of Hawaii’s beauty. A trip here is definitely worth experiencing.
You just have to experience the beauty of this place. Best time to go is in morning anytime before noon as the tourist can get a little overwhelming at times.
Did a sunrise hike...absolutely worth it, beautiful. Either book a ticket ahead of time through the park, just be sure you have a plan to get there early enough. Or book transportation and ticket through a tour service. Park does not open until 6am, no matter when the sunrise is.
Beautiful place. Nice, well maintained trail, but it is basically all straight up hill, to be followed by many,many stairs. Not an "easy hike." Beautiful, but not easy.
