This hike phenomenal. Even the drive to reach this place is fantastic. There is a look out just before the tunnel it’s beautiful, driving thru the tunnel is also amazing with white lights.
The views after reaching the top is amazing.
One side is the city view and the other side is the ocean view it’s amazing.
Definitely recommend this hike if you are in Honolulu. Reservations are required, I recommend the morning reservation since it’s very hot and you walk opposite to sun most of the hike.
Do the reservations quickly since they allow limited people. The to and fro hike is about 2 hours which is moderate and very safe as well.
A very nice walk, includes for about 20 minutes (took me 45 minutes with kids). A great lookout. There are bathrooms at the bottom and vending machines with drinks. I saw some nice birds and first time seeing a mongoose (saw 3 of them). A good experience as a tourist. Don’t forget to book online and pay $5 before you go as reservations are required.
We’re good shoes! Bring H2O to hydrate! And wear a hat! Make parking reservations and tickets ahead of time, on line. Go at your own pace and enjoy the scenery! It is a bit of an up hill walk with lots of steps at the top. There is a long lighted tunnel you go through so if you have a phobia of small darkish places or heights you might want to rethink going to the summit. If you go to the summit go into the gunner pit. And at the back the is spiral steps that will take you down the back way. The view is well worth the hike. It is not a hard hike just up hill and lots of steps. Allow 2 hours so you can take in the view and relax at the summit. Nice way to spend a few hours.
Book space ahead of time. It is a relatively easy hike, but you are climbing a mountain. There’s lots of places to take breaks on the way up, and the sun can be very warm, don’t underestimate this one, I saw many people struggling to get up, especially the stairs at the top. Worth the climb though, the views are wonderful. It was very crowded at the top though.
Such a fun hike and beautiful view at the top. When it says going left is the best route, they are serious. Both trails end at the same destination, and you can go down the harder way to see that route.
This was a great hike! The view from the top is phenomenal! My family and I reserved tickets 2 days before for a 10am hike and the timing was great bc it allowed us to fit another activity after the hike. There are people of all ages in this trail so it is doable even if you are not a hiker. In the final stage I would totally suggest the ramps instead of the stairs since you continue enjoying the view. Definitely recommend!
The hike was a solid effort but over fairly quickly, so it definitely was appropriate for most people of different ages. Be prepared with a reservation ahead of time or expect to be turned away. Would recommend this hike to anyone who likes breathtaking views and a good challenge!
Mostly paved or rock trail with railings and scenic overlooks. A little muddy in a few spots after a rain. Make sure to get reservations for your out-of-state guests. Cheap and easy online, $5. None needed for resident. Recommend early reservation for sunrise and while still cool and less busy.
It was a difficult hike but totally worth every ragged breath. Most of the way up is filled with rubble but there is a small section that is open between each tram and it can be scary. But I took my time going up and coming down and I was fine. I saw
Not a place I'd bring kids or pets but a great time for adults who are confident swimmers. The waves are pretty gnarly and a couple of people underestimated how powerful they were and needed help getting back out of the water while I was there. If yo
No other beach like it , rugged coast up against raw chunky Diamond head itâs almost primal.. beautiful coco palms and several sea staircases give this beach unmatchable charm
No restrooms , dog friendly no playground lots of picnic area
Other than loud music here and there , I love walking around the park from time to time. If you walk around the entire park 2-3 laps it will probably help you to achieve 6000+ steps depending on a route.
Overall the best place to hang out with famili
Definitely a great Beach to experience. I don't think you could go wrong with any beach around this area, but if I recommend one it might be this one. I believe there were some restrooms close by and the waves were not huge. So if you wanted to go ou
We have been going here for years. It is one of the more popular playgrounds in Honolulu for kids. We have been to many around the city and this is our favorite. It's handy since we live so close. Parks system also offers loads of classes (volleyball
A favorite chill spot. It's actually a recreational center with a baseball field...it's huge. Busy sometimes with the keikis and sports. There's a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts. Picnic tables & restrooms too. Nice view of Honolulu city
Best tip for first time tourist to Oahu! If you want to see Diamond Head and you donât want to hike up 9000 steps! You can drive up here and see all of Oahu!!! Thank me layer!!!
Shoot was - as expected - amazing. Stunning mastery of technique, patter, and showmanship. Hilarious sense of humour, was great at working the crowd and had a lot of warmth and heart incorporated into his performance, and the story he told throughout
Ono, soo ono. If you enjoy the taste and feel of each bite in your mouth, this is the place for local, healthy, ono eats. Fresh every single time. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten at one restaurant three (3) times IN THE FIRST WEEK

I have been searching and searching for great biscuits and gravy like I used to get back in Texas, and OMG these were so so so so much better than that. Did something different and went with the chicken biscuits and gravy and was happily surprised at
This gluten free bakery was what dreams are made of. If youâre looking for sage gluten free (and some vegan) options too, I recommend getting out of Waikiki and stocking up here on your visit to Hawaii when you can. I brought my gluten free family
Absolutely loved the hike steady climb Iâm a big guy and made it with no problems. Elderly people women holding babies even the show off running up and down the hill just do it and say you have done it!
Le's Banh Mi in Honolulu, Hawaii is a hidden gem on the third floor of the 808 building. Their excellent Vietnamese sandwiches are a delight for banh mi lovers. The clean and welcoming balcony seating area adds to the experience. The Saigon style ban
I enjoy the yoga practice, 60 min bikram session is time effective for me, clean dressing rooms, showers, great smelling shampoo and conditioner âï¸easy to refill water bottle, all around great experience. Most importantly run by great people
The coffee shop was pretty good. We loved the ambiance and their specialty coffee's. They do have guest wifi and indoor seating if you want to work or have conversations!
We tried lavender latte with banana bread! Would definitely recommend checking
Fantastic dive with Devin. He is probably the best dive instructor/guide Iâve had so far, just a good experience, all smooth sailing and hassle free. Diving the wreck was awesome with lots of swim throughs, which I hadnât done before. Saw turtles
