Overview

The Diamond Head Hike is a 3-hour round-trip adventure, including pick-up and drop-off from your Waikiki hotel. This 1.6-mile trail along Oahu’s southeast coast offers breathtaking views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the Pacific Ocean, making it a must-do for all visitors. The hike is historic yet approachable, with switchbacks, a steep staircase, and remnants of early 20th-century military tunnels, suitable for most ages and beginners.

During the hike, explore ancient volcanic formations, learn about the crater’s role in Oahu’s history, and enjoy insider viewpoints for photos that many visitors miss. Your tour includes a brochure of Diamond Head and a bottled water to stay refreshed.

Ideal for first-time visitors, photographers, and adventure seekers, this experience combines natural beauty, history, and convenience. With Kaimana Tours’ self-guided hike, you can set your own pace, enjoy the spectacular scenery, and fully immerse yourself in one of Oahu’s most iconic landmarks.

Stop to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and spot native plants and coastal landscapes. A complimentary bottle of water keeps you hydrated as you explore.
