Diamond Head

Diamond Head Road at 18th Avenue, Honolulu, HI

 

Panoramas from this 760-foot extinct volcanic peak, once used as a military fortification, extend from Waikiki and Honolulu in one direction and out to Koko Head in the other, with surfers and windsurfers scattered like confetti on the cresting waves below. This 360-degree perspective is a great orientation for first-time visitors of both this island, its neighbors, and this pyroclastic volcano. The trek to the summit of the extinct volcano attracts more than 600,000 visitors each year, offering not only breathtaking views of Oahu and the Pacific, but a cheap and memorable family activity that usually takes less than two hours.

  • Great view of Honolulu on one side and great view of Hawaii Kai on the other side .
  • Hard hike to the top and no water along the way .

“Diamond Head, beautiful view of Honolulu, but remember to take a flash light with you as you go through a tunnel and very important take water with you, as there is no drinking water along the way or at the top!”
