Great way to see the area along the way to diamond head. The hike was great as well ! Did not feel like the lunch at the end needed to be included as it dragged the day a little. Things could also have been condensed. Kelly was very friendly and knowledgeable!

A bike and hike tour to remember!

Kelly was an excellent guide, providing interesting facts and details as we rode. He had speakers on every bike and we could hear him clearly. Very conscientious for our safety. Had an exhilarating hike up and down Diamond Head. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Market Grill. The curry chicken in papaya is highly recommended! Kelly took a ton of photos and shared it along with a fun video of our adventures. I'd definitely recommend this tour for those seeking simultaneous exercise and fun!

Oahu: Diamond Head Hiking, North Shore & Small-Group Island Tour

bailey_m, Aug 2026

Tour Experience

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu! My husband and I started the day with the Diamond Head hike and then continued on a full island tour. It was an amazing way to see so much of the island in one day and was absolutely worth it. Our driver, Stephanie, was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable from start to finish. To top it all off, by the end of the long day we realized we had accidentally left a few things we had purchased on the bus. We got in touch with Jonah, who went above and beyond by making the trip back to where we were staying to return our belongings. We truly appreciated his kindness and exceptional customer service. It was a long day, but an unforgettable experience. 10/10 we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!

Know before you go

There is a fee to enter per car and a separate entrance fee for non-Hawaii residents; Diamond Head ticket types include parking and entry or simply entry.
Hiking up Diamond Head involves numerous steep stairs and isn't accessible for travelers in wheelchairs. The trail also includes a 225-foot (68-meter) tunnel that is well-lit but can feel a bit tight.
Restrooms and water are located at the trailhead, but there are no facilities on the trail.
Be sure to wear proper walking shoes.
On tours of the crater with a guide, hotel transport is often included and reduces the need to find parking.
