Good tour!

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!

E bikes are the way to go!

It ended up being like a private tour because there was only two of us so it was like a private tour.Ryan was terrific! Very knowledgeable and pointed out many interesting and historical facts. Very conscientious about keeping us safe even with some traffic situations. Was good about explaining how to use the bikes and maximize their function. Thanks Ryan!

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!

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.
