This hike is definitely a must-do, and I highly recommend getting there for sunrise. Jonah was a wealth of information during the ride, from history to best spots to eat. Once dropped off at the entrance, you're on your own for the actual hike, but there are always tons of people and the trail is well marked. They also provided flashlights which was KEY. Im not a big outdoor enthusiast but id consider it a moderate hike, with stunning views along the way. Highly recommend!!!

Worth the effort and early am time slot. Very manageable hike that you proceed at your own pace. Driver was patient and timely.

The early morning Diamond Head hike was absolutely worth it! We definitely recommend going early before it gets too hot and crowded. The cooler temperatures made the hike much more enjoyable. The views from the top are breathtaking and make every step worth it. Standing there and taking it all in was a beautiful reminder of how wonderful the Lord is and how incredible His creation is. If you're visiting Oahu, don't miss this hike it was an unforgettable experience!

Perfect activity to do with my teenager. Beautiful views! Hike is moderate but short to do. Def worth it!

Great way to hike diamond head and have someone else figure the logistics. Driver picked us up at our hotel. Drove to entrance at sunrise and had our tickets all set. Also explained the hike so we knew what to expect. There are two different trail options. For most people take the easier route. Well worth it to have a guide especially if your first time. Beats taking the bus. It may be easy to Uber to the park but it might be difficult to get one back.

Wear comfortable secure shoes. I am not a hiker nor do I walk. Should exercise more. Was actually embarrassed about how out of shape I am. With all that said, it is a moderate hike for someone like me. Absolutely STUNNING views. You have olenty of time to take breaks, catch your breath and enjoy the views. Highly recommend the first tour of the day for the views and temperature. There is a short tunnel with minimal lighting so may need a flashlight if its dark outside or if it makes you nervous. Food trucks at the bottom were great. Also, no bathrooms on the trail itself so if you are taking your time and drinking lots of water...beware...lol. Great experience.

Stephanie was an amazing tour guide! She was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about Hawaii on our way to Diamond Head. She went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience and even kindly dropped me off at my hotel, even though it wasn’t part of my itinerary. Her exceptional service and genuine care made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend Stephanie. Mahalo!

Fantastic views - well worth the hike! Early morning provided ample opportunities to catch the sunrise. Good walking shoes are a must. Parts of the trail are wet and slippery. The terrain is in-even - and there are plenty of hand rails. Lots of areas to stop and take spectacular photos. Worth the money to have transportation to and from the park - makes entry a breeze. The air is heavy first thing in the morning. If you have breathing challenges such as asthma - a medical inhaler would help.
Sarah_S, Jul 2026
Wonderful hike, amazing views. I highly recommend this to any traveler. The hike is uphill with a lot of stairs, so certainly not for the frail traveler.
Cherie_L, Jul 2026
Great morning activity!! The driver and tour guide was fantastic and told you just what to expect! Highly recommend doing this hike. The view is totally worth it!
Sue_W, Jul 2026
We wore hiking boots and really enjoyed the hike. Took about 2 hours since we took lots of pictures. We even saw a rainbow! We did the 5:30am pickup and it was already daylight by the time the park opened at 6am. We went in late June 2026.
William_R, Jul 2026
The hike was amazing. I would consider it an easy - moderate trail. It's paved, but there are some portions that are steep. Epic sites and go early in the morning to beat the heat.
Tim_E, Jun 2026
Everything was right on time. Our driver dealt with the traffic on the way into the park so we could relax.
Jill_D, Jun 2026
Pleasant early morning hike. Communication was fantastic from the tour company. Plenty of time to complete the hike and take some pictures, even with the early morning crowd.
Michelle_P, Jun 2026
John was our driver. He was on time and very knowledgeable. He gave us tips for the hike. Must do while you're visiting Waikiki.
Jessica_K, Jun 2026
Our driver was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He provided us with just the right amount of information and he was a great resource for our questions.
This was a super convenient way to get to and from Diamond head without having to book separate rides or reservations to the park. Plus providing water was great! So happy that this tour started early and got us there and done before the heat of the day set in! Highly recommended!!

The bottom line on this experience is that you can probably hike Diamond Head more economically, but this package makes it super easy. You’ll be among the first in - which is a must because the “trail” and staircases are narrow - and you’ll get friendly tips on how long each of the three segments of the hike might reasonably take. You might even make friends who will take turns taking gorgeous photos for you!
The hike itself is very worth it, and booking this experience was motivating and made it easy to accomplish.
Ramona_P, Jun 2026
Plenty of time to complete the hike. Tour guide does not go on the hike but that is not needed -- he picked me up at my hotel, took pictures we requested at drop off site before hike started, and shared info about Waikiki on the way back. Perfect for what I needed.
Brandon_S, Jun 2026
Jonah was great! Good communication and smooth driving! I would definitely book Diamond Head hike again. 🙂
Christina_G, Jun 2026
Bring water, take your time if you’re over 60. I’m 62 and had recent knee replacement 16 month age. I did it. I was slow, but made it
Julie_M, Jun 2026
It was a great hike. The driver Jonah was courteous and friendly. He recommended a few local spots to eat and drink that were outstanding!
Alan_W, May 2026
Making it to the top is invigorating and the most beautiful view of Honolulu- go at the earliest time available
Tina_C, May 2026
It was a great experience I’m so glad I did it! The view was worth it! Our driver jonah was great. The steps was alittle challenging but I did it so proud of myself!
Wendy_M, May 2026
Exhilarating views. 3 hr total length and hike & rest length, perfect. Hike is moderate to medium level, but can easily pace yourself. Fun Group/Jonah was great.
Donald_R, May 2026
Very timely both side. Pick was perfect . Driver was very knowledgeable and provided helpful tips! Highly recommended and do it at 5:30 . Views are spectacular.
Michael_W, May 2026
Go early .bring water won't need a jacket. Narrow paths. Stairs will kick your butt. Pace yourself take your time.
Daron_S, May 2026
Great tour… awesome staff! Go early before it gets hot… our driver stopped for sunrise pictures on the way.
Beth_S, May 2026
We had a fantastic morning hike up Diamond Head. The park and views are beautiful. Sunrise experience was well worth the early start. Recommended for sure.
Janine_C, Apr 2026
This is a steep hike! Take your time and watch your footing. Make sure to go early in the morning before it starts to get hot. Beautiful view. Our driver, Jonah was knowledgeable and friendly. Answered questions we asked him.
Stephanie_B, Apr 2026
Friendly and efficient pick up and drop off service. The timings work out great, you arrive at the location before it gets too hot and overcrowded
Nancy_C, Apr 2026
Stephanie was and excellent driver and guide. The hike was more like a climb, with railings. Very doable.
