Great experience. Driver arrived on time for pickup, gave great commentary about area and advice for hike. Was so easy to take trip and let someone else worry about details of getting there. Thanks for great experience.

Wonderful hike with beautiful views. The greenery with the water is stunning. Not too strenuous either- had stopping points in case you need a break. Highly recommend.

Best Shuttle Experience for Hiking Diamondhead!

Pamela_S, Aug 2026
This shuttle to/from Diamondhead was terrific! Our driver picked us up on time and was so helpful with all logistics. The allotted time before our scheduled pick-up was more than adequate for both the hike up, our time at the top, and a leisurely walk back down. Thanks for this great option!

The Way to Go to do the Hike to Diamond Head

Roxanne_D, Aug 2026
The tour picked us up very close to our hotel. The driver (Matt) gave us a lot of interesting information as we drove to Diamond Head. He stopped at a turnout so we could get out and take photos of the beautiful view. He drove us in and we went to the top. It was easy in and out of the park. The only thing I would comment on, which has nothing to do with Matt, is that we had 2 hours to do the hike and be back on the bus. The issue being is that 2 hours was almost not enough as the line waiting to get to the actual top was very long. We almost thought we were going to have to turn around before we made it to the top viewing area.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad you had a smooth experience with Matt and enjoyed the information and scenic photo stop along the way. We also appreciate your feedback about the timing at Diamond Head and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Diamond Head Hike

Katie_L, Jul 2026
The hike itself is a bit strenuous, but definitely doable if you take your time and take breaks as needed. The scenery is breathtaking! The Go Tours driver, Eric, was amazing! He was prompt, courteous, and funny. The pickup location was a three minute walk from our hotel, so it was very easy to get to the shuttle. I would recommend this tour!

Very good tour for older kids (10 and up). Great shuttle driver, very friendly and provided some history of the site. The hike was just challenging enough for us 70ish folks and the views from the top made it worth the effort.

Diamond head hike,

Lisa_T, Jul 2026
The hike itself was awesome. 20 minutes up 20 minutes down and then time for food. I don’t know the driver‘s name and didn’t get any history from him – so just a driver – not a tour guide

Alberto_S, Jun 2026
I wish the driver was more vocal and given more information about the mountain. 2ndly, the most dynamic view of the island; HOWEVER, it's not recommended for anyone with medical condition (s). It's a challenge of approximately 1.6miles with steep, and I mean STEEP Climbing!!! If you're not in physical shape, don't risk it.. otherwise; A must See!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the narration and will continue working to make the experience more informative for our guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the incredible views, and we agree that some stops require proper preparation and awareness of the physical challenges involved.

Andy_W, Jun 2026
The hike can get steep with a lot of stairs closer to the summit, but overall is a pretty casual hike with great 360 degree views. Several great lookout spots along the way before the 360 degree views at the summit. Highly recommend. Having a shuttle pick you up near your hotel and drop you off at the park is very convenient as well. The tour guide, Matt, did a great job explaining different local aspects during the drive and was generally just a very friendly, gracious, and helpful guide.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
