Diamond Head State Monument offers panoramic, stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Honolulu. Our home sits on the slopes of this 300,000 year old crater. You can walk but we recommend driving to the entrance of the crater. The trail starts from inside the crater and isn't very long but can be somewhat of a challenge due to the incline. It is well worth the climb as up top you can see breathtaking views of all of Waikiki. This historic monument sued to be used by the US military as a post for preventing attacks against Honolulu. Make sure to get there before 4:30pm, as the park closes at 6pm and they do not allow hikers after 4:30. The hike will take you about 1.5-2 hours and you should bring a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated. Parking can get busy and is cash only ($5/car, $1/person for pedestrians)

    Hiking Diamond Tou Mountain, meeting the rainbow today during the day, a little rain, the clouds did not completely dissipate in the afternoon, the sun was not so sun, so came to Diamond Tou Mountain hiking, and so luckily encountered the rainbow. Diamond Head Mountain hiking sometimes limits tourist traffic and adopts the advance reservation system (limit the number of people making reservations per time period, and they will not let in when they are full), so it is best to check it on National Park Service website before departure. If the parking lot next to visitor center is full, you can try to find a parking space in the Kahala Lookout parking lot before crossing the tunnel. The hiking trail is not difficult, and it is usually half an hour to an hour after walking one way. The view from the top of the mountain is very good.

    If your Honolulu trip is only enough to schedule a hike, then I must recommend coming to Diamond Head Volcano. Diamond Head (Diamond Head) is a famous dead volcano in Honolulu. The hiking trail is not difficult, suitable for the whole family to travel together, and after climbing to the top of the fire, you can see the Waikiki coastline and the city of Honolulu from a very good perspective. You can also see the outer edge of the crater that is obviously like a bowl mouth.

    If you drive by yourself, you need to pay 5 dollars for parking. A good place to climb high and look far away. I am a person who does not like climbing mountains and does not like steps. It just happens that Diamond Head Mountain is either a step or a stone road. I didn't stop for the beauty of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, you can overlook the volcanic crater, there is a small observation deck at the peak, you can already overlook half of the island, the trail is slightly challenging, the first half is a ramp, the second half needs to climb 2 groups of 175 steps, passing the bunker left by the US military. You need to flash through the dark tunnels or old military bunkers. But walking slowly is not very difficult. After the summit, you will have panoramic views of the south bank of Oahu and the stunning Waikiki Beach, with the observation deck overlooking the entire Waikiki and self-entertainment site for the trip. On the top of the mountain, I saw a superdaddy with 5 babies. Chinese dads are stinky when they change their diapers. The gap is.
