Start your adventure with round-trip shuttle service from Waikiki, arriving at the Diamond Head trailhead with your park reservation and trail map in hand. Follow the 1.6-mile self-guided loop through paved paths and gentle switchbacks, learning about the crater’s 150,000-year volcanic history along the way. Pass through historic military tunnels built in the early 1900s and climb the steep staircase near the summit for panoramic views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the Pacific Ocean. Stop to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and spot native plants and coastal landscapes. A complimentary bottle of water keeps you hydrated as you explore. This moderate hike provides a hands-on understanding of Hawaii’s natural beauty, geological history, and iconic landmarks, making it a must-do for visitors of all ages.
If you are not staying in Waikiki, a free parking lot is available at 2805 Monsarrat Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815. Please park there and walk to the Queen Kapiolani Hotel for shuttle pick-up. Be on time, as the shuttle will not wait for late arrivals.
After booking, please contact Kaimana Tours to confirm your pick-up location and time. International travelers without a U.S. mobile number should provide their hotel room number. We will try to reach you 24 hours before your tour; if we cannot contact you, the shuttle may not be able to operate.
Please wait outside of the hotel your pick-up was assigned to. The driver has multiple stops, so you may not be the first or last pick-up of the day. Allow a 5–10 minute window for arrival, and if the driver hasn’t arrived by then, please give us a call.
