Diamond Head Hike — Trail Guide, Tips & What to Expect
Diamond Head is the iconic volcanic crater overlooking Waikiki Beach — and the trail to the summit is one of the most popular hikes in Hawaii.
The Trail
The hike is 1.6 miles round trip with 560 feet of elevation gain — moderate difficulty, mostly paved switchbacks with some stairs. The final push to the summit goes through a dark tunnel and up steep stairs (225 steps total). The summit has 360-degree views of Waikiki, downtown Honolulu, the coastline, and the crater interior. On clear days you can see other islands.
