The Diamond Head Crater Hike is a must for everyone while staying in Honolulu. It was a such a nice trail and the view was the best prize we could have all! Full review by OZS_ATW

I was very impressed with the hike even though it was abit challenging with the humidity the day I went. The view from the top was absolutely wonderful and the history behind was very informative. Full review by Sheldon M

Beautiful hike. Ascent less than a mile in total but pretty strenuous. Pay off in amazing views. Make sure to book in advance - you can't buy tickets at the gate without reserving them first (a … Full review by Bob J

It depends on your level of fitness/stability on uneven surfaces. The beginning of the hike is a very easy to walk trail but there are rockier parts as you move along. The stairs are tougher to climb but there are handrails and you can take rests on the way. There were people half your ages having to rest along the trail!

Q:
We are visiting in Late August with a 18mth old and 11,and 8 year old boys. We feel the hike is not suitable for us, but would like to see this site. Is there any point to visiting if not doing the hike up. Is there nice park facilities or other nice areas of interest to spend time at here. Or do we give this area a miss? Thank you

The hike is a moderately difficult hike (in my opinion), though if you are experienced hikers, you may find it easy. Your 8 and 11 year old boys will be fine, but you'd have to carry your 18 …

The hike is a moderately difficult hike (in my opinion), though if you are experienced hikers, you may find it easy. Your 8 and 11 year old boys will be fine, but you'd have to carry your 18-month old, which could be challenging. There is an open field of grass inside the crater, but at $5 per vehicle, probably not worth the visit, unless you plan to hike up to the top bunker for the views. FYI, you could try researching the Makapuu Lighthouse trail, or perhaps Round Top Drive and Puu Ualakaa State Park, which also provide cool views. Aloha!
