Pros: Spectacular views
Cons: Crowds, heat
From the balcony of my hotel room in Waikiki the view of Diamond Head was beautiful and awe-inspiring. It's easy to see why this peak, actually a ridgeline of a volcanic crater, is a favorite of photographers as a natural backdrop for Waikiki Beach. ...

Pros: Maintained by the state, it is an easier hike than many; gorgeous views!
Cons: Only for the mobile; can get crowded.
I was going to review our 3 weeks in Hawaii in order, but changed my mind. The island of Oahu was our last destination and our trip to Diamond Head State Monument was on our second day on Oahu.
Some background information...

Pros: Great view of Waikiki from the top.
Cons: Say no more ....
'Do it early in the morning before it gets too hot ' is the most frequent piece of advice you pick up when researching the walk to the lookout atop Diamond Head.
I had intended to do the walk a lot earlier in the day but bad...

Pros: Awesome and breath-taking views of Honolulu and Waikiki
Cons: Not wheelchair or stroller friendly
I am honored to be asked to participate in Casey Stewart's (KCFoxy) special two year anniversary in Epinions and her 500th Epinion review Write-Off. Casey had a novel idea of rewriting some our most atrocious and little read reviews. Finding an...

Pros: The views are spectacular!
Cons: If you are not in good physical condition think twice about attempting this climb.
In January I visited the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Many people I knew who had previously visited the island said that climbing Diamond Head was a must. Quite few of them said it was hard but "doable". Well I am here to tell you that I ...

Pros: AWESOME VIEW!
Cons: Rough hike, dark tunnels
The information that I had read says this is an easy, but steep walk, that nearly anyone can do. It’s not quite THAT simple, but it is do-able. There is a $1 entry fee per person that goes toward maintenance of the park. If you take The Bus, they...

Pros: Amazing views from the summit
Cons: Not for the physically challenged
When we were on Oahu for our honeymoon, my husband really wanted to hike up Diamond Head. I'm no hiker. I hate hiking. The extent of my previous hiking experience was one hike. In Virginia, I went to Humpback Rock with two friends. One of my friends ...

Pros: Beautiful View, "I did it!"
Cons: Very hot, very steep
My family and I recently returned from a vacation in Oahu. Since we missed climbing Diamond Head on our first visit to the island, we decided to embark on the venture on our second.
What is Diamond Head?
Diamond Head is a rather...

Pros: Moderately challenging climb, with a phenomenal view at the top
Cons: Dark passages at the top
Take a look at any postcard of Honolulu and Waikiki, and chances are you'll find one that has Diamond Head as its backdrop. Diamond Head is as well known to Hawaii as, say, Mount Fuji is to Japan. If you make the climb up Diamond Head, you'll also be...

Pros: beautiful 360 degree view
Cons: not well maintained
I live about 2 miles from Diamond Head, so I think I know something about this place. I use to go there as a young child, (with family and friends, as well as with class "fieldtrips") to play in the grassy park and hike up to the top to see...

Pros: The view
Cons: The trail can get a little congested with people
I've been to the top of Diamond Head and recommend it for anyone who visits Oahu. My parents are in their 70's, my Dad having suffered a heart attack in 1994 and they were able to climb to the top. We went slowly and took our time, having to stop and...

Pros: Great view from the top, great pictures, bragging rights, a great work out
Cons: A workout to get to the top, sweaty, long, and exhausting
That was about my response when I was told that my Hawaii Study Abroad class from Michigan State had to climb up a volcano as part of the class requirement. I thought that this huge climb was going to be way too much for me and it just about was; the...

Pros: a flash of Hawaii's military past, great view
Cons: lots of stairs, narrow corridors and stairs, lots of people
One of the most recognizable Hawaii landmarks is Diamond Head, the climbable volcano. If you have limited time on Oahu should you climb it?
As a Hawaii resident I've gone on many hikes, mostly in the valleys, where waterfalls, lush...

Pros: Awesome view
Cons: Tends to be crowded and "touristy"
I visited Diamond Head in the summer of 1998. As any good guide book will tell you, it's one of the major tourist attractions in the Honolulu area. There are a few things you might want to consider before going, though. Especially on hot days, avoid...

Pros: Free! The view is amazing
Cons: dirt trail
I lived in Hawaii for a couple of years while in the USNavy and a friend convinced me to take the hike. Now, my friend was the kind of guy who would drive to the middle of the island and park and hike around for a couple of hours after working a 12 hour...
