Volcanic Crater

About This Attraction

Honolulu United States

Diamond Head, also known as Lēʻahi, is a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It offers visitors one of the most iconic views in Honolulu, attracting hikers who are eager to reach its summit. The hike is about 0.8 miles each way and can be moderately challenging, so its important to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Visitors should also pay attention to Diamond Head opening hours, which typically run from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the gates closing at 6:00 PM.

At the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean. In addition to its natural beauty, Diamond Head has historical significance, as it was once used as a strategic military lookout. There is an entrance fee for non-residents, which helps maintain the trail and surrounding areas. For those planning a visit, early morning is often the best time to go to avoid crowds and heat.
