Best Oahu Hiking Adventure Tours
Diamond Head is a must-see hiking trail!
Experience the best hiking adventures on Oahu. Hiking on Oahu can be as leisurely or as challenging as you would like. This island has various hikes available, from a gentle stroll to a brisk walk through nature.
There are numerous ways to enjoy Oʻahu’s lush greenery. Step into a magical rainforest and follow the sounds of flowing rivers to a cascading waterfall of Jurassic Park. Continue chasing waterfalls with the Koolau waterfall hike. You can see up close our unique plants and exotic birds as well as splash in crystal-clear pools. For an unforgettable adventure, book a waterfall hike and bike combination, all gear included.
Treks along mountains will get your heart pumping and brow sweaty. In Honolulu, enjoy traveling to the summit of the most famous crater on Earth: Diamond Head. It’s perfect for all hiking levels. After walking through its tunnels, you can reach an unparalleled view of Waikiki. You won’t see any diamonds, though; a sailor, who mistook some calcite crystals for diamonds, named it. With or without diamonds, this venture will leave your mind, body, and spirit radiant.
Whichever hike you do, you can explore this tropical paradise and gain a greater appreciation for nature.
