The Majestic Diamond Head Crater

The stunning Diamond Head Crater got its name in the 1800s when British sailors saw a strange glitter on a distant peak that they thought were diamonds. The gleam was truthfully caused by calcite crystals, but the name has stuck ever since, and does genuinely capture the incredible beauty of this glorious peak.

Gorgeous Views

The trail to Diamond Head Crater covers 1.6 miles of stunning O’ahu scenery. Look out over the coastlines as they stretch to the horizon and see the tropical greenery Hawai'i is famous for roll away with the hills below you. The hike will take you to elevations that will truly let you see the world.

A Reliable and Convenient Shuttle Service

Don’t concern yourself for a moment about the hassle of parking. Let us take you to the hiking trail to avoid the infamously bad parking around this beloved hiking trail. When you are finished with the trail, we will take you back to your accommodations as well. We can pick you up from any major Waikīkī hotel so you can focus on having fun.

Description

In the early 1800s, a ship carved through the waves off the shores of O’ahu. On its deck, sailors looking up through the sea-spray saw a strange glittering in the distance. Doing as sailors always do, they concocted a fantastic story about what they saw. A mountain, capped with diamonds. What they saw in truth was calcite crystals in the lava rocks twinkling in the sun, but the name stuck. The mountain they saw was in truth the massive remains of a volcano, extinct for 150,000 years, rising high above O’ahu. With a diameter of 3,500 feet and some of the most impressive and gorgeous coastlines in the world at its base, this former volcano has since become one of the most beloved tourist locations in the world.

Unfortunately, that means that getting to it can be a bit painful.

So, don’t even worry about it. Use our reliable and convenient shuttling service to skip the miserable parking experience and get straight into a fun hike on one of the most visually spectacular trails in the world. Bring your water bottle, put on some reef-safe sunscreen, and get out there to enjoy the incredible vistas and the wonderful sense of adventure on the Diamond Head Crater trail! When you are on the way back, we will happily transport you back to your accommodations too.
