Amazing! Yovo was such an awesome guide combining a great run route with really great local info. He also snapped a stack of photos for us on his phone to send to us which is brilliant. This is a must do for any visitors who want to stretch the legs and get a top insight into the region. Zero regrets about taking this tour - 10/10. Jake & Amanda 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Diamond Head running tour is a great way to see one of Honolulu's amazing natural attractions and to also see Honolulu itself. Totally worth the ~650ft (~200 m) climb! It is for people of various fitness levels and you get to relax at the top. My wife and I had a great run with our guide Yovo, who was enthusiatic, friendly, knowledgable and fun! We loved running in Hawaii! Highly recommended!

My wife and I have done a number of running tours - but this was by far the best. We signed up for the personalized tour (2 hours), and within a few hours Yovo emailed us and asked us which tour we would like. He showed up the next morning at our hotel lobby to pick us up at 6:30 am and we were off to Diamond Head. We parked and started the run. He was extremely polite, provided a lot of history, and even provided us with drinks and rain coats (it didn't end up raining that day). He led us up the crater, with frequent stops for some historic tidbits and some water breaks. We reached the top and he took us to a nice spot where we sat and had a bit of a picnic. He went ahead and cut us up some fruit, granola bars etc. It was really an amazing experience. He also took photos of us throughout the tour so that we could commemorate the event. I suggest doing this tour and if possible, as for Yovo!
