What To Expect

Diamond Head State Monument

Travelers will be taken first to the Diamond Head Hike where they will complete the 1.5-mile trail. The diamond head is a very popular hike in Waikiki. The 0.8-mile hike from trailhead to the summit is steep and strenuous, gaining 560 feet as it ascends from the crater floor. The walk is a glimpse into the geological and military history of Diamond Head. Located near Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii that features beautiful wildflowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and nature trips and is accessible year-round.

Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail

Once dropped off at Makapuu Lighthouse, travelers will be able to experience another type of hiking atmosphere. With views from the coast and the country, you'll be entertained with a view every second. If you're lucky in the winter times, you'll see whales. On super clear days you can also possibly see the other islands from their viewpoints. A must-see experience!

The tour guide was right on time for an early morning pickup to head to Diamond Head. This was a great hike. I liked the variety of non paved trails, a tunnel and stairs to a magnificent view of the island and crater. The Diamond Head area provided restrooms, water fill up stations, signage for photo ops and plenty of places to sit and cool off in the shade. I wouldn't advise booking the Makapuu Lighthouse right after Diamond Head though. Although Makapuu provided a nice paved trail it was steep and offered no shade at all. There were no places to sit or cool off while waiting for the bus. Both were great hikes individually but I wouldn't advise booking them back to back. Transportation and hospitality were outstanding on both tours.

Aloha! Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the hike at Diamond Head and appreciated the variety of trails and stunning views. Our combo tours are highly recommended, as they are cost-effective and time-efficient—especially if you're not on the island for long, with a total distance of about 5.5 miles. We appreciate your advice about scheduling the Makapuʻu Lighthouse hike right after Diamond Head. It’s important to consider the steep terrain and lack of shade there. We’re glad you found our transportation and hospitality outstanding on both tours! We hope to see you again for more memorable adventures!

Amazing hiking experiences for beginners. The views are spectacular! The only slight problem was that the driver picked us up approximately 15 minutes after the time that he provided to pick us up from the Diamond Head hike. I still gave 5 stars as the sights to tour are outstanding. Highly recommend.

Aloha Ruth! We are sorry about the delay, we are currently on our busiest time of the year therefore traffic everywhere is making it difficult to arrive at pickup spots on time, so we always try our best to keep you in the loop! We hope besides that you had an amazing experience with the kaimana tours staff, mahalo!
