I took my 2 kids with me. One is 3 yrs and the other is 10yrs. it was a little rough for the little one but we took our time and made it to the top without problem. The view was amazing . We climbed inside the area where there used to be gun turrets (it was pretty cool) the most fun part for them was going back down running. while at the top ...

It was fun and exciting to view Hawaii from the highest point there, love it and will do it again.

This was a good hike, pretty inense for people who don't hike seriously hike. Prepare for sore legs. We are in good shape and it took us about half hour to get up if I can remember correctly.

I wouldn't do it again, but it was definitely worth doing it once. You get a good idea for the island and how it's set up.

If you want to ...

This is about a 45 minute walk to the top of the crater. It costs $1 to enter the park and I got a taxi to take me and the wife there for $10 and $15 back to the Waikiki area. Pictures you get to take up there are awesome with the ocean in one view, the crater in another, and Honolulu in one more. Quick, easy, and inexpensive

It is haaard work getting to the top but you'll be proud of yourself when you get there and the view is magnificent. It is hot so bring lots of water and good, comfy tennis shoes - no flip flops. Suncreen is essential and a hat is nice. Watch your step;, the path is bumpy. The stairs are pretty steep and there isn't much room to slide by ...

The scenery is awesome. Kinda a tough hike,but well worth it. Its fun and you get to see a view that otherwise you wouldnt ever get to see of the island. A must do!

Hiking up Diamond Head is a must do for visitors to Oahu because its inexpensive ($5 per car) and the view of Waikiki below is amazing. We got some excellent pictures. One word of caution - its very hot there and it doesnt rain alot on that area of Oahu, so take lots of water and go in the early AM. Those 200 plus stairs are a killer but worth it. ...

I have been to a lot of placess in a lot of different countries, but Honolulu, Hawaii is the number one place for romantic vacations. Ihe weather is perfect year round, the people are friendly, and the island is so beautiful. I have been there numerous times. I was stationed there in 1966, and since then, I have brought my wife there. She loves it, also. I just can't say enough about Honolulu. I could live there. I love the music, too.

my husband and I loved the hike it was misty on the day we hiked so we had our umbrella. It was so much fun hiking and going thru stairways and sometimes doing a little crawling but that was the hole excitement.
We will always remember the fun we had and WOW what a view once you get to the top it is so beautiful.
