If you are in for some hiking, then you should try to conquer Diamond Head. Diamond Head is one of the famous landmarks in Oahu. At 760 ft. high, it offers a picturesque view of the Pacific Ocean and Waikiki beach from the top. Diamond Head is of volcanic origin, estimated to be about 150,000 years old, and extinct for more than 100,000 years. The hike is around 1.5- 2 hours (two-way). Prepare to pass through a tunnel, ascend in steep 99-steps, climb the spiral staircase, and voila- The perfect postcard of your life!
Entrance fee is $5 per car, but on a regular day, parking can be difficult. If you park outside, it's $1 per person. Refreshments, including shave ice are sold inside.
