Diamond Head Sunrise Hiking Tour with Breakfast - Blue Lei Hawaii Deluxe Shuttle

Fantastic Tour

Reviewed by: Yvonne, 2024/04/24

My daughter and I had a great time climbing Diamond Head. We could go at our own pace which was awesome.
My daughter also left her hat on the van and they got back to me super quick when I emailed them and we just picked it up from their office. Fantastic customer service.
Highly recommend this tour.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Great day trip

Reviewed by: Rachel J, 2024/04/11

My son and I had a great time. Stephanie did very well! My son (12 yo) asked me how she could remember so much stuff. Really enjoyed the mix of activities as someone who doesn't like driving while traveling and very little of the island is accessible via public transportation.

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Diamond head hike

Reviewed by: Rose family, 2024/03/30

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

  • Park sign

  • Scenery along the way;

  • At the top

Hawaiian Beauty Hiking Shuttle: Diamond Head & Manoa Falls Jurassic Rainforest

Great day long excursion

Reviewed by: Cardsmab, 2024/02/04

We had great weather for the day. Diamond Head was a reasonably short hike with an amazing view of the island. Manoa falls was a nice hike through the jungle…was expecting a little more with the falls themselves. Overall great experience though.

Really good

Reviewed by: Bryant, 2024/01/21

We had 2 different drivers, one for DH and one for the waterfall. Both were excellent. They had waters for the end of the trip, and the waterfall driver had bug spray and walking sticks for everyone who needed them. They were both knowledgeable about the trails and gave great tips. Excellent!!

Hawaiian Beauty Hiking Shuttle: Diamond Head & Manoa Falls Jurassic Rainforest

Hiking combo

Reviewed by: Shenelle, 2023/10/28

Both hikes to Diamond head and Manual falls were very good. Diamond head was more strenuous than Manoa falls. I challenged myself by taking the hardest route. Both tours offered water though the one at Diamond head was warm. Walking sticks were offered at Manoa falls which was helpful though I didn't use it. Due to a dry season, there was no falls; completely bone dry which was disappointing. Both drivers were on time, friendly, and informative. Overall, it was a really good self-guided hike and I would do it again but hopefully when the falls are actually flowing.

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

So many people hard to enjoy.

Reviewed by: Piper, 2023/10/12

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.

This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: E Jones, 2023/07/03

Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!

We had the best time. Loved everything about it. Our tour guy Jonah was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took our time since we were a smaller group. The diamond head hike was a bit harder than we thought with the baby but we took our time and made it up there. What a beautiful view!! It was worth it!!! Do not regret anything about this tour! It was amazing!!! The dole whip ice cream was amazing. The Lenard’s malasada was amazing too. Saw a few turtles and the food trucks was so delicious. We really enjoyed our time on this tour and we totally recommend to do this tour if you’re ever in Oahu Hawaii!!!

Safe but boring

Reviewed by: Paula Cradduck , 2023/01/11

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you

Hello Paula,

Thank you for your review. We wish you could have a more enjoyable time with John on our tour. We will work with John to make our tour a bit more interesting but agree with you that he is a nice guy.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

good overview of the island

Reviewed by: J.L., 2022/12/12

Our tour guide was very accomodating and had lots of helpful hints.

Have breakfast before starting, because the Diamond Head hike isn't a leisurely stroll in the park... you're going uphill a long way and it'll make you sweat!
Bringing a flashlight would be a good idea, because the majority of the hike is on an unpaved and and sometimes uneven path. Which can be a problem for a pre-dawn hike.
We didn't exactly get to see the sun rise per se. We arrived at the top in plenty of time, there were some clouds on the horizon.
Go inside the bunker, all the way to the back, to access the spiral interior staircase to complete the pathway loop. Seems like a lot of people aren't aware that they need to go into the bunker to do that.

I'd recommend having at least $30 per person in cold hard cash on hand, to pay for lunch etc.

If you don't wear sneakers, you could have a little trouble walking over seaside areas with sharp lava rock...

Comments from activity operators

Hello J.L,

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a had a good time with John. The weather in December is really like our rainy season so it has been very cloudy recently in the early mornings. Sneakers are definitely recommended especially for the hiking part. But we are glad you had a good time on the tour and we hope you enjoyed your entire stay in Hawaii.
