All Reviews for Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tours

The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪

運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るなら絶対早朝をおすすめします。
とても綺麗なサンライズを見ることができました♪

Anyone can climb it. However, to climb Diamond Head, prior application is required, so it might be easier to join a tour like this. If you can apply in advance by yourself, it would be cheaper to get to the trailhead by bus or Uber.

誰でも登れます。但し、ダイヤモンドヘッドを登るには、事前申請が必要なので、このようなツアーで参加するのが楽かも知れません。自分自身で事前申請ができるのであれば、登山口まで、バスやウーバーで行った方が安いでしょう。

I applied with my husband and grandchild. The pickup was about 10 minutes late. I was moved by the wonderful experience and returned home feeling touched. January is the rainy season, and it rained a lot, but it seems we were able to see the sunrise, which was great! It was a bit pricey, but the transportation service was the right choice. 👍

主人と孫と申し込み。ピックアップは10分ほど遅れました。
良い体験ができたと感動して帰ってしました。
1月は雨季で雨ばかりだったけど日の出も見れたらしく良かった!
少し割高になるけど、送迎で正解👍

The pickup and reservation process was very helpful. Since there was plenty of time until the meeting point for the descent, I was able to climb Diamond Head at my own pace and take lots of photos. On the way back, the route was to the hotel, but when I mentioned that I wanted to go to the KCC Market instead of the hotel, they kindly took me to the KCC Market and dropped me off there. The driver was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time.

お迎えや予約の手続きも助かりました。
下山の集合までたっぷり時間があったのでダイアモンドヘッドに自分のペースで登ることもでき、たくさん写真も撮ることができました。帰りはホテルまでのコースでしたが、ホテルではなくKCCマーケットへ行きたいと伝えたら、快くKCCマーケットまで送ってくれてそこで下車しました。
ドライバーさんも明るくてとても楽しい時間でした。

The driver spoke English, so there was still a language barrier. Although there were no issues with getting on and off during the transfer, I couldn't get any water and ended up having to buy expensive water on-site. Diamond Head was wonderful.

運転手さんが英語なので、やはり言葉が通じない。送迎の乗り降りは、通じなくても、問題はなかったが、水がもらえず、現地で高い水を買うことになった。
ダイアモンドヘッドは、すばらしかった。

The transportation included the entrance fee. The area was rich in nature with clean air, and above all, the weather was nice, providing a wonderful view. The ascent was a bit tough, but there were rest areas along the way, which was great! The descent was so pleasant that I was told I had a refreshing look on my face! Haha. I want to go again.

入場料込みの送迎でした。現地では自然豊かで空気が綺麗で、何より天気良くて素敵な景色でした。上りは少しきつかったですが、途中休憩スペースもあり良かったです！
下りは清々しい顔してると言われるほど気持ちよく降りられました！笑
また行きたいです。

There is never anyone at the ticket booth, no matter when I go. When I asked the person at the neighboring booth, they said, "They're at the umbrella sales area outside." I would like to see improvements, such as putting up a sign with a map that says, "I'm here (at the umbrella area)" when no one is at the booth.

In the morning, it was quite crowded, and during the mid to late part of the day, many people were unable to board. Due to this and the traffic along the way, the bus from Ala Moana did not arrive for over 30 minutes, causing a huge line to form. Almost five buses arrived in a row once they started coming.

Well, I guess it can't be helped!

いつ行ってもチケット売り場に係員が居ない
隣のブースの人に聞いたら、「外のパラソルの売り場にいる」とのこと
売り場にいない時は、「ここ(パラソル)に居ます」と書いた地図付きの看板を
出すなど、改善して欲しい

朝はかなりの混み方で、中盤以降の乗り場では、乗り切れない人が多発していた
その影響や途中の渋滞のためか、アラモアナからの帰路は30分以上バスが来ず、
大行列が発生
バスが来始めた５台近く連続して到着

まあ仕方ないか！！

This is a plan that provides round-trip transportation from hotels in the Honolulu area to the trailhead at Diamond Head Park. I don't usually exercise, but I found that one hour each way, or two hours round trip, is more than enough. You can also enjoy views of the streets of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, so I highly recommend experiencing it at least once. Our guide, Orlando, was kind and attentive, making the experience very enjoyable.

ホノルル界隈のホテルからダイアモンドヘッド公園にある登山口までを往復で送迎してくれるプランです。
日頃運動をしない私ですが、片道で1時間あれ、往復で2時間あれば充分です。
ホノルルの街並みやパールハーバーなども見渡せるので、一度は経験させることをお薦めします。
ガイドのオランドさんも優しく気配りのできた方で、非常に楽しかったです。

Kilauea was hard to see due to the rain, but I was satisfied with everything else. The video of the eruption that I got from the guide was really great. I was especially happy to see the stars at night.

キラウエアは雨のためよく見えませんでしたが、それ以外は満足です。
ガイドさんからもらった噴火してる時の動画はめっちゃ良かったです
夜も星が見られて何よりです

I was able to experience both the sea and the mountains in a compact way. The two guides were kind, and I was able to ask various questions since they were Japanese. It was meaningful to enjoy so much in just the morning.

海む山もコンパクトに体験できました。ガイドのお二人も親切ですし日本の方で色々質問できました。午前のみでここまで堪能でき有意義でした。

It was early in the morning and the outside was completely dark, so I felt quite anxious about interacting with the locals. However, once it was over, it turned out to be a very smooth tour. The driver was really friendly and cheerful, and he provided appropriate advice while mixing in some jokes, which was a great help. When we reached the summit, it started to rain heavily, and we ended up soaking wet on the way down. However, the view from the top was amazing, and that moment when I could see the entire cityscape of Waikiki was truly moving.

朝早い時間で外は真っ暗で、現地の方とのやりとりということでかなり不安はありましたが、終わってみれば非常にスムーズなツアーでした。ドライバーの方は本当に気さくで明るい方で、冗談も交えながら適切なアドバイスもしてくださって大変助かりました。私達が頂上に到達した時に丁度かなりの雨が降ってきてしまい、帰り道はびしょ濡れになりながらの下山でした。ですが、頂上から見た景色は素晴らしく、ワイキキの街並みを一望できたあの瞬間は感動しました。

There were sudden places and stairs, and I was worried if my husband, who is well-built, would be able to climb, but we were able to reach the summit in about 40 minutes. I definitely want you to experience the wonderful view. The driver was cheerful and it was fun. I made a reservation for 8:20, but the day before, I was contacted and asked to change the meeting time to 7:20.

急な場所や階段もあり、体格の良い夫は登れるか心配でしたが40分ほどで頂上まで行く事ができました。ぜひとも素晴らしい景色を体験して欲しいです。ドライバーさんが陽気で楽しかったです。8:20で予約しましたが前日になり7:20集合にして欲しいと連絡がありました。

I reserved a one-day ticket for December 3rd in Japan, and when I went to pick up the exchange voucher around noon on November 30th, it turned out to be a one-day ticket for that day. Even though I said it was for December 3rd, they couldn't understand me in Japanese, and I could only ride twice in the afternoon despite having a one-day ticket. It was the worst.

日本で12/3の指定で1日券を予約し
11/30昼頃に引き換え券をもらいに行ったら
その日の1日券になっていて、いくら12/3と言っても日本語が通じなく
せっかく1日券だったのに昼から2回しか乗れなかった。
最悪でした

Unexpectedly, there were rocks everywhere. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time reaching the summit. I'm just tired. The view was amazing, and the breeze felt nice.

意外に岩がゴロゴロしていました。
ハワイは何回も来ていましたが、初めて登頂。疲れたの一言です。景色が素晴らしく、風が気持ち良かった。

I chose this tour especially because it didn't include malasadas or acai. Since watching the sunrise wasn't the goal, the pickup and end times were just right. You can easily get malasadas and acai by going to the shops yourself, so I recommend this tour.

特にマラサダやアサイーが付いていないこのツアーを選びました。
日の出も目的ではなかったのでちょうどいい時間でのお迎えと終了時間でした。
マラサダもアサイーも自分でお店に行けば簡単に食べれるのでこのツアーはオススメです。

We were picked up in front of the hotel at 5:30 AM and headed to Diamond Head. The Japanese guide was cheerful, kind, and absolutely wonderful! We had an amazing time enjoying the best sights of Oahu.

朝5時半にホテル前でピックアップしてもらってダイヤモンドヘッドへ。日本語ガイドさんが陽気で親切で最高によかった！オアフ島のいいとこどり観光でめちゃくちゃ満喫出来ました。

The hike itself is a quick 1.6 miles round trip and felt nice and quick!

Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.

The early start was absolutely worth it. The shuttle was on time, the guide was friendly, and we reached the trail before the crowds.

Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!

It's an early morning plan, but it's very helpful that they come to pick you up in front of the hotel. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing! They also stop by Leonard's, which I highly recommend because the malasadas are incredibly delicious. All the beaches were beautiful and very soothing. Our guide, Jonathan, took photos for us as well. He was very attentive, always providing a footrest when getting in and out of the car. The conversation was enjoyable, and I ended up chatting with him like a friend. He mentioned that he handles this plan every day, so I think those who participate in the future can feel reassured.

For lunch, you can choose whatever you like, and I had Giovanni's garlic shrimp, which was absolutely delicious. I was very satisfied with the nuts and coffee I was able to buy as souvenirs. They also drop you off back at the hotel. This plan does not include tips, so I gave him a tip at the end before saying goodbye.

This time, I participated with my child. It was a fun day with efficient sightseeing. Thank you very much! Mahalo!

朝早いプランですが、ホテル前にお迎えにきてくれるのでとても助かります
ダイヤモンドヘッドからのサンライズは最高でした♪レナーズにも寄ってくれます。マラサダとっても美味しいのでオススメです
どのビーチもとてもキレイで癒されました
ガイドのジョナサンが写真も撮ってくれます。
車の乗り降り時は足置き台を毎回出してくれ、とても丁寧でした。
お話も楽しいのでこちらもつい友達のように話してしまいました。毎日このプランを担当していると言っていたので、これから参加される方は安心だとおもいます。
お昼は好きなものを選んでたべれますが、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを食べました。最高に美味しかったです
お土産のナッツもコーヒーも購入できて大満足でした
帰りもホテル前まで送ってもらえます
こちらはチップ込みのプランではないので、最後にチップを渡してお別れしました
今回は親子2人で参加しました。
効率よく観光できて楽しい一日でした
ありがとうございました！
マハロ！

It was convenient since it is now reservation-based. I had just enough time to go hiking. The guide was also English-speaking and provided sightseeing information throughout the drive.

現在、予約制になっているので楽でした。
時間も余裕が少しあるくらいで登山できました。ガイドさんも英語でしたが、運転中もずっと観光案内してくれました。

This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.

This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.

Our guide, Jonah, was amazing. The food truck lunch included "garlic shrimp without shells" and "the restrooms here are clean." In Haleiwa, we learned that "shave ice is famous," and while driving, he pointed out, "Look, you can see a rainbow on the left." He also took many photos at beautiful spots, suggesting we take pictures here and there. It was a fulfilling day from early morning, and I really enjoyed it. By chance, I met Jonah again the next day when he came to the hotel to drop off some guests, and he wished me to "have fun today since it's Halloween." It turned out to be a wonderful trip. Thank you very much!

ガイドのジョナさん　凄く良かったです
フードトラックの昼食は「ここは殻なしのガーリックシュリンプ」だとか「トイレはここが綺麗」だとか　ハレイワでは「かき氷が有名」とか　運転中も「左　虹が見えます」とか‥その他本当に色々　写真もここで撮りましょうと素敵なポイントで何枚も撮っていただき　早朝から充実した1日で楽しませていただきました　たまたま次の日お客さん送ってホテルに来たジョナさんと会って「今日はハロウィンなので楽しんで」と声かけていただいたり　とっても良い旅になりました
ありがとうございました

Our driver spoke English, and everyone around us spoke English too. We were anxious since we couldn't speak English, but it all worked out somehow. We enjoyed the transportation as well.

英語のドライバーさんで、周りの方達も英語で、英語が話せない私達は不安でしたが、何とかなるものです
送迎も含めて楽しめました

I thought waking up early would be tough, but the sunrise from Diamond Head is worth the early wake-up! They also handle reservations, which makes it easy. They teach you about the area while driving around. They took us to a great place for the popular malasada donuts, so we didn't have to wait and could eat them right away! They also recommend good lunch spots and share which ones are not so great (laughs). I had the rare experience of cracking and eating nuts myself. There was also time for shopping, and it was a fun tour packed with activities!

早起きが大変かなと思いましたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見る朝日は早起きの価値あります！予約もやって下さってるので楽ちんです。
車でこの辺はこんなところだよとかいろいろ教えてくれます。
人気のマラサダドーナツも並ばなくて良いところに案内してくれてすぐ食べられました！
お昼ご飯もオススメのお店とこれはイマイチ、、みたいなことも教えてくれます(笑)
ナッツの殻を自分で割って食べるという貴重な体験もしました。
買い物する時間もありますし、盛りだくさんのツアーで楽しかったです！

From Diamond Head in the morning to the North Shore, it was packed with activities, and Jonah's attentiveness was top-notch. You can fully enjoy Hawaii with so much to do. I absolutely recommend it. My friend was able to get the Diamond Head version of the sunburned kitty, and we had a wonderfully satisfying day.

朝のダイヤモンドヘッドから、ノースまで、とにかく目白押しで、ジョナさんの気配りも最高でした。
盛り沢山でハワイを満喫できます。
絶対、おすすめです。
友だちが日焼けキティのダイヤモンドヘッド版をゲットできて、大満足の1日が過ごせました。

Although I go to the gym, climbing the mountain was quite tough for someone in their 60s. I thought to myself, "This might be my last experience in life?" as I climbed. At the summit, I was able to see the hotel district and the distant sea, making all the sweat and effort worthwhile. It really made me realize that the Earth is round!

They handled the application process for climbing, which you can't do without prior approval, and the entrance fee was included! They also provided water, so all I had to do was show up in sneakers and light workout clothes! There was also a shuttle service to the hotel.

Considering that I would have to check the bus schedule, take the bus, and handle the application myself, I think this was quite a good deal.

ジムに通っているとはいえ、60代のこの身には結構厳しい山登りでした。人生でこれが最後の体験かも？と思いながら登りました。頂上ではホテル街や遠い海原までも一望でき、汗水流して登った甲斐がありました。地球って丸いんだな！って認識できます。
事前申請しないと登れないところを代行してもらえるし、入山料？も込み！　そしてお水も用意してくださり、こちらはスニーカーと軽い運動できる服装で行くだけ！ホテルへの送迎もついていました。
これをバス時間を調べてバスに乗って、事前の申請もして、と考えるとお安いのではないかと思います。

The driver was very kind. Climbing the mountain might be tough, but the beautiful scenery made it very satisfying.

ドライバーの方は、とても親切な方でした。山を登るのは、大変かもしれませんが、綺麗な景色が見られて大満足です。
