All Reviews for Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tours

I'm glad I participated in this tour! First of all, our driver and guide, Jonah, was an excellent driver. We spent about 11 hours together, and I felt completely at ease! The time allocated for hiking Diamond Head was generous, and we were taken to a food truck where we could buy Leonard's malasadas without any wait, which was perfect for a snack after the hike!

We toured the beautiful beaches of Oahu, and for lunch, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. There were so many stores and food trucks that it was hard to choose. There was even a beer specialty shop, which was enjoyable. We also got to explore Haleiwa, and since there were kids experiencing Hawaii for the first time, I was glad I booked this tour.

Jonah, who is fluent in Japanese, shared various stories during our travels, which helped us learn more about Hawaii. He also kindly took photos for us every time we got out of the vehicle. I'm grateful for that! The small group size made it comfortable as well.

このツアーに参加して良かったです！
まずドライバーandガイドのジョナさんの運転が本当に上手で約11時間一緒に過ごしましたが、安心感が半端なかったです！
ダイヤモンドヘッドの登山も余裕ある時間配分、レナーズのマラサダもフードトラックで待ち時間なく買える場所に案内してもらえ登山後の小腹満たしも出来ました！
オアフ島のきれいなビーチをめぐり、ランチはカフクシュガーミルで。店舗もフードトラックも沢山あり選ぶのに迷いました。ビール専門店もあり、楽しめました。
ハレイワも探索でき、ハワイが初めての子がいたのでこのツアーを申し込みましたが正解でした。
日本語が堪能なジョナさんが移動中も含め、色々な話をしてくれたのでハワイのことを知れました。また、写真も下車の都度、ジョナさんから声をかけてくれて撮ってくれました。感謝！少人数のツアーなので気兼ねない点も良かったです。

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

It was a bus that went to the Ala Moana Shopping Center from various hotels, and it turned out to be a bit of a sightseeing tour as well. Since it was a bus that you could ride if you had a JCB card, I would have preferred a different bus.

いろんなホテルによってアラモアナショッピングセンターに行くバスでしたが、ちょっとした観光にもなりました♪。ＪＣＢカードを持っていれば乗れたバスでしたので違うバスが良かったです。

It was my first time going to Hawaii, so I joined a tour! Thanks to a guide who was fluent in Japanese, I was able to enjoy everything from the classic spots to the more niche ones!

ハワイに行くのは初めてだったので、ツアーに参加しました！王道なところからマニアックなところまで、日本語が上手なガイドさんのおかげで楽しむことができました！

The Pink Line one-day pass allows you to ride on the specified date plus the day before or the day after when you exchange it. (You also receive two tickets.) For long distances, I think it's better to use a taxi for a better balance of time and cost, but if you're just going to Ala Moana Shopping Center, the Pink Line is sufficient.

ピンクライン一日券は、引き換えの時に指定日＋指定日の前日か翌日に乗れます。
（乗車券も２枚くれます）遠距離はタクシー使った方が時間とコストのバランスが良いと思うしアラモアナショッピングセンターいく位ならピンクラインで十分かと

The view from the top of Diamond Head early in the morning was amazing. The pickup time was almost accurate, so I was able to participate without any worries.

朝早くから見るダイヤモンドヘッド頂上からの景色は最高でした。迎え時間もほぼ正確で､不安なく参加できました。

We climbed Diamond Head and toured around the island, efficiently managing our time and highlighting key points, including camera spots for support. Thanks to this, we were able to explore places like markets, beaches, and coffee farms in depth. I recommend taking a stroll in Haleiwa Town, where you can experience the charm of old Hawaii and enjoy shopping and gourmet food. Even with such a packed day, we weren't tired because we had a car. Personally, I enjoyed lunch at the food court where food trucks gathered. Our guide, J, was friendly and well-connected, which made us feel at ease.

It was a pretty easy, well maintained. Interesting factoids.

On my first trip to Oahu, I made a light reservation to see the major tourist spots listed in the travel information, but it turned into a memorable tour of a lifetime thanks to our tour guide, Jonah, who took us to places I had never seen or heard of before.

Along the way, he provided explanations about upscale neighborhoods, beaches, buildings, and facilities. At the Kahuku Sugar Mill, he introduced us to delicious eateries and clean restrooms, and at the North Shore Marketplace, he highlighted famous stores.

Additionally, he made stops at photo spots not included in the tour schedule, introduced us to them, and took photos. He even stopped the car so we could see seals and sea turtles, always making an effort to keep us entertained. At the coffee factory, he even brought samples for us to taste.

初めてのオアフ島で、観光情報に載っているメジャーな場所を見ておこうと軽い気持ちで予約しましたが、初めての見聞きした場所までツアーガイドのジョナさんが連れて行ってくれて、一生の思い出に残る周遊ツアーとなりました。

道中、高級住宅街やビーチ、建物、施設等の説明をしてくれたり、カフクシュガーミルでは美味しい店や綺麗なトイレの紹介、ノースショアマーケットプレイスでは有名な店舗の紹介までしてくれました。

また、ツアースケジュールに含まれていないフォトスポットでの停車・紹介・写真撮影や、アザラシやウミガメを見るために車を停めて見に連れていってくれたり、常に楽しませてくれようと努力してくれました。コーヒー工場では試飲まで持参してくれました。

If you don't participate in the tour and adjust your schedule to the bus times, you can also visit the Diamond Bed, and at the photo spots, the staff will assist you with taking pictures.

ツアーに参加せず、バスの時刻に合わせて行動すればダイアモンドベッドにも行けるし、写真スポットの場所では、スタッフさんによって写真撮影を手伝ってくださります。

I participated with my daughter from early morning. We had a private tour and were taken to a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, where we were able to take a lot of photos. Thank you, Jonah!

ジョナさん　ありがとうございました‼️

It was just a transportation contract, so there wasn't much to it. Perhaps due to the busy season and the shuttle service, there were some delays. While it seemed that others weren't giving tips, when I gave one, they were very pleased.

送迎だけの契約でしたので特に何もありません。
繁忙期でピストン運行だったからか遅れがちでした。
他の方々はチップを渡している気配なかったところ、お渡ししたら
大層喜んでいただきました。

Matthew went above and beyond to make our experience memorable! Definitely bring lots of water and good hiking shoes as the falls can be a bit muddy. The driver provided water, hiking sticks, and bug spray which is a must. Great experience

The driver spoke English and was very kind! No need to worry if you can't speak English! The view from the top is amazing!

英語のドライバーさんでしたがとっても優しかったです！英語が喋れなくても心配ありません！
頂上からの景色も最高です！

The bus company staff were near the bus stop, and it was easy to identify them because they were wearing yellow aloha shirts. It was convenient to be dropped off right in front of the hotel.

バス会社の人はバス停のそばにおられ、黄色のアロハだったのでわかりやすかったです。
ホテルの目の前で降ろしてもらえたので楽でした。

The guide was fluent in Japanese and made some great jokes, which was a wonderful start! It was a tour that took us to places we wouldn't have been able to go on our own. The guide provided detailed information about each location's features and recommended shops, and after giving us a thorough tour from the car, they dropped us off, making it very convenient. I was really happy to see turtles in a place that wasn't even on the tour route. I would love to join again if I have the chance. Thank you very much!

ガイドさんは、日本語ペラペラでギャグかましてくれたり良い始まりでした！自分達ではなかなかでは行けないところに連れて行ってくれるツアーでした。それぞれの特徴やそこでのお勧めのお店なども詳しく、車に乗ったまま一通り案内してくれた後降ろしてくれたので、回りやすくて大変助かりました。ツアーコースには入っていない？所で亀を見せてくれてすごく嬉しかったです。またチャンスがあれば参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

A group of three close friends for 40 years. We had always wanted to visit Hawaii together, and this year, we celebrated our 60th birthdays and made that dream come true! We were moved by the beauty of Waikiki from the summit of Diamond Head. The journey to the top was not as tough as we expected, and even after turning 60, we were able to enjoy the scenery while climbing.

４０年来の仲良し３人組。
いつかは３人で行ってみたいと思っていたハワイ、今年還暦を迎え夢を実現させました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド山頂から見るワイキキの美しさに感動しました。
山頂までの道のりは思ったよりもキツくなく、還暦過ぎでも景色を楽しみながら登ることができました。

Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.

The parasailing was included for free. We went around Waikiki and headed to Ala Moana Shopping Center. From the second-floor seats, it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at the beach and the canals. The friendly and lively talk from the driver was also enjoyable. Mahalo!

パラセーリングのOPに無料でついてきました
ワイキキを1周しながらアラモアナショッピングセンターへ　2階席から心地良い風にあたりながらビーチや運河を眺められて最高でした

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

It was amazing! There are so many shops I want to visit in Haleiwa Town, and I think it would be even better if we had a bit more free time!

最高でした！ハレイワタウンで寄りたいお店がたくさんあり、自由時間がもう少し長いとさらに良いと思います！

I signed up with my grandparents in their 70s. One great point was that the admission fee for Diamond Head was included. It took about 20 minutes to get from the hotel to the Diamond Head parking lot, and it took about an hour to hike up and around 30 minutes to come back down, giving us plenty of time to look at souvenirs. We also enjoyed the driver explaining the sightseeing spots during the ride!

70代の祖父母と申し込みました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料込みなのも良い点でした。ホテルからダイヤモンドヘッドの駐車場まで20分程度で到着し、行きは1時間程度、帰りは30分程度で下山することができ、お土産を見る時間も十分ありました。
車中では、ドライバーの方が観光スポットの説明をしてくれたのも楽しめました！

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

The Viking was a bit tiring, but it was worth the climb! The view was spectacular. The guide was also very kind. I'm glad I participated.

バイキングは少し疲れましたが
登る価値あり！
絶景です。
ガイドさんもとても親切でした。
参加して良かったです。

The warm malasadas absolutely hit the spot after the intense climb!

This tour was the perfect way to start the day in Oahu. Getting picked up early was great to get to reach Diamond Head in time for sunrise views, absolutely worth the early wake-up.

You can efficiently spend your day starting with the sunrise at Diamond Head. Also, the view of Honolulu from Diamond Head is amazing. If you're in Honolulu, be sure to participate!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの朝日から効率よく１日が過ごせます。
また、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見るホノルルは最高です。ホノルルに来たのなら是非参加してください

I'm a little worried if I can make it to the top when looking up from below.
On the well-maintained hiking trail, I arrived at the summit before I knew it.
The weather was perfect, and the view was amazing.

下から見上げるとあの上までたどり着けるかちょっと心配
整備された登山道で、あれよあれやで頂上に到着
天気も最高、見渡す風景も最高でした
