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.

On the day of the tour, although we were unable to visit Manoa Falls due to local circumstances, the tour company took us to Waimea Canyon as an alternative, which turned out to be a fun experience in a different way! The tour guide was very cheerful and fluent in Japanese, making it a great optional tour. Thank you very much!
当日は現地の都合でマノアの滝は入場不可だったものの、ツアー会社の代案でワイメア渓谷に連れていって頂き違う意味で楽しい体験が出来ました!ツアーガイドさんも超明るくて日本語も堪能できて良いオプショナルツアーとなりました。ありがとうございましたm(__)m
マノアはよく分かりませんが、ワイメアは雨の確率が高いとおもうのでポンチョと濡れても良い服装、靴、また水着の人も多かったです。自然に触れる良い機会とおもいますので是非参加してみて下さい!
Thank you very much for participating in "Nature and You: Manoa."
We sincerely apologize for not being able to guide you to Manoa Falls due to fallen trees on the hiking trail caused by the rain the day before. Although it was a sudden course closure, we acknowledge the lack of prior checks and will address this as a future challenge.
Despite the circumstances, we are encouraged by your kind words and warm review, stating that you enjoyed the alternative tour. Our entire staff appreciates it greatly.
Thank you also for your advice regarding what to bring and wear. We will certainly use it as a reference for future guests.
When you next visit Hawaii, please consider hiking to Manoa Falls again. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

They came to pick me up earlier than scheduled. After signing some documents, we moved to a few other pickup locations and then headed to Diamond Head. Once everyone gathered, the guide started. I only understood about half of what was said, but it seemed like most of it was jokes. Everyone except me seemed to be native English speakers. However, it was no problem at all if you couldn't speak. The entrance fee and reservation for Diamond Head were handled by Veltra, so you can get in without doing anything. I was dropped off at the entrance of Diamond Head around 8:40, received a bottle of water, and was told to be back by 10:30.
The hike to Diamond Head takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. There are many bumpy areas and stairs, so I recommend wearing sneakers. It can be quite windy and relatively cold at the top, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.
After coming down, I relaxed on a bench and looked at souvenirs. I was a bit anxious when the return pickup didn't arrive on time, but I thought, "This is America, so it’s probably normal." You also receive water on the way back, which you can decline if you don't want it. The drop-off location can be either the pickup spot or your hotel if it's nearby.
I gave a $10 bill as a tip, which seemed to be the average amount based on what I saw from other participants. I joined as a solo male traveler, but I wasn't singled out or anything; it was a straightforward and nice tour. If you can understand some English, this option is cheaper than a Japanese guide with tips included, so I think it's sufficient. For those who can use Lealea, it's easy to go that way. If you take The Bus, you get dropped off in front of the tunnel, so there's quite a bit of walking, but it's cheaper.
予定の時間よりも早く迎えに来てくれました。書類にサインして、他のピックアップ場所へ何箇所か移動して、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ。全員集合すると、ガイドが始まります。半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが、ジョークが大半だったような気がします。私以外は英語ネイティブっぽかったです。でも喋れなくても全く問題なしです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料や予約はベルトラがしてくれますので、何もしなくても入れます。8:40くらいにダイヤモンドヘッドの入り口で降ろされて、お水渡されて、帰りは10:30にココ!と言われました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドへのハイキングは片道だいたい30〜40分くらい。ガタガタのところや階段も多いので、スニーカーをおすすめします。上の方は風がとても強くて、割と寒いので、薄い上着あるといいかもしれないです。
降りてきてからは、ベンチに座ってのんびりしたり、お土産みたりしていました。
帰りは時間通りに迎えが来ず、少し不安でしたが、アメリカなのでそんなもんだろうと。
帰りも水を渡されます。要らなければ断れます。降ろす場所はピックアップ場所か、泊まってるホテルが近ければ送ってくれます。
チップは余っていた10ドル札を渡しました。他の参加者を見ててもそのくらいが平均かなと思います。
男1人で参加でしたが、特にいじられることもなく、さっぱりしていて、いいツアーだと思いました。
多少英語が聞き取れれば、日本語ガイドチップ入りよりも安いので、こちらで十分だと思います。
レアレア利用できる人はそれで行くのが楽です。ザ・バスで行くと、トンネルの前で降りるので割と歩きますが、安いです。
As long as you keep time and follow instructions, there won't be any problems.
時間を守って、あとは言われるがまま動けば何も問題ないです。

The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!

I participated in the event in Hawaii for four days, and unfortunately, it was raining heavily that day, so I thought it might be canceled. However, by the time we were supposed to start, the rain had stopped, which was great. But during the trail, it started raining again, and I had to wear a raincoat to climb.
I'm not good at climbing, so I walked slowly, and I felt both grateful and sorry that everyone was waiting for me. However, I managed to reach the summit, and it was very fulfilling. I think it's more enjoyable to climb with a guide who explains various things along the way rather than just climbing.
On the way back down, I think having a walking stick would make it safer. For lunch, we were provided with very delicious sandwiches, and we also got to visit Tantalus, which is not easy to access on your own. It was a very fulfilling half-day. Thank you very much.
ハワイ4日に参加したのですが、運悪くその日は雨が凄く降っていてもう中止になるかと思いきや、参加の時間頃には雨も止み良かったと思いましたが、トレイル中にまた雨が降ってきてレインコートを来て登りました。
私は登りが苦手なのでゆっくり歩いていましたが皆さん待っていてくれてありがたいのと申し訳ないでいっぱいでしたが、何とか頂上まで登りきることが出来てとても達成感がありました。ただ登るより色んなことを説明してもらいながらガイドさんと登るほうが楽しいと思います。
帰りは坂の下りなのでステッキがあったほうが危なくないと思います。
ランチはとても美味しいサンドイッチを用意してもらい中々自分では行けないタンタラスの丘にも行けてとても充実した半日でした。
ありがとうございました。
I think rain gear will be very necessary for this tour. While sunny weather is preferable, the amount of water in the waterfalls during rain was impressive and looked fantastic.

Last March, I was able to see the sunrise from the summit. This year, I climbed to the summit around 8:30 AM on April 17, but isn't it impossible to see the sunrise from the summit in April? The gate opens at 6 AM, and the sunrise on April 17 should be around 6:10 AM, but it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the summit, so wouldn't it be a sunrise seen from partway up?
昨年3月に山頂から日の出を見ることが出来ました。本年は、4月17日に山頂へは8時30分ごろに登りましたが、4月は山頂から日の出が見るのは無理なのではないですか?ゲートが6時に開門して4月17日の日の出は6時10分ごろのはずですが、10分で山頂までは行けないので、途中からの日の出になるのではないですか?
Thank you for your reservation through our company. It sounds like you had a wonderful experience watching the sunrise from the summit last March.
Regarding your question, please understand that this activity is not specifically designed for sunrise viewing from the summit. However, there are many beautiful viewpoints along the way, so we hope you can enjoy new scenery that includes those spots next time.
We look forward to serving you again in the future.

One bottle of water is provided during lunch, so it's recommended to prepare your own drinking water for trekking and to wear sneakers instead of sandals.

I found a fulfilling tour that required a reservation and was difficult to access early in the morning for the Diamond Head hike, along with sightseeing on the East Coast and the North Shore, and booked it immediately.
Although I couldn't make it to the summit of Diamond Head in the early morning, I was able to see the sunrise along the way, and the view from the top was beautiful. I also visited Blowhole for the first time and coincidentally saw a whale jump. Our guide, Jonah, not only provided explanations but also took photos for us at various spots. He even took us to a place with a malasada food truck and Makapu'u Point, which wasn't on the original itinerary, making me feel like I got a great deal.
I've been to the North Shore a few times, but it was my first time at the lunch spot, Kahuku Sugar Mill, which was enjoyable. Overall, it was a packed day of hiking and sightseeing, and I highly recommend this tour. Although the time from early morning to evening was long, there were only two groups (four people total), so we were able to return to Waikiki 30 minutes early, right on schedule.
予約必要かつ早朝はアクセスしづらいダイヤモンドヘッド登山と、行ったことがない東海岸の観光、そしてノースショア。充実したツアーを見つけ、即予約しました。
早朝のダイヤモンドヘッドでは山頂には間に合いませんでしたが、途中で日の出を見ることができ、山頂でもきれいな景色が楽しめました。潮吹き岩も初めて訪れ、偶然クジラのジャンプも見られました。ガイドのジョナさんは説明はもちろん、行く先々で写真も撮って下さり、また途中予定にはないマラサダのフードトラックのある場所やマカプウ岬も寄ってくれ、得した気分になりました。ノースショアは何度か行ったことがありますが、ランチ場所のカフクシュガーミルは初めてだったので楽しかったです。とにかく1日でハイキングと観光てんこ盛りでとても充実したおすすツアーです。早朝から夕方まで時間は長いのですが、私達含めて2組(計4人)だったので、集合時間もぴったりで30分も早くワイキキに戻ることができました。
Since it's a long hiking tour starting early in the morning, I think it's best to participate in the tour in great physical condition. It's a very enjoyable tour as a result.
早朝からハイキングの長いツアーなので、体調万全でツアーに参加されるとよいと思います。その分とても楽しいツアーです。

I was a bit anxious since it was an English-speaking driver. It seemed like the meeting point was different, and even after 10 minutes, the driver hadn't arrived. When I tried to contact them, the line was busy. Just when I was starting to think they might not come, the driver called my name loudly, and I was able to get on safely. During the ride, I couldn't understand the announcements at all, and since we were the only Japanese people, I felt a bit isolated, haha. We also received two bottles of mineral water for the round trip! Since it was just a plan to climb, I didn't feel rushed and was able to fully enjoy the scenery and nature. However, I later found out that taking the bus would have been significantly cheaper, which was a good lesson learned.

However, when the weather is clear for an extended period, the water flow of the waterfalls can decrease. We are delighted that you were blessed with good weather and enjoyed a wonderful hike with your children. It’s great to hear that you also enjoyed the hiking surrounded by greenery and the picnic lunch at Tantalus after the hike!
We offer a variety of other tours, including dolphin watching & water activities and sea turtle snorkeling, so please consider joining us again on your next visit to Hawaii. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you back!
この度は、弊社のネイチャー&ユー: マノアツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございます。
マノアはハワイでも熱帯雨林地帯に位置し、雨の多いエリアですが、晴れが続くと滝の水量が少なくなってしまうこともあります。今回は天気に恵まれ、お子様と一緒に素敵なハイキングを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。緑に囲まれたハイキングと、ハイキング後のタンタラスの丘でのピクニックランチも堪能していただけたようで、何よりです!
弊社ではイルカウォッチング&ウォーターアクティビティやウミガメシュノーケリングなど、他にもさまざまなツアーをご用意しておりますので、次回ハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひご参加をご検討くださいませ。スタッフ一同、心よりお待ち申し上げております。

At the beginning of the tour, there were some irregularities due to minor troubles with transportation, but overall, I was quite satisfied with the tour!
Especially, I think I was able to enjoy the trip comfortably thanks to the excellent hospitality of the tour guide.
Regarding the content, it goes without saying that Diamond Head and Haleiwa were quite crowded...
If there are things you want to eat or buy, I think it's a good idea to do some research beforehand!
During this tour, there were no other people in our group, so although the guide mentioned the meeting times at each point, we were allowed to explore freely without worrying about time, which made it very relaxing and enjoyable!
Finally, I would like to share my impressions from climbing Diamond Head.
First of all, the earlier you go, the better. If you can enter early, you can secure the best spot at the top.
As for clothing during the climb, if it's sunny, a T-shirt and shorts might be a bit too warm. Even if it's cloudy, I think a long-sleeve shirt should be sufficient.
Now, here's a little tip regarding the climbing method towards the summit at the end of the Diamond Head hike (after passing through the tunnel). There are two paths: one is the hiking trail, and the other is a staircase (which is quite steep and has over 100 steps).
Basically, the guide recommends the easier hiking trail, which about 97% of people use, but if you are confident in your physical fitness or are younger and have no health issues, I think taking the stairs is a good option.
The reason for this is that the stairs provide a significant shortcut, and since there are usually no people on that route, you can reach the summit much faster. As a result, it becomes easier to secure a good spot at the top. If you are worried about being late or want to secure a good spot at the summit, I recommend using the stairs.
I climbed at a light jog, so it took me less than three minutes from the tunnel to the summit area. (However, I don't recommend running as it can be dangerous, but it was quite satisfying to pass by those using the hiking trail.)
Lastly, it gets quite crowded near the summit. When I went, there weren't any major issues, but there were some individuals from a certain Asian country (I'll leave it to your imagination) and an influencer (who was Japanese) behaving selfishly, which was a bit bothersome. Given the location and the crowd, I encourage everyone to maintain decorum and enjoy the sunrise together!
Even if you can't secure a spot near the summit, it will clear up after a while, so you can take plenty of photos, so don't worry! The view towards Waikiki is also spectacular, so I think it's worth capturing that as well!
ツアー序盤、送迎等で少しトラブルが起こった影響でイレギュラーな点も少しありましたが、ツアー全体としての感想は概ね満足できました!!
特にツアーガイドの方のおもてなしが良かった為、心地よく旅をできたと思います。
内容についてですが、言わずもがなダイヤモンドヘッドとハレイワの方はかなり混んでいたという印象です。。。
もし、食べたいものや買いたいものがあればリサーチしておくのがいいかと思います!
今回のツアーにおいては、同グループに他の方はおらず、自分たちだけであったため、各ポイントにおいて集合時間等をガイドさんから言われるものの、時間を気にすることなく自由に散策しても良いとのことでしたので、とても気楽に楽しむことができました!
最後にダイヤモンドヘッド登山時の所感を述べさせてもらえればと思います。
まず、早く行くに越したことはありません。早く入山することができれば頂上のベストスポットを確保できます。
登山時の服装については晴れていればTシャツ短パンでも暑いぐらいです。曇っていても長袖1枚ほどで大丈夫かと思います。
ここからは裏技ですが、ダイヤモンドヘッド登山終盤(トンネル通過後)の山頂への登山方法についてです。
そこには2つの道があり、ハイキングコースを使って山頂に行く方法と階段(かなり急でおおよそ100段以上あり)を使って登る方法があります。
基本的にガイドの方も楽なハイキングコースをお勧めされ、約97%の方がそちらを利用されますが、もし体力に自信がある方、年齢が若くて身体に問題のない方は階段から行くのが良いかと思います。
その理由に関しましては、階段の方がかなりショートカットができるということと、人が誰もいないためとても早く山頂方面に向かうことができるからです。
その結果、山頂にてかなり良いスポットを確保しやすくなります。
もし、登山に出遅れた方や山頂で良いスポットを確保されたい方がいらっしゃいましたら、階段を使われれるのがいいかと思われます。
自分は小走りぐらいで登ったため、トンネルから山頂付近まで3分もかかりませんでした。
(しかしながら、走るのは危険ですのでオススメはしませんが、ハイキングコースを利用されている方をごぼう抜きできるので、それなりの達成感はありました)
最後に山頂付近になりますとかなり混雑します。
自分が行った際には基本的に問題はなかったのですが、一部某アジア系の外国の人の方(どこの国かはご想像にお任せします)やインフルエンサー?的な方(日本人でした)が身勝手な行動をされており少し迷惑にもなっておりました。
場所も場所であり混雑もしているので、行かれる方は節度を守ってみんなで楽しくサンライズを堪能しましょう!
仮に山頂付近を確保できなくとも、少し時間が経てば山頂付近は空くようになる為、写真は十分に取れますので安心してください!
特にサンライズだけではなく、ワイキキ方面の景色も絶景ですので、そちらも撮るのがいいかと思います!
During the hike up Diamond Head, there was a flashlight rental available.
All you need is hydration, determination, and common sense!
ダイヤモンドヘッド登山時、フラッシュライトの貸し出しがありました。
必要なのは水分と気合いと常識的な心のみ!!

First, we took a tour to explore Diamond Head and the Haleiwa area!
While our exploration of Haleiwa was on our own, the Diamond Head tour was shared with other foreign guests (two groups). Therefore, after hiking at Diamond Head, we returned to Waikiki to drop off the participants who were only joining for Diamond Head. This made us feel like we took quite a detour since we were planning to head to Haleiwa afterward.
However, we were satisfied because we were taken to the places we wanted to visit.
If there are places you want to stop by or visit along the way, I think you can let the guide know, and they will take you there. Conversely, if you don’t communicate the places you want to stop at in advance, there’s a high possibility they might skip them, so it’s best to keep that in mind.
Overall, I was satisfied with the tour because they listened to our various requests, and the guide's hospitality was great!
Thank you very much!!
まず、自分たちはダイヤモンドヘッド及びハレイワ方面への散策のツアーを行いました!
ハレイワ方面への散策については自分たちのみでありましたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドのツアーは他の外国人の方(2組)と同じでした。その為、ダイヤモンドヘッドでのハイキング後、ダイヤモンドヘッドのみの参加者を送り届ける為に一度ワイキキに戻って参りました。
その為、ダイヤモンドヘッド後にハレイワ方面に向かう予定であった我々からするとかなり遠回りをされたという感じでありました。
しかしながら、希望をした場所にはきちんと連れていっていただいたので、満足できました。
もし途中で寄りたいと考えている場所や行きたい場所がある場合、ガイドの方にお伝えすれば連れて行っていただけるかなと思います。
逆に言うと、予め寄ってほしい場所等をお伝えしておかなければスルーされる可能性が高いため、その点は注意しておいた方がいいかと思われます。
ツアー全体の感想としては、色々と希望を聞いていただいたり、ガイドさんのホスピタリティも良かった為、満足しております!
ありがとうございました!!
If you are using Hilton, it is advisable to contact the tour company in advance to confirm the meeting location. (There are many pickup areas at Hilton, so there is a possibility of mismatches.)
ヒルトンから利用される方は事前に集合場所をツアー会社の方と連絡を取り合い、確認されるのがいいかと思います。(ヒルトンにはピックアップエリアが多数あるのでミスマッチが起こる可能性があります)

When I was wondering where to go on my first trip to Hawaii, I thought, "I want to see the sunrise at Diamond Head!" and found this great optional tour.
It turned out to be a fantastic choice!!!
They took care of all the reservations for Diamond Head, so there was absolutely no hassle.
It was super early in the morning, but we were able to see the sunrise and get some good exercise right from the start of the day.
Since it was a small group tour, there was only one other group besides us.
Our guide, Jonah, was incredibly helpful, and he took photos of us at various spots, allowing us to capture many wonderful memories.
Personally, I found the experience of cracking open macadamia nuts with a stone to be really interesting (Jonah taught us how to do it).
We were able to accomplish a lot with this optional tour, especially since it would have been difficult to get around efficiently without a rental car. It was so much fun!!!
初めてのハワイで、どこに行こうかな?と思った時に、ダイヤモンドヘッドで日の出見たいー!となって、いいオプショナルツアーないかな?と思った時にこちらを見つけました。
結果大正解でした!!!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの予約なども全部していただけるので、煩わしいことは一切ありませんでした。
朝めっちゃ早いですが、日の出もちゃんと見れて朝からいい運動でした。
少人数制のツアーということで、私たちの他にもう1組だけという感じでした。
ガイドのジョナさんには大変お世話になり、途中色々なスポットで写真を撮っていただき、沢山の思い出を写真におさめることが出来ました。
個人的にはマカダミアナッツを石で割って取り出す体験が面白かったです(ガイドのジョナさんに教えていただきました)
レンタカーがないと効率的に回れないところをこちらのオプショナルツアーで沢山叶えていただきました。楽しかったですー!!!
Since the mornings are early, I recommend going to bed early the night before. Definitely try cracking the macadamia nuts!
朝が早いので、前日は早く寝ることをオススメします。マカダミアナッツ是非割ってみてください!

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.
送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…
If it was just for the shuttle service, I think it would have been better to find a place that was a bit more affordable. My son and his wife only paid a $5 entrance fee, and the rest was free since t
送迎だけならもう少しお値打ちな所を
探せは良かったかなぁと思いました。
息子夫婦は5ドルの入山料のみであとはトローリーバスで来たので無料でした。

While slowly taking photos and enjoying the view of the vast ocean, I also spotted dolphins along the way. It was simply wonderful.
大海原を見ながらゆっくりと写真もとりながら、途中でイルカをも見つけました。とにかく、素晴らしかったです。
I was the only Japanese person, but there was no problem at all. It's easy to climb! I recommend it!
日本人は私1人でしたが何の問題もありません。気楽に登れます!お勧めです!

I'm not sure about Manoa, but I think there's a high chance of rain in Waimea, so I saw many people with ponchos and clothes and shoes that could get wet, as well as swimwear. I think it's a great opp
