Review & FAQ:
The massive volcanic crater known as Diamond Head is over 300,000 years old, and the massive ridge around its edge is said to resemble the dorsal fin of a tuna fish. A trail leading to the top will allow hikers the opportunity to obtain some breathtaking views of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean. The hike takes about 1.5 to 2 hours round trip and includes some steep ascents over rocky terrain as well as a long staircase near the top. The park itself is open daily until 6:00pm, but hikers are not admitted after 4:30pm, to allow everyone enough time to make it to the top and back down again.
