Diamond Head
Lēʻahi, commonly called Diamond Head, is a volcanic tuff cone above Waikīkī. The summit trail delivers a compact geology lesson and a broad Honolulu coast panorama.
Why go
The ascent crosses the crater interior and old military structures before reaching the rim. The panorama shows how Honolulu, the shoreline and the volcanic landform fit together. The climb itself, with stairs and exposed slopes, gives the view a strong sense of arrival.
What to look for
The trail crosses the tuff-cone interior.
The rim opens across Honolulu and Waikīkī.
Useful to know
Check current entry reservations.
Bring water for stairs and exposed slopes.
