Diamond Head State Monument

Offering breath-taking views overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Honolulu, the view on Diamond Head is so good that it was used by the US military as a post for preventing attacks against Honolulu.

While the hike isn’t that long in terms of distance, the ascent that takes you to the edge of a 300,000 year old crater can be somewhat challenging. Parts of the trail are over uneven rock, and the 99 steps near the end of the hike are steep. It is recommended for you to bring a water bottle as the only water fountains are at the beginning of the trail.

Easily accessible from Waikiki via the city bus or car, the Manoa Falls trail is a relatively easy 45-min walk up the mountain. The entire trail is about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) out and back and what awaits you end the end of the trail is a 150 foot (46m) waterfall. The waterfall is usually bigger after a rainfall and hardly more than a small dribble during dry and hot summer months.
