The Diamond Head Trail is a hiking course located near Waikiki on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, within a volcanic crater! πΊ The trail is 1.6 km round trip, with an elevation gain of 171 meters, and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete, making it perfect for beginners πΆβοΈ. Starting with a paved path, the trail includes steep stairs and tunnels, adding a sense of adventure! πͺ The panoramic views of Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean from the summit are breathtaking π πΈ. Admission is $5 per person or $10 per car (cash not accepted, card payment only). Open from 6 AM to 4 PM, early mornings are cooler and less crowded, making them highly recommended π. Be sure to bring water and a hat, and wear comfortable trainers π. Parking is limited, so taking the bus (Route 23) or a rideshare from Waikiki is convenient π. The Christmas season (December) offers mild weather, but crowds increase after 8 AM β οΈ. This trail is a must for enjoying Hawaii's iconic scenery while soaking in its natural beauty and history! πβ¨
