Measuring in at almost 500 acres, this state monument produces truly mind-blowing views out across the water and over Waikiki. Unless you are a Hawai'i resident with a Hawai'i ID, you must make reservations to enter the monument, for a small fee: gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead

Diamond Head State Monument is only open from 6am-6pm, with the last hike starting at 4pm. Often, going earlier in the day means fewer crowds.

The sweaty ascent is definitely worth it.
You will be rewarded with a great view over the crater and Honolulu.
Highly recommended, especially early in the morning.
