This is the highest point along the Makapu'u Point Trail — a superb vantage point for taking in views of Koko Head, Koko Crater, and offshore islets that serve as wildlife sanctuaries for Hawaiian seabirds. You can also see the red roof of the historic Makapu'u Lighthouse below you. The lighthouse itself was built back in 1909, and is unfortunately off-limits for visitors.

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: https://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.

Easily Hawaii's most-recognized landmark, Lē'ahi, or Diamond Head, is the unmistakable profile you can see to the east from Waikiki. It got its name from Westerners who mistook the calcite crystals in the summit crater for diamonds. Lē'ahi is surrounded by almost 500 acres of Diamond Head State Monument, which is open only from 6am-6pm. If you are not a Hawai'i resident with Hawai'i ID, you must make advance reservations online before you visit; entry is $5 per person for non-residents, and $10 per vehicle if you are driving.

There's a separated pedestrian walkway in this tunnel, which offers some welcome shade as you walk up toward Kē'ahi (Diamond Head).

If you are not a Hawai'i resident with a Hawai'i ID, you need advance reservations to enter the monument. Make them online via this website https://gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead ; they cost $5 per person and, if you're driving, $10 per vehicle too.

This is a scenic lookout on the way up to the Lē'ahi (Diamond Head) trailhead. Walking to the trailhead is a great way to avoid the parking crush, especially since there's a bus stop not far away.

Keep in mind that unless you are a Hawai'i resident with Hawai'i-issued ID, you'll need advance reservations, which can be made online for $5 per person, plus $10 per vehicle if you're driving to the trailhead: https://gostateparks.hawaii.gov/diamondhead Also of note, the park is only open from 6am-6pm, and the last reservation for the day is at 4pm.
