The lazy man/woman's hike. I take ALL my visiting freinds here to see the view. It is worth the drive up. If you are not into hiking this is your compromise! The view is phenomenal up there.

1000+ stairs up a steep trail. But if you are up for the challenge this hike takes about 30 - 60 minutes with great rewarding views at the top. Bring water, sunscreen and wear covered shoes. You can also head to Makapu'u, Haunama Bay, Sandy Beach, Waimanalo, etc. afterwards for a full day of outdoor activity. I recommend going early in the morning (arrive at 6AM to hike) to catch the sunrise.

Very stereotypical Hawaii. But there is a reason so many people hike Diamond Head. It is absolutely breathtaking up here and worth the short hike up for the iconic tourist picture that everyone has from their trip here.
