Discover the Spirit of Hawaii

Although you can't make the drive to the top of Diamond Head, you can drive around it. A typical hike up to the top is only about 45 minutes, offering unparalleled views of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean.

Although the hike is only about 45 minutes to the top, plan on spending about 2-3 hours at Diamond Head State Monument, saving time for photo opps, picnics, and yoga. The park gates close at 6 pm, with the last hike offered at 4:30 pm.
