Diamond Head


Aloha, everyone~  I will like to introduce one of the most easy hiking in Oahu. " Diamond head State Monument" 


Diamond Head 
Difficult: ★☆☆☆☆  
Distance: Short 
Hours spending: 30 - 60 minutes   
Open hours: Daily 6:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m, every day of the year including holidays 
Address: Diamond Head RdHonolulu, HI 96815, near by Kapiolani Community College. 
History:  It is a volcanic cone with highest vertical height reaching 762 feet summit of the Diamond top. It is un-active volcanic.  From the top you can look the Pacific Ocean. The crater is 3,520 feet in diameter, encompassing 350 acres of space. 






What should you bring ? 

Personally, you can bring a bottle water, sunscreen, knapsack, hat, wear athletic shoes phone and selfie stick!! if you do not have camera. 


Interesting: Perhaps, you could find a diamond of your own! or if you interesting in Geology, you could find the volcanic rock.




I will no explain the process of the Diamond Head because you can just take this short hiking and please enjoy your process of hiking.
