Hiking Diamond Head | Most Famous Landmark in Hawaii
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Diamond Head, also known as "Lēʻahi" in Hawaiian, is a renowned volcanic cone located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. It is considered one of the most iconic landmarks in the state, offering breathtaking views and holding historical significance.
Formed over 150,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption, Diamond Head is a tuff cone-a result of explosive eruptions followed by ash and cinder accumulation. Its distinct silhouette can be seen from various parts of the island.
Situated on the southeastern edge of Oahu, near the city of Honolulu, Diamond Head is part of the Diamond Head State Monument, which spans over 475 acres. Visitors can easily access the monument via road, and there is a designated parking area available.
One of the main attractions of Diamond Head is the hiking trail that leads to its summit. The trail begins within the crater and stretches approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 kilometers) to the rim, ascending to an elevation of 760 feet (232 meters). The hike includes switchbacks, steep stairs, and tunnels. Upon reaching the top, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Thank you for giving us a view of Diamond Head. We are unable to physically do the walk and financially we are crippled at this time so . . . Thank you @Actionkid ❤❤
Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed the video of Diamond Head
Thanks Diamknd Head Was So Beautifull That View at the TOP!!!
I love hearing the different languages on your walks and when my wife and I go anywhere touristy. That was something that we kind of took for granted until 2020.
It’s nice to hear different languages too
I appreciate your video so much. I love to see videos that actually follow the trail and don’t cut off
How beautiful the view at the top! And that dramatic tunnel - such fun.
The tunnel was so cool!
Memories galore of time spent in Hawaii back in the mid-80's. Thanks!
Mahalo, AK. Magnificent!
I'm glad you ended up goin right after and up the second set up stairs to the bunker! I'm glad you got to show them that too!!❤
Absolutely gorgeous view of the bay when you crested the hill, thank you for taking us with you…
I absolutely loved the views from up there!
Great hike love the view from diamond head.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for those amazing views. Very cool hike. 🌋
Wonderful place. Many people who hiked here 50 years ago are still alive. What could happen is that Neuralink, and Midjourney are united to make videos of that time from peoples memories. Besides videocamera we are also recording to memories in our mind.
Thank you for taking us up to the top of Diamond Head! When I was there I wasn't able to go there but always wanted to see it. You went above and beyond hiking while in Oahu.
Awesome, glad you’re able to see what you missed now!
The first time I visited diamond head right after 911 a few days, it was totally free. I paid a local one dollar to borrow a flashlight . I am glad you updated the vlog. I still want to go back and do it again.
This video was fantastic. Both hiking videos were great. The views were worth the effort. I wouldn’t have lasted. Too afraid of heights. Thanks for all your great videos.
You’re welcome, loved the views from up top!
I've done this hike recently too and with "slippahs" (flip-flops). There was a concrete structure at the summit above where the geodetic survey marker that was removed back in November 2022 (at 35:44 in your video where that young lady was posing for a picture).
🤙🌺🏞️ love this calm peaceful beautiful walk and glad I don't have to do it myself! 😂🤙🚶♂️
Hubby was fine going up, but at 13:31 he twisted on that "pothole" and sprained his ankle. It shook him up really good so we were thankful for the couple in front of us who doubled back to help us get him back on his feet. Just remember, the downward path has its own challenges.
This hike brings back memories, and it was a fun scenic hike to Diamond Head! 24:25 I just check my photo album, and I went up these steps into the tunnel. It gets crowded and can feel claustrophobic. 30:00 Look at those views!! 😍 34:08 I remember being up here and seeing the spectacular views of Waikiki! 😍 36:32 You're so funny walking against the rock! 🤣🪨 I don't recall going this path, so it's neat to see you recorded this! 39:21 I took a picture of this stair way at the bottom but probably didn't climb up. 🤔 Thank you so much for sharing this hike, AK! 🤗⛰
My pleasure, I’m glad you enjoyed hiking Diamond Head. It was so fun to go to the top
Watching from Astoria, Queens, NY.
👍Superb Hawaii and San Francisco videos, especially the views at the end of the Diamond Head hike. I'm envious!
The views at the top were spectacular
Very informative and educational, I never knew that Native Hawaiians can hike for free and without reservation.
It’s good to know!
Hawaii residents can hike for free, not necessarily Native Hawaiians.
Triple wow AK thank you for this great video
My wife and I just got back from Hawaii and we did the hike, and it was extraordinary !!! Nice video
I love watching your videos because it makes me have more confidence in myself seeing someone who is also under developed!
I appreciate this video. I'm disabled and couldn't make it across the parking lot.
I became curious about Diamond Head today.. because my bff said that she had a great view of it from her hotel balcony.
Quite the hike, and the trail was very dangerous at times… glad you’re alright…
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful! Thank you for doing this so I didn't have to! I'm not young anymore. You did a 👌 job of letting me hang out with to experience this hike!
Hi everyone watching from Scotland uk 😂😊
I did the hike around 10 years ago. The trail was different then and you had to climb out of the slot in the mountain that was close to your last stairs. But the view is worth the hike! Thank you for the visit. It’s not for the weak! 🌺
The entry to Diamondhead is so different than it was in 2005. Thanks for the update. Not as much vegetation either from what I remember. Good video.
Awesome🚶♂️
Awesome walk ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Very nice hike. I did it in February of 2019. Amazing. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Another great hike , i actually thought when i saw the start that this is going to be easier than the previous hike 🤔So steep climb at 24:26 and that tunnel at 26:19 i probably would bang my head lol😄But the views from the top 34:27 are worth it , Diamond Head looks great and the views from there WoW 😎Thank you for sharing another great hike A K 🙂👍!!!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the hike
Great video, my wife and I will be there in may 2024..again great video
good exercise climbing Diamond Head, luv those spectacular views 🤩
Gr8 job young man😎
That was quite the adventure, AK. Thank you! It brought back childhood memories for me. Not of Hawaii but of the continental US. places like Yellowstone, etc. I remember doing a lot of hiking trails with my parents, narrow trails and switchbacks. I'd almost forgotten until I saw this. I really enjoyed the hike! Everything from the red-headed birds to the magnificent views. Did you see any crystals? I collect raw minerals and shells:-) I hope you do Yellowstone someday:-)
I believe you could see Koko Head(?) in the distance at 16:05. Awesome view from “End of Trail” 22:05. I personally didn’t care for walking the tunnel even though my head was safe 😅 At 30:00 it’s almost as if you can see the curve of the horizon. This video brought back a lot of memories especially the stairs at 31:45. I climbed them a long time ago and I had no interest in climbing them again! So glad you completed the DH Crater trail hike! Thanks for recording it for us! 🌺
Wow that tunnel was crazy 😳 good job Ak❗🙌🏾🤩
18:08 red headed 22:00 craters view 25:38 inside the volcano 35:30 land ocean and sky
Wow. Beautiful view. I knew you would be able to do it.
Yeah, hiking up the Diamond Head is fun 🤩 Starting next week, I’m gonna walk the trail everyday for 30 days. I wanna see how that’ll make me look physically. Oh and I too saw the weasel-looking animal when I was hiking up there. I wonder if it’s the same weasel 😂
there was an old dude that ran up and down roughly 3 times in the time it took us to go up and down once. Amazing!
Great video AK Beautiful views from summit. Any plans going to the Big Island and Kilauea. Thanks AK.
Bucket list item😎👍
What a fun hike AK. That's crazy crowded tho.
This mountain looks a little more trail friendly than that pillbox mountain you climbed. At least there were rails. It was challenging to you, but I also applaud the parents who had their children with them & the parents who carried their infant child on their backs. EVERYONE that night including you, slept good 😅😅
LOL at the guy in front of you at 16:35 who kept looking back at you like he's never seen anyone recording a video.
Awesome
On the way down should be relaxing.
Great video. I did the same hike a couple weeks earlier
Howdy, watching from Finland, we will have summer soon, so imma looking for summer fashion styles here👍
❤
I am from Thailand , Do you like Thailand ? Welcome to Bangkok Thailand
Good morning
From Puerto Rico
Many Blessings
Howdy from Slovenija.....peace and love
😂 yes it’s smart to wear shoes but when we did this hike in elementary, we all had slippers on.
Not anywhere near as crowded when I was there in the 90s
That was put in by the army in 41 during W W 2, as a look out for the enemy warships
what blocks people from going right at that intersection?
Is that tunnel a lava tube?
oh ok a short cut
Is he in Hawaii or San Fran ? It’s getting ridiculous with all this back and forth
Why is it ridiculous and so hard to figure out? There's no going back and forth, plus he included the recording date on the video description.
I remember it being very hot.
