Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Rejsende tages først til Diamond Head Hike, hvor de vil fuldføre den 1,5 mil lange sti. Diamanthovedet er en meget populær vandretur i Waikiki. Den 0,8 mil lange vandretur fra stihovedet til toppen er stejl og anstrengende og stiger 560 fod, når den stiger op fra kraterbunden. Gåturen er et indblik i Diamond Heads geologiske og militære historie. Beliggende nær Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, der har smukke vilde blomster og er klassificeret som moderat. Stien bruges primært til vandre- og naturture og er tilgængelig året rundt.
Når de først er sat af ved Makapuu Fyrtårn, vil rejsende være i stand til at opleve en anden type vandreatmosfære. Med udsigt fra kysten og landet vil du blive underholdt med udsigt hvert sekund. Hvis du er heldig om vinteren, vil du se hvaler. På superklare dage kan du også muligvis se de andre øer fra deres synspunkter. En must-see oplevelse!

Great hike, tour guides drop you off and pick you up from hikes only. Go early in the morning as it gets super hot. Great tour Guides Matt and Tommy.
Beautiful views but bring lots of water. Our driver was awesome (Tommy) was quite witty. And very knowledgeable of the island.
This is an extremely organized tour they run! There was no delay everything ran on time. Both of our drivers Tommy and Mathew were amazing and upbeat and made the tours all the more special with their commentary. Highly recommend!
Great hikes that can feel a bit challenging to the inexperienced as it is has quite steep passages. You can check the details of the topography of the trails on AllTrails app. The journey starts early with a pickup from Waikiki to Diamond Head. The hikes takes around 1h30 to do (plenty of time to take pictures). Then the group is brought back to Waikiki for the second pickup to the Blowhole site then to Makapu'u Point. The Lighthouse and the view are breathtaking but the climb is steep. I'd suggest you do those hikes very early morning to avoid the excessive heat. The tour provides you with maps, guidance to the trails and water. You have 2 hours to complete each on your own.
The communication about pick up was not great. However, Tommy (tour bus driver) redeemed that experience. He is so knowledgeable and friendly. He made the rides enjoyable. He also gave recs for local restaurants and activities. Thanks, Tommy!
Our family of four took this tour, which is actually two separate hikes. The van picked us up across the street from our hotel at 6:00 in the morning. It transported us to Diamond head. The first tour guide was pleasant but did not give us much information. We were dropped at the base of the trail and told when to meet to leave. The hike itself is amazing and beautiful. Comfortable sneakers that can handle varied terrain is a must. People often come to the park on their own. There's also a trolley that travels the entire island. There's a souvenir shop at the base of the mountain. It is better to do it early in the morning. It is quite a strenuous hike and gets very warm. Once at the top, you feel as if you are at the top of the world. The second part of the tour was the lighthouse. Communication about transportation was not great. We were dropped off at a different hotel and told to wait for the next ride. The second driver arrived approximately 30 minutes later. He was much more interactive and gave us great history along the drive. The second part of the tour was equally as strenuous, though the road was paved. These hikes were a workout! But you can see so much of the beautiful nature that Hawaii enjoys. Both drivers offered water. Recommend going to the bathroom before going to the lighthouse, and there are no bathrooms available at the site.
Aloha and mahalo for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful hikes and views. Thanks for the helpful tips and honest notes—we’ll use them to keep improving. Hope to see you again soon!
I highly recommend both of these hikes if you visit O'ahu! Diamond Head requires reservations, so I appreciated that the tour did this for me, and drove me to the starting point. We had ample time to hike Diamond Head. There was a bit of a lag between the tours, with the first bus dropping us off at a location in Honolulu, and we had to wait about 20 mins for the second bus. The Lighthouse hike was incredible - best hike I've ever been on, and the tour guide even brought us home by way of the Blow Hole. I know a few people struggled doing both hikes, but it is manageable if you are in decent shape.
The driver was very friendly and very professional. Our trip was awesome and we had a good time . They were on time and very informative .
Great experience. Only wish I could’ve been allowed longer at the lighthouse trail, but I still got to see whales so it worked out!
Matthew was a wonderful guide! He is proud of the local culture, and he wants to share that with his guests. He picked me up early enough that I was able to see a spectacular sunrise at Diamond Head. I recommend going early as the trail gets very crowded, and it’s very narrow. 2 hours is plenty of time to hike and enjoy the view from the top. This hike is not paved and has some uneven ground since it is cut through the mountain. It is a switchback hike to help with the elevation gain, but there are several stairs to get to the summit. Matthew picked me back up at the time promised. Just to note, with this back to back tour, you drop off the people that are only doing the Diamond Head hike before picking up individuals that are only doing the Makapu’u Lighthouse hike. Having the trips back to back, the downtime was good. I didn’t find the hikes to be too much to do together, but I’m an avid hiker. Again, 2 hours is plenty for the Makapu’u hike. As stated, this hike is on a paved road, but it is a steeper incline throughout the hike. Go early as there isn’t shade along the way. There are plenty of lookout spots to stop and take a break. In the winter months, it’s a great spot for whale watching. Highly recommend these hikes either together or separately. Matthew is funny and makes the trip an adventure.
Thank you for your kind words and great insights! We're so glad you had an amazing experience with Matthew and enjoyed both hikes. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
