Great trip!
It was a really good trip, just lots of people going up at the 5:00AM time to see the sunrise. Not their fault at all, just a little crowded at the top.

What a view
Great hike with an awesome view. Malasadas were delicious. Hike was doable for all ages and fitness levels. Plenty of time to go at your own pace if you wanted to. If you want a challenge do the stairway on the way up, it’s pretty cool, and go down the scenic/easier side for a good view. Definitely worth doing the sunrise option. It still had good light starting at 6am. And it’s much cooler. And we were back at our hotel by 8am and had the rest of the day to explore.

Adventurous experience
What an amazing hike! The tour had mostly Japanese people in it. My boyfriend and I were the only English speaking couple but it was still ok. You do the hike alone no tour guide with you. One thing I didn’t like is the tour guide didn’t tell us what time we had to be back so we almost missed the bus back. The malasadas were a great treat after!

Could improve
It was just OK, too many Japanese on our bus, we were the only English speakers and instruction were giving mostly in Japanese. My wife was not comfortable with the Japanese. Need better communication

Great sunrise tour!
Great trip! Very well organized. Booked the tour with malasadas. They were still slightly warm and very good. All staff were friendly. Glad we booked this tour. I would recommend the sunrise tour as it gets hot.

Worth getting up early for
This is such a fab idea. Getting up earlier to miss the crowds and see the beautiful sunrise. It was well organised and the drivers were professional and friendly.

The View!!!
My niece made it all the way to the top, and even though I couldn’t do the last fight of steps, the view was still spectacular. Early morning much less crowded. Our malasada were heavenly!
Operator response
Glad you enjoyed this tour. I look forward to seeing you again！

Wonderful
Our driver was so patient, funny and pleasant. He explained a lot to us about the history of diamond head and oh the malasadas were great. Loved the little certificate we got for making it to the top haha. Overall our experience was awesome. Will definitely be booking some other activities with this company if I come visit again.
