Route
How does the day work?
The trolley passes Waikiki Beach and Kapiolani Park before dropping you at Diamond Head for the summit walk.
- pass by
1. Waikiki Beach
The ride begins along the Waikiki coast with views of the beach. You pass through on the way to Diamond Head.
- pass by
2. Kapiolani Park
The trolley continues through Kapiolani Park below the crater. This is a drive through the park.
- 120 min
3. Diamond Head State Monument
Your trail time is for the climb and descent at your own pace. The summit overlooks Waikiki and the ocean.
Diamond Head accounts for 2 hours of the 2.5 hour outing. The trolley returns to the Waikiki meeting stops.
Pickup and meeting point
- Twin Fin and Hyatt: The Twin Fin has a trolley stop. At Hyatt Regency Waikiki, your meeting point is the green awning on Koa Avenue.
- Other Waikiki stops: Ross Dress for Less pickup is on Seaside Avenue. The other two stops are Ka Lai Waikiki and the Grand Islander bus depot at Hilton Hawaiian Village.
- Arriving at Diamond Head: Take the tour trolley into the park. A separate taxi or walk to the gate won't let you join the group.
- Trail preparation: Suitable shoes help on the uneven sections of the climb. Sunscreen and drinking water belong with you on the trail.
Before you book
- Bring your own drinking water. It isn't supplied on the trolley or for your climb.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A later morning suits this shuttle if you can reach a fixed Waikiki stop and hike independently. The full trip takes 2.5 hours. Your group can reach 48 travelers, so it isn't a choice for an intimate guided outing.
For earlier morning pickup choices, Kaimana's Diamond Head shuttle costs from $35 per adult. For a guide on the climb, the electric bike tour costs from $199 per person and adds cycling.
Who it's not for
- Travelers planning to reach Diamond Head separately
- Walkers who want a guide on the climb
- Guests unable to manage a moderate hike
- Travelers with poor cardiovascular health
Good to know
Know before you go
Children ages 3 to 12 have their own ticket band. Infants through age 2 sit on an adult's lap. You need moderate fitness for the walk, and poor cardiovascular health is a reason to skip it.
Bottled water isn't supplied with this shuttle. Bring your own water and sunscreen for the independent climb. Suitable shoes matter on uneven sections, even though your transport takes you straight into the park.
Every guest must arrive with the tour vehicle. Driving yourself or taking a taxi won't work with this booking. If you reach Diamond Head separately, you won't be allowed to join the group there.
One booking holds one to 30 travelers, including an adult. That isn't the full group limit. The tour can carry up to 48 guests, so a small reservation doesn't make it a small-group outing.
Bad weather can lead to cancellation of this departure. Your booking is accepted right away. Keep the mobile ticket ready for the outing, and follow any departure updates sent before your selected trolley time.
Cancellation at least 24 hours ahead of scheduled departure qualifies for a full refund. Cancel later and the payment stays nonrefundable. Your chosen departure time determines when that cutoff falls.

Questions
People also ask
- Does Go Tours Hawaii include Diamond Head entry?
Yes, the reservation and entry ticket are included from $39.99 per adult. Return transport from Waikiki is part of that price. You must use that transport to enter, and you walk the summit trail without a guide.
- How much hiking time does Go Tours Hawaii allow at Diamond Head?
The Diamond Head stop is scheduled for 2 hours within a 2.5-hour outing. That stop covers your independent visit. Plan your walking and photograph stops around the return ride, since the trolley doesn't stay with you on the trail.
- Where does the Go Tours Hawaii Diamond Head trolley collect guests?
There are five fixed Waikiki collection points for the 2.5-hour tour. At Hyatt Regency, use the green awning on Koa Avenue. Hilton Hawaiian Village guests meet at the Grand Islander bus depot, so your hotel entrance may be the wrong place.
- Can you book Go Tours Hawaii's Diamond Head hike at noon?
Yes, noon is the latest daily departure. Earlier tours leave at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. You can keep your morning free with the noon choice, but you'll still need to reach a fixed Waikiki collection point.
- Can children join the Go Tours Hawaii Diamond Head shuttle?
Yes, tickets cover infants through age 2 and children ages 3 to 12. Adult tickets start at age 13. An adult must be on the booking, and the climb still requires moderate fitness from those walking it.
