Diamond Head, known in Hawaiian as Lēʻahi, is a volcanic cone on Oahu, offering dramatic summit views over Waikiki and the Pacific. Hikers follow a paved trail that winds through tunnels and switchbacks to reach the crater rim, where panoramic vistas await. This natural wonder, rich in cultural history, stands as one of Oahu’s most photographed and memorable attractions. The moderate hike rewards visitors with stunning coastal scenery and a unique sense of place in Hawaii.
