I was very impressed with the hike even though it was abit challenging with the humidity the day I went. The view from the top was absolutely wonderful and the history behind was very informative.Full review by Sheldon M

Beautiful hike. Ascent less than a mile in total but pretty strenuous. Pay off in amazing views. Make sure to book in advance - you can't buy tickets at the gate without reserving them first (a …Full review by Bob J

It depends on your level of fitness/stability on uneven surfaces. The beginning of the hike is a very easy to walk trail but there are rockier parts as you move along. The stairs are tougher to climb but there are handrails and you can take rests on the way. There were people half your ages having to rest along the trail!
We are visiting in Late August with a 18mth old and 11,and 8 year old boys. We feel the hike is not suitable for us, but would like to see this site. Is there any point to visiting if not doing the hike up. Is there nice park facilities or other nice areas of interest to spend time at here. Or do we give this area a miss? Thank you

I did see kids with parents hiking Diamond Head. I did see people wearing shoes that is better worn at the shopping complex. To some it is a moderate hike, to some it is an easy hike. I guess just go if you happen to bring your kid for regular hikes but if not, better don't. Nothing much to do at the base. But before you entering the tunnel to Diamond Head's car park, there is a public park that you can jog.
Has anyone done this with young children, aged 4. I don't think the walking is a problem for him but thinking about the safety issues. Thanks!

There was a family with a boy younger than 4 when we were there. The child was well behaved, the dad carrying a folder stroller and everyone seemed to be having a good time. You can always turn around before the top if not appropriate for your child. The path would feel like an exploration and is interesting, even without going all the way to the summit. There is no particular danger as long as the child isn't absolutely out-of-control, but this would be true for any climber. Safety would be a concern only if you move off the path and purposefully move into restricted areas.
What is the best way to get from the Hilton Village to the beginning of the trail without a car? Don't mind a bit of a walk before the trail. Thanks
